Opis

Building Inspections are done-- and required-- for all sorts of reasons: real estate assessments, safety, maintenance and repair, and facility inventories, among others. This new, concise guide to building inspections covers them all, using a clear, easy-to-follow checklist approach. All major building components, from site inspections to exterior and interior and structural inspection are covered. Expert help in writing up inspection summaries and recommendations will also be provided. The book will also give the reader additional Industry resources and informational sources for further reading and reference.

This new book synthesizes a wide range of interdisciplinary literatureto provide the state-of-the art of biomedical implants. It discussesmaterials and explains the three basic requirements for implant successfrom a surface engineering perspective: biological compatibility,biomechanical compatibility, morphological compatibility.Biomedical, mechanical, and materials engineers will find this bookindispensable for understanding proper treatment of implant surfacesin order to achieve clinical success. Highlights include:• Coverage of surface engineering of polymer, metallic, ceramicand composite implant materials;• Coverage of chemical, mechanical, physical, thermal, and combinedsurface modification technologies;• Explanations of interfacial reaction between vital tissue andnon-vital implant surface; and• Methodologies and technologies for modification of surfacelayer/zone to promote the osteo-integration, the ultimatesuccess for biomedical implants in both dental and medicalpractice.
