At present, more and more procedures and technologies used to discover and characterize new materials are available, including advanced characterization techniques.This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics about obtaining and characterizing new materials, from the nano to macro scales, including for new alloys, ceramics, composites, biomaterials, and polymers and the procedures and technologies used to enhance their structure, properties, and functions. To select new materials for future use, we must first understand their structure and their characteristics using modern techniques such as microscopy (SEM, TEM, AFM, STM, etc.), spectroscopy (EDX, XRD, XRF, FTIR, XPS, etc.), and mechanical tests (tensile, hardness, elastic modulus, toughness, etc.) and their behaviors (in vitro and in vivo; corrosion; and thermal--DSC, STA, DMA, magnetic properties, and biocompatibility), among many others.
Shadow Crimes takes place in the high-fashion worlds of New York City and Milan, Italy during the later part of the decadent 1970s. Anna McKenna, orphaned in 1967, is discovered by a modeling agent in 1978 at the age of eighteen and is soon swept up into a jet-set world filled with fashion shoots on exotic islands, glamorous parties, and more money that she ever dreamed of. Her Italian-American uncle, Mickey Gallo, a detective in upstate New York, is uncomfortable with her new career because a fashion model was gruesomely murdered in New York City five months earlier. After a big party at Studio 54, another model Anna works with is murdered in a similar fashion. Gallo starts his own investigation. Anna considers quitting the business in the wake of the brutal killing, but decides to accept an offer to model in Milan because the money she¿s earning is desperately needed to help her younger brother, who has severe learning disabilities. Her Uncle Mickey, suspecting an international killer is on the loose, follows her to Milan and races to find the murderer before Anna becomes his next victim.
