    Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow:
    (O’Reilly Media, Inc.,, 2019) Aurélien Géron
    Through a series of recent breakthroughs, deep learning has boosted the entire field of machine learning. Now, even programmers who know close to nothing about this technology can use simple, efficient tools to implement programs capable of learning from data. This practical book shows you how. By using concrete examples, minimal theory, and two production-ready Python frameworksâ??Scikit-Learn and TensorFlowâ??author Aurélien Géron helps you gain an intuitive understanding of the concepts and tools for building intelligent systems. Youâ learn a range of techniques, starting with simple linear regression and progressing to deep neural networks. With exercises in each chapter to help you apply what youâ??ve learned, all you need is programming experience to get started. Explore the machine learning landscape, particularly neural nets Use Scikit-Learn to track an example machine-learning project end-to-end Explore several training models, including support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, and ensemble methods Use the TensorFlow library to build and train neural nets Dive into neural net architectures, including convolutional nets, recurrent nets, and deep reinforcement learning Learn techniques for training and scaling deep neural nets

    Microbial Processing of Metal Sulfides
    (Springer, 2007) Donati Edgado R.; Wolfgang Sand
    The application of microbiological methods to the extraction of metals from minerals has gained a prominent role. It is supported by several bioleaching and biooxidation processes operating at different sites worldwide. In recent years, new techniques and new results about proteomics and bioinformatics have brought a new perspective on microbial processes. This book focuses on the basic aspects of the process with special emphasis on recent contributions regarding the chemical and microbial aspects of the bioleaching process and the use of microorganisms in the treatment of complex ores and concentrates. It has been written by recognized researchers in order to introduce the main subjects of microbial processing to undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists working in this field, as well as interested industrialists.

    Handbook of Energy Audits
    (Taylor & Francis, 2010) Albert Thumann; William J. Younger; Terry Niehus
    As a result of changes in the energy marketplace, the role of energy audits has greatly expanded. There is an increasing need in business and industry to more effectively manage energy use. Reducing utility costs is still one of the most effective and achievable strategies for lowering the operating costs. Today, many large energy consumers are contracting with energy service providers to implement energy projects. This arrangement necessitates the establishing of baseline energy usage as well as quantification of savings resulting from project implementation. Accurate and complete energy audits are essential as a means to assess and verify a project’s success at meeting contracted goals. This book is designed to provide you with the fundamental knowledge you need to evaluate how energy is used in commercial facilities, establish accurate baseline information, and identify where energy consumption can be reduced.

    Energy Storagein Power Systems
    (Wiley, 2016) Francisco Díaz-González; Andreas Sumper; Oriol Gomis-Bellmunt
    Power systems are complex structures composed of an enormous number of different installations, economic actors, and – in smaller numbers – system operators. In the traditional approach, the system is dominated by economies of scale. This means that for steadily increasing consumption, a large power generation capacity is installed, mainly nuclear, coal- or gas-fired thermal, and hydroelectric.

    BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
    (S. CHAND & COMPANY PVT. LTD., 2008) V.K. MEHTA; ROHIT MEHTA
    Everybody is familiar with the functions that electricity can perform. It can be used for lighting, heating, traction and countless other purposes. The question always arises, “What is electricity” ? Several theories about electricity were developed through experiments and by observation of its behaviour. The only theory that has survived over the years to explain the nature of electricity is the Modern Electron theory of matter. This theory has been the result of research work conducted by scientists like Sir William Crooks, J.J. Thomson, Robert A. Millikan, Sir Earnest Rutherford and Neils Bohr. In this chapter, we shall deal with some basic concepts concerning electricity.
