Annotation Beginning with a concise review of the physics and chemistry of polymers and their structure and morphology, this book goes on to describe and explain the common methods of characterizing polymers, including optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, among others. Also covered are the characterization and modification of such surface properties as adhesion, wetting, tribology, and surface thermodynamics.

Here is the most complete directory of physics organizations in the United States -- professional, degree-granting, and research. It is a veritable "Who's Who" of institutions and individuals in the physical sciences. Listed are: - North American academic institutions and departments granting degrees in physics and related fields - Industrial research-and-development centers, small R&D companies, consulting Firms, and professional practices - Federally funded R&D centers and government agencies - University-affiliated and other research institutes - Hospitals, medical schools, and other institutions Department staff listings, with individual addresses and e-mail, are provided. The DIRECTORY also contains the most complete listing of physical sciences professional societies throughout the world, with approximately twice as many verified entries as any other directory.

Mentre si trova a Parigi per un periodo di riabilitazione, il capitano Patrice Belval salva l’infermiera Coralie da un tentato rapimento. Non può che innamorarsene, ma la giovane è avvolta dal mistero: poche ore dopo l’incidente, il capitano assiste al brutale omicidio del marito di lei, l’enigmatico Essarès bey. Nel tentativo di aiutare Coralie, e ormai parte di un complotto contro la Francia stessa, Belval rimane impigliato negli ingranaggi di una macchina infernale nel pieno della Grande Guerra e, per difendersi da ogni genere di pericolo, non può che rivolgersi a qualcuno di eccezionale. Insomma, ci vorrebbe Arsenio Lupin, ma si dice in giro che si sia buttato da una scogliera. Per il celebre ladro gentiluomo, però, nulla è impossibile, soprattutto quando c’è di mezzo un tesoro nazionale il cui unico indizio è il «Triangolo d’oro»...
A cura di Gabriel-Aldo Bertozzi Edizioni integrali Nel 1905 l’editore Pierre Lafitte, colpito dal successo del celebre detective inglese Sherlock Holmes, chiese all’amico scrittore Leblanc di creare un personaggio francese da contrapporgli. Così, con il racconto L’arresto di Arsène Lupin, subito dopo inserito con altri in volume, iniziò il ciclo. Nello stesso periodo si parlò molto in Francia delle avventure del celebre anarchico Alexandre Marius Jacob, che rubava ai ricchi e donava ai poveri, al quale pare si sia ispirato Leblanc. Che sorta di “ladro” è Arsène Lupin? “Ladro gentiluomo” è la definizione, coniata dall’autore stesso, dell’affascinante e irraggiungibile...
One of the key aspects of this volume is to cut across the traditional taxonomy of disciplines in the study of alloys. Hence there has been a deliberate attempt to integrate the different approaches taken towards alloys as a class of materials in different fields, ranging from geology to metallurgical engineering. The emphasis of this book is to highlight commonalities between different fields with respect to how alloys are studied. The topics in this book fall into several themes, which suggest a number of different classification schemes. We have chosen a scheme that classifies the papers in the volume into the categories Microstructural Considerations, Ordering, Kinetics and Diffusion, Magnetic Considerations and Elastic Considerations. The book has juxtaposed apparently disparate approaches to similar physical processes, in the hope of revealing a more dynamic character of the processes under consideration. This monograph will invigorate new kinds of discussion and reveal challenges and new avenues to the description and prediction of properties of materials in the solid state and the conditions that produce them.
