This reference provides complete coverage of a major new technology that generates physical objects directly from a graphical computer database. Known as "Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing" (RP&M), it enables diverse industries to improve product design and part quality, bring products to market faster and reduce product development costs while boosting productivity. Focusing on StereoLithography-based RP&M developed by "3D Systems", which pioneered RP&M, this practical book introduces design and manufacturing engineers to basic RP&M principles, shows step by step how to create a StereoLithography prototype and reveals the accuracy levels that can be attained with this new technology. Case studies illustrate how leading aerospace, automotive, component and medical device manufacturers have gained a competitive edge by applying RP&M. This book also describes various alternate approaches to RP&M.

This turnkey technology source provides an introduction to rapid prototyping and manufacturing (RP&amp;M) with an emphasis on stereolithography which represents the majority of all rapid prototyping systems currently in place. The content is based on theory, analysis and experiment with extensive test data, including select case studies from the automotive, simultaneous engineering, and medical sectors.

The southeastern United States is home to the richest, most diverse freshwater mussel faunas on the planet, and Mississippi is no exception in this regard. Until fairly recent times, however, only qualitative lists of taxa were available and/or sampling was unsystematic and spotty. More recent work has taken place in waterways that have been significantly impacted by erosion, other forms of water pollution, and impoundment in modern times. Thus, even the best modern studies could benefit from a better knowledge of ranges and community characteristics as they existed prehistorically, when human impact, though present, an to this end this work presents a robust synthesis of pre-industrial mussel distributions and relative abundances in the state.

This is the sixth volume in the series of reports on investigations by the Lahav Research Project (LRP) at Tell Halif in Southern Israel. This work focuses on the Project’s efforts in Field I conducted during eight excavation seasons between 1976 and 1999. Field I was opened down the northeast slope of the tell in order to assess the long-term history of occupation at the mound site. Its excavation work documented the presence of fifteen primary occupation strata, including 46 sub-phases, stretching from the Early Bronze III period in the mid-third millennium B.C.E. to modern times. The major exposures include four strata of EB III remains (Strata XV to XII), and another five of LB to early Iron I materials (Strata XI to VII). Traces of Iron II (Stratum V)I and Persian (Stratum V) remains were found in one area at the crest of the mound, where levels were otherwise disturbed by a modern army trench and Bedouin graves (Stratum I). A few modest remains of Late Roman/Byzantine (Stratum III) and Islamic (Stratum II) eras were identified in downslope areas.
These excavations revealed that, following a robust occupation on the site’s Eastern Terrace in the EB I period, it lay fallow in EB II, settlement only to recover on the hillock to the west as a major fortified enclave in EB III. Then, after another gap in occupation during the EB IV and MB periods, it recovered again in the early LB I era, becoming an emporium associated with Egyptian trade, hence thriving, with continuity of occupation into the Iron Age and beyond.
