A balance of practical and applied material which also underpins the crucial theoretical concepts that are being applied in today's human resources. For undergraduate/graduate courses in Human Resource Management.
For introductory courses in Differential Equations. This text provides the conceptual development and geometric visualization of a modern differential equations course while maintaining the solid foundation of algebraic techniques that are still essential to science and engineering students. It reflects the new excitement in differential equations as the availability of technical computing environments likeMaple, Mathematica, and MATLAB reshape the role and applications of the discipline. New technology has motivated a shift in emphasis from traditional, manual methods to both qualitative and computer-based methods that render accessible a wider range of realistic applications. With this in mind, the text augments core skills with conceptual perspectives that students will need for the effective use of differential equations in their subsequent work and study.
In this textbook, Heizer (business administration, Texas Lutheran U.) and Render (operations management, Rollins College) provide a broad introduction to the field of operations management. A sampling of topics includes operations strategy for competitive advantage, forecasting, design of goods and services, human resources, e- commerce, project management, inventory management, and maintenance. The CD-ROM contains video case studies, lecture notes, Excel OM and Extend software, and additional practice problems. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR

Food Engineering Handbook: Food Engineering Fundamentals provides a stimulating and up-to-date review of food engineering phenomena. Combining theory with a practical, hands-on approach, this book covers the key aspects of food engineering, from mass and heat transfer to steam and boilers, heat exchangers, diffusion, and absorption. A complement to Food Engineering Handbook: Food Process Engineering, this text: Explains the interactions between different food constituents that might lead to changes in food properties Describes the characterization of the heating behavior of foods, their heat transfer, heat exchangers, and the equipment used in each food engineering method Discusses rheology, fluid flow, evaporation, and distillation and includes illustrative case studies of food behaviors Presenting cutting-edge information, Food Engineering Handbook: Food Engineering Fundamentals is an essential reference on the fundamental concepts associated with food engineering today.
