This definitive guide covers the design and application of absorbers and diffusers. Surface diffusion is a relatively young subject area, and diffuser design, application and characterisation are often not well understood by practitioners. Although absorption is more widely understood, it is also informed by new research. This text details the evolution and the current state of the art in diffuser research and application along with absorption. It covers a range of practical and theoretical aspects of absorbers and diffusers and extensive examples of installations for practitioners working in the measurement, modelling and design of rooms and semi-enclosed spaces as well as in noise control.

This text is meant to be a hands-on lab manual that can be used in class every day to guide the exploration of the theory and applications of differential and integral calculus. For the most part, labs can be used individually or in a sequence. Each lab consists of an explanation of material with integrated exercises. Some labs are split into multiple subsections and thus exercises are separated by those subsections. The exercise sections integrate problems, technology, Mathematica R visualization, and Mathematica CDFs that allow students to discover the theory and applications of differential and integral calculus in a meaningful and memorable way.

This book gives healthcare leaders a practical guide to implementing the 4 key components of a lean daily management system - 1. LDM boards; 2. Leadership rounds 3. Leader daily disciplines and 4. Lean projects. Although lean is not new to healthcare, effective LDM is just now taking hold with the best lean healthcare organizations in the U.S. and Canada. Leaders are realizing that sustaining their lean projects over time has proven to be a challenge without first addressing the organizations management system/model. LDM gives leaders a straightforward approach to do just that.
