The first volume of The Handbook of Humidity Measurement focuses on the review of devices based on optical principles of measurement such as optical UV, fluorescence hygrometers, optical and fiber-optic sensors of various types. Numerous methods for monitoring the atmosphere have been developed in recent years, based on measuring the absorption of electromagnetic field in different spectral ranges. These methods, covering the optical (FTIR and Lidar techniques), as well as a microwave and THz ranges are discussed in detail in this volume. The role of humidity-sensitive materials in optical and fiber-optic sensors is also detailed. This volume describes the reasons for controlling the humidity, features of water and water vapors, and units used for humidity measurement.
A busca por soluções para minimizar, ou até mesmo inverter, o impacto humano no ecosistema da Terra é urgente. Por outro lado, será que estamos dispostos a mudar nossas estruturas para que a espécie humana sobreviva ao ecocídio que está cometendo? Em linguagem acessível e argumentação contundente, Lívia Humaire apresenta de maneira muito objetiva os fundamentos e a modelagem de sua proposta para negócios eco-lógicos. Um dos pontos de partida é a biomimética: o que o mundo natural tem a nos ensinar sobre empreender? A partir desta e outras perguntas, Lívia desenvolve suas reflexões para apresentar a ferramenta Árvore Produto-lógica e inúmeros exemplos de empreendimentos q...

«C’è da fare una cosa» dice Roberto Grassi ai suoi compagni, studenti appartenenti a un’organizzazione di sinistra extraparlamentare, in una mattina del 1975, e quella «cosa» è sprangare Sergio Ramelli, fino a ucciderlo. Sei anni più tardi, Roberto Grassi si suicida nel suo appartamento milanese, gravato dal peso di quelle parole e di quel gesto, e un cerchio, uno solo, si chiude. Ma sono molti di più quelli rimasti aperti, le storie degli anni di piombo senza morale, senza risposta e senza giustizia: i delitti della destra eversiva e della sinistra rivoluzionaria, le vite perdute degli irriducibili rossi e neri. Storie catartiche o inquietanti, storie di estremisti e terroristi ...
The scientific advances in life sciences and engineering are constantly challenging, expanding, and redefining concepts related to the biocompatibility and safety of medical devices. New biomaterials, new products, and new testing regimes are being introduced to scientific research practices. In order to provide clinically predictive results and to ensure a high benefit–risk ratio for patients, we need to optimize material and implant characteristics, and to adapt performance and safety evaluation practices for these innovative medical devices. Various characteristics related to materials and implant development such as raw materials composition, implant surface morphology, design, geometr...
Aurelia Rubbini, the only child of a rich merchant in fourteenth century Italy, has been raised to be a dutiful daughter, wife and mother, but she longs for something more than the restricted life intended for her. Then one day, her father brings home from a buying trip an Asian slave boy, Batu, who will reshape Aurelia's destiny. Aurelia and Batu are inexorably drawn to each other, but their relationship is forbidden as Aurelia is destined for an arranged marriage to further her father's political ambitions. When Aurelia marries Lorenzo de Graziano, a nobleman with a dangerous reputation, Batu insists on going with her for her protection. But Batu's presence arouses violent passions that Aurelia, in her innocence, can never understand.
