Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You Can Map the Stress Currents in Your Life! The only stress measurement tool that integrates all major research—medical, psychological, and interpersonal—STRESSMAP gives you a revealing self-portrait of the state of your stress health. It helps your chart your personal strengths and weaknesses, discover which stressors work foryou rather than against you, and learn new ways to cope and relax. It's so easy to use! First, you complete (in less than an hour, usually) the STRESSMAP Self-Scoring Questionnaire. Its 300 sometimes surprising questions pinpoint, in 21 key areas, stress factors in your environment, your coping responses, your inner world of thoughts, an you signals of distress. Then you translate your responses to the ingenious STRESSMAP Self-Scoring Grid, connect the dots, and get an instant "snapshot" of your strengths and weaknesses from burn-out to optimal performance. Finally, in the Interpretation and Action Planning section, you follow the directions and the more than 100 simply written, effective counseling tips to learn how to handle pressure... on the job and at home. In Esquire magazine, John Poppy advised: "Use StressMap's sthree modules to rate how you think you're doing, graph your strong and weak points ,and consider ways of shifting behavior if you want healthier patterns." "Stress can ultimately be positive," says Esther Orioli. "It's the essential ingredient in optimal performance and can be our strongest ally for leading stimulating, healthy, satisfying lives."
Download or read book Practical Residual Stress Measurement Methods written by Gary S. Schajer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-09-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introductory and intermediate level handbook written in pragmatic style to explain residual stresses and to provide straightforward guidance about practical measurement methods. Residual stresses play major roles in engineering structures, with highly beneficial effects when designed well, and catastrophic effects when ignored. With ever-increasing concern for product performance and reliability, there is an urgent need for a renewed assessment of traditional and modern measurement techniques. Success critically depends on being able to make the most practical and effective choice of measurement method for a given application. Practical Residual Stress Measurement Methods provides the reader with the information needed to understand key residual stress concepts and to make informed technical decisions about optimal choice of measurement technique. Each chapter, written by invited specialists, follows a focused and pragmatic format, with subsections describing the measurement principle, residual stress evaluation, practical measurement procedures, example applications, references and further reading. The chapter authors represent both international academia and industry. Each of them brings to their writing substantial hands-on experience and expertise in their chosen field. Fully illustrated throughout, the book provides a much-needed practical approach to residual stress measurements. The material presented is essential reading for industrial practitioners, academic researchers and interested students. Key features: • Presents an overview of the principal residual stress measurement methods, both destructive and non-destructive, with coverage of new techniques and modern enhancements of established techniques • Includes stand-alone chapters, each with its own figures, tables and list of references, and written by an invited team of international specialists
Download or read book Measuring ROI in Environment Health and Safety written by Jack J. Phillips and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-01-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the most successful evaluation system in the world for measuring impact and ROI—the ROI Methodology—learn how to measure the success of all business programs and projects involving environmental initiatives, health-related programs for employees and citizens, and various safety programs in all types of settings Few topics are more important than the health and safety of employees, associates, and citizens. Organizations focus a tremendous amount of money/resources on maintaining a zero-harm approach to its employees, the greater community, and the surrounding environment. At the same time, organizations are implementing many types of wellness and fitness programs ensuring that employees remain healthy, safe, and productive. Measuring ROI in Environment, Health, and Safety shows how to measure the success of all types of programs and projects involving environmental initiatives, health-related programs for employees and citizens, and various safety programs in all types of settings. Environmental efforts, or green projects, can represent value for organizations. Eighty percent can deliver a positive ROI, and the other 20 percent are often required by regulation. In either case, it is critical to understand whether or not these projects are working. This new book will show step-by-step how to measure the success of many types of green programs. Within an organization, responsibility for environment, health, and safety is often under the direction of the same executive team. Their concern is always about how well the programs are working and, more importantly, what can be done to ensure that they are more successful. ROI in Environment, Health, and Safety introduces the ROI Methodology, now used by over 4,000 organizations, and the most successful and utilized evaluation system in the world for measuring program impact and ROI. It shows step-by-step how to capture the reaction to the various initiatives and programs a firm may institute, the learning necessary to make them successful, progress in terms of application and implementation, the specific business impact measures driven by these programs, and, finally, the financial ROI. Along the way, data is collected for process improvement to ensure that if certain programs are not working, they can be adjusted for success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Treatise on Geophysics: Crust and Lithosphere Dynamics, Volume 6, provides a comprehensive review of the state of knowledge on crust and lithosphere dynamics, which is defined as the study of how the outermost layers of the Earth respond to loads that are emplaced on, within, and below it and its implications for plate mechanics and mantle flow. The book begins with a chapter on plate kinematics, which shows how new observations and methodologies have improved the resolution of relative and absolute plate motions. This is followed by studies of plate mechanics, focusing on the long-term rheology of the plates and response of the plates to both relatively short-term and long-term loads. The book also includes chapters that examine the evidence from surface heat flow, borehole breakouts, and magma models for the thermal and mechanical structure of the lithosphere; the deformation of the lithosphere in extensional and compressional settings. The final two chapters deal with the structural styles of faulting in the shallow brittle part of the lithosphere, the brittle-ductile transition, and the shear zone in the ductile part of the lithosphere; and how developments in plate mechanics have impacted our understanding of geological processes. - Self-contained volume starts with an overview of the subject then explores each topic with in depth detail - Extensive reference lists and cross references with other volumes to facilitate further research - Full-color figures and tables support the text and aid in understanding - Content suited for both the expert and non-expert
