    From the Book - Preface:This manual has been compiled to provide time frames, labor crews and equipment spreads to assist the estimator in capsulizing an estimate for the installation of cross-country pipelines, marshland pipelines, nearshore and surf zone pipelines, submerged pipelines, wharfs, jetties, dock facilities, single-point morring terminals, offshore drilling and production platforms and equipment and appurtenances installed thereon. The time frames and labor and equipment spreads which appear throughout this manual are the result of many time and method studies conducted under varied conditions and at locations throughout the world; these time frames and labor and equipment spreads reflect a complete, unbiased view of all operations involved. When one is engaged in compiling an estimate from any information furnished by others, as is the case with this manual, he should view it in an objective light, giving due consideration to the nature of the project at hand and evaluating all items that may affect the productivity of labor and all other elements involved.

  • Casebook of Organizational Behavior

    • English
    Casebook of Organizational Behavior presents sample cases that outline the organizational behavior concepts and principles. The title is designed to supplement the contents of the textbook Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior. The text first details the guidelines for case analysis, and then proceeds to presenting the cases. The cases presented involve varying workplace scenario and concerns, such as motivation, stress, politics, leadership, and conflicts. The cases are also based upon true incidents in business, governmental, educational, community, and recreational organizations. The book will be of great use to professionals, particularly those who works on a diverse corporate culture.

    Coastal Vegetation, Second Edition presents a general account of the ecology of coastal vegetation in Britain and the North Atlantic. Coastal vegetation comprises the marine algal vegetation of the littoral and sublittoral; the phanerogamic and algal vegetation of salt and brackish marshes; the vegetation of sand dunes together with that of their "slacks"; the specialized vegetation associated with the drift-line; the vegetation of shingle beaches; the plants found on coastal cliffs; and mangrove (Florida). Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to the basic ecological principles, including the phenomenon of vegetation zonation, plant succession, and autecology. The discussion then turns to littoral vegetation, algal vegetation, and salt marshes, along with the salt marsh environment and the vegetation and environment of sand dunes. The book also considers mangrove swamps and shingle beaches before concluding with an overview of coastal cliff vegetation. This monograph will be of use to university students interested in the ecology of coastal vegetation.

  • Digital Picture Processing

    • English
    Digital Picture Processing is a technique-oriented book aiming to teach the more extensive treatments of digital pictures. The book discusses picture processing; the computer representation of pictures; and the mathematical preliminaries involved. The visual perception, the digitization and the different techniques on sampling, and different techniques on compression are also covered. The book also explains the enhancement techniques, such as sharpening and moothing; filtering techniques used in restoration; and the geometry and description of a picture. The text is recommended to students of electrical engineering and computer science, who intend to learn better techniques in picture processing through digital means. The book is also suitable as an advanced undergraduate or a graduate course in picture processing.

    This is the third edition of a book which has consistently fulfilled its aim of making a low-priced collection of tables available to the student and practicing engineer. In the second edition all parameters were made non-dimensional. This new edition now includes and additional table of Isentropic flow; it is hoped that this inclusion will significantly increase the range of application of the book's data.
