This volume provides valuable insight into diverse topics related
to mechanical engineering and presents state-of-the-art work on
sustainable development being carried out throughout the world by
budding researchers and scientists. Divided into three sections,
the volume covers machine design, materials and manufacturing, and
thermal engineering. It presents innovative research work on
machine design that is of relevance to such varied fields as the
automotive industry, agriculture, and human anatomy. The second
section addresses materials characterization, an important tool in
assessing proper materials for application-oriented jobs, and
emerging unconventional machining processes that are important in
design engineering for new products and tools. The section on
thermal engineering broadly covers the use of viable alternate
fuels, such as HHO, biodiesel, etc., with the objective of reducing
the burden on petroleum reserves and the environment.

This book teaches salespeople to rethink their approach to sales
goals--so they not only sell a greater quantity but sell with the
bottom line in mind. In the high-pressure quest to make a sale,
acquire a contract, and beat out other bidders, sales professionals
frequently resort to short-term strategies like cutting prices,
offering discounts, or making other concessions. By explaining how
short-term strategies are destructive to the long-term
sustainability of a business, High-Profit Selling helps salespeople
instead focus their energy on "profit sales" that successfully
execute product price increases while maintaining and strengthening
current customer relationships. In this invaluable resource, you'll
learn: how to avoid negotiating, actively listen to customers,
match the benefits of products or services with customers' needs
and pains, confidently communicate value, and ensure prospects are
serious and not shopping for price. Too many salespeople believe
that a sale at any price is better than no sale at all. High-Profit
Selling teaches them to do away with this logic and instead make
sales that satisfy and add value to both the client and company.
Air pollution is recognized as one of the leading contributors
to the global environmental burden of disease, even in countries
with relatively low concentrations of air pollution. Air Pollution:
Health and Environmental Impacts examines the effect of this
complex problem on human health and the environment in different
settings around the world. It not only covers general modeling,
monitoring, and characterization techniques but also includes field
studies and cases that offer valuable insight into region-specific
issues.
With contributions from a distinguished group of international
experts, the book explores ways of controlling air pollution and
mitigating its adverse effects on human health and the environment.
Often taking a regional and global perspective, it discusses the
monitoring and source characterization of air pollution, the theory
and application of air quality modeling, health effects and risk
assessment, and the environmental impacts of air pollution. The
book also addresses air quality management and relevant policy
issues.
Along with providing an understanding of the scientific basis of
air pollution, this volume helps readers better appreciate social
and environmental determinants of public health and apply
country-based research evidence to reduce health disparities and
environmental inequalities. It also encourages future research and
policy action on the health and environmental consequences of air
pollution from the local to global level.
Search engines and social media have changed how prospecting
pipelines for salespeople are built today, but the vitality of the
pipeline itself has not. The key to success for every salesperson
is his pipeline of prospects. In High-Profit Prospecting, sales
expert Mark Hunter shatters costly prospecting myths and eliminates
confusion about what works today. Merging new strategies with
proven practices that unfortunately many have given up (much to
their demise), this must-have resource for salespeople in every
industry will help you: Find better leads and qualify them quickly
Trade cold calling for informed calling Tailor your timing and
message Leave a great voicemail and craft a compelling email Use
social media effectively Leverage referrals Get past gatekeepers
and open new doors Top producers are still prospecting. However,
buyers have evolved, therefore your prospecting needs to as well.
For the salesperson, prospecting is still king. Take back control
of your pipeline for success!
Modeling and Mitigation Measures for Managing Extreme
Hydrometeorological Events Under a Warming Climate explores the
most recent computational tools, modeling frameworks, and critical
data analysis measures for managing extreme climate events. Extreme
climate events-primarily floods and droughts-have had major
consequences in terms of loss of life and property around the
world. Managing extreme occurrences, reducing their effects, and
establishing adaptation strategies requires significant policy and
planning improvements. This practical guide explores the latest
research literature, recent advanced modeling approaches, and
fundamental ideas and concepts to provide a variety of solutions
for managing extreme events.
Find out how to implement the REST architecture to build resilient
software in Java with the help of the Spring 5.0 framework. Key
Features Follow best practices and explore techniques such as
clustering and caching to achieve a reactive, scalable web service.
Leverage the Spring Framework to quickly implement RESTful
endpoints. Learn to implement a client library for a RESTful web
service using the Spring Framework along with the new front end
framework. Book DescriptionREST is an architectural style that
tackles the challenges of building scalable web services. In
today's connected world, APIs have taken a central role on the web.
APIs provide the fabric through which systems interact, and REST
has become synonymous with APIs.The depth, breadth, and ease of use
of Spring makes it one of the most attractive frameworks in the
Java ecosystem. Marrying the two technologies is therefore a very
natural choice.This book takes you through the design of RESTful
web services and leverages the Spring Framework to implement these
services. Starting from the basics of the philosophy behind REST,
you'll go through the steps of designing and implementing an
enterprise-grade RESTful web service. Taking a practical approach,
each chapter provides code samples that you can apply to your own
circumstances.This second edition brings forth the power of the
latest Spring 5.0 release, working with MVC built-in as well as the
front end framework. It then goes beyond the use of Spring to
explores approaches to tackle resilience, security, and scalability
concerns. Improve performance of your applications with the new
HTTP 2.0 standards. You'll learn techniques to deal with security
in Spring and discover how to implement unit and integration test
strategies.Finally, the book ends by walking you through building a
Java client for your RESTful web service, along with some scaling
techniques using the new Spring Reactive libraries. What you will
learn Deep dive into the principles behind REST Expose CRUD
operations through RESTful endpoints with the Spring Framework
Devise response formats and error handling strategies, offering a
consistent and flexible structure to simplify integration for
service consumers Follow the best approaches for dealing with a
service's evolution while maintaining backward compatibility
Understand techniques to secure web services Comply with the best
ways to test RESTful web services, including tips for load testing
Optimise and scale web services using techniques such as caching
and clustering Who this book is forThis book is intended for those
who want to learn to build RESTful web services with the latest
Spring 5.0 Framework. To make best use of the code samples included
in the book, you should have a basic knowledge of the Java
language. Previous experience with the Spring Framework would also
help you get up and running quickly.
