Nitrate and nitrite are potentially dangerous substances which can have a detrimental effect on the ecological balance of rivers and lakes, and can cause harm to human health. This book puts into context the magnitude and complexity of the problems caused by nitrate and nitrite, and provides advice and information on ways to combat it.

This book aims to explain the principles of contract law for the businessman, and to put those principles into their commercial context. Anyone involved in commercial transactions needs at least a basic understanding of the principles of contract law –, the legal framework for all commercial activity. A lack of such a basic understanding at best results in a business which is less competitive and ultimately less profitable than it should ...

This book presents a survey of techniques available for the fabrication, repair and modification of structures underwater. Brief descriptions are given of other relevant technologies with which the general engineering practitioner might not be familiar, such as oceanography and diving technology.

A Special Report from the International Institute of Welding which introduces definitions of the terminology relevant to stress determination for fatigue analysis of welded structures. The various stress concentrations, stress categories and fatigue analysis methods are defined, and recommendations for applying finite element methods and experimental methods for stress determination are given.

This is a comprehensive guide to the wool industry and the trading mechanisms involved in this vital business. The supply chain is examined, from sheep farming through to final garment manufacture and supply. The patterns of trade are explored, together with the various international arrangements that are associated with the wool trade.

Wood and wood products are essential to large areas of the world economy, yet until now there has been no single definitive reference source to which those new to or requiring a strategic overview of the industry could turn for a comprehensive picture of the market chain from forest to consumer. "The International Timber Trade "remedies this, providing a detailed overview of the entire timber and timber products business in an authoritative an...

Twenty years of work went into the writing of this: the first book to cover the history of mines and mining in North and South America. The text is enlivened by sketches of many miners the author got to know over the decades.

This is the first book to cover in a comprehensive way, the conduct and structure of the international sugar industry from cultivation right through to end use. The authors look in detail at the workings of the growing and productive sector and the trends in world production, consumption and trading of sugar. Important sections consider the policies of the world's major sugar producers and the likely future developments of the trade in the lig...

This report is the result of a major study on the influence of both main plate thickness and of attachment size on the fatigue strength of joints with transverse non-load-carrying fillet welds. In particular, it defines the extent to which the size of the attachment might influence the thickness effect in such joints. Through a whole range of different tests, the study confirms that the present thickness effect correction for certain types of ...

The use of tubular, or as it is often known, flux-cored wire has grown dramatically in the last thirty years. It is a versatile and productive weld material with wide applications. Yet this book is the first to provide fabricators with a comprehensive and unvarnished account of what tubular wires can do and how they do it. Based on the author's fifteen years' experience of developing and applying tubular wires, it brings together information n...

Intended for those who have to apply or teach design skills in a technical or engineering context, this resource book defines and explains eight creative thinking techniques and shows how to use and adapt these to solve design problems. Case studies are drawn from a wide range of applications.

A comprehensive guide to avoiding hydrogen cracking which serves as an essential problem-solver for anyone involved in the welding of ferritic steels. The authors provide a lucid and thorough explanation of the theoretical background to the subject but the main emphasis throughout is firmly on practice.

Written for practitioners and students with an engineering background, this book bridges the gap between their understanding of the techniques of quality control and the wider definition of TQM which is now accepted as a key part of business philosophy.

Comprehensive advice on applications, techniques and the best available equipment is given in clear, straightforward language.

This book provides designers, welding engineers and metallurgists with the essential information for understanding the welding operation and for applying the processes in production.
