The conference aims to provide an excellent international academic forum for all the researchers, practitioner, students and teachers in related fields to share their knowledge and results in theory, methodology and application on mechanics and materials engineering. ICMME2014 features unique mixed topics of Mechanics, Materials Science and Materials Processing Technology, Emerging materials and other related ones. The ICMME2014 proceeding tends to collect the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and worldwide state-of-art knowledge on mechanics and materials engineering. All the accepted papers have been submitted to strict peer-review by 2–4 expert referees, and selected based on originality, significance and clarity for the purpose of the conference. The conference program is extremely rich, profound and featuring high-impact presentations of selected papers and additional late-breaking contributions. We sincerely hope that the conference would not only show the participants a broad overview of the latest research results on related fields, but also provide them a significant platform for academic connection and exchange.
In My Brother's Keeper: A Memoir and a Message, one of America's most admired public figures tells the story of his life. Born in Germany in 1929, Amitai Etzioni escaped the Nazi regime and as a teenager dropped out of high school to fight as a commando in the Israeli War of Independence. He went on to earn his doctorate at Berkeley, teach at Columbia University and Harvard Business School, and serve as senior advisor to the Carter White House. Although he has authored or edited over 20 books, Dr. Etzioni's influence extends beyond academic circles as the founder of the communitarian social movement. In his own words, Dr. Etzioni reflects on his vision of a society whose members care profoundly about one another, assume responsibilities and do not just demand rights, and attend not merely to themselves, but also to the common good. He traces how this message spread and is playing a significant role in the public life of the United States, United Kingdom, and many other free and liberated societies. Clearly and engagingly written, Dr. Etzioni's vision and story are at once compelling and inspiring.
The Essential Handbook of Polymer Terms and Attributes not only acts as an encyclopaedia of polymer science but also fosters an appreciation for the significance of polymers in fields including materials science, chemistry, engineering, and medicine. This book serves as an excellent reference book, covering every possible term and attribution associated with the vast and diverse field of polymers. This comprehensive volume serves as a vital resource for researchers working in industry and academia, offering a clear and concise exploration of polymer science with the most essential reference data available. Each polymer term is defined in a straightforward manner, ensuring that readers of all...
Interviews conducted with artists over the course of curatorial and art publishing activities of the editor.
The Lomo camera, an icon of mid-20th century design, is perceived as unable to take a bad picture, due to the unique, glass lens and capability for handling low-light levels. This antidote to all things digital and slick has found a vast international following of people who use it to document every aspect of their lives. This has spawned fan clubs and competitions the world over, culminating in the 2001 final in Cuba. This work features many images by keen lomographers, alongside facts, figures, anecdotes and ravings. It charts the visual language, history and lifestyle of this unique cult, an extraordinary camera and its global audience.
This volume, the fifth in a popular series, features papers related to the development and utilization of materials with novel electrical, optical or magnetic properties. The field has experienced tremendous growth in the past years, and this volume provides a forum for materials scientists, chemists, physicists and engineers to assess the progress. In particular, light-emitting materials for displays are showing great promise for widespread commercialization. Developments in molecular engineering and self assembly, as well as in conducting polymers, are enabling better performance and greater scientific understanding of the phenomena underlying these advances. Improvements in electro-optic, photorefractive and two-photon absorbing materials are also being realized and are addressed here.
When the Booker Prize Committee decided to institute a special Booker Russian Novel Prize, there were no other literary prizes in the post-perestroika Russia, the official Soviet prizes for literature having been abolished shortly after the collapse of communism, when most state-subsidized publishing also closed down. This left Russian authors with little choice but to flee abroad in search of employment and publishers, while most of those who stayed declared that the end of Russian literature had arrived, and set about dividing up the property of the Writer's Union among themselves. Authors, who earlier had not been published for political reasons, now were not published for economic reason...
