This new volume, Design and Construction of Laboratory Gas Pipelines: A Practical Reference for Engineers and Professionals, focuses on design and installation of laboratory gas pipelines. It instructs design engineers, laboratory managers, and installation technicians on how to source the information and specifications they require for the design and installation of laboratory gas systems suitable for their intended use. The current use of specifications predominantly taken from medical gas standards for this type of work is not always suitable; these standards are for use with medical grade gases that have a purity level of 99.5%. The purity levels required in laboratories, however, start at 99.9% for general industrial use through to 99.9995% (Ultra High Purity (UHP)) and higher. Regular medical gas standards are also unsuitable for use with the oxidizing, flammable, and, in some instances, toxic gases that are regularly encountered in laboratories. As need for gas purity increases, the methodology used to design a piping system must vary to meet those parameters, and this reference provides the necessary information and resources. There are no comprehensive single sources of technical references currently available in this market, states the author, and the generally supplied specifications provided to the construction industry are usually generic and not specifically targeted for the gases in use. The results provide extremely poor quality designs and, in some instances, unusable systems. With over 40 years of specialization in the industry from project management to systems design, testing, and commissioning of projects with values in excess of $15 million, the author comprehensively fills that gap with this rich resource. Key features * provides information on types of laboratories that use laboratory gases and the equipment needed * explains the various methods of construction and the materials used to ensure that the purity of the gases remains as supplied from the manufacturers * incorporates the design methodology used to meet the various requirements of the laboratory and the information required to ensure that the correct engineering is provided * presents information on the purity levels of the gases and the data on the equipment used for pipelines and compatibility issues * presents an example of a simple laboratory gas specification that provides guidelines on the information necessary to provide a set of design documents

The size and availability of network information has exploded over the last decade. Social scientists now share the stage of network analysis with computer scientists, physicists, and statisticians. While a number of introductions to network analysis are now available, most focus on theory, methods, or application alone. This book integrates all three. Network Analysis is an introduction to both the why and how of Social Network Analysis (SNA). It presents a broad theoretical overview rooted in social scientific approaches and guides users in how network analysis can answer core theoretical questions. It provides a comprehensive overview of descriptive and analytical approaches, including practical tutorials in R with sample data sets. Using an integrated approach, this book aims to quickly bring novice network researchers up to speed while avoiding common programming and analysis mistakes so that they might gain insight into the fundamental theories, key concepts, and methodological application of SNA.

Worldwide turmoil and chaos have caused many to turn to biblical prophecy for answers only to become confused. They then turn to those who profess to understand those prophecies and become even more confused because of the many different opinions.

Perhaps there is something major wrong with our understanding of the seven years we refer to as the tribulation. The seven seals, trumpets, and vials are twenty-one separate judgments - or are they? And they consume all seven of those years - or do they? Those seven years are filled with wrath - or are they?

A major nuclear war could account for most of God's wrath. It is now biblically possible to see how all of God's wrath will likely be confined to the last year of those seven years. Previously it was a challenge to try and fit all the many other prophesized events into those seven years. Now: The Closer We Get, the Clear the Vision makes it much easier.

The Bible is the best commentary for the Bible. This book 1 titled: Introducing the Pre-Seventh-Year Rapture Theory contains about nine hundred Bible verses and partial verses to support its conclusions with the least amount of commentary as possible for clarity.

Prepare to be utterly amazed as the results of these studies unveil concepts and possibilities that most of us have never considered or even imagined.

While some social scientists may argue that we have always been networked, the increased visibility of networks today across economic, political, and social domains can hardly be disputed. Social networks fundamentally shape our lives and social network analysis has become a vibrant, interdisciplinary field of research. In The Oxford Handbook of Social Networks, Ryan Light and James Moody have gathered forty leading scholars in sociology, archaeology, economics, statistics, and information science, among others, to provide an overview of the theory, methods, and contributions in the field of social networks. Each of the thirty-three chapters in this Handbook moves through the basics of social network analysis aimed at those seeking an introduction to advanced and novel approaches to modeling social networks statistically. They cover both a succinct background to, and future directions for, distinctive approaches to analyzing social networks. The first section of the volume consists of theoretical and methodological approaches to social networks, such as visualization and network analysis, statistical approaches to networks, and network dynamics. Chapters in the second section outline how network perspectives have contributed substantively across numerous fields, including public health, political analysis, and organizational studies. Despite the rapid spread of interest in social network analysis, few volumes capture the state-of-the-art theory, methods, and substantive contributions featured in this volume. This Handbook therefore offers a valuable resource for graduate students and faculty new to networks looking to learn new approaches, scholars interested in an overview of the field, and network analysts looking to expand their skills or substantive areas of research.
