A handy reference for technicians who want to understand the nature, properties and applications, of engineering ceramics. The book meets the needs of those working in the ceramics industry, as well as of technicians and engineers involved in the application of ceramic materials.
“2580 yılı. Uzay gemisi Hawking, solucan deliğindeki uzun, mide bulandırıcı, göz karartıcı ve klasik fizik kurallarıyla açıklanması olanaksız kestirme yolculuğundan sonra uzay boşluğunda madde-antimadde tepkimeli iticiler yardımıyla ışık hızına yakın hızlarda olmasına rağmen oldukça sakin bir şekilde ilerliyordu.” * …Karşısında parlak paneller vardı. Ses, bunların güneş enerjisini toplayan bir tür güneş pili olduğunu tahmin etti. Duvarın çevrelediği alan çoğunlukla bu panellerle kaplıydı fakat az ötede panellerin arasında bir kubbe gördü. Panellerin üstünden bir kedi gibi sessizce yürüyerek o kubbeye ulaştı ve aşağıya baktı....
Transformation of creativity into economic value is considered creativity economics. Innovation generates additional value via creativity. Unusual skill of perception, with intuitive touches and a tool that is able to diversify and transform reasons of exintence which contrust a bigger picture, integrates imagination with interdisciplinary functions and ignites creativity. Being open to new ideas is important for important for improving a culture of innovation that promotes creativity and for laying the ground for a strategy that combines flow of information into one single pool. There is no need for extraordinary talents to create infrastructure of creativity with a culture of innovation. W...
Surface engineering provides one of the most important means of engineering product differentiation in terms of quality, performance, and lifecycle cost. It is essential to achieve predetermined functional properties of materials such as mechanical strength, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and heat and oxidation resistance. Surface Engineering of Biomaterials addresses this topic across a diverse range of process technologies and healthcare applications. Introduces biomaterial surface science and surface engineering and includes criteria for biomaterial surface selection Focuses on a broad array of materials including metals, ceramics, polymers, alloys, and composites Discusses corrosion, degradation, and material release issues in implant materials Covers various processing routes to develop biomaterial surfaces, including for smart and energy applications Details techniques for post-modification of biomaterial surfaces This reference work helps researchers working at the intersection of materials science and biotechnology to engineer functional biomaterials for a variety of applications.
Biomaterials: From Molecules to Engineered Tissue gives examples of the application areas of biomaterials involving molecules at one end of the spectrum and finished devices in the other. It covers molecular approaches as well as molecules functional in preparing and modifying biomaterials, medical devices and systems, tissue engineering and artificial organs. Chapters on biomedical informatics and ethics complement the design and production aspects with their contribution in informatics and ethical concerns of biomedical research. This is a reference book for the advanced graduate student eager to learn the biomaterials area and for all researchers working in medicine, pharmacy, engineering and basic sciences in universities, hospitals, and industry involved in biomaterials and biomedical device production.
This book presents a design-driven investigation into smart materials developed by chemists, physicists, materials and chemical engineers, and applied by designers to consumer products. Introducing a class of smart materials, that change colors, the book presents their characteristics, advantages, potentialities and difficulties of applications of this to help understanding what they are, how they work, how they are applied. The books also present a number of case studies: products, projects, concepts and experiments using smart materials, thus mapping out new design territories for these innovative materials. These case studies involve different fields of design, including product, interior, fashion and communication design. Within the context of rising sustainable and human-centered design agendas, the series will demonstrate the role and influence of these new materials and technologies on design, and discuss how they can implement and redefine our objects and spaces to encourage more resilient environments.
This book brings together issues of social justice and the neglect of a sustainable orientation to the tourism workforce. This has resulted in an impoverished, unsustainable, and transient workforce that does not meet the aims of UN sustainable goals within the sector or indeed the UNTWO Code of ethics towards its employees. The introductory review and 15 chapters in this volume each make a unique and distinct contribution to knowledge. The opening review presents a critique of current definitions of sustainability in an employment, and specifically in a tourism employment context, acknowledging and critiquing extant literature. It uniquely recognises the themes submitted on the topic of sus...
Distopik romanlar son zamanlarda ilgiyle okunan roman türleri arasında yer almaktadır. Şüphesiz yaşadığımız pandemi süreci, bozulan ekolojik dengeler, çöken ekonomik sistemler, artan işsizlik, göçler, despotizm, ormansızlaşma, çevre kirliği, tükenen enerji kaynakları, yıkıcı teknoloji ve yozlaşan değerler bu tür romanlara olan ilgiyi arttırmaktadır. Romanlardaki öngörüler gerçek hayatla örtüştükçe bu tür romanlar okuru şaşırtmakta gelecek adına kaygılandırmaktadır. Burada okura düşen görev romanları içerdikleri mesajlar yönüyle doğru analiz etmek ve yazarların uyarılarını dikkate almaktır. Türk ve dünya edebiyatının seçkin distopik roman örneklerini içeren bu kitapta farklı zamanlarda ve mekânlarda yaşamış üstelik farklı ırklara mensup yazarların ortak kaygılarını okuyacaksınız. Dili, dini ve ırkı birbirlerinden çok farklı yazarların insan hayatı ve insan hakları odağında nasıl birleştiklerini göreceksiniz. Kitap distopya okurlarının eleştirel düşünme becerisini geliştirmeyi ve insanlık adına yapılan her türlü yayın faaliyetine katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.
This book presents a design-driven investigation into smart materials developed by chemists, physicists, materials and chemical engineers, and applied by designers to consumer products, buildings, interfaces, or textiles. Introducing a class of smart materials (referred to as stimuli-responsive, morphing or kinetic materials) that move and change their shape in response to stimuli, the book presents their characteristics, advantages, potentials, as well as the difficulties involved in their application. The book also presents a large number of case studies on products, projects, concepts, and experiments employing smart materials, thus mapping out new design territories for these innovative ...
There were two main driving forces in my decision for preparing a question- answer book covering all the courses given by myself during the past 10 years in my academic career: first argument is that there exists a good amount of original questions in the exams and their corresponding answers, next , my expectation is that probably fewer time would be spent in preparing such a book where the questions and answers are all-ready prepared thereupon.... In this country, most of the undergraduate students do not necessarily work on the course they attend in the same day; instead they prefer to start preparing their exams 2 or 3 days before.. In these circumstances, last minute students may usuall...
