Manufactured Gas Plant Remediation: A Case Study
by Allen W. Hatheway Thomas B. SpeightThe assessment, remediation, and redevelopment of manufactured gas plant (MGP) sites pose a significant technical and financial challenge to successor property owners, including municipalities and other public entities undertaking brownfields revitalization, and to their consulting environmental engineers. Due to the toxicity of many coal tar constituents, sites contaminated as a result of gasworks operations pose a significant threat to public health. This book will discuss the history of the manufactured gas industry in Massachusetts (the largest in the US), as well as the toxicity of gasworks waste products, technical challenges in the cleanup process, and the process for site cleanups.
A Manufactured Plague: The History of Foot-and-mouth Disease in Britain
by Abigail WoodsFoot and mouth disease (FMD) is currently regarded as one of the world's worst animal plagues. But how did this label become attached to a curable disease that poses little threat to human health? And why, in the epidemic of 2001, did the government's control strategy still rely upon Victorian trade restrictions and mass slaughter? This groundbreaking and well-researched book shows that, for over a century, FMD has brought fear, tragedy and sorrow- damaging businesses and affecting international relations. Yet these effects were neither inevitable nor caused by FMD itself but were, rather, the product of the legislation used to control it, and in this sense FMD is a 'manufactured' plague rather than a natural one. A Manufactured Plague turns the spotlight on this process of manufacture, revealing a rich history beset by controversy, in which party politics, class relations, veterinary ambitions, agricultural practices, the priorities of farming and the meat trade, fears for national security and scientific progress all made FMD what it is today.

Manufacturing Automation
by Yusuf AltintasMetal Cutting is one of the most widely used methods of producing the final shape of manufactured products. The technology involved in metal cutting operations has advanced considerably in recent years, along with developments in materials, computers, and sensors. This book treats the scientific principles of metal cutting and their practical application to solving problems encountered in manufacturing. The subjects of mathematics, physics, computers, and instrumentation are discussed as integration tools in analyzing or designing machine tools and manufacturing processes. The book begins with the fundamentals of metal cutting mechanics. The basic principles of vibration and experimental modal analysis are applied to solving problems on the shop floor. A special feature is the in-depth coverage of chatter vibrations, a problem experienced daily by practicing manufacturing engineers. The essential topics of programming, design, and automation of computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools, numerically controlled (NC) programming, and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology are discussed. The text also covers the selection of drive actuators, feedback sensors, the modeling and control of feed drives, the design of real-time trajectory generation and interpolation algorithms, and CNC-oriented error analysis in detail. Each chapter includes examples drawn from industry, design projects, and homework problems. Advanced undergraduate arid graduate students, and practicing engineers as well, will find in this book a clear and thorough way to learn the engineering principles of metal cutting mechanics, machine tool vibrations, CNC system design, sensor-assisted machining, and CAD/CAM technology.
