Most students entering an electronics technician program have an understanding of mathematics. This work provides is a practical application of these basics to electronic theory and circuits.

A useful tool for plant managers, process engineers, environmental consultants, and site remediation specialists that focuses on practices for handling a broad range of industrial solid waste problems.

Provides an overview of the technologies for managing industrial air pollution in petrochemical, oil and gas, and allied industries. This book offers detailed material on equipment selection, sizing, and troubleshooting operations, along with practical design methodology.

Features over 30 projects on building Pirate Radio and Video. This book helps you construct your own station with a minimum investment. It covers popular bands and outputs with projects for UHF, VHF, AM and FM transmitters. It shows how to troubleshoot problems, test outcomes, and synthesize several types of equipment into a powerful system.

Intended for technicians and hands-on practitioners, this title features illustrations, and contains information on cutting-edge receiver equipment as well as the most popular types used in a variety of markets.

Presents a step-by-step approach to AC circuit technology for the beginning student, hobbyist, technician, or engineer. This book covers electronic concepts, terms and the mathematics required to fully understand AC circuit problems. It includes learning objectives, fully-illustrated examples, practice problems and quizzes.

Provides coverage of the research and theory on vision and human motor learning and control.

Historical analysis reveals that perceptual theories and models are doomed to relatively short lives. This volume explores the conceptual and philosophical foundations of perceptual science. Based on logical analyses of various problems, theories, and models, it offers a number of reasons for the weakness of perceptual explanations.

Focuses on human locomotor behaviour. This volume studies the adaptability of human gait to obtain insights into the control of locomotion. It examines how the questions posed, the technology, and the experimental and theoretical paradigms have evolved over the years, and what the future has in store for this important research domain.

Suitable for those involved in environmental activities in their attempt to make the world cleaner and to sustain its natural resources for future generations, this dictionary contains terms covering the following fields and subfields: air pollution, biological diversity, biomass energy, biosafety, biotechnology, and climate change.

Provides a comprehensive review of the nondestructive techniques for strain evaluation written. This book deals with X-ray stress analysis (XSA), focussing on measurement and evaluation methods. It also contains data, results, hints and recommendations that are useful to laboratories for certification and accreditation of their stress analysis.

Provides a synthesis of our knowledge of the anatomy, pharmacology, physiology and behavioral data of the serotonin (5-HT)-dopamine (DA) interactions. This work comprehensively surveys some of the most significant areas of dopamine/serotonin interactions. It provides an understanding of the interaction between Serotonin and Dopamine.

The spoken language is an important means of human information transmission. A nationwide research project was conceived and started in 1987 as one of the first Priority Research Areas supported by the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture of Japan. This work offers an overview of the project, followed by 41 papers presented at the symposia.

Introduces the method of lower and upper solutions for ordinary differential equations. Divided into two sections, this book presents the fundamental features of the method. It also pays attention to other settings such as partial differential equations or functional differential equations. It features illustrated theorems by examples.

Features a blend of difference equations theory and its applications to economics. This book deals with the theory of linear (and linearized) difference equations, and nonlinear dynamical systems which have been applied to economic analysis. It studies the important concepts and theorems in difference equations theory.

Discusses the synthesis of high-value dyes and pigments as well as their applications and performance. This title includes chapters that are arranged so that the reader logically advances from the fundamental concepts to more practical aspects of the technology in which they are used.

Deals with an important branch of the dynamical systems theory: the study of the fine (fractal) structure of Poincare recurrences - instants of time when the system almost repeats its initial state. This book presents rules for action to study mathematical models of real systems. It contains standard theorems of dynamical systems theory.

Introduces a study of linear discrete parabolic problems through reducing the starting discrete problem to the Cauchy problem for an evolution equation in discrete time. This book contains a stability theory of discrete evolution equations in Banach space and gives applications of this theory to the analysis of modern discretization methods.
