In his fourth book, Federico Paolini presents a series of essays ranging from the uses of natural resources, to environmental problems caused by means of transport, to issues concerning environmental politics and the dynamics of the environment movement. Paolini concludes the book with a forecast about the environmental problems that will emerge in the public debate of the twenty-first century"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aHistory of the urban environment. 606 $aUrbanization$xEnvironmental aspects$zItaly$xHistory 607 $aItaly$xEnvironmental conditions$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUrbanization$xEnvironmental aspects$xHistory. 676 $a307.760945 700 $aPaolini$b Federico$f1972-$0139887 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480614303321 996 $aEnvironment and urbanization in modern Italy$92066063 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04084nam a2200313Ii 4500 001 991003238759707536 008 070806s2004 enka s 001 0 eng d 020 $a9780750664325 020 $a0750664320 035 $ab13653581-39ule_inst 040 $aBibl.

Unlike the majority of books in this field, only a minimal prior knowledge of mathematical methods is assumed. The book focuses on providing a comprehensive introduction to the subject, with Laplace presented in a simple and easily accessible form, complimented by an outline of the mathematics that would be required to progress to more advanced levels of study. Taking a highly practical approach, Bill Bolton combines underpinning theory with numerous case studies and applications throughout, to enable the reader to apply the content directly to real-world engineering contexts. Coverage includes smart instrumentation, DAQ, crucial health and safety considerations, and practical issues such as noise reduction, maintenance and testing. An introduction to PLCs and ladder programming is incorporated in the text, as well as new information introducing the various software programmes used for simulation. Problems with a full answer section are also included, to aid the readers self-assessment and learning, and a companion website (for lecturers only) at http://textbooks.elsevier.com features an Instructors Manual including multiple choice questions, further assignments with detailed solutions, as well as additional teaching resources. The overall approach of this book makes it an ideal text for all introductory level undergraduate courses in control engineering and instrumentation. It is fully in line with latest syllabus requirements, and also covers, in full, the requirements of the Instrumentation & Control Principles and Control Systems & Automation units of the new Higher National Engineering syllabus from Edexcel. * Assumes minimal prior mathematical knowledge, creating a highly accessible student-centred text * Problems, case studies and applications included throughout, with a full set of answers at the back of the book, to aid student learning, and place theory in real-world engineering contexts * Free online lecturer resources featuring supporting notes, multiple-choice tests, lecturer handouts and further assignments and solutions 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aAutomatic control 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 776 1 $cOriginal$z0750664320$z9780750664325$w(OCoLC)55706782 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750664325$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 907 $a.b13653581$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003238759707536 996 $aInstrumentation and control systems$91212938 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$genk$h0$i0
