Dr. Snodgrass is one of the most highly respected entomologists in the country, and this work carries all the authority of its author's prestige. The book describes not only the adult structure of the bee, but also the embryonic development of the organ systems, the anatomy of the larva, and the pupal metamorphosis. Physiology is in general omitted, but special attention is given to the mechanisms of feeding, Hight, and egg laying. Notes on behavior are included whenever necessary to explain str...

From conventional welding techniques to electron or laser beam, this book provides a comprehensive overview about processes, metallurgy, quality assessment, testing, and numerical simulation in welded structures.

Presented here are the fundamental aspects of fusion welding including heat and fluid flow during the welding process, the physical chemistry of reactions, the solidification process in the weld fusion zone and transformations of the heat-affected zone. Basic principles of fusion welding rather than a collection of case studies about a variety of materials and conditions are stressed in addition to an emphasis on physical principles rather than empiricism. The techniques and results of research...

Featuring updated charts dealing with the most common situations welding workers face on the job , this comprehensive, pocket-sized reference is based on recommendations from working professionals and covers welding symbols and definitions, types of joints and welds, typical welding station configurations, oxygen cylinders, arc-welding charts, U.S metric measures, and more.
