From the TMS 2003 Annual Meeting & Exhibition symposium honoring the life's work of Professor Akira Yazawa, this book, the first in a three-volume collection, discusses recent developments in the physical chemistry of metallurgical processes and physicochemical principles involved in materials processing, with a focus on materials processing fundamentals and new technologies. This volume is part of a three-volume set. You may purchase any volume individual or you may purchase the entire three-volume set in its entirety as listed below: Three-Volume Set : Metallurgical and Materials Processing Principles and Technologies (Yazawa International Symposium) Volume 1: Materials Processing Fundamentals and New Technologies Volume 2: High-Temperature Metal Production Volume 3: Aqueous and Electrochemical Processing A collection of papers from the 2003 TMS Annual Meeting and Exhibition, which was held in San Diego, California, March 2-6, 2003.

Intermetallics is concerned with all aspects of ordered chemical compounds between two or more metals and notably with their applications. This book covers new and important research on the crystal chemistry and bonding theory of intermetallics; determination and analysis of phase diagrams; the nature of superlattices, antiphase domains and order-disorder transitions; the geometry and dynamics of dislocations and related defects in intermetallics; theory and experiments relating to flow stress, work-hardening, fatigue and creep; response of deformed intermetallics to annealing; magnetic and electrical properties of intermetallics; structure and properties of grain and interphase boundaries; the effect of deviations from stoichiometry on physical and mechanical properties; crystallisation of intermetallics from the melt or amorphous precursors.
Electrochemical capacitors in part or in whole on the electrical double later at electrode interfaces have found application in a variety of energy storage applications. Paper for the symposium are solicited that cover all fundamental and practical aspects of ultracapacitors, supercapacitors, and similar electrochemical energy conversion devices, including: 1) double layer and/or pseudo-capacitance of carbons, conducting polymers, and advanced inorganic materials, 2) synthesis and characterization of high surface area materials for electrochemical capacitors, 3) development and optimization of practical ultra- and super-capacitor components, including current collectors, electrodes, electrolytes, separators and packaging, 4) performance of new device designs and construction using symmetric and asymmetric electrode constructions, 5) mathematical models for performance characterization, 6) comparison of energy, power, and lifetime characteristics of hybrid fuel cell and battery power sources utilizing electrochemical capacitors. Keynote speakers will present tutorials covering recent advances and future directions for electrochemical capacitor technology.
The challenge of providing adequate power on an indefinite basis without causing long-term damage to the environment requires a versatile means of energy conversion and storage. As such, electrical energy storage is becoming more vital today than at any time in human history. Electrochemical systems, such as batteries, supercapacitors, fuel cells,
Minerals, Metals and Sustainability examines the exploitation of minerals and mineral products and the implications for sustainability of the consumption of finite mineral resources and the wastes associated with their production and use. It provides a multi-disciplinary approach that integrates the physical and earth sciences with the social sciences, ecology and economics. Increasingly, graduates in the minerals industry and related sectors will not only require a deep technical and scientific understanding of their fields (such as geology, mining, metallurgy), but will also need a knowledge of how their industry relates to and can contribute to the transition to sustainability.

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are essential for human cell metabolism. As precursors of a very large and extremely versatile family of signaling compounds they play a key role in intracellular communication. Eicosanoids constitute one of the most abundant and prominent subfamilies of these fatty acid derivatives which are formed primarily along oxidative pathways. Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and related eicosanoids have a modulatory function in mammalian cells and are responsible for tissue responses such as inflammation or wound repair. Increasing activity in eicosanoid research sheds new light on today's most common diseases including atherosclerosis, cancer, Alzheimer's, allergies, and rh...
