Recently, there have been a number of advances in technology, including in mobile devices, globalization of companies, display technologies and healthcare, which require significant input and evaluation from human factors specialists. This textbook has been completely updated, with some chapters folded into other chapters and new chapters added.

Discover the remarkable NASA spacecraft that have captured our imaginations for decades.

Today, chemical engineering students need a thorough understanding of momentum, heat, mass transfer, and separation processes. Transport Processes and Separation Process Principles, Fifth Edition offers a unified and up-to-date treatment of all these topics. Thoroughly updated to reflect the field's latest methods and software technologies, it covers both fundamental principles and practical applications.

At long last, here is the thoroughly revised and updated third edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. It is widely accepted as the best single authoritative book on electronic circuit design, and is in fact so popular that it has been counterfeited - so beware if purchasing from a third party via an online retailer, as you may receive a very inferior physical product. In addition to new or enhanced coverage of many topics, the third edition includes 90 oscilloscope screensho...

Food Microbiology by Adams and Moss has been a popular textbook since it was first published in 1995. Now in its fourth edition, Peter McClure joins the highly successful authorship in order to bring the book right up to date. Maintaining its general structure and philosophy to encompass modern food microbiology, this new edition provides updated and revised individual chapters and uses new examples to illustrate incidents with particular attention being paid to images.

Thorough and accessibl...

In The Art of NASA, ultra-rare artworks illustrate a unique history of NASA hardware and missions from 1958 to today, giving readers an unprecedented look at how spacecraft, equipment, and missions evolved—and how they might have evolved.

Exploring the structure and physical and chemical properties of solutions, dispersions, soft solids, fats, and cellular systems, Physical Chemistry of Foods describes the physiochemical principles of the reactions and conversions that occur during the manufacture, handling, and storage of foods. Coverage progresses from aspects of thermodynamics, bonds and interaction forces, and reaction kinetics, to transport phenomena, polymers, colloidal interactions, nucleation, glass transitions and fre...

This book offers a unique overview of wood as the main construction material for residential buildings worldwide, and introduces architects, interior designers, and builders to the diversity of contemporary timber architecture.

Dit boek behandelt het berekenen van de stabiliteit van staven in staalconstructies belast op druk, op buiging en op de combinatie van druk en buiging volgens Eurocode 3.

• Hoofdstuk 1 behandelt de theorie en achtergronden van de stabiliteit van een centrisch op druk belaste staaf met aandacht voor de Eulerse knikkracht, knikkromme en knikfactor. Vervolgens komen de instabiliteitsvormen (knik, torsie en torsieknik) aan de orde en wordt het begrip kniklengte besproken voor staven en raamwerken.

• Hoofdstuk 2 behandelt de theorie en achtergronden van de stabiliteit van een op buiging belaste staaf met aandacht voor de verschillende randvoorwaarden en belastingcondities. Daarna wordt het Eulerse kipmoment besproken en de theorie toegelicht met een aantal rekenvoorbeeld...
