Applying pollution prevention strategies - the most viable environmental management option of the future - offers a cost-effective means of minimizing waste. Pollution Prevention: The Waste Management Approach to the 21st Century provides the background needed to understand not only pollution prevention but also waste control. Thorough, clear, and concise, it explains the fundamentals of pollution prevention and their applications to real-world problems. It explores pollution prevention through energy conservation, health and safety management, and accident prevention. The authors include illustrative examples and case studies that demonstrate the solutions offered.

The feedback control of nonlinear differential and algebraic equation systems (DAEs) is a relatively new subject. It has generated growing interest inspired by its engineering applications and by advances in the feedback control of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This book introduces readers to the inherent characteristics of nonlinear DAE systems and the methods used to address their control. It then discusses the significance of DAE systems to the modeling and control of chemical processes. Within a unified framework, the authors present recent results on the stabilization, output tracking, and disturbance elimination for a large class of nonlinear DAE systems.

A cluster of workstations provides engineers with a familiar, cost-effective environment for high performance computing. However, workstations often have no dedicated link and communicate slowly on a local area network (LAN), such as the Ethernet. Thus, to effectively harness the parallel processing or distributed computing capabilities of workstations, new algorithms need to be developed with a higher computation-to-communication ratio. Distributed Computer-Aided Engineering presents distributed algorithms for three fundamental areas: finite element analysis, design optimization, and visualization - providing a new direction in high performance structural engineering computing.
