This book is an update of the book of the same title, providing important extensions of unique techniques of numerical analyses of beams, long strips, circular plates, and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and/or unyielding/elastic supports. Elastic foundations are modelled either as Winkler springs or elastic half-space-type continua (isotropic or cross-anisotropic). The solution techniques applied incorporate a variant of the direct stiffness method (beams, strips, tank

The ability to use tools is a distinguishing feature of human beings. It represents a complex psychomotor activity that we are only now beginning to comprehend. Robust new theoretical accounts allow us to better understand how people use tools and explain differences in human and animal tool use from the perspective of cognitive science.

Dr. Geller provides theory, procedures, and tools to guide your organization´s long-term continuous improvement.

Our responses to our thermal environment have a considerable effect on our performance and behavior, not least in the realm of work. There has been considerable scientific investigation of these responses and formal methods have been developed for environmental evaluation and design. In recent years these have been developed to the extent that detailed national and international standards of practice have now become feasible.
