Manufacturing
Design, Science and Engineering of How Things are Made
2nd Edition
Erik Tempelman + 1 more
English
Manufacturing: Design, Science and Engineering of How Things are Made, Second Edition presents a fresh view on the world of industrial production, in terms of both abstraction levels and trade-offs. The book invites its readers to distinguish between what is possible in principle for a certain process (as determined by physical law); what is possible in practice (the production method as determined by industrial state-of-the-art); and what is possible for a certain supplier (as determined by its production equipment). Specific processes considered include metal forging, extrusion, and casting; plastic injection molding and thermoforming; additive manufacturing; joining; recycling, and more. By tackling the field of manufacturing processes from this new angle, the book makes the most out of a reader's limited time. It gives the knowledge needed to not only create well-producible designs, but also to understand supplier needs in order to find the optimal compromise. Apart from improving design for production, this publication raises the standards of thinking about producibility.

English
Principles of Fermentation Technology, Fourth Edition covers key components of the fermentation process, including growth kinetics, strain isolation and improvement, inoculum development, fermentation media, fermenter design, control and operation, sterilization, product recovery, and the environmental impact of processes. The book recognizes the increasing importance of animal cell culture, the continuing impact of the post-genomics era and CRISPR technology on applied science, and the huge contribution that heterologous protein production now makes in the success of the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, the importance of the vaccine sector is reflected in its increased coverage. It is ideally suited for both newcomers to the industry and established workers as it provides essential and fundamental information on fermentation in a methodical, logical fashion. The book's authors have integrated the engineering and biological aspects of fermentation to make the content accessible to members of both disciplines, with a focus on the practical application of theory. This book collates all fermentation fundamentals into one concise reference, making it an indispensable resource for fermentation scientists and anyone studying in the field.
School Security
How to Build and Strengthen a School Security Program
3rd Edition
Paul Timm
English
School Security: How to Build and Strengthen a School Safety Program, Third Edition emphasizes a proactive rather than reactive approach to school security. Through a holistic approach, rather than focusing on a particular threat or event, readers are introduced to basic loss prevention and safety concepts. The book covers fundamental CPTED concepts and addresses bullying, teen suicide, harassment, and dating violence. This updated new edition includes new information throughout on topics such as new legislative requirements, technological advancements such as AI, communications and access control, and even a parent’s guide to school safety.The book discusses how to positively influence student behavior, lead staff training programs, and write sound security policies. It presents complex security concepts in straightforward language that resonates with educational stakeholders who may not have security backgrounds. It recognizes the financial constraints facing most educational institutions and prioritizes cost-effective solutions. Tiered implementation strategies allow schools to enhance security incrementally within available resources. It also emphasizes integrating security measures into school culture, balancing robust security with maintaining an open, welcoming educational environment—a critical concern overlooked in more technically-oriented security literature.
Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students
5th Edition
Howard D. Curtis
English
Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students, Fifth Edition, is a key text for students of aerospace engineering. While this latest edition has been updated with new content and end-of-chapter problems, it retains its teach-by-example approach that emphasizes analytical procedures, computer-implemented algorithms, and the most comprehensive support package available, including fully worked solutions, PPT lecture slides, and animations of selected topics. Highly illustrated and fully supported with downloadable MATLAB algorithms for project and practical work, this book provides all the tools needed to fully understand the subject.
Complete Casting Handbook
Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design
3rd Edition
John Campbell
English
Complete Casting Handbook: Metal Casting Processes, Metallurgy, Techniques and Design, Third Edition provides modern principles and processes in both breadth and depth while also retaining a clear, practical focus. The book has a unique viewpoint, interpreting the behavior of castings and metals as a whole, in terms of their biofilm content, the largely invisible casting defects which control much of the structure and behavior of metals. This new edition has been thoroughly revised, with updated sections on extended fluidity, additive manufacturing of molds, porosity as an entrainment defect, tensile properties and other failure aspects, metrology and much more. The third edition has also been updated to include two brand new chapters, one focused on avoidance of fracture through good casting, and the other on sustainability in the casting industry.
Hospital and Healthcare Security
7th Edition
Tony W. York
English
Hospital and Healthcare Security, Seventh Edition reflects the current state of healthcare security, particularly in data security and privacy, patient-generated violence, new technologies, and regulatory changes. The book explains the basics and higher expertise concerns, such as the roles of design, emergency management, and policy. Conveying a wide spectrum of topics in an easy-to-comprehend format, it provides a thorough understanding of how the modern healthcare security program should be structured, resourced, and integrated around the principles of people, processes, and technology. This industry-leading resource includes best practices, security master planning, and how to layer in protection philosophies in policies and procedures. Due to rapid changes in violence in healthcare, regulatory requirements, litigation, accreditation standards, advancements in technology, and new healthcare security issues and topics, the new edition contains approximately 25-30% new and updated data and corresponding examples. It is deemed by healthcare executives, accrediting agencies, and industry associations to set the standard of care for healthcare security systems and programs.
Traffic Flow Theory
2nd Edition
Daiheng Ni
English
Creating traffic models is a complex task due to the intricacies of road networks, space–time dependencies, heterogeneous traffic patterns, and numerous interacting components. The second edition of Traffic Flow Theory builds on foundational knowledge to express these elements in mathematical form and offers updated coverage of the latest field developments.Authore... by a leading academic, the volume dissects everyday traffic phenomena, detailing their characteristics, mechanisms, and dynamics through multi-level modeling approaches (macroscopic, microscopic, mesoscopic, and picoscopic) to explain why these phenomena occur and how they can be effectively simulated. The book then explores the practical applications of these simulations and contributes new, research-informed evidence showing that integrating the various analytical frameworks leads to a unified perspective—with significant benefits for optimizing safety and efficiency in transportation systems.With its comprehensive, coherent, and self-contained treatment, Traffic Flow Theory 2E is set to become a staple reference for a broad transportation engineering audience and a valuable resource for readers in interconnected disciplines.
