Grain size is recognized as a key microstructural factor affecting mechanical and, to some extent, physical properties of metals and metallic materials. For this reason, all the means designed to control and modify the grain size are considered a proper way to design and tailor metallic materials with desired properties. In this sense, microstructure refinement through severe plastic deformation (SPD) techniques can be considered a key method for this purpose. A typical SPD process is currently defined as any method of metal forming under extensive hydrostatic pressure intended to impose a very high strain on a bulk solid without involving any significant change in the overall dimensions and...

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is a very attractive research field for metallic materials because it provides new possibilities for manufacturing nanostructured materials in large quantities and allows microstructural design on different hierarchical levels. The papers included in this issue address the following topics: novel SPD processes as well as recent advancements in established processing methods, microstructure evolution and grain refinement in single- and multi-phase alloys as well as composites, strategies to enhance the microstructure stability at elevated temperatures, mechanically driven phase transformations, surface nanostructuring, gradient and multilayered materials, and mechanical and physical properties of SPD-processed materials.
Genetic Analysis applies the combined power of molecular biology, genetics, and genomics to explore how the principles of genetics can be used as analytical tools to solve biological problems. This new edition: Illustrates the conceptual basis of key analytical tools with carefully selected examples from a range of model organisms, and encourages the reader to Look beyond the examples to see how these tools can be used to explore a wide range of biological questions, Covers the latest and most powerful experimental tools to provide a state-of-the-art review of the field, giving insights into gene networks and interactions, Includes extended case studies that enable the reader to fully get to...
Scientists and engineers for decades searched to utilize magnesium, known of its low density, for light-weighting in many industrial sectors. This book provides a broad review of recent global developments in theory and practice of modern magnesium alloys. It covers fundamental aspects of alloy strengthening, recrystallization, details of microstructure and a unique role of grain refinement. The theory is linked with elements of alloy design and specific properties, including fatigue and creep resistance. Also technologies of alloy formation and processing, such as sheet rolling, semi-solid forming, welding and joining are considered. An opportunity of creation the metal matrix composite based on magnesium matrix is described along with carbon nanotubes as an effective reinforcement. A mixture of science and technology makes this book very useful for professionals from academia and industry.
Comprises 175 articles on 'Nanomaterials by Severe Plastic Deformation'. This title demonstrates the relevance of bulk ultrafine grained and nanostructured materials, produced by severe plastic deformation, to a wide range of researchers and engineers.
Předkládaná kniha je dílem více než 50 autorů, převážně chirurgů, kteří popsali historii svých pracovišť. Vychází z tradičního zájmu, který chirurgové věnují historii svého oboru. Zakladatelským dílem byly v tomto směru Dějiny chirurgie v Čechách z roku 1890, jejichž autorem byl prvním přednosta České chirurgické kliniky Karlo-Ferdinandovy univerzity v Praze prof. Vilém Weiss. Dějinami chirurgie v Čechách, a zvláště na pražské lékařské fakultě, se zabývali za první republiky další přednostové této první kliniky – prof. Otakar Kukula, prof. Arnold Jirásek a v dílčích pojednáních další chirurgové. Ale přes bouřlivý rozvo...
