Welding of Tubular Structures focuses on the testing, techniques, and other processes connected with welding tubular structures in different conditions and environments.
This book will present an unconventional and largely unknown technology, which is able to micro-machine at relatively low cost glass, polymers and other materials.
Completely revised and updated, this fifth edition of a bestseller helps building managers identify what to look for and how to evaluate before making a decision about which guarantee is better for their building and which ESCO can best deliver energy savings.
Sensors and measurement systems is an introduction to microsensors for engineering students in the final undergraduate or early graduate level, technicians who wants to know more about the systems they are using, and anybody curious enough to know what microsystems and microsensors can do.
Interwoven within our semiconductor technology development had been the development of technologies aimed at identifying, evaluating and mitigating the environmental, health and safety (EH&S) risks and exposures associated with the manufacturing and packaging of integrated circuits.
Advance Praise for Gravity's Arc"e;A beautifully written exposition of the still mysterious force that holds our universe together--and the even more mysterious dark twin that may blow it apart.
Avant d'être un concept, la Terre fut une donnée : d'abord, la Terre nourricière – autrement dit, la « terre végétale » –, puis, la Terre où l'homme vit, par opposition à la mer, c'est-à-dire les terres émergées.
The Propagation of Gamma Quanta in Matter deals with various problems of the propagation and absorption of gamma quanta in matter, particularly the occurrence of multiple scattering of radiation.
L'observation à l'œil nu d'un ciel constellé d'étoiles montre que celles-ci ne sont pas réparties au hasard: elles tendent à se regrouper en une longue écharpe laiteuse qui parcourt la voûte céleste d'un bord à l'autre de l'horizon, et que nos ancêtres ont appelée la Voie lactée.
After spending over 12 years developing new microsystems for biotechnology u especially concerned with the microfluidic aspects of these devices u Jean Berthier is considered a leading authority in the field.
