This textbook is intended for the first course of engineering dynamics for undergraduate students. Engineering dynamics is a rigorous topic that typically involves the intensive use of vector mathematics and calculus. This book, however, uses plain language with less vector mathematics and calculus to introduce these topics of mathematics to students with a high school physics background. Numerous practical examples are provided with their step-by-step worked out solutions, as well as case studies to reflect the interests of new engineering and applied engineering students. The topics covered in the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination are presented throughout the text. It also includes roadway dynamics to incorporate engineering dynamics and transportation engineering for civil engineering. Features: Discusses theory using easy-to-understand language with less vector mathematics and calculus Includes practical case studies and numerous realistic step-by-step solved examples Includes exercise problems for students’ practice Provides numerous sample examples related to the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam Includes a solutions manual and PowerPoint slides for adopting instructors Engineering Dynamics: Fundamentals and Applications serves as a useful resource for students across several engineering degree programs, such as civil, mechanical, aerospace, automotive, chemical, and electrical engineering. It is also appropriate for engineering technology and applied science students as well.
This book records the geoheritage values of globally significant, yet little-known, volcanic geosites in Saudi Arabia. It is the first of its kind to focus on the Middle East, clearly showing the hidden geoheritage value of the volcanic Arabian Peninsula’s harrats and demonstrating why the Saudi Arabian volcanic fields are unique. Along with the systematic geosite description, the book introduces scientifically founded geoeducational programs that can be used to develop our understanding of volcanic geoheritage values of volcanic fields. It offers a detailed and comprehensive research-based description of four of the most accessible volcanic harratts in Saudi Arabia and an additional summary of other more remote fields. Additionally, it discusses geoeducational programs that could be used to link these volcanic areas and use them in volcanic hazard education.
We explore the role of sectoral debt dynamics in shaping business cycles in a sample of 52 Emerging Market Economies (EMEs) and Frontier Market Economies (FMEs) from 2005 to 2021. Higher household debt levels and growth are associated with significantly slower GDP growth in more developed EMEs but not in less developed EMEs and FMEs. We also examine the relationship between US dollar cycles, sectoral debt levels and growth, and economic activity. Among developed EMEs, higher expected household debt growth magnifies the impact of US dollar fluctuations on economic activity, with significant but less persistent effects on consumption and more persistent effects on investment. Our empirical findings highlight the important role of household debt dynamics in relatively developed EMEs.
Diabetes mellitus is probably one of the oldest diseases known to mankind. This book covers not only the action, pathogenesis, epidemiology, prevention, and treatment of disease but also encompasses the same regarding all its complications such as diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot, diabetic kidney disease, stroke, hypertensive emergencies, gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal and foetal morbidity associated with gestational diabetes mellitus, intrapartum management and postpartum follow up. The writer provides authoritative, comprehensive, concept-oriented, clinically-applicable text concisely for easy understanding and assimilation by readers.
Civil Engineering Materials: Introduction and Laboratory Testing discusses the properties, characterization procedures, and analysis techniques of primary civil engineering materials. It presents the latest design considerations and uses of engineering materials as well as theories for fully understanding them through numerous worked mathematical examples. The book also includes important laboratory tests which are clearly described in a step-by-step manner and further illustrated by high-quality figures. Also, analysis equations and their applications are presented with appropriate examples and relevant practice problems, including Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) styled questions as well those found on the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Concrete Field Testing Technician - Grade I certification exam. Features: Includes numerous worked examples to illustrate the theories presented Presents Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) examination sample questions in each chapter Reviews the ACI Concrete Field Testing Technician - Grade I certification exam Utilizes the latest laboratory testing standards and practices Includes additional resources for instructors teaching related courses This book is intended for students in civil engineering, construction engineering, civil engineering technology, construction management engineering technology, and construction management programs.
The Field That Wasn't Leveled is the true story of a young boy growing up in a lowermiddle-class neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. Against all odds, he manages to survive the tough streets of Oak Cliff while immersing himself into the world of sports, becoming a high school and college football star. For years, he was told by his coaches that the gridiron was an equal playing field. But no one ever told him about the field that wasn't. After a brief tryout with the NFL New York Giants, he would return to Dallas, Texas, only to find himself being a target in an FBI-masterminded investigation. With his faith intact, he began walking upon "The Field That Wasn't Leveled.
The book “Clinical Pharmacology of Lipid Management” is a testament to a long-standing aspiration and the result of relentless effort and dedication. It provides an in-depth exploration of lipid management. The book emphasizes the heavy financial burden on global healthcare systems represented by dyslipidaemia with significant economic ramifications. In addition, it stresses the need for understanding and following recommended practices in managing dyslipidaemia especially in cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease and diabetes as well as pregnancy and paediatrics. This is seen through discussions about latest therapeutic approaches, technological advancements, and customized treatment plans that have had positive impacts on patient outcomes. Experimental models on lipid metabolism in laboratory is a further addition to this book which is going to help all research scientists who wish to work in the field of lipidology.
Master the principles, analysis, and design in pavement engineering This student-friendly textbook offers comprehensive coverage of pavement design and highways. Written by two seasoned civil engineering educators, the book contains precise explanations of traditional and computerized mechanistic design methods along with detailed examples of real-world pavement and highway projects. Pavement Design: Materials, Analysis, and Highways shows, step by step, how to apply the latest, software-based AASHTOWare Pavement Mechanistic-Empirical Design method. Each design topic is covered in separate, modular chapters, enabling you to tailor a course of study. Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) sample questions are also provided in each chapter. Coverage includes: Stress-strain in pavement Soils, aggregates, asphalt, and portland cement concrete Traffic analysis for pavement design Distresses and distress-prediction models in flexible and rigid pavement Flexible and rigid pavement design by AASHTO 1993 and AASHTOWare Overlay and drainage design Sustainable and rehabilitation pavement design, pavement management, and recycling Geometric design of highways
