Sommario/riassunto |
|
They examine the purpose of the university, its evolution and change, its degree of autonomy, evaluations of performance and accountability, its role in guaranteeing human rights, financing, and efficiency and the influence of technology on instruction and structure - all issues that are highly relevant to university leaders and legislators who seek to form and fashion responsive and workable institutions and systems of |

higher education.The authors suggest measures needed to overcome organizational inertia and recognize the necessity of responsiveness to social and economic changes. Different aspects of worldwide human rights struggles that bear on the university are discussed - for instance the situation in South Africa, where higher education institutions are seeking to redress the misdeeds of the past. The authors also address the issue of public versus private institutional competition and the emergence of the private for-profit institution. Finally, the realities of how and to what extent technology can be relied upon to improve college and university instruction is examined. Contributors include Don Aitkin (University of Canberra, Australia), F. King Alexander (University of Illinois), Kern Alexander (University of North Florida), Michael J. Beloff (Trinity College, Oxford), Ian Clark (Council of Ontario Universities), Stephen R. Greenwald (Audrey Cohen College, New York), James J. Mingle (Cornell University), John H. Moore (Grove City College, Pennsylvania), David W. Olien (University of Wisconsin System, Madison), and David R. Woods (Rhodes University, Grahamstown, South Africa). |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Les livres consacrés à la corrosion spécifique à un domaine industriel – comme ici l’industrie chimique – sont peu nombreux et abordent principalement la définition des modes de corrosion et les principaux facteurs associés.Cet ouvrage de référence présente le sujet de manière nouvelle et originale. Pendant longtemps, la corrosion a été abordée sous le regard de telle ou telle science, or ici l’approche est pluridisciplinaire. Si le livre apporte les bases nécessaires en termes de mécanismes de corrosion, il témoigne aussi de l’évolution de la discipline, la corrosion faisant en effet converger plusieurs disciplines (la chimie et le génie chimique, la physique, la métallurgie, la plasturgie, la mécanique, l’électrochimie…). Il considère également le choix des matériaux et leur compatibilité avec les procédés de l’industrie chimique, ces considérations ne concernant pas uniquement les matériaux métalliques, comme on pourrait s’y attendre en parlant de corrosion, mais toutes les classes des matériaux. Il s’attache aussi au suivi des équipements, de leur construction et de leur utilisation en service, maillon clé sur la sécurité des procédés chimiques. Cet ouvrage à forte portée didactique est riche d’études de cas illustrant toute la complexité de la corrosion au sein de l’industrie chimique. Le livre est destiné aux techniciens et ingénieurs de l’industrie chimique (techniciens et ingénieurs de maintenance, d’inspection, de bureau d’études, de procédés et de la sécurité des procédés). |
