Bicontinuous interfacially jammed emulsion gels, now commonly termed 'bijels', are a class of soft materials, in which interpenetrating, continuous domains of two immiscible fluids are maintained in a rigid arrangement by a jammed layer of colloidal particles at their interface. Such gels have unusual material properties that promise exciting applications across diverse fields from energy materials and catalysis, to food science. This is the first book on the subject and provides the reader with a fundamental introduction. Edited by a recognised authority on bijels, the reader will learn about the bijel and its formation. Bringing together current understanding, this book aims to bring the potential application of bijels to diverse materials challenges closer to fruition. This is a must-have resource for anyone working in soft matter and applied fields.
Fifteen in a series of annual reports comparing business regulation in 190 economies, Doing Business 2018 measures aspects of regulation affecting 10 areas of everyday business activity: • Starting a business • Dealing with construction permits • Getting electricity • Registering property • Getting credit • Protecting minority investors • Paying taxes • Trading across borders • Enforcing contracts • Resolving insolvency These areas are included in the distance to frontier score and ease of doing business ranking. Doing Business also measures features of labor market regulation, which is not included in these two measures. The report updates all indicators as of June 1, 20...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Embedded Software and Systems, ICESS 2005, held in Xi'an, China, in December 2005. The 63 revised full papers presented together with the abstracts of 3 keynote speeches were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 361 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on embedded hardware, embedded software, real-time systems, power aware computing, hardware/software co-design and system-on-chip, testing and verification, reconfigurable computing, agent and distributed computing, wireless communications, mobile computing, pervasive/ubiquitous computing and intelligence, multimedia and human-computer interaction, network protocol, security and fault-tolerance, and abstracts of eight selected workshop papers.
