Description
CRC Press Integrated Product and Process Design and Development by Bronstein And D A
A single, comprehensive source on the Integrated Product and Process Design and Development (IP2D2) method and how to apply it. This new text/reference reflects the sweeping changes this approach has brought to traditional engineering design courses and to industry. It is designed to cultivate an attitude toward design that encourages creativity and innovation, while considering the equally important considerations of customer requirements and satisfaction, quality, reliability, manufacturing methods and material selection, assembly, cost, the environment and scheduling. Each concept is introduced and explained with checklists and practical guidelines to help you learn to apply this method to your own work.Introduction to Environmental Toxicology, Third Edition seamlessly covers processes and impacts from the molecular level all the way up to population levels. While retaining the strengths of previous editions, the third edition includes a new chapter on fluoride, an update on endocrine disruption, a discussion of the use of models to reconstruct concentration-response curves, expansion of the metals chapter, and new developments in ecological risk assessment for management decisions at site to regional scales. It is an ideal text for introducing students to the fields of ecotoxicology and risk assessment.
