Sommario/riassunto

Significant refinements of biogeochemical methods applied to mineral exploration have been made during more than twenty years since the last major publication on this technique.  This innovative, practical and comprehensive text is designed as a field handbook and an office reference volume.  It outlines the historical development of biogeochemical methods applied to mineral exploration, and provides details of what, how, why and when to collect samples from all major climatic environments with examples from around the world.  Recent commercialization of sophisticated analytical technology per

Sommario/riassunto

This book was written by a team of leading gear experts from across the globe, including contributions from USA, Germany, Poland, China, Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. It provides readers with the latest accomplishments in the gear theory and gear cutting tool design. Specialists can apply competencies gained from this book to quality control in gear manufacture, as well as to the conditions of their production. The book begins with a detailed discussion of the kinematics and geometry of geometrically-accurate gears and gear systems. This is followed by an analysis of state-of-the-art gear manufacturing methods with focus on gear finishing operations. Novel designs of gear transmission systems as well as gear theory and gear cutting tool design are also covered. .
