Editorial Review Product Description Covers a Host of Groundbreaking Techniques Thermal processing is known to effectively control microbial populations in food, but the procedure also has a downside―it can break down the biochemical composition of foods, resulting in a marked loss of sensory and nutritional quality. Processing Effects on Safety and Quality of Foods delineates three decades of advances made in processing techniques that produce microbiologically safe foods, while maintaining their sensory and nutritive properties. Addresses the Entire Food Processing Industry With an international team of more than 35 renowned contributors, this book presents evaluation techniques that yield reliable estimations of microbiological, physicochemical, nutritive, and sensory characteristics. Each chapter discusses the processing effects of relevant technologies and includes the basics of microbial kinetics, sensory evaluation, and the perception of food quality. A sampling of the techniques covered: Processing Effects on Safety and Quality of Foods addresses the entire food processing industry, including food modeling, optimization, and proper design of manufacturing plants. It is the first of its kind―a single, sound reference that explores all of the different aspects involved in evaluating processing effects in food safety and quality. |

Excellent Reliability Resource. The main purpose of this book is to provide an organized approach to the development and implementation of a burn-in program. This book does give you the basics in developing burn-in, that is the application of elevated temperature to cause latent defects to fail at the manufacturing plant rather than to have the unit fail during use by the Customer. The book, however, is truly a rather complete text in reliability, dealing with the three stages of a product: infant mortality, useful life and wear out. I have used this book over the past decade or so, and taken portions of the text for proposals, when a project was just beginning, and, at the other end, used the text for Weibull functions to ascertain the end-of-life of a product. It is an excellent book, describing reliability principles far more clearly than some other fundamental texts. I received this book at a burn-in seminar taught by Dr. Finn Jensen.Dr. Jensen is a slight, bubbly man, whose English is impeccable.At the seminar, he fleshed out the examples in the book with details and anecdotes showing that the book, "Burn-In", is grounded on a wealth of real-life experience.If you buy one book on burn-in, or on reliability, this is the one. John Peter Rooney, MSEE; ASQ Certified Reliability Engineer #2425.
A no-nonsense approach First time users of burnin technology will want to familiarize themselves with the statistics of failure analysis before advancing onto a burn-in plan. The book may also appeal to senior manufacturing line personnel who have witnessed first hand experiences in burn-in and wish to pursue further the cause and effect relationship.Using the methodologies outlined within, production line resources can be maximized for yield and quality. The read is enjoyable and refreshing - without sidetracking - It dives right into the topic at hand and plows through to a solution and implementation plan. ... Read more |

Very Helpful and Full of Content The great thing about this book is its ability to bridge the gap between theoretical treatment and practical applications. Although it is full of algorithms and equations, all are presented in the context of real applications and real results. It has truly broadened my understanding of of the subject.
A Great Combination of Rigor and Practical Advice The book is pretty rigorous, and has a good bit of equations and theory, but what I appreciated is that there is a lot of common sense and good recommendations throughout, plus good data and tables on reliability, equipment, expectations, etc.I learned just a lot about distribution systems and reliability, and what to expect and how to make improvements in the real world, from this book. But what I think is unique about this book and its greatest value was its combination of rigorous analysis of system configuration and indidivual equipment focus.You find a lot of stuff written that focuses on one or the other.There are books and technical papers on methods to analyze systems based on layout, load, switching capabilities, etc. (configuration), but they are often theoretical and neglect issues of equipment.There are also books on equipment lifetime versus loading analysis, condition evaluation and assessment, and maintainability.But rarely are the two combined well, and in one whole analytical method. This is one of the best engineering books I have.

Helpful and useful one for my daily life
Wait for the NEXT Edition. This is the second edition of the Handbook, which first appeared in 1988.There are individual contributing authors for each of the 27 chapters; the resultant is already out of date.The current "Limbo" status of military documents, such as Military Standard 105 and Military Handbook 217F, makes this present edition of the Handbook out of date in 2000. Will Military Handbook 217F ever be revised to provide up-to-date models for the failure rates of modern electronic components? This Handbook would benefit from better editing.For example, as a Handbook, it is expected that the index in the back of the physical book would contain page references to pertinent reliability terms and techniques.Today's technology emphasizes Environmental Stress Screening, ESS.The term, ESS, has been around for at least 15 years (or so: I recall doing an IEEE paper on ESS in 1988). It is expected that ESS and related terms such as HALT (Highly Accelerated Life Testing) and HASS, would be readily found in the Handbook's index.They are not. Same thing holds true for Software Reliability, where the chapter's author uses the cute term, "SMERFS Model" (p. 22.15),but this term will not be found in the index. (SMERFS = Statistical Modeling and estimation of reliability functions for software.)By the way, from a technical point of view, this chapter'shalf page on the various modelsfor software reliability is very skimpy.For example, Dr. Michael Elbert has written an entire IEEE paper on the selection of the proper model for software reliability.It would be expected that a Handbook would be more complete than just a small portion of a page.In Chapter 22, on Software Reliability, the author references a paper on the Rayleigh curve by "Gaffney" (p. 22.13).The reference at the back of Chapter 22 gives the reference's name as "John Gafney".This is a discrepancy that should have been caught by the editors.I suspect that the correct spelling is "Gaffney", but both can not be correct. There are other editorial lapses:on page 16.24, Bellcore failure rates are compared to MIL-HDBK-217, and it is state thatBellcore "... provides generally better failure rates than does MIL-HDBK-217F, which is supposedly based on field experience in communications equipment." The way this sentence is presented implies that MIL-HDBK-217F is based upon experience in communications equipment, when, as most reliability practitioners know, MIL-HDBK-217F failure rates are based on environments from Ground, Fixed, to Ground, Benign, to Naval Sheltered and Airborne, etc, and on equipment from radios to radars to sonars, air data computers and fire control units.This inconsistency in the use of the language ought to have been caught by the editors. On page 16.6, there is a nice comparison of FITs to failures per million hours to %failure per 1000 hours. The Editors should make the reader aware that a billion in American usage (1 with nine zeroes after it) is not the same as European usage.Chapter 6, on FMEAs is totally into the Risk Priority Number method where "gray beards" sit around and use the "Delphi" approach to ascertainthe probability of an event, the severity of that failure and whether or not the failure can be detected.This is a very subjective method, and, in my humble opinion, RPN is being supercededby more objective, quantitative methods (see IEC 61508). In summary, prudent purchasers should await the next edition of this Handbook, if that edition considers all the changes taking place in the availability of military standards and the new leadership role of international standards in the reliability arena.For example, IEC 300, on "Dependability" is not even mentioned.
