A presentation of developments in the electrochemistry of C60 and related compounds, electroenzymatic synthesis, conducting polymers, and electrochemical partial fluorination. It contains accounts of carbonyl compounds, anodic oxidation of oxygen-containing compounds, electrosynthesis of bioactive materials, electrolyte reductive coupling, and more.
"Joseph-Armand Bombardier spent his whole life inventing machines. He invented snowmobiles, snowplows, tractors -- and a very unusual school bus! Read about Joseph-Armand and his amazing machines in J. Armand Bombardier: The Busy Inventor."--Page 4 of cover.
This book introduces readers to the latest technological advances in the emerging field of intelligent orthopaedics. Artificial intelligence and smart instrumentation techniques are now revolutionizing every area of our lives, including medicine. The applications of these techniques in orthopaedic interventions offer a number of potential benefits, e.g. reduced incision size and scarring, minimized soft tissue damage, and decreased risk of misalignment. Consequently, these techniques have become indispensable for various orthopaedic interventions, which has led to the emerging field of intelligent orthopaedics. Addressing key technologies and applications, this book offers a valuable guide for all researchers and clinicians who need an update on both the principles and practice of intelligent orthopaedics, and for graduate students embarking on a career in this field.
Every day Canadians buy groceries at Sobey’s, develop film at Black’s, or grab a coffee at Tim Horton’s without giving it a second thought. These brands are in our lives and in the public eye. We’re familiar with the names, but what do we really know about the people who lie behind them? I Know That Name! will answer these questions for you. It’s full of fun facts, intriguing trivia, and engrossing explorations of more than one hundred Canadian men and women who beat the odds to become household names, including Timothy Eaton, Laura Secord, and J.L. Kraft.
Laboratory and Field Testing is the second volume of the five-volume set Rock Mechanics and Engineering and contains nineteen chapters from key experts in the following fields: - Triaxial or True-triaxial Tests under Condition of Loading and Unloading; - Joint Tests; - Dynamic and Creep Tests; - Physical Modeling Tests; - Field Testing and URLs. The five-volume set “Comprehensive Rock Engineering”, which was published in 1993, has had an important influence on the development of rock mechanics and rock engineering. Significant and extensive advances and achievements in these fields over the last 20 years now justify the publishing of a comparable, new compilation. Rock Mechanics and Engi...
The Wrong Side of the Street - written to Awaken A Silent Tradition Exemplifies the walk of each Black family through their accomplishments, pains, and wonders. The black family has experienced much since slavery; Here we see the struggles we overcame, the details of our survival, the warmth, the secrets, betrayals, business sense, fears, prayer life, discrimination, Miracles, and Yes, The Love. This book shows you different characters and how they dealt. Stories so Familiar it will feel like a soul’s reunion. What if we forgot from which we came? Would we fall back even further? Perhaps the higher forces have something better in mind. Here we will give you a foundation from the past, to help you become the new you. This adventurous true story is a mustread for any and every black family. As the timing of this book is perfect for such a time as this.

Through the years, the challenge of powered transportation in the snow has been met with ideas from explorers, creative inventors and small companies, all with new ideas - often unique and sometimes successful. The name "snowmobile" was trademarked in 1917, but there were snow travel ideas before that date and certainly thousands more since. Winter explorers and trailblazers sought to replace their dogsleds and snowshoes as they explored difficult locations, including remote locations, on the north and south poles. Early inventors of snow vehicles often scavenged parts from many mechanical devices, trying many power and propulsion methods, from 2- and 4-stroke engines to air propulsion, and ...
This volume represents the proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on the topic of "Motor Neuroscience" held at the Hotel San 15-24, 1990. The San Bastiano Hotel Bastiano, Calcatoggio (Corsica), September provided a beautiful setting for the ten day ASI in aresort on the west coast of Corsica, near the island's capital city of Ajaccio. The motivation of this ASI originated from the success of an ASI that we organized eleven years ago at Senanque Abbey in the south of France. Our earlier meeting was successful in providing some coherence to a widely scattered literature while providing up to date knowledge on motor control and learning. Our goal for the second ASI was essentially the same. We wanted to appraise the main theoretical ideas that currently characterize the field by bringing together many of the internationally known scientists who are doing much of the contemporary work. It is our hope that these proceedings will provide some conceptual unification to an expanding and diverse literature on motor control.
