New Mexico: Webster's Timeline History, 1990

New Mexico: Webster's Timeline History, 1990 Review


See more picture


New Mexico: Webster's Timeline History, 1990 Feature

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "New Mexico," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have New Mexico in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with New Mexico when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name New Mexico, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain.

Optimal Synthesis Methods for MEMS (Microsystems)

Optimal Synthesis Methods for MEMS (Microsystems) Review


See more picture


Optimal Synthesis Methods for MEMS (Microsystems) Feature

This book is a first ever collection of optimization-based synthesis methods for MEMS. Various chapters written by leading researchers in the field cover a variety of MEMS devices and actuation principles including mechanical, electrostatic, electro-thermal, and piezoelectric. Process, mask, and system-level syntheses are also addressed. Sufficient background material, algorithms, and details of implementation of the optimization procedures are included to facilitate application to practical problems by MEMS engineers and researchers as well as students. This timely book underscores the importance of synthesis in designing MEMS efficiently and economically.

Heat, Bearings, and Lubrication: Engineering Analysis of Thermally Coupled Shear Flows and Elastic Solid Boundaries

Heat, Bearings, and Lubrication: Engineering Analysis of Thermally Coupled Shear Flows and Elastic Solid Boundaries Review


See more picture


Heat, Bearings, and Lubrication: Engineering Analysis of Thermally Coupled Shear Flows and Elastic Solid Boundaries Feature

A systematic treatment of the thermal and elastic deformation of bearings, seals, and other machine elements under a wide variety of conditions, with particular emphasis on failure mechanisms when high speeds or loads cause significant frictional heating and on methods for predicting and avoiding such failures. Intended for designers and mechanical engineers responsible for high-performance machinery, the book is unique in discussing instabilities driven by frictional heating and thermal expansion and in developing a theoretical approach to engineering design in those cases in which the thermal problems are pivotal. It thus provides a guide as to what is important in the development of high-performance engineering systems. References to recent publications, new material that fill gaps in the literature, a consistent nomenclature, and a large number of worked examples make this a useful text and reference for both researchers and practising engineers.

Unwritten Laws of Engineering: Revised and Updated Edition

Unwritten Laws of Engineering: Revised and Updated Edition Review


See more picture


Unwritten Laws of Engineering: Revised and Updated Edition Feature

This fully revised and updated edition of the 1944 classic, serves as a crucial compilation of "house rules," or a professional code. It addresses three areas: what the beginner needs to learn at once; "laws" relating chiefly to engineering executives; and purely personal considerations for engineers.

Packed with contemporary examples, this new volume is a must for those entering the engineering field or those interested in improving their professional effectiveness.
