  • Book cover of Introduction to Food Engineering

    Long recognized as the bestselling textbook for teaching food engineering to food science students, this 5e transitions with today's students from traditional textbook learning to integrated presentation of the key concepts of food engineering. Using carefully selected examples, Singh and Heldman demonstrate the relationship of engineering to the chemistry, microbiology, nutrition and processing of foods in a uniquely practical blend. This approach facilitates comprehensive learning that has proven valuable beyond the classroom as a lifetime professional reference. - Communicates key concepts using audio, video, and animations - Integrates interactive tools to aid in understanding complex charts and graphs - Features multimedia guide to setting up Excel spreadsheets and working with formulae - Demonstrates key processes and engineering in practice through videos - Shows the relationship of engineering to the chemistry, microbiology, nutrition and processing of foods via carefully selected examples - Presents a practical, unique and challenging blend of principles and applications for comprehensive learning - Ideal for classroom use, valuable as a lifetime professional reference

  • Book cover of The Other Six Days

    In this provocative book, Stevens writes the clergy-laity division has no basis in the New Testament and challenges all Christians to rediscover what it means to live daily as God's people. Exploring the theological, structural and cultural reasons for treating laypeople as the objects of ministry, Stevens argues against the idea of clericalism and in favor of equipping people for ministry in their homes, workplaces and neighborhoods.

  • Book cover of The HIP Investor

    A new breed of investing that combines making more money and making a difference First there were the "Profiteers," investors who sought to make money regardless of the cost to society. Then came the "Do-Gooders," investors who avoided "bad" companies and supported "good" ones, based on philosophy over financials. Now this book introduces a brand new breed of investor: The HIP Investor. Written for those who want to profit handsomely while also building a better world, it will help you discover companies that are boosting the bottom line by solving key human needs through innovative products and services-benefiting customers, engaging employees, and delivering sustainable, profitable growth for their investors. That's the Human Impact + Profit, or HIP, approach. In The HIP Investor, R. Paul Herman-creator of the HIP methodology-introduces a revolutionary system that allows investors to profit and make a positive impact. It values measurable results over policies and philosophies, and shows how higher-performing companies can deliver both human impact and profit for shareholders. This book Provides a compelling, easy to use "investor tool-kit" so you can quickly "HIP" your portfolio Reveals the three questions you should ask when looking for a company to invest in Illustrates how world problems can be solved for profit by companies and investors making informed decisions You can make money while making a difference, and The HIP Investor is here to show you how.

  • Book cover of Analysis of Multiconductor Transmission Lines

    The essential textbook for electrical engineering students and professionals-now in a valuable new edition The increasing use of high-speed digital technology requires that all electrical engineers have a working knowledge of transmission lines. However, because of the introduction of computer engineering courses into already-crowded four-year undergraduate programs, the transmission line courses in many electrical engineering programs have been relegated to a senior technical elective, if offered at all. Now, Analysis of Multiconductor Transmission Lines, Second Edition has been significantly updated and reorganized to fill the need for a structured course on transmission lines in a senior undergraduate- or graduate-level electrical engineering program. In this new edition, each broad analysis topic, e.g., per-unit-length parameters, frequency-domain analysis, time-domain analysis, and incident field excitation, now has a chapter concerning two-conductor lines followed immediately by a chapter on MTLs for that topic. This enables instructors to emphasize two-conductor lines or MTLs or both. In addition to the reorganization of the material, this Second Edition now contains important advancements in analysis methods that have developed since the previous edition, such as methods for achieving signal integrity (SI) in high-speed digital interconnects, the finite-difference, time-domain (FDTD) solution methods, and the time-domain to frequency-domain transformation (TDFD) method. Furthermore, the content of Chapters 8 and 9 on digital signal propagation and signal integrity application has been considerably expanded upon to reflect all of the vital information current and future designers of high-speed digital systems need to know.

  • Book cover of Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility

    A Landmark text thoroughly updated, including a new CD As digital devices continue to be produced at increasingly lowercosts and with higher speeds, the need for effectiveelectromagnetic compatibility (EMC) design practices has becomemore critical than ever to avoid unnecessary costs in bringingproducts into compliance with governmental regulations. The SecondEdition of this landmark text has been thoroughly updated andrevised to reflect these major developments that affect bothacademia and the electronics industry. Readers familiar with theFirst Edition will find much new material, including: * Latest U.S. and international regulatory requirements * PSpice used throughout the textbook to simulate EMC analysissolutions * Methods of designing for Signal Integrity * Fortran programs for the simulation of Crosstalk supplied on aCD * OrCAD(r) PSpice(r) Release 10.0 and Version 8 Demo Editionsoftware supplied on a CD * The final chapter on System Design for EMC completelyrewritten * The chapter on Crosstalk rewritten to simplify themathematics Detailed, worked-out examples are now included throughout the text.In addition, review exercises are now included following thediscussion of each important topic to help readers assess theirgrasp of the material. Several appendices are new to this editionincluding Phasor Analysis of Electric Circuits, The ElectromagneticField Equations and Waves, Computer Codes for Calculating thePer-Unit-Length Parameters and Crosstalk of MulticonductorTransmission Lines, and a SPICE (PSPICE) tutorial. Now thoroughly updated, the Second Edition of Introduction toElectromagnetic Compatibility remains the textbook of choice foruniversity/college EMC courses as well as a reference for EMCdesign engineers. An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all theproblems in the book is available from the Wiley editorialdepartment.
