Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - According to Pinkerton-the leading provider of risk management services in the world-workplace violence is second only to cybersecurity as the top threat faced by organizations today. Incidents involving active shooters in the workplace are on the rise and becoming more violent and deadly. Active Shooter provides the tools necessary to identify potential violent individuals, along with the options and responses needed to save lives, reduce corporate liability, and recover from an active shooter event should it happen. Active Shooter begins with a brief history of active shooters and how they have changed over time. It shows why many perpetrators initiate attacks, what they often are thinking, and some of the indicators that could have been identified prior to the attack. The book shows how to develop an active shooter program in an organization, walking readers through the entire process including training exercises to test the efficiency of the program. With the uniquely private security perspective, Active Shooter illustrates how to communicate with law enforcement, government agencies, and the media in the event of active shooter incident. The book concludes with a discussion of how organizations can recover promptly after an incident, which is crucial for operational survival.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) (PET) is an industrially important material which is not treated specifically in any other book. Poly(Ethylene Terephthalate) Based Blends, Composites and Nanocomposites fills this gap and systematically guides the reader through all aspects of PET and its blends, composites and nanocomposites. It covers theoretical fundamentals, nanocomposites preparation, modification techniques, structure-property relationships, characterisation of the different blends and composites, and material choice for specific applications. Consisting of contributions from experts in the field this book is a useful reference for the researchers and engineers working on the development and characterization of PET materials as well as on implementing them in real-world products. It can also be used as a standard reference for deeper insight in the mechanical, thermal, thermo-mechanical and visco-elastic aspects in product design decisions.\* Provides a systematic overview on all types of poly(ethylene) terephthalate (PET) based blends, composites and nanocomposites \* Informs about characterization, structure-property relationships and types of modifications \* Links material properties to specific applications, enabling engineers to make the best material choice to increase product performance and cost efficiency, in industries ranging from aerospace to energy.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Custom design, manufacture, and deployment of new high performance materials for advanced technologies is critically dependent on the availability of invertible, high fidelity, structure-property-processing (SPP) linkages. Establishing these presents a major challenge because these linkages need to cover unimaginably large dimensional spaces. Materials Informatics demonstrates how it is now possible to automate the acquisition of fairly large experimental datasets and apply sophisticated numerical models on these datasets to examine their response during various processing (manufacturing) steps and/or service conditions, thereby helping to speed up the time needed for the design, development and deployment of important new materials. \* Addresses a critical gap in new materials research and development by presenting a rigorous statistical framework for the quantification of microstructure \* Contains several case studies illustrating the use of modern data analytic tools on microstructure datasets (both experimental and modeling).
