Stories, Legends and Fairy Tales
Eight stories, legends, and fairy tales to continue this series of bilingual English/Romanian illustrated books for children. The purpose of this series is to help readers, parents, and teachers, to find wonderful stories for children.
Emerging Fields in Sol-Gel Science and Technology
Emerging Fields in Sol-gel Science and Technology contains selected papers from the symposium on "Sol-Gel and Vitreous Materials and Applications" held during the International Materials Research Congress in Cancún, México in August 2002. One hundred and twenty researchers representing 10 countries attended this symposium. Some of the subjects covered in this symposium include 1.) synthesis of new materials endowed with outstanding and non-conventional optical, magnetic, electrical, thermal, catalytic, and mechanical properties; 2.) study of the sorption properties of model porous materials in order to test the validity of previous and recent theories; 3.) theoretical studies related to density functional theory, fractal and scaling law approaches, 4.) synthesis of biomaterials for use in medicine and pollution control; 5.) application of sol-gel colloids in the fine-chemistry industry in products such as fragrances and pharmaceuticals; 6.) development of special vitreous materials; 7.) implementation of inorganic thin films, and 8.) synthesis of materials for energy saving.
Basme Românești
Three exceptional folk stories written by Petre Ispirescu inaugurate a series of bilingual, illustrated books for children. The first volume consists of "The Wonderful Bird, Youth Without Age and Life Without Death," and "The Morning Star and The Evening Star."
METALLIC ALLOYS FOR ENGINEERED APPLICATIONS
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.

Waste to Profit
Waste to Profit: Environmental Concerns and Sustainable Development gives information about selecting the most suitable technology for waste treatment and energy recovery under different conditions. It contains techno-economic analysis, life cycle assessment, optimization of tools and technologies, including overview of various technologies involved in the treatment of wastes and factors influencing the involved processes. Finally, it explores the environmental, socioeconomic, and sustainability impact of different waste-to-energy systems. Features: Reviews energy sources and technologies from waste, their environmental interactions, and the relevant global energy policies Provides overview ...
Augmentation of Brain Function: Facts, Fiction and Controversy
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...
Sensing Machines
How we are tracked, surveilled, tantalized, and seduced by machines ranging from smart watches and Roombas to immersive art installations. Sensing machines are everywhere in our world. As we move through the day, electronic sensors and computers adjust our thermostats, guide our Roombas, count our steps, change the orientation of an image when we rotate our phones. There are more of these electronic devices in the world than there are people—in 2020, thirty to fifty billion of them (versus 7.8 billion people), with more than a trillion expected in the next decade. In Sensing Machines, Chris Salter examines how we are tracked, surveilled, tantalized, and seduced by machines ranging from sma...
International Conference on Material Science and Material Engineering [MSME2014]
The MSME2014 is hosted by Advanced Information Science Research Center (AISRC) and is sponsored by DEStech Publications, Inc., University of East Asia, University of Mysore and Reitaku University. MSME2014 aims to provide an excellent international academic forum for sharing knowledge and results in theory, methodology and applications in the aspects of material science and material engineering. This MSME2014 proceedings tends to collect the up-to-date, comprehensive and worldwide state-of-art knowledge on material science and material engineering, including material composites, ceramic, metal alloy material, polymer material, building materials, environmental friendly material, material performance, etc. All of accepted papers were subjected to strict peer- reviewing by 2–4 expert referees. The papers have been selected for this volume because of quality and the relevance to the conference. We hope this book will not only provide the readers a broad overview of the latest research results, but also provide the readers a valuable summary and reference in these fields.
