Real-life case-studies provide meat for readers wondering about relevance to their companies ISO 14001 is the new international environmental management standard. This book contains the most recent information about the standard, including all its final modifications. Its purpose is to do for environmental control what ISO9000 has done for quality management, and is currently a very hot topic with all major manufacturing companies. The likelihood is that as with ISO9000 the initial uptake from larger organisations will lead to pressure upon suppliers and business partners (including customers!) to join in as well and insist upon compliance from its suppliers.

Each year, thousands of people experiencing flu-like symptoms due to poor air quality and ventilation in the workplace. Other indoor environment dangers that can affect the health of workers range from exposed asbestos insulation to subtle psychological dangers such as limited sunlight. This work is designed to help readers resolve existing indoor air problems and prevent air quality issues from occurring in the future. Suitable for both manufacturing and clerical environments, this book offers legal, medical, industrial hygiene, ad engineering expertise found in no other single publication.

This book will present the basic theory to use control system design software, giving a comprehensive treatment of the time domain or state analysis of linear systems. Uniquely this book will focus on both theory and applications and, in order to facilitate learning, basic mathematical ideas (mostly linear algebra) will be introduced.

Focusing on IC design concepts with added support for discrete design, this new book skillfully interweaves theory with practical applications. It includes extensive coverage of SPICE and PSPICE for low noise analysis and design.
The authors thoroughly discuss such topics as noise sources and models; practical problems of circuit design for low noise using negative feedback, filtering, component noise, measurement techniques and instrumentation; and examples of practical amplifier designs.

Originally published in 1978, and with the working sub-title 'The Failure of Foresight', this was the first book to suggest the possibility of systematically looking at the causes of a wide range of disasters. It still provides a theoretical basis for studying the administrative and organizational origins of disasters, bringing together relevant work based on a study of inquiries into accidents and disasters in Britain over an eleven year period.

Combined circuit handbook and troubleshooting guide offers a collection of over 700 of the latest, most commonly used integrated and discrete-component circuits≤plus a step-by-step troubleshooting guide.

Expanding on the popular first volume, volume 2 now offers more than 700 additional integrated and discrete component circuits used in all areas of electronics, plus new test/troubleshooting data.

This volume includes over 700 new circuits commonly used in all phases of electronics. In addition to full details concerning component values, includes descriptions on how circuits operate and fit.

Two books in one-a circuit compendium and troubleshooting guide.

Updated and revised to cover the latest developments in an extremely fast-growing field, this Encyclopedia will be a "must-have" reference for all computer professionals, for serious hobbyists, and for all engineers, scientists, technicians, students, librarians, and educators with a professional interest in electronics and computer science. In one convenient volume, the Encyclopedia contains 520 alphabetically arranged articles-120 of them completely revised for this edition and 45 that are brand new.

Examining the structure and function of microcomputer buses-communication channels for transmitting digital information within the microcomputer system-this timely volume focuses on the interconnection of the microprocessor and its associated devices, perhaps the most important challenge in the design and application of microcomputers today.
With nearly 200 bibliographic citations of relevant sources, Microcomputer Bus Structures and Bus Interface Design considers many different methods of designing and implementing bus interfaces, acting as a decision-making guide for all designers and engineers working in this dynamic field.

A new book that presents a state-of-the-art review of printed circuits for very high frequency applications. From basic principles to practical applications, it shows you how to design very high frequency circuits and antennas in communications and computers.
Unique to this book is its presentation of radiation and surface wave effects that are increasingly significant as applications reach higher frequencies. It includes basic electromagnetics; transmission lines; couplers and junctions; resonators and filers; solid-state devices; microstrip antennas; CAD; and fabrication and measurement techniques.

Microwave technology has advanced rapidly due to the development of new solid-state devices and circuits. This new book focuses on the basic operating principles and the techniques used to incorporate the devices into circuit applications.
Part one reviews fundamental criteria in transmission lines and circuits as well as semiconductor physics. Two-terminal solid-state devices, circuits and uses are covered in the second edition. The first part deals with three-terminal solid-state devices, circuits and applications and introduces noise figure and several system parameters for receiver design.

This book emphasizes both small and large signal interaction effects as well as linear and nonlinear characteristics. Part One deals with microwave circuits, their parameters and methods of characterizing them. Part Two describes microwave solid-state devices that are usable for amplifiers and oscillators. Lastly, it delves into some of the interactions which occur when solid-state instruments are imbedded into microwave circuits.
