Clarifying types of corrosion and susceptible materials, defining metallurgical and related terminology, and outlining means to prevent and curb corrosion, the Encyclopedia of Corrosion Technology, Second Edition is an up-to-date, innovative presentation of all aspects of corrosion-arranging over 400 topics into 25 alphabetical entries for easy navigation. More explanatory than a data book and more user-friendly than a textbook, the Encyclopedia extends coverage into areas of application and factors impacting corrosion protection while furnishing some 300 tables to enhance its written entries. |

Have you ever flown in an airplane through cloud? Beneath you the ground falls away as your plane climbs. Then, as you enter the base of the cloud, fragments of cloud begin to cover the ground, which disappears from view a few patches at a time until you lose sight of it altogether. Through the window you can see the wings and engines of the plane quite clearly, but beyond the wingtips there is simply a pale gray nothing. You are looking at the inside of the cloud, and if the cloud were on the ground and you were standing in it you would call it fog. Fog is nothing more than a cloud that touches the ground. Both are made from tiny droplets of water. These are so small you can breathe perfectly easily in the fog, inhaling the droplets and then breathing them out again. They are colorless, odorless, tasteless, and completely harmless. You are unaware of breathing them, but you know the air is full of water because it quickly wets your clothes and hair. In addition, of course, it obscures your view. If you are in the open countryside where there is no road or path to guide you, a fog can soon disorient you by hiding all the landmarks. It is easy to lose your way. |

Vibration: Fundamentals and Practice provides the background and techniques that allow successful design, analysis, and modification of vibration in mechanical systems. It focuses on the practical aspects of vibration-the applications and design considerations directly related to modifying vibrational behavior in mechanical devices and structures. The author presents a uniform and coherent treatment of the subject, integrating material on instrumentation, experimentation, design, and control and offering numerous case studies and worked examples. Introduces practical applications and experimental techniques in the very beginning, then uniformly integrates them throughout the book o Provides mathematics and dynamics background in appendices Includes many worked examples and case studies o Describes the industry-standard and state-of-the-art software tools for analysis and design of vibratory systems and illustrates them with examples o Offers analogies to other oscillatory systems, such as electrical and fluid systems, and contrasts these with thermal systems |

Few people ever bother to read the preface of a textbook, much less the preface of a book on the subject of pain management. This completely revised Seventh Edition is the most comprehensive rewrite of Pain Management: A Practical Guide for Clinicians. Unlike the previous six editions, every attempt has been made to offer evidence-based, clinically relevant information. This book is intended for pain practitioners and busy practitioners from other disciplines trying to provide relief for those suffering with pain. Uniquely, the book unfolds the “story” of pain and its management just as those suffering present themselves to clinicians for help. Major perspectives and challenges are initially identified, leading to an appreciation of the various disciplines providing care. Common pain problems and diagnostic methods used in pain management next give “flesh” to the skeletal story. Treatment options unfold from least invasive to most invasive as we explore behavioral approaches, pharmacotherapy, procedural techniques and the integrative options. The needs of special populations, along with the legal aspects of care, belief systems and spiritual matters, and practice issues finally complete the book. |

The need for this book arose from my teaching, engineering, and research experience in the non-power aspects of nuclear technology. The lack of a comprehensive textbook in industrial applications of radiation frustrated my students, who had to resort to a multitude of textbooks and research publications to familiarize themselves with the fundamental and practical aspects of radiation technology. As an engineer, I had to acquire the design aspects of radiation devices by trial-and-error, and often by accidental reading of a precious publication. As a researcher and a supervisor of graduate students, I found that the needed literature was either hard to find, or too scattered and diverse. More than once, I discovered that what appeared to be an exciting new idea was an old concept that was tried a few decades earlier during the golden era of “Atom for Peace”. I am hoping, therefore, that this book will serve as a single comprehensive reference source in a growing field that I expect will continue to expand. |

Hyundai Tucson назван в честь североамериканского города в штате Аризона. На языке коренных жителей, индейцев племени пима, слово «tucson» означает «весна у подножия черной горы». Этот представитель класса SUV наилучшим образом сочетает в себе характеристики для ежедневной эксплуатации с солидными внедорожными качествами. Он обладает спортивной внешностью и запасом мощности для активного вождения. Стремительный и приятный глазу облик придают автомобилю решительные мужские черты, которые покупатели традиционно хотят видеть во внедорожнике. Главные его достоинства - это многофункциональность и практичность. Вид спереди получился весьма внушительным. У Tucson относительно большая решетка радиатора впереди, а также передние фары, которые гармонируют с линиями капота и краями крыльев. Передний бампер - это большой крупный молдинг, который начинается сразу же от решетки радиатора вниз, на нем находятся три больших воздухозаборника и две противотуманные фары (на моделях, где они есть), а затем из него формируется спойлер. Внешность Tucson заметно оживляют легкосплавные диски, рейлинги на крыше и защитные пластиковые накладки на кузов и бампера. Особый спортивный шик придают сдвоенные патрубки выхлопной системы. |

What form should one use to enhance to the utmost the brilliance, harmony and depth of sound from a symphony orchestra? Is there perhaps an ideal form on acoustics grounds for a drama theatre for Shakespeare’s plays? Such questions must have inspired many of the more original solutions to the auditorium problem. A particularly appealing approach for instance, especially for those sensitive to the charms of classical architecture, is that certain ratios of proportion are propitious. The argument runs that since our ears appreciate harmony and harmony is based on simple proportions, so buildings to support harmony should likewise be built with favourable ratios of proportion. Sadly this charming argument is fallacious since the actual dimensions are also relevant. This means that a concert hall with preferred proportions would only be suitable for one musical key, a concert hall in C perhaps? However there is the further point that the dimensions of auditoria are in any case too large for such considerations to be significant; we can fortunately design halls for all keys. |

A sincere effort has been made for this textbook to contain up-to-date, accepted guidelines for diagnosing and treating ear problems. However, medical knowledge is ever changing, and treatment choices may also vary fromgeographic region to region. Astute practitioners should be aware of even the most recent changes in medical information. Furthermore, the medical professional should exercise great care in performing any procedure or prescribing any medication. For example, seemingly straightforward ear cleaning may bring about unexpected complications. Regarding the prescription of drugs and their dosages, one should refer to the manufacturer’s leaflet accompanying the product and be aware of the patient’s known drug intolerances and allergies. |
