There are three primary goals that this book wishes to achieve: (1) Herein is the most prevalent standardized electrical calculations for use in reducing redundancy in the work effort, reducing repetitive errors, and freeing up more time for productive and innovative and imaginative engineering solutions. (2) Providing a standardized checklist worksheet for field survey work of existing conditions to help facilitate obtaining all the necessary materials the first time around and without errors and omissions. And (2) the maximum security achievable for our highly classified facilities that we are dependent upon for our survival. Four secondary goals we wish to achieve are (1) various methods for conserving energy and resources, (2) the evaluation of life cycle of energy-saving design techniques and equipment selection, (3) the use of a standardized value engineering (VE) guide when performing value engineering workshops, and (4) employing various A and E, VE methods that can be employed for reducing first costs, operating costs, and life cycle costs (LCCs), all the while conserving energy and resources.

There are two primary goals that this book wishes to achieve; 1) Reliability through redundancy of design that is not dependent upon the capability of the rest of the system, and 2) the maximum security achievable for our highly classified facilities that we are dependent upon for our survival. In order for each chapter to be a stand-alone entity, in some cases repetitive material found in other chapters is included to facilitate continuity. Hence you won't have to go to other chapters and sub heading to keep you abreast of the current material. There are two chapters, 7 and 9, that have specific items identified for civilian government contractors who perform oversees work at our embassies, chancelleries, and military facilities.

Are pandemics the end of cities? Or, do they present an opportunity for us to reshape cities in ways making us even more innovative, successful and sustainable? Pandemics such as COVID-19 (and comparable disruptions) have caused intense debates over the future of cities. Through a series of investigative studies, Designing Smart and Resilient Cities for a Post-Pandemic World: Metropandemic Revolution seeks to critically discuss and compare different cases, innovations and approaches as to how cities can utilise nascent and future digital technology and/or new strategies in order to build stronger resilience to better tackle comparable large-scale pandemics and/or disruptions in the future. The authors identify ten separate societal areas where future digital technology can impact resilience. These are discussed in individual chapters. Each chapter concludes with a set of proposed "action points" based on the conclusions of each respective study. These serve as solid policy recommendations of what courses of action to take, to help increase the resilience in smart cities for each designated area. Securing resilience and cohesion between each area will bring about the metropandemic revolution. This book features a foreword by Nobel laureate Peter C. Doherty and an afterword by Professor of Urban Technologies, Carlo Ratti. It provides fresh and unique insights on smart cities and futures studies in a pandemic context, offers profound reflections on contemporary societal functions and the needs to build resilience and combines lessons learned from historical pandemics with possibilities offered by future technology.

With approximately 20% of couples experiencing difficulty in conceiving, a major proportion of them may require assistance in managing their infertility. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a very effective, inexpensive, first-line treatment in properly selected cases and is being increasingly used by clinics around the world, as it is less invasive than other techniques, such as GIFT and ZIFT, and can be utilized outside sophisticated assisted conception units. Presenting an up-to-date review of IUI, this genuinely comprehensive text has been written by a top-class team of authors, and contains clinical assessment of couples and the use of IUI techniques, the basic information needed to set up and run an efficient IUI unit, as well as an in-depth review of the underlying science involved.

Cyber-physical systems are the natural extension of the so-called “Internet of Things”. They are “systems of collaborating computational elements controlling physical entities”. Cyber Physical Systems of Systems (CPSoS) are considered “The Next Computing Revolution” after Mainframe computing (60’s-70’s), Desktop computing & Internet (80’s-90’s) and Ubiquitous computing (00’s); because all aspects of daily life are rapidly evolving towards humans interacting amongst themselves as well as their environment via computational devices (often mobile), and because in most cases systems will employ their computational capabilities to interact amongst themselves.CPSoS enable the physical world to merge with the cyber one. Using sensors, the embedded systems monitor and collect data from physical processes, such as the steering of a vehicle, energy consumption or human health functions. The systems are networked making the data globally available. CPSoS make it possible for software applications to directly interact with events in the physical world, for example to measure and react to changes in blood pressure or peaks in energy consumption. Embedded hardware and software systems crucially expand the functionality and competitiveness of vehicles, aircraft, medical equipment, production plants and household appliances. Connecting these systems to a virtual environment of globally networked services and information systems opens completely new areas of innovation and novel business platforms.Future CPSoS will have many sophisticated, interconnected parts that must instantaneously exchange, parse, and act on detailed data in a highly coordinated manner. Continued advances in science and engineering will be necessary to enable advances in design and development of these complex systems.
