The Mathematics Fundamentals Handbook was developed to assist nuclear facility operating contractors provide operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of mathematics and its application to facility operation. The handbook includes a review of introductory mathematics and the concepts and functional use of algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Word problems, equations, calculations, and practical exercises that require the use of each of the mathematical concepts are also presented. This information will provide personnel with a foundation for understanding and performing basic mathematical calculations that are associated with various DOE nuclear facility operations.

In the early 1960s, the emergence of the theory of plate tectonics started a revolution in the earth sciences. Since then, scientists have verified and refined this theory, and now have a much better understanding of how our planet has been shaped by plate-tectonic processes. We now know that, directly or indirectly, plate tectonics influences nearly all geologic processes, past and present. Indeed, the notion that the entire Earth’s surface is continually shifting has profoundly changed the way we view our world.

This UFC (Unified Facilities Criteria) document provides guidance on how to design electronic security systems required by the current antiterrorism/force-protection environment. Electronic security systems consist of access control systems (card reader systems), closed-circuit television (CCTV) system, intrusion detection systems, data transmission media systems (a means to communicate information internally and externally to DoD sites), and provision of local or regional dispatch centers (also known as security command centers). Electronic security systems are one part of an overall physical security plan. This document provides guidance to commanders, architects and engineers on how to design electronic security systems for projects to include new construction, additions, renovations, expeditionary, or temporary construction.

Manufacturing Simulation with Plant Simulation and Simtalk: Usage and Programming with Examples and Solutions /by Steffen Bangsow (Author) .This book is a systematical introduction to the development of simulation models and the implementation and evaluation of simulation experiments with Plant Simulation. "Manufacturing Simulation with Plant Simulation and SimTalk" is aimed at all users of Plant Simulation looking for an easy entry into the program. A particular focus is on the introduction into the simulation flow language SimTalk and its use in various areas of the simulation. In over 100 examples the author shows, how the modules for simulation models combined, and how to deal with SimTalk complex control and analysis tasks. The contents of the book ranges from the description of the basic functions of the material flow components to demanding topics such as the realization of a database connection using the ODBC interface or the exchange of data with Microsoft Excel on DDE.
