This book provides state-of-the-art advances in several areas of importance in energy, combustion, power, propulsion, environment using fossil fuels and alternative fuels, and biofuels production and utilization. Availability of clean and sustainable energy is of greater importance now than ever before in all sectors of energy, power, mobility and propulsion. Written by internationally renowned experts, the latest fundamental and applied research innovations on cleaner energy production as well as utilization for a wide range of devices extending from micro scale energy conversion to hypersonic propulsion using hydrocarbon fuels are provided. The tailored technical tracks and contributions from the world renowned technical experts are portrayed in the respective field to highlight different but complementary views on fuels, combustion, power and propulsion and air toxins with special focus on current and future R&D needs and activities. The energy and environment sustainability require a multi-pronged approach involving development and utilization of new and renewable fuels, design of fuel-flexible combustion systems that can be easily operated with the new fuels, and develop novel and environmentally friendly technologies for improved utilization of all kinds of gas, liquid and solid fuels. This volume is a useful book for practicing engineers, research engineers and managers in industry and research labs, academic institutions, graduate students, and final year undergraduate students in Mechanical, Chemical, Aerospace, Energy and Environmental Engineering.

Overall, the book gives a clear and systematic presentation of models and methods. It will be an excellent source for theoretical and applied statisticians who are interested in research on change-point analysis and its applications to many areas. —Mathematical Reviews (Review of the First Edition) Revised and expanded, Parametric Statistical Change Point Analysis, Second Edition is an in-depth study of the change point problem from a general point of view, and a deeper look at change point analysis of the most commonly used statistical models. For some time, change point problems have appeared throughout the sciences in such disciplines as economics, medicine, psychology, signal processing, and geology; more recently, they have also been found extensively in applications related to biomedical imaging data, array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) data, and gene expression data. These areas of interest—new and old—have motivated substantial research on change point problems and led to a significant body of literature in the field. The present monograph stands as a valuable contribution to this literature. Key features and topics: * Clear and systematic exposition with a great deal of introductory material included; * Different models in each chapter, including gamma and exponential models, rarely examined thus far in the literature; * Extensive examples to emphasize key concepts and different methodologies used, namely the likelihood ratio criterion as well as the Bayesian and information criterion approaches; * An up-to-date comprehensive bibliography and two indices. New to the Second Edition: * New examples of change point analysis in modern molecular biology and other fields such as finance and air traffic control; * Two new sections of applications of the underlying change point models in analyzing the array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (aCGH) data for DNA copy number changes; * A new chapter on change points in the hazard function; * A new chapter on other practical change point models, such as the epidemic change point model and a smooth-and-abrupt change point model. This monograph will be a highly useful resource for an impressively broad range of researchers in statistics, as well as a useful supplement for graduate courses in the field.

This volume provides a collection of exercises together with their solutions in design and analysis of experiments. The theoretical results, essential for understanding, are given first. These exercises have been collected during the authors teaching courses over a long period of time. These are particularly helpful to the students studying the design of experiments and instructors and researchers engaged in the teaching and research of design by experiment. D. G. Kabe retired as Professor of Statistics from St. Mary's University in Canada, having taught statistics and guided Ph.D. students there. Earlier he has been a faculty member at the Dalhousie University, Northern Michigan University, and Wayne State University. He is the author/co-author of more than two hundred research papers and two books. His research interests include design and analysis of experiments, and multivariate statistical analysis. Arjun K. Gupta is Distinguished University Professor and Professor of Mathematics and Statistics at Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, Ohio.
