Measuring and testing for vibration is critical in maximizing system durability and ensuring safety. This book presents the tools, techniques, and data for instrumenting, experimenting, monitoring, measuring, and analyzing vibration in a variety of mechanical and structural systems and environments.

Covers issues regarding the occurrence, persistence, treatment, and transformations of pharmaceuticals in the environment and in water treatment systems. This book covers topics ranging from field studies documenting the occurrence of pharmaceuticals in environmental compartments, to laboratory studies determining the degradation kinetics.

Design engineering, a field often considered an intuitive process not amenable to scientific investigation, is no exception. This book explores how to quantify creativity, codify inspiration, and document a process seemingly based solely on intuition. It is suitable for engineering designers, educators, researchers, and students.

Presents the field of death investigation, the coroners and medical examiners who practice it, and the goal of medical, legal, institutional, and privately requested investigations. This work provides coverage of death certificates, autopsy reports, exhumations, deaths in custody, criminal and civil law issues and insurance.

A practical guide to EMC issues for medical device designers and installers. It addresses electromagnetic interference and covers the basics of EMC design, physics, and installation, minimizing theory and concentrating upon the correct way to ground and shield. It explores remedial techniques at three levels: circuit, box, and interconnect.

Decades of US nuclear weapons production have exacted a heavy environmental toll. The Department of Energy estimates that cleaning up waste and contamination resulting from production activities will cost over $150 billion. The authors make a compelling case for establishing a formal program of long-term stewardship for contaminated sites.

Dealing with what is known and relevant about valuing the non-market services of the public forests, this book proposes a theoretical framework that allows multiple uses, the biological dynamics of the forest, and the institutional and economic realities of public forest management to be taken into account in forest planning and budgeting.
