The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Taylor

The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Taylor

Read the American classic that inspired Shigeo Shingo! Frederick W. Taylor's The Principles of Scientific Managementwas a mental revolution that spawned the very ideas of process improvement equity and efficiency between workers and management and the attainability of high production with low labor costs. Taylor discusses eliminating waste by using the system he developed over the course of his career and how it applies to individual as well as collective improvement initiatives. As the basis of modern organizational efficiency this instrumental book has motivated managers and engineers for almost 100 years. | The Principles of Scientific Management by Frederick Taylor

Principles of Dramaturgy

Principles of Dramaturgy

In Principles of Dramaturgy Robert Scanlan explains the invariant principles behind the construction of stage and performance events of any style or modality. This book contains all that is essential for training a professional stage director and/or dramaturg including the plot-bead technique for analyzing play scripts developed by Scanlan. It details all the steps for the full implementation of Production Dramaturgy as it is practiced in professional theatres and treats form and action as foundational cornerstones of all performance rather than story elements – a frequent and debilitating misprision in theatre practice. Scanlan’s unique approach offers practical training that is supported by detailed diagrams and contextualized instructions making this the missing text for classes in dramaturgy. Serving stage directors dramaturgs actors designers and playwrights Principles of Dramaturgy is a comprehensive guide that puts the training of capable practitioners above all else.

Principles of Scientific Methods

Principles of Scientific Methods

Principles of Scientific Methods focuses on the fundamental principles behind scientific methods. The book refers to science in a broad sense including natural science physics mathematics statistics social science political science and engineering science. A principle is often abstract and has broad applicability while a method is usually concrete and specific. The author uses many concrete examples to explain principles and presents analogies to connect different methods or problems to arrive at a general principle or a common notion. He mainly discusses a particular method to address the great idea behind the method not the method itself. The book shows how the principles are not only applicable to scientific research but also to our daily lives. The author explains how scientific methods are used for understanding how and why things happen making predictions and learning how to prevent mistakes and solve problems. Studying the principles of scientific methods is to think about thinking and to enlighten our understanding of scientific research. Scientific principles are the foundation of scientific methods. In this book you‘ll see how the principles reveal the big ideas behind our scientific discoveries and reflect the fundamental beliefs and wisdoms of scientists. The principles make the scientific methods coherent and constitute the source of creativity.

X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications

X-ray diffraction is a useful and powerful analysis technique for characterizing crystalline materials commonly employed in MSE physics and chemistry. This informative new book describes the principles of X-ray diffraction and its applications to materials characterization. It consists of three parts. The first deals with elementary crystallography and optics which is essential for understanding the theory of X-ray diffraction discussed in the second section of the book. Part 2 describes how the X-ray diffraction can be applied for characterizing such various forms of materials as thin films single crystals and powders. The third section of the book covers applications of X-ray diffraction. The book presents a number of examples to help readers better comprehend the subject. X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research: From Fundamentals to Applications also • provides background knowledge of diffraction to enable nonspecialists to become familiar with the topics• covers the practical applications as well as the underlying principle of X-ray diffraction• presents appropriate examples with answers to help readers understand the contents more easily• includes thin film characterization by X-ray diffraction with relevant experimental techniques• presents a huge number of elaborately drawn graphics to help illustrate the content The book will help readers (students and researchers in materials science physics and chemistry) understand crystallography and crystal structures interference and diffraction structural analysis of bulk materials characterization of thin films and nondestructive measurement of internal stress and phase transition. Diffraction is an optical phenomenon and thus can be better understood when it is explained with an optical approach which has been neglected in other books. This book helps to fill that gap providing information to convey the concept of X-ray diffraction and how it can be applied to the materials analysis. This book will be a valuable reference book for researchers in the field and will work well as a good introductory book of X-ray diffraction for students in materials science physics and chemistry. | X-Ray Diffraction for Materials Research From Fundamentals to Applications
