Encyclopedic presentation of the clinical applications of biomaterials from markets and advanced concepts to pharmaceutical applications and blood compatibility.
This volume contains 132 selected papers presented at the Symposium which will be held on November 22-25, 1983 in Beijing and is the first of international symposia on fracture mechanics held in China. In this volume one may find the contributions of many internationally well known scientists and engineers is the field of fracture mechanics. Among the 132 papers from 12 countries and regions, 16 are invited lectures which were specially chosen to cover major trends in fracture mechanics and were prepared by specialists actively engaged on the respective subjects. All papers are grouped under the 6 headings, that is, 1. Elastic and elastic-plastic fracture mechanics; 2. Applications of fractu...

Winner of the 2007 Pfizer Prize from the History of Science Society. Feynman diagrams have revolutionized nearly every aspect of theoretical physics since the middle of the twentieth century. Introduced by the American physicist Richard Feynman (1918-88) soon after World War II as a means of simplifying lengthy calculations in quantum electrodynamics, they soon gained adherents in many branches of the discipline. Yet as new physicists adopted the tiny line drawings, they also adapted the diagrams and introduced their own interpretations. Drawing Theories Apart traces how generations of young theorists learned to frame their research in terms of the diagrams—and how both the diagrams and th...
