Surface alloying and de-alloying in the underpotential deposition region has provoked interest in the research community due to the effects of surface modifications on the different surface properties. Gold, in particular, has been investigated due to its wide potential faradaic region on which the electrochemical depositions of many metals can be studied. Surface alloying in the underpotential deposition region has very interesting effects that can be exploit to modify the surface properties of the alloys. The surface alloying can change the electrochemical corrosion behavior as it has been observed by a decreased corrosion current density and increased charge-transfer resistance. For examp...
Volume I, entitled “Augmentation of Brain Functions: Brain-Machine Interfaces”, is a collection of articles on neuroprosthetic technologies that utilize brain-machine interfaces (BMIs). BMIs strive to augment the brain by linking neural activity, recorded invasively or noninvasively, to external devices, such as arm prostheses, exoskeletons that enable bipedal walking, means of communication and technologies that augment attention. In addition to many practical applications, BMIs provide useful research tools for basic science. Several articles cover challenges and controversies in this rapidly developing field, such as ways to improve information transfer rate. BMIs can be applied to th...
The lipid bilayer is the most basic structural element of cell membranes. A wide range of topics are covered in this volume, from the origin of the lipid bilayer concept, to current applications and experimental techniques. Each chapter in this volume is self-contained and describes a group's research, providing detailed methodology and key references useful for researchers. Lipid bilayer research is of great interest to many because of it's interdisciplinary nature.·Provides an overview of decades of research on the lipid bilayer·38 contributed chapters, by leading scientists, cover a wide range of topics in one authoritative volume·Book coincides with 40th anniversary of BLM
The way you perceive the world, plan, make decisions and communicate your thoughts and feelings depends on the function and hierarchical arrangement of cortical modules. The ability to both provide adaptive responses to our ever-changing environment and to pursue a useful role in society is the most important problem faced by present day neuroscientists. In essence, the workings of cortical modules define the nature of our soul, making each of us who we are. This book provides a breath-taking view of different perspectives by world renowned authorities as to the workings of these cortical modules both in the normal state and in mental disorders.
Romanian cooking is, at its core, the most eclectic, varied, and complex cooking found in Eastern Europe because of its national history. The dishes are considered comfort foods because of their complex and savory character.
The aim of the present work is twofold. On one hand in the first part, the attention is focalized to give a brief but general idea on (i) the presence and importance of the different materials which surround us, including light alloys and more in details Al-based alloys, on (ii) some features on the actual state of the manufacturing of metallic alloys, and on (iii) some technical hitches appearing when metallic alloys are developed. On the other hand, some indications on how the metallic materials can be structurally characterized using complementary methodologies, namely microstructural analysis and X-Ray diffraction technique, including different real case studies, will be recalled. Additi...
