9-12Cr Heat-Resistant Steels (Engineering Materials)
by Wei Wang Wei Yan Yiyin Shan Ke Yang Wei ShaWith China becoming a major force in steel research and development, this book highlights the work of a group from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by the first four authors. This group has the ideal knowledge base for writing this updated book on heat-resistant steels. The fifth author, Sha, based in the UK, has been collaborating with the Chinese group since 2009 and is the lead or sole author of four research books, all published in English. The last book, "Steels: from materials science to structural engineering," was published by Springer in 2013. Within two months of its publication, researchers at the University of Science and Technology Liaoning had requested translation of the book into Chinese. Springer obliged, and the Chinese version was published by the Metallurgical Industry Press, Beijing, in August 2014. Sha has organized and completed the writing of the proposed book, though the main research was done in China.
9 to 5
by Edward Balkovich Gordon Bitko Tora K. BiksonDescribes a case study of six enterprises that use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags to control access in the workplace to understand their policies about personally identifiable records obtained by sensing RFID-based access cards. These policies have a number of common features, but the policies are neither documented nor shared with employees. While employees ought to be informed about uses of access control system records, implementing traditional fair information practices for such records would be impractical in some situations.
The 90-Day ISO 9000 Manual
by Peter Mauch James Stewart Frank StrakaDesigned and written by professionals with extensive ISO 9000 Certification experience, the techniques and forms in this Manual have been used successfully to achieve certification at over 50 companies. The 90-Day ISO 9000 Manual provides the basic system you need in place to satisfy an ISO 9000 Audit.First, ISO 9000 is explained and the registration process described in detail. Next, you are taken through exactly what you need to do to prepare for an audit. You are given the working instructions and forms you need to meet certification requirements. The forms are unique and have been designed specifically for ISO 9000 standards.Since ISO 9000 is not designed to be a TQM program the authors have also included a special section that provides the information, instructions and forms needed for quality audits such as Q94 or Z1. If you want to take your program further than just ISO 9000 certification, the material is available to you. The 90-Day ISO 9000 Manual includes the latest published draft of Q91 DIS, which is the formal public review copy. Companies that have recently been audited have noticed that certain improvements in documentation have been expected by registrars. These improvements require rewording the old standards. The new standards have been incorporated in this manual and several schemes have been modified.The authors of The 90-Day ISO 9000 Manual have extensive experience working on ISO 9000 standards review, consulting with companies developing programs, registrar experience and international ISO 9000 activities. This manual will reflect a practical approach to registration for the next five years.

A doble ciego: Apuntes para un manual de la ignorancia
by Víctor Sombra«Una manera nueva de contar, un thriller que estremece y al mismo tiempo piensa».Belén Gopegui Un grupo de jóvenes activistas y hackers de diferente procedencia se presenta al concurso a la mejor innovación nórdica con un proyecto para recopilar datos de cualquier sistema y crear conexiones con el big data. No logran resultar premiados, pero al final del evento reciben un misterioso encargo para recabar datos sobre un medicamento y su uso en pacientes de distintos lugares del mundo. El grupo acepta sin saber apenas nada de quién les ha hecho un encargo tan bien retribuido ni para qué servirán sus resultados. Poco a poco se irán desvelando algunos engranajes de la interacción entre el sector farmacéutico y el dinero. A doble ciego es una novela negra sin disparos ni apuñalamientos, una inteligente y apasionante trama de espionaje situada entre Noruega y España en la que Sombra se adentra en las encrucijadas del big data y la producción de medicamentos, y pone de manifiesto lo que él denomina «crowdkilling»: los delitos sistémicos en los que todos participamos, los que se mimetizan con el día a día y se detectan apenas como un ruido de fondo. La crítica ha dicho:«Una manera nueva de contar, un thriller que estremece y al mismo tiempo piensa. En la partida íntima y colectiva que los personajes juegan contra su destino, dos preguntas: ¿por qué empezó a parecer normal que una parte de la industria farmacéutica se convirtiera en máquina de guerra contra la vida?, y ¿por qué empezó a parecer inverosímil la resistencia?».Belén Gopegui «Subvierte los géneros con un lenguaje que parece sacado de la ciencia, la tecnología, los sistemas informáticos y la teoría de juegos. Y utiliza estas herramientas iluminar estructuras tan complejas como la industria farmacéutica. A diferencia de tantos de sus colegas Sombra siempre sabe de lo que habla».Gonzalo Torné Sobre su obra anterior:«Un novelista riguroso y muy sutil en la defensa de la novela como arma de reflexión social y estética».J. Ernesto Ayala-Dip, Babelia«Víctor Sombra es uno de los narradores más inconformes, más sólidos intelectualmente, más severamente escrutadores también, e interpeladores, del panorama literario español».Ignacio Echevarría, El Cultural «Sombra enfrenta las razones de las personas a las de los organismos, integrando con asombrosa y rara fluidez extensas disquisiciones prácticamente ensayísticas al desarrollo de una trama apasionante».Gabi Martínez, Qué leer
