Industrial Applications of Natural Fibres
Natural fibres are becoming increasingly popular for use in industrial applications, providing sustainable solutions to support technical innovation. These versatile, natural based materials have applications in a wide range of industries, from textiles and consumer products to the automotive and construction industries. Industrial Applications of Natural Fibres examines the different steps of processing, from natural generation, fibre separation and fibre processing, to the manufacturing of the final product. Each step is linked to fibre properties and characterization, highlighting how different fibres influence the product properties through a discussion of their chemical and structural q...
New Horizons of Applied Scanning Electron Microscopy
In modern scanning electron microscopy, sample surface preparation is of key importance, just as it is in transmission electron microscopy. With the procedures for sample surface preparation provided in the present book, the enormous potential of advanced scanning electron microscopes can be realized fully. This will take the reader to an entirely new level of scanning electron microscopy and finely-detailed images never seen before.
Cellulosic Materials
The objectives of this book are twofold : To provide a thorough examination of the materials science of cellulosic fibers with emphasis on the characterization of structure-property relations, and To advance knowledge of how to best analyze cellulosic fibrous networks and composites, and, ultimately, engineer 'novel' cellulose-based systems of superior performance and functionality. The book is structured in five chapters which provide a sequential treatment of the running theme : deformation mechanics and the physical, morphological and mechanical characterization of native cellulose fibers networks and composites.

Stochastic Ferromagnetism
This monograph examines magnetization dynamics at elevated temperatures which can be described by the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation (SLLG). The first part of the book studies the role of noise in finite ensembles of nanomagnetic particles: we show geometric ergodicity of a unique invariant measure of Gibbs type and study related properties of approximations of the SLLG, including time discretization and Ginzburg-Landau type penalization. In the second part we propose an implementable space-time discretization using random walks to construct a weak martingale solution of the corresponding stochastic partial differential equation which describes the magnetization process of infin...
Energy Roadmap 2050
People's well-being, industrial competitiveness and the overall functioning of society are dependent on safe, secure, sustainable and affordable energy. The energy infrastructure which will power citizens' homes, industry and services in 2050, as well as the buildings which people will use, are being designed and built now. The pattern of energy production and use in 2050 is already being set.
Gender and the Restructured University
In these nine chapters, fourteen academics from the UK, Australia and New Zealand examine some recently accelerating changes in higher education, and the possible implications for female academics. They analyze the globalization process, the global knowledge economy, the influences of new technologies, new managerial styles and organizational structures and cultures accompanying the new dominant economic theories, and a shift in the focus of universities from traditional concerns of liberal education to "national wealth creation". The authors consider the effects of this corporate-, competition-dominated orientation on female academics, and the threats which organizational restructuring may pose to gender equity among academics.
Science in the Modern World Polity
This work uses cross-national and longitudinal empirical research to explain the rise, nature, and impact of science as an authoritative worldwide institution. The authors analyze the ever-increasing investment in science, the diffusion of scientific discourse, and the hegemony of scientific organizations.
The Blackwell Encyclopedic Dictionary of Business Ethics
The Blackwell Encyclopedic Dictionary of Business Ethics provides clear, concise, and highly informative definitions and explanations of the key concepts in one of the most important fields in contemporary business. With entries ranging from extended explorations of major topics to short definitions of key terms, this pioneering dictionary gives the user authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the whole field of business ethics; a full index and cross-references for detailed research and bibliographical citations for further study; definitive entries covering all of the current theories and research that underlie the study of business ethics; and an international perspective.
Amines Grafted Cellulose Materials
Native cellulose is a structural material that is biosynthesised as microfibrils by a number of living organisms ranging from higher and lower plants, to some amoebae, sea animals, bacteria and fungi. The chemical modification of cellulose microfibrils is investigated for preparing new bio-based materials with end-use properties in the fields of adhesion, textile, detergent, paint, cosmetic, medicine, food, etc. This book highlights the methods of preparing the cellulose conjugates which can be water-soluble materials or water-insoluble materials, to identify linkage with carboxylated cellulose materials through amide bonds and to understand the obtained results following by FT-IR, NMR spectroscopies (at liquid and solid states) and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Biomass
This volume is the first to give a truly international view on biomass. This international collection of contributed articles examines the use of biomass as a regenerable energy resource in a number of different countries. They look at the ways in which biomass can be used, in wood-burning stoves, as charcoal, biogas, or as liquid fuels. The influence of the uses of biomass upon people in developing countries and their environment is considered in detail. This volume will be a welcome addition to the library of anyone who is concerned with today's use of energy and its consequences.
