Now in a ninth edition, Engineering Economic Analysis offers comprehensive coverage of financial and economic decision-making for engineering projects, with an emphasis on problem solving, life cycle costs, and the time value of money. The spreadsheet material from the previous edition has been expanded, allowing students to create and analyze more realistic cash-flow models. The authors' concise, accessible writing style and practical emphasis make this text ideal for undergraduate engineering economy courses.

This European Standard specifies requirements, test methods, the marking and evaluation of conformity for packaged and/or site assembled domestic wastewater treatment plants (including guest houses and businesses) used for populations up to 50 inhabitants. Small wastewater treatment plants according to this European Standard are used for the treatment of raw domestic wastewater.
It covers plants with tanks made of concrete, steel, PVC-U, Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) and Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP-UP).
The test methods specified in this European Standard establish the performance of the plant, needed to verify its suitability for the end use (see 3.1).
This European Standard applies for small wastewater treatment plants for use buried in the ground where no vehicle loads are applied to the product.
This European Standard applies to plants where all prefabricated components are factory or site-assembled by one manufacturer and which are tested as a whole.
NOTE In some countries, domestic wastewater treatment plants are followed by other systems to conform to national regulations.
P.S.
In 2009 the standard was amended. The last version is EN 12566-3:2005+A1:2009.

This standard provides rules for the determination of design values for thermal conductivity and thermal resistance of both masonry and masonry products.
It also describes how the basic values for the calculation of design thermal values are determined and also the calculation methods to derive design values from basic values. It covers solid masonry units (clauses 4 and 5) and masonry units with formed voids and composite masonry units (clause 6).
Three procedures for the determination of thermal resistance and/or thermal conductivity are described. These procedures are:
- To use tabulated lambda - and/or R-values.
- To measure the lambda - and/or R-value.
- To calculate the equivalent lambda - and/or R-value.
It takes into account the major different types of masonry products:
- Solid masonry units.
- Masonry units with formed voids.
- Composite masonry units.
The design value of a product characteristic is the value determined for specific application and for use in calculations.
Design thermal values are determined, according to the procedure given in this standard by the user/designer and building authority according to the intended application, environmental and climatic conditions, bearing in mind the purpose of this determination, such as:
- energy consumption;
- design of heating and cooling equipment;
- surface temperature determination;
- compliance with national building codes;
- consideration of non steady state thermal conditions in buildings.
A specific building product can have different design thermal values according to the intended application. Normally the producers/distributors will supply design values for their products.

This European Standard applies to waste water drainage systems which operate under gravity. It is applicable for drainage systems inside dwellings, commercial, institutional and industrial buildings.
Differences in plumbing within Europe have led to a variety of systems being developed. Some of the major systems in use are described but this standard has not attempted to detail the intricacies of each system. Detailed information additional to that contained in this standard may be obtained by referring to the technical documents listed in annex A.
This first part of the standard establishes the general and performance requirements for waste water gravity drainage systems. It makes limited provision for pipework conveying trade effluent and for fluids removed by pumps.

This text, now in its second edition, offers an up-to-date, expanded treatment of the behaviour of polymers with regard to material variables and test and use conditions. It highlights general principles, useful empirical rules and practical equations.;Detailing the specific behaviour of many common polymers, the text: places emphasis on time and frequency dependence over temperature dependence; uses contemporary molecular mechanisms to explain creep, stress relaxation, constant strain rate responses and crazing; provides explicit equations to predict responses; supplies a discussion of large deformation multiaxial responses; compares statistical and continuum theories on the same data set; and updates stress-strain behaviour and particulate filled systems.

Milton Ohring's Engineering Materials Science integrates the scientific nature and modern applications of all classes of engineering materials. This comprehensive, introductory textbook will provide undergraduate engineering students with the fundamental background needed to understand the science of structure-property relationships, as well as address the engineering concerns of materials selection in design, processing materials into useful products, andhow material degrade and fail in service. Specific topics include: physical and electronic structure; thermodynamics and kinetics; processing; mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties; degradation; and failure and reliability. The book offers superior coverage of electrical, optical, and magnetic materials than competing text. The author has taught introductory courses in material science and engineering both in academia and industry (AT&T Bell Laboratories) and has also written the well-received book, The Material Science of Thin Films (Academic Press).
