High Pressure Science And Technology

This book offers a detailed exposition of the numerical methods that are used in engineering and science. This book would be an interesting supplement for the practicing engineers, scientists, and graduate students.

Food Science and Technology: Processing, Preservation, and Safety

Facilities engineering is a broad specialty embracing all of the classic engineering specialties such as civil, chemical, mechanical, and instrument/electrical, as well as the broad science of project management. Authors have attempted to provide the non-facilities engineer with a basic understanding of the equipment and systems we use, how they work, the relative advantages and disadvantages that aid in choosing between alternatives for a specific set of conditions, and a better understanding of the terminology so that those with a general knowledge can interface more effectively with experts in each of the different subspecialties.

Sensors are the key to life and survival - and to the success of modern technology. Nature has provided living creatures with a wealth of sensors for a variety of measurands, such as light, sound, temperature, speed, motion, distance, force, pressure, acceleration, odor and so on - sensors, whose performance and specifications have often not been matched yet by man-made devices. Even at today's high level of electronics and information technology, sensors remain the crucial and decisive interface needed to reliably relate phenomena occurring in the environment to corresponding electric signals that can be processed to obtain the desired information and subsequent correct reaction of systems. Although the literature on sensors is extremely vast, there is one type of sensors which so far has received little attention: the piezoelectric sensor. Certainly, most handbooks on measurement mention briefly this type of sensor yet there is not a single book in the English language dedicated entirelyto piezoelectric sensors and giving a reasonably complete overview. There are only the books by [Gohlke 1955 and 1959] and [Tichy and Gautschi 1980], all in German.
