Municipal Wastewater Treatmentby Andrew Stoddard; Jon B. Harcum; Jonathan T. Simpson; James R. Pagenkopf; Robert K. Bastian
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 170.00A thorough analysis of public policy and the Clean Water Act's effect on water quality in the U.S. Using water quality data and historical records from the past 60 years, this book presents the measured impact of the 1972 Clean Water Act on domestic waterways-ecologically, politically, and economically. Municipal Wastewater Treatment supports the hypothesis that the Act's regulation of wastewater treatment processes at publicly owned treatment works (POTW) and industrial facilities has achieved significant success. The authors' case is presented in: * Background information on the history of water pollution control and water quality management * Chapters addressing long-term trends in biochemical oxygen demand loadings from municipal wastewater... more...
Case Studies in Reliability and Maintenanceby Wallace R. Blischke; D. N. Prabhakar Murthy
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 164.00Introducing a groundbreaking companion book to a bestselling reliability text Reliability is one of the most important characteristics defining the quality of a product or system, both for the manufacturer and the purchaser. One achieves high reliability through careful monitoring of design, materials and other input, production, quality assurance efforts, ongoing maintenance, and a variety of related decisions and activities. All of these factors must be considered in determining the costs of production, purchase, and ownership of a product. Case Studies in Reliability and Maintenance serves as a valuable addition to the current literature on the subject of reliability by bridging the gap between theory and application. Conceived during... more...

This second edition also includes an introductory guide to some more recent developments, namely fuzzy logic... more...
Axiomatic Qualityby Basem El-Haik
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 127.00The first book to integrate axiomatic design and robust design for a comprehensive quality approach As the adoption of quality methods grows across various industries, its implementation is challenged by situations where statistical tools are inadequate, yet the earlier a proactive quality system is introduced into a given process, the greater the payback these methods will yield. Axiomatic Quality brings together two well-established theories, axiomatic design and robust design, to eliminate or reduce both conceptual and operational weaknesses. Providing a complete framework for immediate implementation, this book guides design teams in producing systems that operate at high-quality levels for each of their design requirements. And it shows... more...
Elements Of Applied Probability For Engineering, Mathematics And Systems Scienceby David McDonald
World Scientific 2004; US$ 88.40This book has been designed for senior engineering, mathematics and systems science students. In addition, the author has used the optional, advanced sections as the basis for graduate courses in quality control and queueing. It is assumed that the students have taken a first course in probability but that some need a review. Discrete models are emphasized and examples have been chosen from the areas of quality control and telecommunications. The book provides correct, modern mathematical methods and at the same time conveys the excitement of real applications. more...
The Laboratory Quality Assurance Systemby Thomas A. Ratliff
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 163.00Both the 17025:1999 standard and especially ANSI/ISO/ASQ,9001-2000 standard require that a laboratory document its procedures for obtaining reliable results. The Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual details to the user how to a prepare a new laboratory quality assurance manual, which will be appropriate to use as a procedures manual for a particular laboratory, a sales tool to attract potential customers, a document that can be to answer regulatory questions, and ultimately a tool to become a registered ISO 9001/2000 Lab and gain related certifications based on the standard. The Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual: -Incoporates changes to ANSI/ISO/ASQ 9001-2000 pertaining to laboratories. -Provides blank forms used in preparing a quality manual.... more...
