Of crucial economic and societal importance, process industries transform matter by chemical, physical or biological means. They cover broad fields such as chemistry, oil, pharmacy, metallurgy and agri-food, to name a few. As a result of knowledge exchange between the academic and industrial worlds, Process Industries 1 decrypts the operations and technical management of these industries in order to formulate and manufacture products with use-value, in a sustainable way. Using concrete examples,...
This book traces the historical development of microscopy instruments from their invention to the current state of the art. New concepts and engineering solutions are presented for modern light microscopes, with a focus on the practical construction of optical systems. Real design parameters of dioptric objectives and other systems are provided to supply readers with basic information for independent designs. Full-color photomicrographs of real objects illustrate the quality of aberration correc...
The Principles of Scientific Management (Scientific Management)
by Frederick Winslow Taylor
This brief essay by the founder of scientific management has served for nearly a century as a primer for administrators and for students of managerial techniques. Although scientific management was developed primarily as a system for increasing productivity in industry, its principles have been applied to all kinds of large-scale enterprises, including operations with departments and agencies of the federal government. It is in this volume that Frederick Winslow Taylor gave the theory of scienti...
Characterization of Materials, 2 Volume Set
"Characterization of Materials" (formerly "Methods in Materials Research") provides comprehensive up-to-date coverage of materials characterization techniques, including computational and theoretical methods as well as crystallography, mechanical testing, thermal analysis, optical imaging and spectroscopy, and more. Editor-in-Chief, Elton Kaufmann, Ph.D. is Associate Director of the Strategic Planning Group at the Argonne National Laboratory and has published approximately 100 technical papers i...
Ultrasonic Techniques for Liquids and Complex Fluids Characterisation (IOP ebooks)
Research Report on Radiation Effects in Semiconductor Devices and Optical Fibres
by B.C. Roberts
Historic reconstructions have become a decisive tool in the history of science and technology over the last few decades. This book is based on a workshop held at national Museums Scotland and brings together key studies of 15 recent reconstruction projects, covering areas as diverse as physics, computing, horology, communication, transport and military. The reconstructions include Leonardo's Flight, the Babbage Calculating Machine, the Sea Stallion of Glenalough Viking Ship, Roman Dyeing and Ver...
Investigating the Earth System: A Laboratory Manual in Applied Physical Geology
by Steven T Loduca
Investigating the Earth System provides a modern approach to teaching undergraduate, introductory-level Earth Science and Physical Geology laboratories with the aim of creating science-savvy citizens capable and willing to make informed decisions about key environmental issues, including where to live. To achieve this end, the manual integrates three novel design elements while still covering traditional topics such as rock and mineral identification, surface and subsurface water resources, and...
Excel VBA for Physicists (Iop Concise Physics)
by Bernard V. Liengme
This book is both an introduction and a demonstration of how Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) can greatly enhance Microsoft Excel (R) by giving users the ability to create their own functions within a worksheet and to create subroutines to perform repetitive actions. The book is written so readers are encouraged to experiment with VBA programming with examples using fairly simple physics or non-complicated mathematics such as root finding and numerical integration. Tested Excel (R) workbooks...
Laboratory and Field Testing of Water and Wastewater (Ellis Horwood Series in Water and Wastewater Technology)
by L.G. Hutton
Instrumente in Kunst und Wissenschaft
This volume presents a collection of original papers at the intersection of philosophy, the history of science, cultural and theatrical studies. Based on a series of case studies on the 17th century, it contributes to an understanding of the role played by instruments at the interface of science and art. The papers pursue the hypothesis that the development and construction of instruments make a substantive contribution to the opening up of new fields of knowledge, to the development of new cult...
Characterization of Immobilized Biocatalysts
This monograph aims at providing a better basis for comparing biocatalysts and their properties, for evaluating them for application, and for further research work dealing with general limitations and application problems in heterogeneous biocatalysis. The authors define characteristic parameters that should give an almost complete and comparable information on immobilized enzyme or cell systems.
