Dieses Buch, geschrieben von Autoren mit langjähriger Forschungs- und Beratungserfahrung, bietet den Leserinnen und Lesern einen Überblick über Gefahren - und Nutzen - statischer Elektrizität im industriellen Umfeld. Nach einer Diskussion der Grundlagen zum Verständnis insbesondere von Zündungen infolge elektrostatischer Entladungen untersucht das Buch die Ursachen derartiger Entladungen in der Industrie, wie sie etwa beim Transport von Schüttgütern, Flüssigkeiten oder Kunststoffbahnen auftreten. Der größte Teil des Buches behandelt die Messung statischer Elektrizität, die Vermeidung unerwünschter Entladungen und Gefahrenabwehr unter verschiedenen Bedingungen. Fallstudien aus der Praxis untermauern die Darlegungen, und zusätzliche Videos, erhältlich unter www.wiley-vch.de/ISBN9783527341283, illustrieren die teils drastischen Effekte statischer Entladungen. Die Interessenten: - Studenten aller Fachrichtungen, in denen Elektrostatik zu beachten ist - Konstrukteure und Betreiber von Anlagen im Bereich der Chemie und der Mineralölverarbeitung - Hersteller und Anwender von Kunststoffen - Alle, die mit empfindlichen elektronischen Geräten umgehen - Präsumtive Erfinder, die elektrostatische Möglichkeiten nutzen wollen - Lehrkräfte an Schulen und Hochschulen - Prüfstellen, aufsichtsführende Behörden, Berufsgenossenschaften, Sachversicherer

The idea of The Fingerprint Sourcebook originated during a meeting in April 2002. Individuals representing the fingerprint, academic, and scientific communities met in Chicago, Illinois, for a day and a half to discuss the state of fingerprint identification with a view toward the challenges raised by Daubert issues. The meeting was a joint project between the International Association for Identification (IAI) and West Virginia University (WVU). One recommendation that came out of that meeting was a suggestion to create a sourcebook for friction ridge examiners, that is, a single source of researched information regarding the subject. This sourcebook would provide educational, training, and research information for the international scientific community.

Discusses the technological change and financial innovation that commercial banking has experienced during the past 25 years. Describes the role of the financial system in economies and how technological change and financial innovation can improve social welfare. Surveys the literature relating to several specific financial innovations, which are new products or services, production processes, or organizational forms. The past quarter century has been a period of substantial change in terms of banking products, services, and production technologies. Moreover, while much effort has been devoted to understanding the characteristics of users and adopters of financial innovations, we still know little about how and why financial innovations are initially developed.
