Sommario/riassunto |

What biological agents should we truly be afraid of? Which have garnered more attention than they warrant? <i>Emerging Biological Threats: A Reference Guide</i> is the antidote for the confusion surrounding the potentially devastating impact of pathogens on the human community. Written by a frontline professional in epidemiology, it is the most authoritative yet engagingly written resource available on the real risks we face, and the countermeasures used to confront them. <i>Emerging Biological Threats</i> provides the information needed to understand significant direct threats to human he |

Sommario/riassunto |

"In support of the latest automotive challenges in terms of weight reduction, I wrote this book in an attempt to lay out the true opportunities for alternative material utility in automobiles and to offer the most up-to-date design guidance in efficient architectures |

supported with the application of AHSS while exploring weight savings and resulting fuel economy advantages of this strategy. Realistic comparisons with other alternative materials are made through detailed analysis. Many projects that I have been part of will be explored to demonstrate how AHSS [advanced high-strength Steels ] technology has developed and to get us to the foothills of the mountain that we, as automobile design people, now must climb."--Preface. |
