Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
The "Internal Audit Handbook" is a comprehensive, up-to-date
presentation of the tasks and challenges facing internal audit. The
handbook is based on the audit work of SAPA(R)'s global internal
audit department, which obtained the highest score available,
"Generally Conforms," during a quality assessment review performed
by the Institute of Internal Auditors. It presents the Audit
Roadmap, the process model of internal auditing developed at
SAPA(R), describing all stages of an audit. The in-depth
description provides information on issues such as the
identification of audit fields, the annual audit planning, the
organization and execution of audits as well as reporting and
follow-up. The handbook also discusses management-related subjects,
e.g. the organizational structure of an internal audit department.
Separate chapters are dedicated to special topics like IT or SOX
audits. The book also includes a CD for computer-based learning
containing templates to put specific elements of theory into
practice. Since the handbook is based on practical experience and
gives numerous examples from audit practice it may serve as a guide
to internal auditing for persons new in the field as well as
provide experienced internal audit professionals with new insights.
New Waves in Philosophy of Science captures the diverse array of
issues in the rapidly developing area of philosophy of science by
bringing together a pool of talented young philosophers from across
the globe to debate the field and show where it's heading.
To control mechanical processes one needs to obtain information about the state of the system, to process the information, and then to act on the results. Originally, the simplest controls were purely mechanical feedback systems; more complex systems required human intervention. At present, most controls are provided by purely electromechanical systems, but there are also many situations in which one needs sophisticated measurements for later analysis.
Developments in electronic information processing have over the past few decades far outpaced the developments in the sensors and actuators that provide the input and output of the control systems; as a result, the transducers account for the major part of the expense, mass, and failure points of many modern machines. Improvements in control systems thus depend on a clear and thorough understanding of the principles of transducers. It is the aim of this book to help meet that need. Unlike other treatments of sensors or actuators, this book approaches the devices from the point of view of the fundamental coupling mechanism between the electrical and mechanical behavior. Thus, for example, a solenoid can b used either to detect horizontal motion and position (i.e. as a sensor), or to impose a motion on a piston (i.e. as an actuator); the principles of operation of the solenoid are the same in both cases, and this book thus treats them together.
The book begins with a discussion of systems analysis as a tool for modeling transducers. It then turns to a detailed discussion of transduction mechanisms (electric and magnetic fields, piezo- and pyro-electric effects, electromagnetic induction, and so forth). The book concludes with an input/output analysis of transducers.
