Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene Engineering

Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene Engineering

We know certain chemicals cause problems in the workplace. The issues now are: Where do they occur in the workplace? How can we best evaluate them? What are the procedures for dealing with them safely? Many books simply define the problem and tell you that you need a program. Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene gives you a guide to air sampling protocols from start to finish. The book presents sampling technology updated with today's tools - such as microcircuitry and remote sensing. The authors emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to understanding how air monitoring can adequately report current environmental conditions associated with outdoor media indoor remediation efforts proximal equipment interior line monitoring and the interrelationship of ventilation parameters. In addition to providing the how-tos of sampling this guide covers the basics of chemical risk assessment biological assessment engineering evaluation of mechanical system design criteria and chemical or process engineering hazard assessments. It presents the information using text text outlines graphics and pictures - including cross sections of instrumentation and side bars to elaborate on complex concepts. Faulty readings caused by poor sampling techniques can be very costly. This book provides the how-tos for making design engineering and on-site decisions as to instrumentation selection and scheduled usage. Air Sampling and Industrial Hygiene Engineering will allow you to complete the sampling process systematically and correctly from initial suspicions to the use of obtained results.

Thermal Computations for Electronics Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling

Thermal Computations for Electronics Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling

The first edition of Thermal Computations for Electronics: Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling was based on the author's lecture notes that he developed over the course of nearly 40 years of thermal design and analysis activity the last 15 years of which included teaching a university course at the senior undergraduate and graduate levels. The subject material was developed from publications of respected researchers and includes topics and methods original to this author. Numerous students have contributed to both the first and second editions the latter corrected sections rewritten (e. g. radiation spatial effects Green's function properties for thermal spreading 1-D FEA theory and application) and some new material added. The flavor and organization of the first edition have been retained whereby the reader is guided through the analysis process for systems and then components. Important new material has been added regarding altitude effects on forced and buoyancy driven airflow and heat transfer. The first 20% of the book is devoted to the prediction of airflow and well-mixed air temperatures in systems circuit board channels and heat sinks followed by convective (PCB-mounted components included) radiative and conductive heat transfer and the resultant temperatures in electronic equipment. Detailed application examples illustrate a variety of problems. Downloads (from the CRC website) include: MathcadTM text examples exercise solutions (adopting professors only) plus PDF lecture aids (professors only) and a tutorial (Chapter 14) using free FEA software to solve a thermal spreading problem. This book is a valuable professional resource for self-study and is ideal for use in a course on electronics cooling. It is well-suited for a first course in heat transfer where applications are as important as theory. | Thermal Computations for Electronics Conductive Radiative and Convective Air Cooling

Ghosts in the Machine Rethinking Learning Work and Culture in Air Traffic Control

Ghosts in the Machine Rethinking Learning Work and Culture in Air Traffic Control

This book provides a socio-cultural analysis of the ways in which air traffic controllers formally and informally learn about their work and the active role that organisational cultures play in shaping interpretation and meaning. In particular it describes the significant role that organizational cultures have played in shaping what is valued by controllers about their work and its role as a filter in enabling or constraining conscious inquiry. The premise of the book is that informal learning is just as important in shaping what people know and value about their work and that this area is frequently overlooked. By using an interpretative research approach the book highlights the ways in which the social structure of work organisation culture and history interweaves with learning work to guide and shape what is regarded by controllers as important and what is not. It demonstrates how this social construction is quite different from a top-down corporate culture approach. Technological and organizational reform is leading to changes in work practice and to changes in relationships between workers within the organization. These have implications for anyone wishing to understand the dynamics of organizational life. As such this study provides insights into many of the changes that are occurring in the nature of work in many different industries. Previous research into learning in air traffic control has centred largely on cognitive individual performance performance within teams or more recently on performance at a systems level. By tracing the role of context in shaping formal and informal learning this book shows why interventions at these levels sometimes fail. | Ghosts in the Machine Rethinking Learning Work and Culture in Air Traffic Control
