Understanding Pictures
There are not one but many ways to picture the worldAustralian 'x-ray' pictures, cubist collages, Amerindian split-style figures, and pictures in two-point perspective every draw attention to different features of what they represent. The premise of Understanding Pictures is that this diversity is the central fact with which a theory of figurative pictures must reckon. Lopes argues that identifying pictures' subjects is akin to recognizing objects whose appearances have changed over the time. He develops a scheme for categorizing the different ways pictures represent - the different kinds of meaning they have - and he contends that depiction's epistemic value lies in its representational diversity. He also offers a novel account of the phenomenology of pictorial experience, comparing pictures to visual prostheses like mirrors and binoculars. The book concludes with a discussion of works of art which have made pictorial meaning their theme, demonstrating the importance of the issues this book raises for understanding the aesthetics of pictures. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461717929

Hittite And The Indo-european Verb
The 'disconnects' between Hittite and the other early Indo-European languages have been extensively explored, and scholars have realized that the conventional picture of the parent language must be modified to account for the facts of Hittite. Jay Jasanoff proposes the most thorough and systematic resolution of the problem yet published, putting forth a revolutionary model of the Proto-Indo-European verbal system. - Category: Books/Reading - Misc. - New Item: 461718025

Centrifugal Pump Design
A hands-on, applications-based approach to the design and analysis of commonly used centrifugal pumps Centrifugal Pump Design presents a clear, practical design procedure that is solidly based on theoretical fluid dynamics fundamentals, without requiring higher math beyond algebra. Intended for use on the factory floor, this book offers a short, easy-to-read description of the fluid mechanic phenomena that occur in pumps, including those revealed by the most recent research. The design procedure incorporates a simple computer program that allows designs to be checked immediately and corrected as needed; readers learn to calibrate the performance calculation program based on their own test data. Other important features of this book include: *Up-to-date coverage of detailed design data *Guidance on selection, troubleshooting, and modification of existing pumps *A numerical example illustrating the design of a pump as readers move through the book *Manual calculations–including worked examples–and personal computer program listings critical to pump design *Ample references to all subjects for further study This unique handbook closes the gap between research and application and puts the fundamentals of advanced fluid mechanics where they will do the most good: in the hands of engineers, teveryers, and designers who create industrial pumps. - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461115159

Response Surface Methodology Process and Product Optimization Using Designed Experiments 2nd Edition
Now updated and revised From the reviews of the First Edition . . . 'Truly a book that can be read by practitioners…Anyone who deals with designing experiments, the statistical analysis and modeling of data, and especially product or process improvement, including optimization, should have this book as a reference.' –Technometrics 'An excellent book for practitioners. Ownership…is a professional necessity.' –Journal of the American Statistical Association Identifying and fitting an appropriate response surface model from experimental data requires knowledge of statistical experimental design fundamentals, regression modeling techniques, and elementary optimization methods. This book integrates these three topics into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art presentation of response surface methodology (RSM). This new second edition has been substantially rewritten and updated to include new topics and material, new examples, and to more fully illustrate modern applications of RSM. The authors have made the computer a more integral part of their presentation, employing the most common and useful software packages. They bring an applied focus to the subject of RSM, emphasizing methods that are useful in industry for product and process design and development. Features include: *Coverage of two-level factorial and fractional factorial design, and empirical modeling of RSM *Optimization techniques useful in RSM, including multiple responses *Classical and modern response surface designs, including computer-generated designs *The RSM approach to robust parameter design and process robustness studies *Comprehensive treatment of mixture experiments *Revised and expanded end-of-chapter problems, an extensive reference section, and valuable technical appendices on RSM *Supported by Design-Expert software Response Surface Methodology develops the underlying theory of RSM, describes the assumptions and conditions necessary to successfully apply it, and provides comprehensive and authoritative discussion of current topics for statisticians, engineers, and students. - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461115323

Modern Microwave Transistors Theory Design and Performance
A timely and thorough overview of the state of the art of microwave transistors Since the invention of the bipolar transistor in 1947, semiconductor electronics has been advancing and evolving at an enormous pace. Most of the attention has been focused on Si VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) technology, the backbone of the consumer semiconductor electronics industry. Microwave transistors went almost unnoticed until the early 1980s because they were primarily utilized in military and space applications. The recent far-reverying upheavals in civil communications technology– especially wireless communication such as cell phones– have thrust microwave transistor technology into the limelight as never before. Modern Microwave Transistors: Theory, Design, and Performance prepares the engineer with a wide-ranging introduction and overview of microwave transistors. Written by two acknowledged experts, this guide to one of the fastest growing fields in semiconductor electronics offers insight into: History and concepts of microwave transistors Semicond - Books/Reading - Misc. - New - 461115342
