Sommario/riassunto

We now know that natural signed languages such as American Sign Language, French Sign Language, British Sign Language and others are fully independent languages. But natural signed languages are only one way of conveying language in the visual/gestural modality. Signed languages also have mechanisms for representing the material of oral languages. Fingerspelling is one example of such a representational system. This book examines fingerspelling from a phonetic perspective. Several studies of the kinematics of fingerspelling articulators are reported. From these detailed analyses of articulator

Sommario/riassunto

Distortion, cracking, and residual stresses are among the most important concerns for heat treaters, manufacturing engineers, and design engineers. This work includes practical information and data to help minimize and control the effects of residual stresses and distortion. Topics covered include recommended heat treating practices, methods for maintaining temperature uniformity during heating, tips for preventing oxide formation, and techniques for measuring residual stresses, to name but a few. Designed as both a practical and theoretical reference, this book features contributions from recognized experts from around the world. Much of this data has been unavailable in the United States until now. Contents: Introduction to residual stress formation and distortion; Effects of materials and processing on residual stress formation; Design considerations, and much more.
