This book contains the papers presented at the XXX International Congress INGEGRAF, ¿Digital Engineering, its application in Research, Development and Innovation¿, held on 24¿25 June 2021 in Valencia, Spain.The book reports on cutting-edge topics in product design and manufacturing, such as industrial methods for integrated product and process design; innovative design; and computer-aided design. Further topics covered include virtual simulation and reverse engineering; additive manufacturing; product manufacturing; engineering methods in medicine and education; representation techniques; and nautical, engineering and construction, aeronautics and aerospace design and modeling. The book has six sections, reflecting the focus and primary themes of the conference. The contributions presented here will not only provide researchers, engineers, and experts in a range of industrial engineering subfields with extensive information to support their daily work; but also they are intended to stimulate new research directions, advanced applications of the methods discussed, and future interdisciplinary collaborations.

This book provides a pedagogical introduction to the likely sources of these neutrinos, their propagation and detection mechanisms. Above a few tens of TeVs, neutrinos are conceived as more reliable messengers for astronomy than photons as these photons get absorbed in the background photon field.

Benchmarking is considered a must for modern management. The objects considered are taken from IT management, but can be easily transferred to other business areas, which makes the book interesting for all practitioners in the management field.

Secondly and thirdly, a novel collective mode (the chiral spin wave) and a novel composite particle (the chiral exciton) are discovered in the three dimensional topological insulator Bi2Se3.

This book introduces the origin of biomedical signals and the operating principles behind them and introduces the characteristics of common biomedical signals for subsequent signal measurement and judgment.

This book originates from the idea to adapt biomedical engineering and medical informatics to current clinical needs and proposes a paradigm shift in medical engineering, where the limitations of technology should no longer be the starting point of design, but rather the development of biomedical devices, software, and systems should stem from clinical needs and wishes. Gathering chapters written by authoritative researchers, working the interface between medicine and engineering, this book presents successful attempts of conceiving technology based on clinical practice. It reports on new strategies for medical diagnosis, rehabilitation, and eHealth, focusing on solutions to foster better quality of life through technology, with an emphasis on patients¿ and clinical needs, and vulnerable populations. All in all, the book offers a reference guide and a source of inspiration for biomedical engineers, clinical scientists, physicians, and computer scientists. Yet, it also includes practical information for personnel using biomedical equipment, as well as timely insights that are expected to help health agencies and software firms in their decision-making processes.

Tools such as value of information and value of flexibility are explored as a means to make more complex and nuanced decisions.The book develops the complete formalism for assessing the value of acquiring information with two novel approaches.

This book provides a thorough overview of all techniques for producing self-healing construction materials. Self-healing materials form a new class of materials that have inbuilt engineered properties to counteract damage and repair it before it becomes critical.

In a digitized world, organizations and individuals have to deal with several challenges. Both public and private organizations must revise their processes and create new ones to take advantage of new opportunities and respond to emerging threats.

This book clarifies that relationship focussing on one form of regional integration - customs unions - and one form of trade measures - anti-dumping measures.
