This book illustrates how this new branch of thought became increasingly popular as the practical and theoretical knowledge of alchemists spread throughout England. Adopted by those in court and the circles of nobility for their own physical and spiritual needs, it was adapted for the diagnosis and therapeutic treatment of the illnesses of the body politic and its hea 606 $aAlchemy$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMedicine$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aMedicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric$zEngland 606 $2Magic, alchemy & hermetic thought 615 0$aAlchemy$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine$xHistory 615 0$aMedicine, Magic, mystic, and spagiric 676 $a540.112094209023 700 $aHughes$b Jonathan$f1952-$0549296 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789932303321 996 $aThe rise of alchemy in fourteenth-century England$93860041 997 $aUNINA LEADER 13068oam 22005773 450 001 9910964004203321 005 20251116135222.0 010 $a9781119028062$b(electronic bk.) 010 $z9781119027904 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4391537 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4391537 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11235852 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL895587 035 $a(OCoLC)926050644 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7104359 035 $a(CKB)17690424400041 035 $a(BIP)51750027 035 $a(BIP)51557949 035 $a(EXLCZ)9917690424400041 100 $a20220831d2016 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Engineering Design of Systems $eModels and Methods 205 $a3rd ed. 210 1$aNew York :$cJohn Wiley & Sons, Incorporated,$d2016. 210 4$d©2016. 215 $a1 online resource (583 pages) 225 1 $aWiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management Ser. 311 08$aPrint version: Buede, Dennis M.

on: Complete Exercise of the SE Process, System Science and Analytics and The Value of Systems Engineering The book takes a model-based approach to key systems engineering design activities and introduces methods and models used in the real world. This book is divided into three major parts: (1) Introduction, Overview and Basic Knowledge, (2) Design and Integration Topics, (3) Supplemental Topics. The first part provides an introduction to the issues associated with the engineering of a system. The second part covers the critical material required to understand the major elements needed in the engineering design of any system: requirements, architectures (functional, physical, and allocated), interfaces, and qualification. The final part reviews methods for data, process, and behavior modeling, decision analysis, system science and analytics, and the value of systems engineering. Chapter 1 has been rewritten to integrate the new chapters and updates were made throughout the original chapters. Provides an overview of modeling, modeling methods associated with SysML, and IDEF0 Includes a new Chapter 12 that provides a comprehensive review of the topics discussed in Chapters 6 through 11 via a simple system - an automated soda machine Features a new Chapter 15 that reviews General System Theory, systems science, natural systems, cybernetics, systems thinking, quantitative characterization of systems, system dynamics, constraint theory, and Fermi problems and guesstimation Includes a new Chapter 16 on the value of systems engineering with five primary value propositions: systems as a goal-seeking system, systems engineering as a communications interface, systems engineering to avert showstoppers, systems engineering to find and fix errors, and systems engineering as risk mitigation The Engineering Design of Systems: Models and Methods, Third Edition is designed to be an introductory reference for professionals as well as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in systems engineering. 410 0$aWiley Series in Systems Engineering and Management Ser. 606 $aSystems engineering 615 0$aSystems engineering. 676 $a620.001/171 700 $aBuede$b Dennis M$0981668 701 $aMiller$b William D$0174210 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910964004203321 996 $aThe Engineering Design of Systems$94472904 997 $aUNINA
