Electrical wiring and appliances, overhead power lines, machinery, photocopiers, mobiles and cordless telephones, radio masts, TVs, tube trains, x-rays and laser beams are amongst the hundreds of everyday items that are now known to give off high levels of microwave radiation. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can be biologically active and capable of making changes to the structure of human and animal cells which are exposed to them. Long-term exposure is believed by an increasing number of scientists and environmentalists to be connected to tumours, fertility problems, behaviour and mood changes, concentration and memory loss, and also to affect melatonin production and impair our immune system repair mechanisms. The Powerwatch Handbook is a simple no-nonsense guide to EMFs and how to reduce their harmful effect. Alasdair and Jean Philips present their information in a practical, positive and lively way, in an easy-to-follow handbook style. EMF levels are graded us

    Book SynopsisTo work with the materials of tomorrow, design students across visual arts disciplines need to understand the cutting edge of today. Whether you're modelling in interiors, designing in fashion or constructing for interiors, in your work or as part of a final project, 3D Printing design is an encouraging guide to additive manufacturing within design disciplines. Francis Bitonti gives an insider's view from his design studio on how 3D printing is already shaking up the industry, and where it's likely to go next. Complete with interviews from designers, business owners and 3D-print experts throughout, Bitonti considers whether 3D body scans mean couture for all, how rapid prototyping can change your design method and if 3D printing materials can enhance medical design, amongst other areas of this emerging method of manufacture. This is inspirational reading for the designers of tomorrow.Trade ReviewI highly recommend this book to any designers wanting to delve deeper into the world of 3D printing. It is full of great ideas and case studies, and successfully introduces additive manufacturing from the ground up, sharing the author’s insight, passion and involvement in emerging trends. * Anatol Just, Digital Manufacturing Technical Demonstrator, London Metropolitan University, UK *Francis Bitonti’s luminous book calls attention to the extraordinary opportunities afforded in this dazzling era of disruptive technology, painting a breathtaking portrait of a bold new world. * Evan Douglis, Dean, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, USA *A consistent investigation of the emerging fields at the crossroads of fashion, technology and architecture... literature is currently lacking a serious and structured book that engages with production technologies and computational design with a precise emphasis on 3D printed fashion. It is a unique instrument for the understanding of the third industrial revolution. I would strongly recommend this book to my students. *proposal review * Niccolo Casas, R.I.S.D. Rhode Island School of Design, USA / Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, UK *Its greatest strength is that it’s written from the perspective of a fashion insider with the technical chops to create beyond the fashion world. His insight is incomparable and there is no better source than Francis Bitonti to cite this kind of work. I can’t think of any other book that specifically focuses on 3D printing for fashion. This book is necessary for the future of the field, and is also very forward-thinking. Its approach to 3D printing as a challenge to modern-day industrial conventions is also interesting and provides a theoretical background to the functional topics. *proposal review * Antonius Wiriadjaja, Research Fellow and Adjunct Professor at New York University, USA *Fills a void in terms of educational texts: there is no direct competitor that I know of on this admittedly focused topic. This is one of the first texts to address emerging design and fabrication techniques in the fashion industry. By coupling both topics, the book merges these formerly discrete activities into a cohesive single process. *proposal review * Fleet Hower, Lecturer, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, New York, USA *Table of ContentsIntroduction 1.

See how lessons learned from the service sector were applied to manufacturing and other diverse settings, including the nonprofit sector and even on one's own home front.Exploring the Kano Model, The Customer-Driven Organization: Employing the Kano Model explains why just meeting customer needs is no longer enough for today's organizations. It explains how to identify true customersboth internal and external.Readers will learn how to directly apply Kano principles in their own business environments or personal lives, to establish priorities, increase efficiency, improve communication, and expand on existing relationships.The book explains how to establish a value proposition for your organization and, more importantly, how and when to provide delightful service. Demonstrating how to incorporate the Kano philosophy into your day-to-day actiTrade ReviewWhat is interesting about this book is its breadth ... it demonstrates how to use the Kano model and a wide variety of quality tools and methods to build a customer-driven organization of any kind. It takes a wide view of application rather than being in depth. It thereby sets the broader context for really understanding how to achieve customer delight rather than getting bogged down in the tools. After all, what really counts is how the principles, tools, and methods are integrated together to achieve excellent products or services—that is what the customer seeks. That is what this book achieves.—Frank Murdock, MSIE, MS Applied Mathematics; 2014 Chair, ASQ Lean Enterprise Division; Principal Consultant, FKM ConsultingThis book shows how the Kano model, Voice of the Customer, and Quality Function Deployment bring successful products into the marketplace for both service and manufacturing companies.—James Bossert, PhD, CLSSMBB, 2014 Editor of ASQ Six Sigma Forum MagazineThe Kano model is a powerful concept in the world of quality and customer satisfaction. Lance Coleman’s book provides a very helpful introduction, illustrated with many real-world examples that help the reader get beneath the surface of the model. All types of companies, including healthcare organizations, can use this book to verify that they truly understand what their customers (or patients) need and the things that will surprise and delight them!—Mark Graban, Shingo Prize-Winning Author of Lean Hospitals and Healthcare Kaizen, Consultant, and SpeakerWith engaging stories and solid examples of how it can be applied, this book shows how to put the Kano model to practical use along with Hoshin Kanri and Quality Function Deployment. A good roundup of Lean, process improvement, control, and planning makes this book a great guide to putting the customer at the heart of the organization.—Melvyn Thornley M.Eng MBA, CQP, CSSMBB, 2014 New Zealand Organization for Quality Vice President; Managing Director, Thornley GroupThis book brings about the understanding not only of customer satisfaction as most of us understand it but something much deeper than that. Let’s call it ‘Meta Satisfaction’—the satisfaction of experiencing satisfaction. The message in the book is epitomized by a reflection on the conversation with Lance and his wife with a cabin attendant on a cruise ship. When offered praise and a tip for a service rendered, the cabin attendant replied, ‘no tip, thank you, it is my pleasure to serve you.’ Now we are talking Quality.—Paul Harding, MSIA, Executive Director, South African Quality InstituteTable of ContentsPreface, Acknowledgments, About the Author, Introduction, 1 Introducing the Kano Model, 2 Shifting Focus, 3 Planning Tools, 4 Deployment Tools, 5 Metrics and Monitoring, 6 Root Cause Analysis, 7 Project Management, 8 Putting All the Pieces Together, 9 Conclusion, Bibliography

    NMSE - Publishing Ltd The Millennium Clock Tower

    Book SynopsisThe Millennium Clock first chimed on 1 January 2000 and crowds still gather round it in the National Museum of Scotland. The finished clock tower echoes the form of a medieval cathedral, standing just over ten metres high. It marks the passing of time but is also a summary of the best and worst of the twentieth century. The animated construction comprises four sections: The Crypt, The Nave, The Belfry and The Spire. Each has its own stories to tell and secrets to reveal. This edition is in a new format and has 12 superb replacement photographs which give close-ups of some of the clock's intricate details. The clock tower is a collaboration between E Bersudsky, A Sandstrom, T Stead and J Tubbecke.

    5 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis and characterization of nanocomposites based on block copolymers. Because of the self-assembly capability of block copolymers for the generation of nanostructures, besides their ability to nanostructure thermosetting matrices such as epoxy and polyester, binary or ternary nanocomposites can be prepared with different nanofillers such as nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes. The book starts with a review on nanocomposites based on block copolymers and nanoparticles synthesized with the use of surfactants, followed by a review on nanocomposites with metallic nanoparticles with polymer brushes and those with carbon nanotubes. A chapter is devoted to binary systems based on block copolymers and nanoparticles synthesized by sol-gel. A review on nanocomposites based on thermosetting matrices nanostructured with block copolymers (amphiphilic or chemically modified) is also presented for both epoxy and polyester resins. The work on ternary systems based on thermosetting matrices, block copolymers, and nanoparticles is presented next. The book concludes with a discussion on nanocomposites based on epoxy and block copolymers with azobenzene groups for optical purposes.Trade Review"This book includes a wide variety of examples of block copolymer nanocomposites and their applications. It documents the enormous progress made in the field in order to use very simple strategies to tailor the surface of nanoparticles into a block copolymer. The chapters are supplemented by comprehensive bibliographies. The book will be immensely useful for polymer chemists, engineers, metallurgists, and all those who are interested in materials science."—Prof. Deodato Radic, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, ChileTable of ContentsSurfactant-treated nanoparticles confinement into block copolymer domains.

    Book SynopsisAs bibliographers or book historians, we perform our work by changing the function of the objects we study. We rarely pick up an Aldine edition to read one of the classical texts it contains. . . . Print culture, under this notion, is not a medium for writing or thought but a historical object of study; our bibliographical field, our own concoction, becomes the true referent of the objects we define as its foundation.—From the IntroductionWhat is a book in the study of print culture? For the scholar of material texts, it is not only a singular copy carrying the unique traces of printing and preservation efforts, or an edition, repeated and repeatable, or a vehicle for ideas to be abstracted from the physical copy. But when the bibliographer situates a book copy within the methods of book history, Joseph A. Dane contends, it is the known set of assumptions which govern the discipline that bibliographic arguments privilege, repeat, or challenge. Book history, he writes, isTrade Review"Dane not only enlivens his text with the refreshing polemical cast with which bibliographers from Housman to Greg and Tanselle have become deservedly well known, but also spices his discussion with arresting contemporary references. . . . The historical range, critical acuity and cumulative evidence from various sources, genres and media make the books a rich resource on any bibliographer's shelves." * SHARP News *Table of ContentsIntroduction PART I.

    ISTE Ltd and John Wiley & Sons Inc From Additive Manufacturing to 3D/4D Printing 2:

    Book SynopsisAdditive manufacturing, which was first invented in France and then applied in the United States, is now 33 years old and represents a market of around 5 billion euros per year, with annual growth of between 20 and 30%. Today, additive manufacturing is experiencing a great amount of innovation in its processes, software, engineering and materials used. Its strength as a process has more recently allowed for the exploration of new niches, ranging from applications at nanometer and decameter scales, to others in mechanics and health. As a result, the limitations of the process have also begun to emerge, which include the quality of the tools, their cost of manufacture, the multi-material aspects, functionalities and surface conditions. Volume 2 of this series presents the current techniques, improvements and limits of additive manufacturing, providing an up-to-date review of this process.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Foreword xi Preface xv Introduction xxix Part 1 Incremental Innovations and Technologies Pushed to their Limits 1 Chapter 1 Incremental Developments of Processes, Machines and Materials 3 1.1 Introduction 5 1.2 Undertaking non-layered stereolithography 8 1.2.1 Optimizing the light supply within a single-photon process 11 1.2.2 Transparent window 12 1.2.3 Gaseous interface 12 1.2.4 Simultaneous two-photon absorption 16 1.3 Challenging the notion of layers 26 1.3.1 Addition of prefabricated structures 26 1.3.2 Proof of concept 33 1.3.3 Synthesis 34 1.4 Optical-quality surface finish 35 1.4.1 Glasses lenses and contact lenses 36 1.4.2 Microlenses 36 1.4.3 Direct lens manufacture 37 1.4.4 Multi-mode optical fiber 39 1.5 Cold-cast metal 3D printing 40 1.5.1 Electrolytic deposition 40 1.5.2 Metallic ink 43 1.5.3 Laser processes 43 1.5.4 Photochemistry 45 1.5.5 Silver metal 46 1.5.6 Conducting polymers 49 1.6 Colored objects 51 1.7 Conclusion 54 1.8 Bibliography 56 Part 2 Additive Manufacturing Pushed to its Limits 71 Introduction to Part 2 73 Chapter 2 µ-Fluidics (or Microfluidics) 81 2.1 Introduction 81 2.2 Review of microfluidics 82 2.3 Applications 86 2.4 Return to additive manufacturing 89 2.4.1 Comment 1: LIFT process (Laser-Induced Forward Transfer) 91 2.4.2 Comment 2: FEBID process (Focused Electron Beam Induced Deposition) 92 2.4.3 Other methods 93 2.4.4 Hybrid methods 99 2.5 Conclusive outcomes 100 2.6 The converse problem: a potential µ-fluidics application to additive manufacturing 101 2.6.1 3D sintering 101 2.6.2 Deposition of polymerized particles 101 2.7 Provisional concept 110 2.8 Conclusion 111 2.9 Bibliography 112 Chapter 3 3D Nanomanufacturing, 3D µ-Electronics and µ-Robotics 121 3.1 Introduction 122 3.2 3D nano-facturing 125 3.2.1 Smart material: so-called “DNA origami” 125 3.2.2 Return from additive manufacturing to standard methods 131 3.2.3 Comment: nanomaterials and additive manufacturing 136 3.2.4 Conclusion 137 3.3 3D µ-electronics 140 3.3.1 2D or 3D electronic circuits 140 3.3.2 Subtractive/additive coupling 146 3.3.3 µ-Electronics 147 3.3.4 Conclusion and aspirations in the sphere 148 3.4 Actuators and µ-robots 148 3.5 Conclusion 150 3.6 Bibliography 151 Part 3 How Should We Go That One Step Further? 163 Chapter 4 A Short Reflection on Spheres to Explore Their Conditions for Achieving Success 165 4.1 Introduction 167 4.2 Favored spheres of innovation 174 4.2.1 How to know where we must anticipate this technology? 174 4.2.2 Opportunities 179 4.3 Some conditions to ensure additive manufacturing reaches maturity? 183 4.3.1 Moreover where does additive manufacturing sit within this interdisciplinarity framework? 186 4.3.2 Observations 191 4.3.3 Some possible solutions? 198 4.3.4 Proposed solutions? 200 4.4 A positive conclusion 202 4.5 Bibliography 203 Chapter 5 Questions of Hope and “Unhope” 213 5.1 Introduction 214 5.2 The “lab-tribe”(LT) approach 216 5.2.1 Context elements 218 5.2.2 Some results 220 5.2.3 “Scientific excellence” 227 5.2.4 Financing and the orientation of research 229 5.2.5 Prospective opportunities for the research unit 230 5.2.6 Collective projects?
