Overview: Aluminum P/M parts can be production sintered in various types of furnaces and atmospheres. Selection of sintering furnace depends upon economic considerations and production rates desired. Batch furnaces have lowest investment costs and are adequate for low to medium production whereas continuous furnaces are more costly but provide higher production rates. strong, well-sintered P/M parts can be obtained in atmos­ pheres of nitrogen, dissociated ammonia and in vacuum. Atmos­ phere selection depends upon facilities available within individual plants plus property requirements. Highes

Overview: Microbiologie en infectieziekten bestrijkt het vakgebied van de medische microbiologie en infectieziekten en is afgestemd op de eindtermen van de opleiding tot basisarts. Het boek behandelt het gehele vakgebied, dat wil zeggen alle soorten infecties en alle aandachtsgebieden binnen de medische microbiologie.De eisen die ten aanzien van de kennis van dit vakgebied aan de basisarts worden gesteld, betreffen vooral inzicht in infectieziekten en infectieprocessen, en niet zozeer het paraat hebben van een grote feitenkennis. Bij de opzet van Microbiologie en infectieziekten is hiermee rek

Overview: .Moving Target Defense: Creating Asymmetric Uncertainty for Cyber Threats. was developed by a group of leading researchers. It describes the fundamental challenges facing the research community and identifies new promising solution paths. Moving Target Defense which is motivated by the asymmetric costs borne by cyber defenders takes an advantage afforded to attackers and reverses it to advantage defenders. Moving Target Defense is enabled by technical trends in recent years, including virtualization and workload migration on commodity systems, widespread and redundant network connect

Overview: Counters the dominant emphasis on the West in media studies by looking at cultural negotiations of class and poverty in different regions of Europe.Extends the variety of genres and types of media whoThe key concepts of the book are media, class, poverty, and shaming. The contributors to this book examine how certain social relations and their cultural meanings in the media, namely class and poverty, are transformed into factual or moral attributes of people and situations. Class and poverty are not understood as certain things and actions, or concepts and numbers; both class and pov

Overview: Provides tools, cases and examples that help readers manage complexity and systems thinking.Presents innovative ways to address complex and urgent problems such as global climate change, innovation ma.Why do policies and strategies often fail, and what can be done about it? How can complexity be managed in cases where it cannot be reduced? The answers to these questions are anything but trivial, and can only be found by combining insights from complexity science, system dynamics, system theory and systems thinking. Rooted in the seminal works of Gregory Bateson, Jay Forrester, Donell
