Testo aggiuntivo
"Scientific and technical readers will benefit from this book. Further review of its three sections reveals how this will likely happen. Those spending time with the first section will gain an appreciation of the complex phenomena ofnoise and vibrations relative to living and working environments. The second section then provides fundamental principles of electromagnetic fieldprotection. The last three chapters discuss ionizing radiation."John T.
