Building on the experiences of scores of companies and hundreds of managers, J.M. Juran, the world-renowned quality pioneer, presents a new, exhaustively comprehensive approach to planning, setting, and reaching quality goals. Employing three case examples which encompass the three major sectors of the economy -- service, manufacturing, and support, he offers a practical plan for companies to a…
This Second Edition for the standard graduate level course in conduction heat transfer has been updated and oriented more to engineering applications partnered with real-world examples. New features include: numerous grid generation—for finding solutions by the finite element method—and recently developed inverse heat conduction. Every chapter and reference has been updated and new exercise…
Developed to provide safety and health students with an understanding of the how-tos of implementing an occupational safety and health initiative, the first edition of Occupational Health and Safety Management soon became a blueprint for occupational safety and health management for the smallest- to the largest-sized companies. Competently following in these oversized footsteps, the updated and…
As Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Heat Transfer (CHT) evolve and become increasingly important in standard engineering design and analysis practice, users require a solid understanding of mechanics and numerical methods to make optimal use of available software. The Finite Element Method in Heat Transfer and Fluid Dynamics, Third Edition illustrates what a user must know t…
This comprehensive textbook integrates scientific and engineering principles with legislation, regulation, technology, and business. In addition, in-depth coverage of hazard characterization, assessment, prevention, and control are also provided. With the principal safety and health hazards identified, this text satisfies the new ABET requirements for safety, health, and environmental training.
Engineers not only need to understand the basics of how fluid power components work, but they must also be able to design these components into systems and analyze or model fluid power systems and circuits. There has long been a need for a comprehensive text on fluid power systems, written from an engineering perspective, which is suitable for an undergraduate-level course in fluid power. Fl…

This text provides hands-on experiments in nuclear radiations and discusses their interactions with matter, detection and measurement, and applications in the physical and life sciences.
This book “Handbook of Training Evaluation and Measurement Methods, Third Edition” each chapter has been revised and updated to include additional research, expanded coverage, and new examples of my case studies. In addtion, seven new chapters have been added. More specifically, the following changes have been made. (Jml)
Disaster recovery is often unplanned for in the emergency management life cycle. Yet recovery is the key stage where funds, programs, professional expertise, and volunteer efforts are applied to affected cities, states, and regions to get them up and running again. Providing a unique perspective on a highly focused area, Disaster Recovery is the first core text that tackles the myriad recovery …
