Carbon-Carbon Materials and Composites

William Andrew Publishing, 1994

Carbon-carbon composites, which have been used extensively for missile applications, were a part of NASA's Apollo spacecraft heat shield system. The development of carbon-carbon materials began in 1958 and was nurtured under the U.S. Air Force space plane program, Dyna-Soar, and by numerous thermal protection systems...

Wearable Robots: Biomechatronic Exoskeletons

John Wiley & Sons, 2008

Being a multidisciplinary area involving subjects such as mechanics, electronics and computing, the evolution and spread of robotics to different application sectors still requires intense interaction with other fields of science and technology. This applies equally when dealing with wearable robots, meaning robotic systems that a...

Urban Ecology: An International Perspective on the Interaction Between Humans and Nature

Springer, 2008

Urban Ecology is the study of ecosystems that include humans living in cities and urbanizing landscapes. It is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that aims to understand how human and ecological processes can coexist in human-dominated systems and help societies with their efforts to become more sustainable. It has deep roots in...

Safe C++: How to avoid common mistakes

O'Reilly, 2012

Astute readers such as yourself may be wondering whether the title of this book, Safe C++, presumes that the C++ programming language is somehow unsafe. Good catch! That is indeed the presumption. The C++ language allows programmers to make all kinds of mistakes, such as accessing memory beyond the bounds of an...

Ecosystem Engineers, Volume 4: Plants to Protists (Theoretical Ecology Series)

Academic Press, 2007

The purpose of this collection is to present some of the diversity of ideas and studies about species that can be classifi ed as “ecosystem engineers.” As with any developing concept, we fi nd disagreement about the meaning and usefulness of this term in the literature and among ourselves. The idea for the book...

Methods of Analysis for Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals, Second Edition

CRC Press, 2008

Functional foods and nutraceuticals encompasses a wide variety of topics ranging from foods with positive health attributes to even dietary supplements. The analysis of this diverse category can create its own set of challenges since sometimes it is not known what is the active agent. Hence an analyst looks for a marker compound,...

Biophysical Techniques in Photosynthesis (Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration)

Springer, 1996

Progress in photosynthesis research is strongly dependent on instrumentation. It is therefore not surprising that the impressive advances that have been made in recent decades are paralleled by equally impressive advances in sensitivity and sophistication of physical equipment and methods. This trend started already shortly after...

Pharmacoethics: A Problem-Based Approach (Plant Engineering Series)

CRC Press, 2003

About 20 years ago, the University of New Mexico School of Medicine (SOM) established a student-centered problem-based learning (PBL) curriculum emphasizing ambulatory care practice competencies. It was designed for small groups of students working together and ran parallel with their more traditional curriculum. The SOM...

Fatigue of Structures and Materials

Springer, 2009

Fatigue of structures and materials covers a wide scope of different topics. The purpose of the present book is to explain these topics, to indicate how they can be analyzed, and how this can contribute to the designing of fatigue resistant structures and to prevent structural fatigue problems in service.

This book is...
