The idiots got you down? Get a needle and thread and stab your stress away with this collection of wash-your-mouth-out-with-soap cross-stitch patterns. Cursing a blue streak has never been so satisfying! There are times when just hollering obscenities won’t do—you need to stab something. Now you can do both. Maybe Swearing Will Help combines two of the best stress-relievers—cursing, and cross stitch—into one of the most irreverently enjoyable crafting experiences you’ll ever have. With 25 patterns from the crafting world’s most bad-ass cross-stitch designers, this book has everything from a modern take on the traditional sampler to retro comic book designs, all with snarky to downright foul-mouthed phrases. It is definitely not your grandmother’s cross stitch!

This book applies traditional reliability engineering methods to prognostics and health management (PHM), looking at remaining useful life (RUL) and its dynamics, to enable engineers to effectively and accurately predict machinery and systems useful lifespan. One of the key tools used in defining and implementing predictive maintenance policies is the RUL indicator. However, it is essential to account for the uncertainty inherent to the RUL, as otherwise predictive maintenance strategies can be incorrect. This can cause high costs or, alternatively, inappropriate decisions. Methods used to estimate RUL are numerous and diverse and, broadly speaking, fall into three categories: model-based, data-driven, or hybrid, which uses both. The author starts by building on established theory and looks at traditional reliability engineering methods through their relation to PHM requirements and presents the concept of RUL loss rate. Following on from this, the author presents an innovative general method for defining a nonlinear transformation enabling the mean residual life to become a linear function of time.

Solar Thermal Conversion Technologies for Industrial Process Heating presents a comprehensive look at the use of solar thermal energy in industrial applications, such as textiles, chemical processing, and food. The successful projects implemented in a variety of industries are shown in case studies, alongside performance assessment methodologies. The book includes various solar thermal energy conversion technologies and new techniques and applications of solar collectors in industrial sectors. Solar energy is the largest and most widely distributed renewable energy resource on the planet and can be utilized for a wide range of applications, such as solar water heating, photovoltaic electricity generation, solar thermal energy generation, and all manner of passive and active solar architectures. Besides environmental consciousness, the dwindling of traditional energy sources also marks solar energy as the appropriate energy source to meet the increasing energy demand worldwide. Solar thermal collectors can be used effciently to meet the heating needs of industrial processes because many industrial processes in various industries operate at temperatures ranging from 80 °C to 240 °C. Industrial energy analysis shows that solar thermal energy has enormous applications at low (i.e. 20–200 °C), medium, and medium-high (i.e. 80–240 °C) temperature levels. Almost all industrial processes require heat in some parts of their processes.
