Besides its coverage of the four important aspects of synchrotron sources, materials and material processes, measuring techniques, and applications, this ready reference presents both important method types: diffraction and tomography. Following an introduction, a general section leads on to methods, while further sections are devoted to emerging methods and industrial applications. In this way, the text provides new users of large-scale facilities with easy access to an understanding of both the methods and opportunities offered by different sources and instruments.
Sauropods, those huge plant-eating dinosaurs, possessed bodies that seem to defy every natural law. What were these creatures like as living animals and how could they reach such uniquely gigantic sizes? A dedicated group of researchers in Germany in disciplines ranging from engineering and materials science to animal nutrition and paleontology went in search of the answers to these questions. Biology of the Sauropod Dinosaurs reports on the latest results from this seemingly disparate group of research fields and integrates them into a coherent theory regarding sauropod gigantism. Covering nutrition, physiology, growth, and skeletal structure and body plans, this volume presents the most up-to-date knowledge about the biology of these enormous dinosaurs.
MECASENS IV Selected, peer reviewed papers from the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON STRESS EVALUATION USING NEUTRONS AND SYNCHROTRON RADIATION PROCEEDINGS, Vienna 24 – 26 September 2007
The need for light-weight materials, especially in the automobile industry, created renewed interest in innovative applications of magnesium materials. This demand has resulted in increased research and development activity in companies and research institutes in order to achieve an improved property profile and better choice of alloy systems. Here, development trends and application potential in different fields like the automotive industry and communication technology are discussed in an interdisciplinary framework.
Retaining its proven concept, the second edition of this ready reference specifically addresses the need of materials engineers for reliable, detailed information on modern material characterization methods. As such, it provides a systematic overview of the increasingly important field of characterization of engineering materials with the help of neutrons and synchrotron radiation. The first part introduces readers to the fundamentals of structure-property relationships in materials and the radiation sources suitable for materials characterization. The second part then focuses on such characterization techniques as diffraction and scattering methods, as well as direct imaging and tomography....
A weekly record of scientific progress.
Die Bezeichnung ‚Klassiker‘ ist keine neutrale Charakterisierung, sondern kommt einer Ehrung gleich. Für den kanonischen Anspruch eines literarischen Textes sprechen seine zeitlose Gültigkeit, seine mehrere Generationen umfassende Rezeptionsgeschichte und seine breite zeitgenössische Überlieferung. Alle Werke, die in diesem Band behandelt werden, sind in diesem Sinne Klassiker: Die Lieder Walthers von der Vogelweide, der ‚Parzival‘ Wolframs von Eschenbach und das ‚Nibelungenlied‘ sind auch nach 800 Jahren höchst lesenswert. In zehn Beiträgen werden Hauptwerke der mittelalterlichen Literatur vorgestellt und zentrale Fragen der Kanonbildung diskutiert: Was macht ein Werk, ein...
