1st Edition
Andrew J. Dubrin
English
Casebook of Organizational Behavior presents sample cases that outline the organizational behavior concepts and principles. The title is designed to supplement the contents of the textbook Fundamentals of Organizational Behavior. The text first details the guidelines for case analysis, and then proceeds to presenting the cases. The cases presented involve varying workplace scenario and concerns, such as motivation, stress, politics, leadership, and conflicts. The cases are also based upon true incidents in business, governmental, educational, community, and recreational organizations. The book will be of great use to professionals, particularly those who works on a diverse corporate culture.

Coastal Vegetation
Pergamon International Library of Science, Technology, Engineering and Social Studies
2nd Edition
V. J. Chapman
English
Coastal Vegetation, Second Edition presents a general account of the ecology of coastal vegetation in Britain and the North Atlantic. Coastal vegetation comprises the marine algal vegetation of the littoral and sublittoral; the phanerogamic and algal vegetation of salt and brackish marshes; the vegetation of sand dunes together with that of their "slacks"; the specialized vegetation associated with the drift-line; the vegetation of shingle beaches; the plants found on coastal cliffs; and mangrove (Florida). Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with an introduction to the basic ecological principles, including the phenomenon of vegetation zonation, plant succession, and autecology. The discussion then turns to littoral vegetation, algal vegetation, and salt marshes, along with the salt marsh environment and the vegetation and environment of sand dunes. The book also considers mangrove swamps and shingle beaches before concluding with an overview of coastal cliff vegetation. This monograph will be of use to university students interested in the ecology of coastal vegetation.
Mechanics of Underwater Noise
1st Edition
Donald Ross
English
Mechanics of Underwater Noise is an in-depth account of underwater noise and its mechanics, with emphasis on physical principles that underlie how noise is generated, transmitted by structures, and radiated into the sea. Topics covered range from sound waves in liquids to the fundamentals of acoustic radiation, as well as cavitation and structural vibrations. Comprised of 10 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the physics and mechanics of underwater noise, followed by a discussion on sound waves generated in liquids. The reader is then introduced to the fundamentals of acoustic radiation, paying particular attention to the general characteristics of noise sources, along with spherical and hydrodynamic sources. A general equation for sound generation is presented. Subsequent chapters deal with radiation by fluctuating-volume (monopole) and fluctuating-force (dipole) sources and by plate flexural vibrations; cavitation and propeller cavitation noise; and mechanical noise sources. This monograph is intended for workers involved in the field of underwater acoustics.
Principles and Applications of Tribology
International Series in Materials Science and Technology
1st Edition
Desmond F. Moore
D. W. Hopkins
English
International Series on Materials Science and Technology, Volume 14: Principles and Applications of Tribology focuses on the principles, methodologies, approaches, and applications of tribology. The publication first ponders on surface topography and friction of metals. Discussions focus on vacuum conditions, effects of sliding speed, hardening of metals, surface contaminants, metal transfer, elastic contact in metals, basic mechanism of friction, junction growth, photogrammetry, texture measurement, outflow meter, surface prints, and actual contact between surfaces. The text then elaborates on friction of elastomers and various materials and hydrodynamic and boundary lubrication. Topics include wettability and contact angle, adsorption of lubricants, molecular structure of boundary lubricants, boundary lubrication of metals, velocity distribution, hydrostatic lubrication, friction and wear of diamond, and viscoelasticity. The manuscript also examines bearing design, transportation and locomotion, and automotive applications. The publication is a vital source of information for researchers interested in tribology.
DC Motors, Speed Controls, Servo Systems
An Engineering Handbook
3rd Edition
Sam Stuart
English
DC Motors, Speed Controls, Servo Systems: An Engineering Handbook is an engineering handbook on all aspects of direct current motors, speed controls, and servo systems. Topics covered range from motor equations and transfer function to power dissipation in DC motors, along with velocity control. Applications of DC motors, speed controls, and servo systems are also discussed. Comprised of seven chapters, this book begins with an introduction to relevant terminology, symbols, and systems of units, followed by a detailed account of DC motors and generators. The thermal characteristics of DC motors are considered, together with motor characteristics and temperature. Subsequent chapters deal with unidirectional speed controls, speed controllers, and amplifiers; servo theory and servo components; and applications of servo systems. The book also describes brushless DC motors before concluding with a presentation of Electro-Craft Corp.'s products such as DC servomotors, moving coil motors, special hybrid motors, and servo systems for engineering education. This monograph is intended for professional engineers and engineering undergraduates.

From Project to Production discusses the plans and development of an engineering project in any industry which yields or uses engineering plant of any kind. The book defines the concept behind project engineering and it also describes the administrative procedure involved in the completion of a project. It provides guidelines in order to effectively evaluate and monitor the progress of a project. The text demonstrates the important role of an industrial designer. Topics such as machine element analysis and synthesis, circuit calculations, design and drafting are explained in detail. Types of method of scheduling such as the C.P.M (critical path method), M.O.S.T (management operation system), R.A.M.P.S (resource allocation and multi-project scheduling), and P.E.R.T (programme evaluation and review technique) are discussed and analyzed. A section of the book describes the characteristics of a good engineering design. It also provides some design techniques. The book will provide useful information to design engineer, draftsman, and students of engineering.
Mathematics for Engineering, Technology and Computing Science

1st Edition
Hedley G. Martin
N. Hiller
English
Mathematics for Engineering, Technology and Computing Science provides information pertinent to a variety of topics including linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and vector analysis. This book discusses line and multiple integrals. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of the methods for solving sets of simultaneous linear equations. This text then explores the various techniques for solving the more common types of differential equations. Other chapters consider the methods of solution by series that require certain operations to be performed on power series, such as addition, differentiation, and possibly multiplication. This book discusses as well the important information needed about a given differential equation. The final chapter deals with the analysis and solution of various problems that arise in physics and engineering, as well as in abstract fields. This book is a valuable resource for engineers and mathematicians.
