The 8th International Symposium on fracture mechanics of ceramics was held in on the campus of the University of Houston, Houston, TX, USA, on February 25-28, 2003. With the natural maturing of the fields of structural ceramics, this symposium focused on nano-scale materials, composites, thin films and coatings as well as glass. The symposium also addressed new issues on fundamentals of fracture mechanics and contact mechanics, and a session on reliability and standardization.
This book covers research work spanning the breadth of ventures, a variety of challenges and the finest of techniques used to address data and analytics, by subject matter experts from the business world. The content of this book highlights the real-life business problems that are relevant to any industry and technology environment. This book helps us become a contributor to and accelerator of artificial intelligence, data science and analytics, deploy a structured life-cycle approach to data related issues, apply appropriate analytical tools & techniques to analyze data and deliver solutions with a difference. It also brings out the story-telling element in a compelling fashion using data and analytics. This prepares the readers to drive quantitative and qualitative outcomes and apply this mindset to various business actions in different domains such as energy, manufacturing, health care, BFSI, security, etc.
Ceramics are, in a general definition, materials that consist of man-made, inorganic, non-metallic solid material - either existing in a crystalline state or non-crystalline state (i.e., glasses). Materials characterization techniques are used to ensure the structural and surface integrity of ceramics for their use in a wide variety of applications, from thermal resistance to advanced electronic and optical technologies like fiber optics to structural uses. This book presents those techniques along with views on future trends in ceramics processing and advanced characterization technologies particularly appropriate to ceramics materials. Readers will find more on: Ceramic Materials preparation routes, including powder preparation by solution techniques and gas-phase techniques Formation techniques for ceramic films and coatings, thick films and bulk ceramics A review of ceramic microstructure, reactions, phase behavior, mechanical properties and electronic and magnetic ceramics

Papers from The American Ceramic Society's 31st International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites, held in Daytona Beach, Florida, January 21-26, 2007. Content includes fundamental links among processing, microstructure, properties and performance of ceramics and composites, and how these change as a function of time, temperature and environment. Reviews progress on ternary compounds, ultra-high temperature ceramics, innovative processing techniques to achieve multifunctional properties and materials for power generation and nuclear energy applications.
Tiny Tots and Tender Hearts explains the basics of heart diseases in children. Although there are chapters devoted to this subject in other books, but the general and individual aspects are not given-in-depth. Besides, there is no source books for paramedicals, parents and relatives of patients to understand such a complicated topic. Awareness helps cope better, and this book answers questions like how congenital heart defects are formed, why they are formed, when to suspect, how doctors confirm, and related issues like psychological aspects, lifestyle after surgery etc. The book is well illustrated with more than 150 colour images and diagrams, and the language has been kept simple with no technical jargon. The present book is useful for doctors involved in the study of children s heart disease; final year MBBS, MD pediatrics and MD General Medicine students; nurses, technicians, counselors involved in children s heart care; and parents and relatives of children suffering from heart diseases
This Book Offers A Comprehensive Coverage Of Medicine For Undergraduate Medical Students In A Simple But Exhaustive Manner. The Subject Has Been Divided Into Systematic Sub-Sections And Discussed With Special Reference To Our Country. Tables, Illustrations And Emergencies Are Useful Adjuncts.
