Industry imposes stringent requirements on the quality of powder materials used in many areas of technology. To satisfy these requirements, it is necessary to overcome technical problems and find solutions of the problems, in most cases by the application of highly efficient separation processes.
In the engineering world, many ideas and plans are conceived in the
information exchanges that occur over lunch. In the summer of 1997, one of
the editors (Shin Hwa Li) was assigned to assist our CMP module at the
Crolles facility of STMicroelectronics near Grenoble, France. One day, in
the company cafeteria, while sitting near...
Stimulated by the pioneering work of Sajeev John and Eli Yablonovitsch in 1987,
German research groups started in the early 1990s with theoretical and experimental
work on 2D and 3D photonics crystals. This initial work was the basis of an
application for a focused project on photonic crystals at the German Science
Foundation...
Experimental methods for diffraction and microscopy are pushing the front
edge of nanoscience and materials science, and important new developments
are covered in this third edition. For transmission electron microscopy, a remarkable
recent development has been a practical corrector for the spherical
aberration of the objective...
I FIRST STARTED PLAYING WITH THE ANDROID SDK before it was offi cially released as version 1.0.
Back then, the tools were unpolished, the APIs in the SDK were unstable, and the documentation
was sparse. Fast-forward three and a half years, Android is now a formidable mobile operating
system, with a following no less impressive than...
There are many books and monographs on corrosion, such as Corrosion and Corrosion Control by H. H. Uhlig and R. W. Revie; Corrosion Engineering by M. G. Fontana and N. D. Greene; Principles and Prevention of Corrosion by D. A. Jones; An Introduction to Corrosion and Protection of Metals by G. Wranglen; and Corrosion for Science and...
This book is for every SharePoint developer who wants to build state-of-the-art solutions with Silverlight—within the enterprise, for consulting clients, or for commercial sale.
Developers increasingly want to build rich applications that run in the...
This book presents a comprehensive course of quantum mechanics for undergraduate and graduate students. After a brief outline of the innovative ideas that lead up to the quantum theory, the book reviews properties of the Schrödinger equation, the quantization phenomena and the physical meaning of wave functions. The book discusses, in a...
ââDirected at the growing number of untutored personnel aspiring to enter the disciplines of ophthalmic technicianry and surgical assisting, âThe Scrub's Bible represents an entry level guide to understanding the human eye, its basic anatomy, and physiology. Absorbing this information...
A guide to taking fantastic portraits, covering all the practical decisions as well as the creative aspects
Explaining the basic rules of portraiture, this practical guide also covers the more complex ideas of image making. Set out in chronological order as a photographer would approach a shoot, it explains...
Have you ever wondered how your GPS can find the fastest way to your destination, selecting one route from seemingly countless possibilities in mere seconds? How your credit card account number is protected when you make a purchase over the Internet? The answer is algorithms. And how do these mathematical formulations translate themselves...
Fuel cells are one of the most promising clean energy conversion devices that can solve the environmental and energy problems in our society. However, the high platinum loading of fuel cells - and thus their high cost - prevents their commercialization. Non- or low- platinum electrocatalysts are needed to lower the fuel cell...
