Composites materials have aroused a great interest over the last few decades. Several applications of fibrous composites, functionally graded materials, laminated composites, nano-structured reinforcements, morphing structures, can be found in many engineering fields, such as aerospace, mechanical, naval and civil engineering. The necessity of lightweight structures, smart and adaptive systems, high-level strength, have led both the academic research and the manufacturing development to a recurring employment of these materials. Many journal papers and technical notes have been published extensively over the last seventy years in international scientific journals of different engineering fie...
Nowadays, it is quite easy to see various applications of fibrous composites, functionally graded materials, laminated composite, nano-structured reinforcement, morphing composites, in many engineering fields, such as aerospace, mechanical, naval and civil engineering. The increase in the use of composite structures in different engineering practices justify the present international meeting where researches from every part of the globe can share and discuss the recent advancements regarding the use of standard structural components within advanced applications such as buckling, vibrations, repair, reinforcements, concrete, composite laminated materials and more recent metamaterials. For thi...

Maybe breaking up would save them both. Desperate to make up to her family for her past absence, Gia Carter agrees to take over a partially finished architecture job from her grieving cousin, which means more time spent in New Orleans. But when the threats from environmental activists turn violent, she’s assigned a bodyguard who is with her more than she’s been with Xander in the last six months. Maybe it would just be easier to be with someone who wasn’t long-distance? Stuck in Denver trying to clear his name through a settlement, Xander Reinerman can feel the distance creeping into his relationship with Gia. She’s the one he wants to spend forever with, but he’s just not good enough—yet. When anonymous letters appear and local gang members assault him, he questions whether they will ever get their chance at forever after all. Life and love are on the line. Can Gia and Xander survive when everything is threatening to end them? **The books in Against All Odds series are meant to be read sequentially.**
This book is meant to preserve the history of Cape Verdeans that settled in the town of Harwich, Massachusetts. You will learn the connections between different families within the town and hopefully you will be able to begin your own genealogical research.
The Encyclopedia of Twentieth-Century Latin American and Caribbean Literature, 1900-2003 draws together entries on all aspects of literature including authors, critics, major works, magazines, genres, schools and movements in these regions from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. With more than 200 entries written by a team of international contributors, this Encyclopedia successfully covers the popular to the esoteric.The Encyclopedia is an invaluable reference resource for those studying Latin American and/or Caribbean literature as well.
You're innocent, but you just spent 5 years in prison. Would you be okay with never learning the truth? Xander Reinerman barely made it out of prison alive. Someone framed him and now he's out to show the world (especially his family) that he isn't the monster the media made him out to be. Doing that in a new town with no money, no friends, and a felony record will take every weapon in his arsenal and what's left of his shredded hope. After Golden’s philanthropist Gia Carter offers shelter to the handsome, quiet stranger in town, her life begins to unravel at breakneck speed, starting with her growing attraction to this broody man she knows nothing about. Someone's out to ruin her and they won't stop until she's headed back to her parents in a body bag. They need each other, but neither of them will ever trust easily again.
Shells, plates and beams have always appeared as fundamental components for civil, mechanical, aerospace and naval engineering. The increase in the use of these structures in different engineering practices justify the present international meeting where researches from every part of the globe can share and discuss the recent advancements regarding the use of standard structural components within advanced applications such as buckling, vibrations, repair, reinforcements, concrete, composite laminated materials and more recent metamaterials. In particular, the computational and experimental methods for shells, plates, beams and arches are the general topics of this conference. The importance ...
Edited by two leaders, this book has drawn together expertise from around the globe to form a unified, cohesive resource for the droplet microfluidics community. Starting with the basic theory of droplet microfluidics before introducing its use as a tool, the reader is treated to chapters on important techniques, including robust passive and active droplet manipulations and applications such as single cell analysis, which is key for drug discovery. This book is a go-to resource for the community yearning to adopt and promote droplet microfluidics into different applications.
