  • Engineering Metallurgy Applied Physical Metallurgy

    Applied Physical Metallurgy
    • 6th Edition
    • January 21, 1993
    • Malcolm Higgins
    • English
    An ideal introduction to physical metallurgy, this popular and well-established text offers far more specific information on alloys and steels that comparable general materials books. Placing emphasis very much on applied metallurgy, the author employs a simple, direct style, together with helpful diagrams, to relate theory to commercial alloys and real applications.

  • Private Security Law

    Case Studies
    • 1st Edition
    • November 9, 1992
    • David Maxwell
    • English
    Private Security Law: Case Studies is uniquely designed for the special needs of private security practitioners, students, and instructors. Part One of the book encompasses negligence, intentional torts, agency contracts, alarms, and damages. Part Two covers authority of the private citizen, deprivation of rights, and entrapment.The factual cases presented in this book touch on the everyday duties of persons associated with the private security industry. Private Security Law: Case Studies provides a basic orientation to problems capable of inciting litigation. The information presented through case laws comes from cases chosen for their factual, realistic, and practical connection to the private security industry. This focused approach addresses specific problem areas of the industry and provides information necessary to a security manager to avert future loss.

  • Radar and Arpa Manual

    • 1st Edition
    • July 20, 1992
    • Alan G. Bole + 2 more
    • English
    Radar and ARPA Manual has been planned not only as a comprehensive practical reference for mariners on board ship and managers ashore, but also to provide all essential information for candidates following ENS, radar observer and professional certificate courses.Recent years have seen significant changes in the design of basic radar systems: ARPA features are now almost entirely integrated with the radar display. This new manual covers the complete radar/ARPA installation, bringing together a body of practical information on equipment and techniques which will both serve the observer using traditional systems and provide reliable guidance for the use of newer equipment.The recent changes in radar displays that are likely to be of greatest significance to the observer are the developments in signal processing and the advent of raster-scan displays; these receive exhaustive treatment. The effects of changes in shipboard operations, such as false echoes from containers, are also dealt with.Throughout the book the operational significance of the IMO Performance Standards is stressed, as is the role of radar and ARPA in navigation and collision avoidance.

  • Introduction to Colloid and Surface Chemistry

    • 4th Edition
    • February 24, 1992
    • Duncan J. Shaw
    • English
    This thoroughly updated edition continues to provide a concise overall coverage of colloid and surface chemistry, intermediate between the brief accounts in physical chemistry textbooks and the comprehensive coverage in specialized treatises.New information is included on the composition and structure of solid surfaces, dynamic light scattering, micro emulsions and colloid stability control. The book provides a sound, but easy to follow theoretical framework. It outlines relevant research techniques and considers technological applications. A basic knowledge of the principles of physical chemistry is assumed. It will appeal to a wide readership, both undergraduate and postgraduate students at universities and colleges of technology as well as scientists in industry who need a broad background in the subject.

  • System Modelling and Control

    • 3rd Edition
    • January 16, 1992
    • J. Schwarzenbach + 1 more
    • English
    Providing a sound introduction to control engineering, this book features clear explanations and illustrations of the dynamic behaviour of systems and the main methods of analysis.This edition has been expanded to reflect advances in computer technology and includes many practical examples.

  • Diesel Engines

    • 3rd Edition
    • September 23, 1991
    • A J WHARTON
    • English
    This book covers diesel engine theory, technology, operation and maintenance for candidates for the Department of Transport's Certificates of Competency in Marine Engineering, Class One and Class Two. The book has been updated throughout to include new engine types and operating systems that are currently in active development or recently introduced.

  • Rings, Fields and Groups

    • 2nd Edition
    • August 15, 1991
    • Reg Allenby
    • English
    'Rings, Fields and Groups' gives a stimulating and unusual introduction to the results, methods and ideas now commonly studied on abstract algebra courses at undergraduate level. The author provides a mixture of informal and formal material which help to stimulate the enthusiasm of the student, whilst still providing the essential theoretical concepts necessary for serious study.Retaining the highly readable style of its predecessor, this second edition has also been thoroughly revised to include a new chapter on Galois theory plus hints and solutions to many of the 800 exercises featured.

  • Confidential Information Sources

    Public and Private
    • 2nd Edition
    • July 31, 1991
    • John M. Carroll
    • English
    This edition includes the effects of massive computerization on the collection, storage, and reporting of personal data. For investigations and back-ground checks of any type, this outstanding volume tells how to hire reliable employees, sell to solvent customers, and purchase from reliable vendors. Carroll also examines troubling issues of ethics, accuracy, and privacy in our age of electronic information transfer.
