Inside ISO 14000: The Competitive Advantage of Environmental Management (St Lucie)The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has a master scheme in mind for the protection and preservation of the environment, for sustainable development of life and improving the ecosystem. They call it ISO 14000, the standard and guidelines for effective environmental management systems.Inside ISO 14000 does what its title suggests-tells you everything you need to know to comply with the ISO 14000 series and create and implement a successful environmental management system for competitive advantage. Every chapter in this guide gives you inside information on what the ISO 14000 series will require of organizations to become ISO 14000 certified. The author adds key information from related standards (other ISO 14000 standards, ISO 9000 and ANSI/ASQC E4), plus useful information from his 25+ years of experience in environmental and quality management.Five of the ISO 14000 standards were finalized and issued in 1996. Companies with an eye for competitive advantage will prosper from this book. Ins |

Introduction to Electrical Engineering: Book and CD-ROM (The Oxford Series in Electrical and Computer Engineering)The purpose of this text is to present a problem-oriented introductory survey of electrical engineering, by arousing student enthusiasm while addressing the underlying concepts and methods behind various applications ranging from consumer gadgets and biomedical electronics to sophisticated instrumentation systems, computers, and multifarious electric machinery. The focus is on acquainting students majroing in all branches of engineering and science, especially in courses for non-electrical-engieering majors, with the nature of the subject and the potentialities of its techniques, while emphasizing the principles. Sine principles and concepts are most effectively taught by means of a problem-oriented course, judicially selected topics are treated in sufficient depth so as to permit the assignment of adequately challenging problems which tend to implant the relevant principles in student's minds. In addition to an academic-year (two semesters or three quarters) introductory course traditionally offered to no |

Digital Signal ProcessingWhat are the relations between continuous-time and discrete-time/sampled-data systems, signals, and their spectra? How can digital systems be designed to replace existing analog systems? What is the reason for having so many transforms, and how do you know which one to use? What do s and z really means and how are they related? How can you use the fast Fourier transform (FFT) and other digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms to successfully process sampled signals? Inside, you'll find the answers to these and other fundamental questions on DSP. You'll gain a solid understanding of the key principles that will help you compare, select, and properly use existing DSP algorithms for an application. You'll also learn how to create original working algorithms or conceptual insights, design frequency-selective and optimal digital filters, participate in DSP research, and select or construct appropriate hardware implementations. Key Features * MATLAB graphics are integrated throughout the text to help clarify DS |

Burying Uncertainty: Risk and the Case Against Geological Disposal of Nuclear WasteShrader-Frechette looks at current U.S. government policy regarding the nation's high-level radioactive waste both scientifically and ethically. What should be done with our nation's high-level radioactive waste, which will remain hazardous for thousands of years? This is one of the most pressing problems faced by the nuclear power industry, and current U.S. government policy is to bury "radwastes" in specially designed deep repositories. K. S. Shrader-Frechette argues that this policy is profoundly misguided on both scientific and ethical grounds. Scientificallybecause we cannot trust the precision of 10,000-year predictions that promise containment of the waste. Ethicallybecause geological disposal ignores the rights of present and future generations to equal treatment, due process, and free informed consent. Shrader-Frechette focuses her argument on the world's first proposed high-level radioactive waste facility at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Analyzing a mass of technical literature, she demonstrate |
