Computer Organization and Design: The Hardware/Software Interface, Sixth Edition, the leading, award-winning textbook from Patterson and Hennessy used by more than 40,000 students per year, continues to present the most comprehensive and readable introduction to this core computer science topic. Improvements to this new release include new sections in each chapter on Domain Specific Architectures (DSA) and updates on all real-world examples that keep it fresh and relevant for a new generation...

Helps engineers instill knowledge on a daily basis, to do their jobs and to maintain and assure reliable equipment to help reduce costs. This book includes graphs, charts, calculations, tables, curves, and explanations, and basic rules of thumb that engineers working with equipment will need for basic maintenance and reliability of that equipment.

For first-year undergraduate modules in Engineering Mathematics. Develop understanding and maths skills within an engineering contextModern Engineering Mathematics, 6th Edition by Professors Glyn James and Phil Dyke, draws on the teaching experience and knowledge of three co-authors, Matthew Craven, John Searl and Yinghui Wei, to provide a comprehensive course textbook explaining the mathematics required for studying first-year engineering. No matter which field of engineering you will go on ...

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...

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...

Autofabrikanten doen veel om de motor trillingsvrij en dus geluidsarm te laten draaien. Hiertoe worden o.a. balansassen gemonteerd. In deze uitgave worden de oorzaken van trillingen in motoren en het elimineren ervan behandeld.

'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...

This dictionary includes over 550 new entries on all aspects of mechanical engineering, in the core areas of design, stress analysis, dynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, together with newly extended coverage of materials engineering. It is an invaluable guide for students, and for professionals in the field.
