Providing hands-on knowledge, this book emphasizes the importance of using standards in multidisciplinary design and manufacturing of discrete products. This book describes concepts associated with product realization processes in modular form using numerous case studies to illustrate each example. Emphasizing change in approaches, it provides a background for engineering design and presents a survey of the standards-developing organization. The text reviews standards from product, manufacturing, and user perspectives. Standards include man/machine interaction, operation of equipment, human/computer interaction, ergonomics, core design, energy input, and product output.

Cada ser humano tiene su estrella. Una estrella puede ser un sueño que aún no sa ha cumplido y que vamos
posponiendo una y otra vez por múltiples razones: "si tengo tiempo, si me lo permiten los niños, si tengo dinero,..."
Barbara Berckhan nos enseña a superar nuestros miedos, a reunir el coraje suficiente y a pasar la página de nuestras
frustraciones.

¿Cómo reaccionas ante una burla? ¿Cómo contestas a un comentario insolente o una broma pesada? ¿Malgastas
tu energía enfadándote? ¿O das la callada por respuesta? Con esta guía aprenderás a controlar la situación y a saber
replicar. Barbara Berckhan nos descubre, a lo largo de su libro, doce estrategias para enfrentarse de forma inteligente
a estas situaciones.

Intrusos narra la història de Dia, filla d'un productor de seda innovador i emprenedor anomenat Riffat. Com la seva mare, Dia sembla algú ple d'energia i capacitats. Sembla una persona lliure. Però la llibertat també té límits, vigilats per la cobdícia i la gelosia.
Daanish acaba de tornar a Karachi, provinent dels Estats Units "un lloc farcit de lleis però també de restriccions", per assistir a l'enterrament del seu pare. Quan Dia i Daanish es troben, s'enfronten a totes les formalitats i, junts, trenquen la pau molt fràgil que els envolta.

This book demonstrates how environmental professionals, faculty, and students with minimal computer programming skills can develop computer-based mathematical models for a wide range of natural and engineered environmental systems. The author illustrates how a syntax-free authoring software can be adapted to create customized, high-level models of environmental phenomena in groundwater, soil, aquatic, and atmospheric systems, and in engineered reactors. Modeling Tools for Environmental Engineers and Scientists reviews material balance, reactor configurations, and fate and transport of environmental contaminants. Using examples, it illustrates how to apply modeling software to analyzing and simulating many environmental situations.
