EXPLORING THE BLACK BOX Technology Economics and History

Contents are almost as new. ; 8-3/4" Tall ix 274pp. PAPER COVERS. Cover is considerably lighter than posterboard. TECHNICAL. The purpose of Rosenberg's ".previous book INSIDE THE BLACK BOX was to break open and to examine the contents of the black box into which technological change has been consigned by economists. The economics of technological change is a subject that is still seriously befuddled by the failure to come to grips with the immense diversity of the contents of the black box. The present work represents a continuation of the intellectual 'unpacking' that was central to INSIDE THE BLACK BOX. This book attempts to show how technological change is generated and the processes by which improved technologies are introduced into economic activity. This is a far more complex process than it is often made out to be largely because much of the reasoniing and modelling of technological change hopelessly oversimplifies its component parts. The process of technological change takes a wide variety of forms so that propositions that might for instance be accurate when referring to the pharmaceutical industry are likely to be totally inappropriate when applied to the aircraft industry or to computers or forest products. Professor Rosenberg pays particular attention to the nature of the research process out of which new technologies have emerged. A central theme of the book is the idea that technological changes are often 'path dependent' in the sense that their form and direction tend to be influenced strongly by the particular sequence of earlier events out of which a new technology has emerged.

"The purpose of this monograph is to consider the stochastic flow of message traffic in connected networks of communication centers. The networks considered are channel-capacity limited and consequently the measure of performance is taken to be the average delay encounted by a message in passing through the net. Questions pertaining to the assignment of channel capacities effect of priority discipline choice of routing procedure and design of topological structure are considered. " . "For the student or worker involved in problems of message flow either in computer or more general communications systems Leonard Kleinrock presents a model for calculation that deals with the various realistic factors that need to be considered. His presentation is clear and insightful and will greatly aid in either understanding or extending useful work in this very important field of today. " 55 figures. Bibliography. Index. .

No DJ. ; 8-1/2" Tall xi 222pp. Dark blue cloth white spine & front cover lettering. TECHNICAL. "The value of the Laplace transform in transient circuit analysis is so great that its incorporation in undergraduate courses and undergraduate texts appears both logical and inevitable. This book is based on the assumption that such use of the Laplace transform is both desirable and feasible. The transform concept used freely throught the text has been discussed with what is believed to be an adequate degree of rigor. At the same time the Classical method of treating transient circuit problems - by the conventional methods of solving differential equations - has not been overlooked. In order to give the student the benefit of an acquaintance with both treatments and to show the relationships between the Laplace and Classical methods both have been employed in accordance with the character of the particular topic under discussion. " The Chapters: Introduction; The Laplace Transform; Simple applications of the transform; Compound switching and transition transients; The RLC circuit; A-C applied Emf's; Miscellaneou s applied Emf's; Repeated and discontinuous Emf functions; Vacuum-tube circuits. Appendixes: Brief list of Laplace transforms; Theorms; Hyperbolic functions. Index. Hundreds of figures. . MacMillan hardcover

" A compilation of articles and information published previously in HEATING/PIP ING/AIR CONDITIONING the Penton/IPC magazine for mechanical systems engineering and energy management. " . "It is estimated that there are about 100 000 old inefficent boilers and approimately 200 000 out-dated burners in the commercial institutional and governmental buildings and millions of miles of uninsulated piping; all of these were installed when energy was cheap and thought to be plentiful and inexhaustible. Much of this equipiment operates at 60 to 70 percent efficiency and consumes millions of gallons of oil and millions of cubic feet of natural gas more than is necessary. By renovating them and by coupling this with other measures such as the applicatioin of insulation installing solar heating panels and high efficiency air conditioners the total energy consumption can be reduced by 30 percent or more. " Some contents: The need for energy conservation; Planning for energy conservation; Designing the systems for Energy Conservation; Replacement modernization and upgrading systems for energy conservation; Proven ways to save energy; Future opportunities & limitations.
