Principles of Engineering Manufacture
3rd Edition
V. Chiles + 3 more
English
The third edition of this text, formerly known as Principles of Engineering Production, has been thoroughly revised and updated and continues to provide students with a comprehensive overview of the technical considerations for the entire manufacturing process. In keeping with the developments in manufacturing technology, this new edition reflects the major advances in recent years, in particular, looking at the transition to computer controlled machinery and the developments in computer applications.Beginni... with specification and standardisation, it analyses the key aspects of the manufacturing process and pays particular attention to the crucial considerations of quality and cost. In addition, the coverage of materials has been extended to account for the increased availability and complexity of non-metals. The addition of a number of case studies, new worked examples and problems, make this text an invaluable introduction to engineering manufacture. It is also a useful and straightforward reference text for the professional engineer.
Guidelines for Management of Acute Head Injury
1st Edition
David Hardy + 2 more
English
The aim of this booklet is to bridge the gap between rescue of a patient with an acute head injury and his or her treatment by a neurosurgeon. It provides a protocol for management of acute head injuries aimed at paramedics, all accident and emergency department staff, orthopaedic and general surgeons, casualty consultants, armed forces medics.
Introduction to Electromagnetism
1st Edition
M. Sibley
English
Electromagnetics is one of the fundamental disciplines of electronic engineering. The author explains the development of field theory in relation to common electrical circuits and components, as opposed to just circuit theory, thus giving the reader a broader perspective of electrical circuits.Essentially in two parts, this book will help students to gain an appreciation of the physical effects of electrical and magnetic fields. The first part covers the basic theory of electrostatics, electromagnetism and electroconductive fields and applies the theory to different transmission lines. It culminates in a comparison of the basic relationships that lie behind all the field systems covered. The second part covers the physical effects of dielectrics and ferrous materials on capacitors and coils. It is truly introductory with very little prior knowledge assumed. The mathematical techniques required to manipulate the theory are introduced from basics and there are numerous worked examples and problems. Self-assessment questions are given at the end of each chapter to allow the student to check their understanding of material before moving onto further chapters. This is an accessible and self-contained introduction to a topic that all physical scientists and engineers must get to grips with before developing their knowledge further.
Ordinary Differential Equations
1st Edition
William Cox
English
Building on introductory calculus courses, this text provides a sound foundation in the underlying principles of ordinary differential equations. Important concepts, including uniqueness and existence theorems, are worked through in detail and the student is encouraged to develop much of the routine material themselves, thus helping to ensure a solid understanding of the fundamentals required.The wide use of exercises, problems and self-assessment questions helps to promote a deeper understanding of the material and it is developed in such a way that it lays the groundwork for further study of partial differential equations.
Structural and Stress Analysis
1st Edition
T.H.G. Megson
English
Structural analysis is the corner stone of civil engineering and all students must obtain a thorough understanding of the techniques available to analyse and predict stress in any structure. This text provides the student with a comprehensive introduction to all types of structural and stress analysis. Starting from an explanation of the basic principles of statics, normal and shear force and bending moments and torsion. It goes on to examine the different structures in which consideration of these is paramount, from simple pin joints to suspension cables. The properties of materials are outlined and all aspects of beam theory are examined in full. Finally the author discusses the key area of instability in structures.Virtually no prior knowledge of structures is assumed and students requiring an accessible and comprehensive insight into stress analysis will find no better book available.
Stock & Station Agents' Handbook
1st Edition
Alan Squires + 1 more
English
This accessible and authoritive text has been written for students undertaking programs of study in stock and station agency practice, and for practising stock and station agents who will find this an invaluable reference work. Care has been taken toensure that the information contained within this book is not only accurate, but follows the syllabus provided for in the national core curriculum for rural agent/stock and station agent courses conducted throughout the country, but with some emphasis onmatters peculiar to New South Wales.
Working Dogs
Training for Sheep and Cattle
1st Edition
Colin Seis
English
* History of working dogs * Standards for a good dog * Selecting, training and basic obedience for a pup * Introduction to stock * Working with sheep and cattle * Behavioural problems and caring for your dog. This book is written with profound knowledge and long experience in training working dogs. Colin Seis has been breeding Kelpies at his Winona Stud for many years. His dogs are sought after all over Australia and for some years now Colin has been breeding and training working Kelpies in California where their ability and intelligence is rapidly being realised for work with cattle.
Risk Management
1st Edition
Mike Krause
English
Any farming operation is also a business, and because of the nature of agricultural production, that business and its operators are susceptible to risk. Production can be affected by weather and drought, income can be affected by market prices andshifts, government can impinge and farmers can be injured; they all affect the farm business. Areas covered in this book include: * The farm business structure * Weather and drought * Long and short term market fluctuations * Assets and borrowing *Government intervention and exchange rates * Risks to farm operators * Information reliability. Finally the agricultural manager is assisted to analyse their own operation, to plan how best to meet the problems of the farm business. Mike Krause hasover 14 years experience as a professional rural economist and has worked extensively with farmers and fruit growers, helping to identify techniques that will help improve farmer profits. Mike has recently joined an international company calledAgricultural Risk Management Pty. Ltd (ARM). This company specialises in risk analysis and risk management providing the full spectrum of services in risk identification, risk measurement, and insurance based revenue protection risk management inagriculture.
Pasture Management
1st Edition
Rick Bickford
English
* Pasture grasses and legumes; their species, varieties and their roles as fodder and in the soil, including the bacterial innoculatin of legumes. * Weeds and pest species; their lifecycles and effect on pastures, plus what to use to control or resist their impact. * Tillage and sowing techniques * Soil testing and fertiliser requirements Fodder conservation is also covered with much valuable advice on: * Fodder species * Mowing times * Conservation techniques and machinery * Storage measures.
