Beyond Lean: Simulation in Practice
Charles R. Standridge · Grand Valley State University
Lean thinking, as well as associated processes and tools, have involved into a ubiquitous perspective for improving systems particularly in the manufacturing arena. Discrete event simulation is recognized as one beyond-the-boundaries of lean technique. Thus, the fundamental goal of this text is to show how discrete event simulation can be used in addition to lean thinking to achieve greater benefits in system improvement than with lean alone.

Introduction to Programming with C++
Jin He · Fresno City College
As part of OER project funded by Fresno City College OER Award Program, this book was created based on CSCI 40 course curriculum at Fresno City College, which was aligned to CID course descriptions of Comp 112 and Comp 122. The book can be used for the first semester of computer programming courses. It uses C++ as a vehicle to convey the basis concepts in computer programming. It focuses on programming logic, structure, and methodology. It covers the programming fundamentals such as variables an

Key Elements of Green Chemistry
Lucian Lucia · North Carolina State University
Green chemistry, in addition to being a science, it is also a philosophy and nearly a religion. Attendance at American Chemical Society Green Chemistry & Engineering Conferences will instill such an ideal into any attendant because of the nearly universal appeal and possibilities in this novel approach to radicalizing the business of doing science and engineering.

Java, Java, Java - Object-Oriented Programming
Ralph Morelli & Ralph Wade · Trinity College
We have designed this third edition of Java, Java, Java to be suitable for a typical Introduction to Computer Science (CS1) course or for a slightly more advanced Java as a Second Language course. This edition retains the “objects first” approach to programming and problem solving that was characteristic of the first two editions. Throughout the text we emphasize careful coverage of Java language features, introductory programming concepts, and object-oriented design principles.

All Things Flow - Fluid Mechanics for the Natural Sciences
Bill Smyth · Oregon State University
This book on fluid mechanics is concerned with phenomena that we have all been familiar with since childhood: flows you see in sinks and bathtubs, in rivers, and at the beach. Prerequisites include basic linear algebra, differential and integral calculus and Newton’s laws of motion. As we go along we discover the need for the more advanced tools of tensor analysis.
