Product Description
Global Vehicle Reliability promotes an understanding of the use of predictive models, failure analysis, and modelling techniques. The chapters, written by experts from Jaguar, Ford, independent industry consultants, and respected academics, emphasize the need to correlate life-testing to real world usage profiles.

In an increasingly competitive marketplace, reliability and predicting failure correctly can provide an edge, or mean commercial disaster if it is not managed well. Global Vehicle Reliability will be of interest to automotive engineers involved in reliability testing, designers, manufacturers, component suppliers, testing houses, and key automotive decision makers.

Vehicles are now global in their brand marketing, manufacture, and development. This international spread and network of research, development, supply, and assembly provides real challenges in the maintenance of high standards of reliability.

The global vehicle has to be able to perform reliably and be easy to maintain in all the world-wide territories that the manufacturer is selling into. Vehicles are becoming increasingly complex and the purchaser expects better and better reliability. The onus is on the manufacturers, their suppliers, the testing houses, and the whole international network of brand developers to meet these expectations.

time travel to 1904 and exploration of radioactivity
This marvelous book provides unique insights into the state of physics ca. 1904. The year 1904 marks the middle of a period during which physics underwent a major revolution, comparable to the one engendered by Newton -- or the current revolution in DNA/microbiology. Beginning with Konrad Roentgen's 1895 discovery of x-rays, came an unprecedented streak of discoveries: Becquerel's discovery of radioactivity in uranium ores (1896); J. J. Thomson discovery of the electron (1897); radioactivity of thorium (1898); Curies identify radium and polonium and coin the term "radioactivity" (1898). In the years followingadditional discoveries continued to pour in, so that by the nineteen-thirties a fairly clear and consistent picture of the atom and its nucleus had emerged.
The amount of knowledge, understanding, and intelligent conjectures contained in this book is truly amazing -- considering that only eight years had elapses since the discovery of radioactivity.For example:alpha, beta, and gamma rays had been identified, and it was recognized that radioactivity transmuted one element into another -- something considered impossible before.Also of great interestis that in 1904 there were already clues that the mass of a particle increases as the speed of light is approached - and this was at least a year before Einstein'scelebrated paper. All this is clearly presented in this book.
Areas which posed special difficulties to the early pioneers deserve special attention.For example:expecting to find positively charged particles similar in charge-to mass ratio as the electron,the early pioneers failed to recognize the hydrogen nucleus as the basic positive particle (i.e., the proton). (The positron, analogous to the electron, is a rare particle, discovered only much later.) They also had difficulty with why the atomic weights were not always integral multiples of hydrogen. (Thus, chlorine is 37.5, or halfway between two multiples of hydrogen.The element tellurium has a greater atomic weight than iodine, even though it tellurium precedes iodine in the periodic table.) The answer to the riddle, of course, lies with the neutron,and the existence of isotopes. However, the concept of a neutral particle did not come easy, and so it took a number of years to resolve these issues.
The style of the book is somewhat along the lines of Scientific American, in that concepts are clearly presented, while math is kept to a minimum. The book is a photocopy of the 1904 editions.Though a small amount of blurring is discernible, it is still fairly easy to read. Since there are no copyrights the cost of the book is kept quite low.

Product Description
In AD 42, the Emperor Claudius initiated work on the construction of a new artificial harbour a short distance to the north of the mouth of the Tiber. The harbour facilities were enlarged at the instigation of the Emperor Trajan at the beginning of the second century AD, and Portus remained the principal port for the City of Rome into the Byzantine period. The surviving archaeological remains and comments by ancient sources make it clear that Portus lay at the heart of Rome's maritime facade. As well as being a key Mediterranean centre for passengers and for the loading, unloading, transshipment and storage of products from across the Empire, it was also designed to make an ideological statement about the supremacy of Rome in the world. Portus is, thus, of key importance to understanding Rome and her relationship to the Empire. The project that forms the subject of this book was designed to use non-destructive techniques of topographic and geophysical survey in combination with systematic surface collection to provide a new understanding of the plan of Portus. The work was undertaken between 1997 and 2002 as a collaboration between the Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici di Ostia, the British School at Rome, and the Universities of Southampton, Durham and Cambridge. This volume presents the full results of the survey and uses them as the basis for a re-evaluation of the whole port complex. The geophysical survey results are interpreted in the context of earlier work at the site in order to offer new perspectives on the character and development of the site. ... Read more
