"Revival" van het in 1989 door de Nederlandse Vacuümvereniging NEVAC uitgegeven boek 'Vacuümtechniek', in eerste instantie bedoeld om technici op MBO-niveau op te leiden voor het ontwikkelen van vacuümsystemen, het toepassen van technieken in vacuüm en het oplossen van problemen met vacuümapparatuur. Een boek met alle noodzakelijke informatie voor vacuümtechnici, maar zonder de door het middenkader als "ballast" ervaren verdiepingsstof, die het eveneens in een nieuwe editie verschenen '...

Geoengineering en Transhumanisme is het derde boek van Elana Freeland

en completeert het volledige beeld van waarvoor geoengineering vanaf het allereerste

begin, nu zo'n 30 jaar geleden, is bedoeld, namelijk het beheersen van de ionosfeer met

gepulseerde straling om zo een geïoniseerde atmosfeer te handhaven waarin

chemische stoffen en nanotechnologie voortdurend kunnen worden uitgestrooid door

straalvliegtuigen, drones en raketten met als excuus 'de strijd tegen

klimaatverandering'.

Askeland/Wright/Wheatley's THE SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING OF MATERIALS, 8th Edition, aids engineering students in understanding the relationship between the structure, processing and properties of materials. With a wealth of material, instructors can tailor their focus to emphasize specific areas such as materials, mechanical behavior or physical properties. The text serves as a comprehensive reference for future courses in manufacturing, design or materials selection. New chapters on biomateria...

For junior or senior undergraduate students in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. This text covers the basics of emerging areas in power electronics and a broad range of topics such as power switching devices, conversion methods, analysis and techniques, and applications. Its unique approach covers the characteristics of semiconductor devices first, then discusses the applications of these devices for power conversions.

Four main applications are included: flexible ac transmissions (FACTs...

For second and third year introductory communication systems courses for undergraduates, or an introductory graduate course. This revision of Couch’s authoritative text provides the latest treatment of digital communication systems. The author balances coverage of both digital and analog communication systems, with an emphasis on design.

Students will gain a working knowledge of both classical mathematical and personal computer methods to analyze, design, and simulate modern communication s...

Ship Construction, Seventh Edition, offers guidance for ship design and shipbuilding from start to finish. It provides an overview of current shipyard techniques, safety in shipyard practice, materials and strengths, welding and cutting, and ship structure, along with computer-aided design and manufacture, international regulations for ship types, new materials, and fabrication technologies.

Advances in systems technology continue to ally systems and avionics, with aircraft support and flight systems ever increasingly controlled and monitored by electronics.

Practically all modern control systems are based upon microprocessors and complex microcontrollers that yield high performance and functionality. This volume focuses on the design of computer-controlled systems, featuring computational tools that can be applied directly and are explained with simple paper-and-pencil calculations. The use of computational tools is balanced by a strong emphasis on control system principles and ideas. Extensive pedagogical aids include worked examples, MATLAB ma...

Environmental issues are of fundamental importance, and a broad approach to understanding the relationship between the human economy and the natural world is essential. In a rapidly changing policy and scientific context, this new edition of Environmental and Natural Resource Economics reflects an updated perspective on modern environmental topics.

Now in its fifth edition, this textbook includes enhanced and updated material on energy, climate change, greening the economy, population, agricu...
