Learning Bio-Micro-Nanotechnology is a primer on micro/nanotechnology that teaches the vocabulary, fundamental concepts, and applications of micro/nanotechnology in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, electronics, computers, biomedicine, microscopy, ethics, and risks to humankind. It provides an introduction into the small world with a low fog index, emphasizing the concepts using analogies and illustrations to simplify the non-observables. The chapters have many "thinking exercises" an...

How are todays hearts and minds programs linked to a late-19th century definition of human factors as peoples moral and mental deficits? What do Heinrichs unsafe acts from the 1930s have in common with the Swiss cheese model of the early 1990s? Why was the reinvention of human factors in the 1940s such an important event in the development of safety thinking? What makes many of our current systems so complex and impervious to Tayloristic safety interventions? Foundations of Safety Science cov...

Sustainable development, the circular economy and environmental issues are at the forefront of public and Government concern. The field of green chemistry aims to provide environmentally benign products from sustainable resources, using processes that do not harm people or the environment at the same time as helping solve key societal problems such as climate change. Updated throughout, this third edition features an expanded section on legislation, a revised chapter on measurement, and a com...

This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date account of the theory (physical principles), design, and practical implementations of various sensors for scientific, industrial, and consumer applications. This latest edition focuses on the sensing technologies driven by the expanding use of sensors in mobile devices. These new miniature sensors will be described, with an emphasis on smart sensors which have embedded processing systems.

The chapter on chemical sensors has also been expanded ...

Covering the various aspects of this fast-evolving field, this comprehensive book includes the fundamentals and a comparison of current applications, while focusing on the latest, novel achievements and future directions. The introductory chapters explore the thermodynamic and electrochemical processes to better understand how electrolysis cells work, and how these can be combined to build large electrolysis modules. The book then goes on to discuss the electrolysis process and the characteri...

Bij het ontwerpen van gebouwen heeft men voortdurend te maken met maten die zijn afgeleid van de afmetingen van het menselijk lichaam. Wij vinden deze menselijke maten of veelvouden hiervan terug in de afmetingen van onderdelen van gebouwen, zoals trappen, deuren, keukens en voorwerpen die zijn bestemd voor het gebruik door mensen.Om te voorkomen dat iedere ontwerper opnieuw deze maten zelf moeten opmeten is dit boekje. 'De menselijke maat', samengesteld. In deze uitgave worden niet alleen de...

'Staalprofielen' bevat de technische gegevens, weerstanden en brandwerendheid volgens Eurocode 3 van de meest gangbare profielen voor constructies in de staalbouw: balkstaal, geïntegreerde liggers, stafstaal, stripstaal en buis. Koudgevormde profielen zijn niet opgenomen, omdat de afmetingen van deze profielen te sterk afhangen van de fabrikant.

De tabellen bij de profielen geven informatie over:

* geometrie (zoals gewicht, afmetingen en verfoppervlak);

* doorsnedegrootheden (zoals traagheidsmo...
