Just as Hordea is about to embark on a journey into adulthood, he realizes the citizens of the three main planets in the Federation are dying at the hands of Boridus, their treacherous leader. As the citizens battle a mysterious disease and years of peace begin to vanish, Hordea seizes an opportunity to read Boriduss mind and learn of his diabolical plan. Seemingly left with no other choice, Hordea leads a group of friends to escape the planet aboard an old ship. As they head toward Amphosea, a safe haven where they hope to develop a plan to unseat Boridus and restore freedom, they are soon encouraged to return home to rescue their families. But when their pilot talks them into a daring jour...
Science and Technology of Rubber covers the most important aspects of rubber science and technology, from synthesis and structure to elasticity and flow, blending, filling, and cross-linking. Polymerization and copolymerization, the rheological behavior of unvulcanized rubber, vulcanization, reinforcement of elastomers by particulate fillers, and the chemical modification of polymers are also discussed. This book is comprised of 14 chapters; the first ten of which take the reader from an introduction through synthesis characterization, mechanical behavior, and flow to the major processing steps of filling, compounding, and vulcanization and to the theories and measurement of elastomeric perf...

A deep-dive into the heart of modern financial markets, the authors explore why and how people trade - and the consequences.
This book reviews the key technologies and characteristics of the modern man-made specialty fibers mainly developed in Japan. Since the production of many low-cost man-made fibers shifted to China and other Asian countries, Japanese companies have focused on production of high-quality, high-performance super fibers as well as highly functionalized fibers so-called ‘Shin-gosen’. ZylonTM and DyneemaTM manufactured by Toyobo, TechnoraTM produced by Teijin, and VectranTM developed by Kuraray are those examples of super fibers. Carbon fibers ToraycaTM from Toray have occupied the most advanced high-performance application area. Various types of polyester fibers having design-shaped cross-sect...
Thermosetting plastics are a distinct category of plastics whose high performance, durability and reliability at high temperatures makes them suitable for specialty applications ranging from automotive and aerospace through to electronic packaging and consumer products (your melamine kitchen worktop is a thermoset resin!). Recent developments in thermoset plastics technology and processes has broadened their use exponentially over recent years, and these developments continue: in November 2011, French scientists created a new lightweight thermoset that is as strong and stable as previous materials yet can be easily reworked and reshaped when heated which makes it unique amongst thermosets an...
This book constitutes refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Algorithmic Bias in Search and Recommendation, BIAS 2021, held in April, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic BIAS 2021 was held virtually. The 11 full papers and 3 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 37 submissions. The papers cover topics that go from search and recommendation in online dating, education, and social media, over the impact of gender bias in word embeddings, to tools that allow to explore bias and fairnesson the Web.
The Handbook of Fiber Chemistry, Third Edition provides complete coverage of scientific and technological principles for all major natural and synthetic fibers. Incorporating new scientific techniques, instruments, characterization, and processing methods, the book features important technological advances from the past decade, particularly
