Processing techniques are critical to the performance of polymer products which are used in a wide range of industries. Advances in polymer processing: From macro- to nano- scales reviews the latest advances in polymer processing, techniques and materials.Part one reviews the fundamentals of polymer processing with chapters on rheology, materials and polymer extrusion. Part two then discusses advances in moulding technology with chapters on such topics as compression, rotational and blow moulding of polymers. Chapters in Part three review alternative processing technologies such as calendaring and coating, foam processing and radiation processing of polymers. Part four discusses micro and na...
Murder, romance and gargoyles... welcome to Victorian Paris Gabby and Ingrid may have saved their brother, but their journey is far from over. Ingrid must learn how to control her powers before they begin to control her. She wishes Luc would help her, but he's refusing... Meanwhile Gabby has thrown herself into the Alliance, despite the eye patch she now wears thanks to a hellhound. But there are major changes afoot. When Nolan returns from the trials of the traitorous Alliance members he brings his father and his cousin, whose first order is to remove Chelle, Ingrid, and Gabby from their duties - women are no longer welcome. But Paris needs hunters, especially now murder is sweeping the city again. Whole families are being slaughtered in their sleep, at the dinner table - even while out in the family carriage. Just who or what is behind these slayings? The action, romance, and devastatingly dark secrets revealed in THE BEAUTIFUL AND THE CURSED continue as Ingrid and Gabby fight for their loves, their lives and their city.
A compelling gothic romance set in Victorian Paris Ingrid Waverly is a young woman to be reckoned with. Faced with her brother's mysterious disappearance after an abrupt move to Paris, she is determined to discover what has happened to him. Soon she and her sister Gabriella are drawn into a Parisian underworld more terrifying than they could ever have imagined, but watching over them are two impossible (and impossibly handsome) young men. Luc is a 'Dispossessed', an ancient gargoyle whose sworn duty it is to protect the humans who inhabit his abbey. Nolan has secrets of his own too. He is a member of the Alliance - a shadowy group dedicated to keeping Paris safe from the demonic forces that threaten to destroy it. Secrets, danger and hidden powers stalk the girls in this beautifully imagined paranormal romance that will keep readers gripped from beginning to end - and one thing is for sure - you'll never look at a gargoyle in the same way again...
In polymer processing, the molecular orientation induced by flow has a significant effect on the crystallization kinetics and final morphology of the polymer produced. The impact on processing operations and object properties is extremely important and recently scientific and technological researchers have begun to quanitify these effects. The international conference 'Flow-Induced Crystallization of Polymers', held in October 2001 in Salerno, Italy, was timely and well attended. An interdisciplinary approach was taken and presentations were made on topics ranging from real-time measurement, through modelling, to final morphology and properties of polymers. Invited and other selected contributions from the conference are collected here, in this volume of Macromolecular Symposia
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the First International Workshop, FL 2022, Held in Conjunction with IJCAI 2022, held in Vienna, Austria, during July 23-25, 2022. The 11 full papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 12 submissions. They are organized in three topical sections: answer set programming; adaptive expert models for personalization in federated learning and privacy-preserving federated cross-domain social recommendation.
Ce cours de mécanique fait le lien entre différents domaines mécaniques (mécanique générale du solide, théories simplifiées des plaques et des poutres, mécanique des fluides, élasticité des solides, vibrations des structures, méthode des éléments finis) en présentant l’ensemble des thèmes qui formaient le programme de l’épreuve de mécanique des systèmes et des milieux déformables de l’agrégation de mécanique (désormais agrégation de Sciences pour l’Ingénieur). L'auteur y fait la synthèse des notions à acquérir pour aborder dans de bonnes conditions ce concours. Les éléments de Mécanique sont progressivement introduits et un grand nombre de chapitres son...

Le plus grand casse du monde est récent : entre 10 et 20 milliards d’euros ont été subtilisés aux États européens sur le marché du carbone sous la forme d’une escroquerie à la TVA. Malgré les alertes des acteurs de marché, l’administration a mis des mois à réagir. Pendant ce temps, de nombreuses mafias ont fondu sur la fraude, qui rapportait 20 % en deux heures. Certains fraudeurs sont devenus riches à centaines de millions. Mais au prix de quatre meurtres, un enlèvement, et de multiples épisodes de corruption, dont l’affaire du commissaire Neyret. Les « mecs du CO2 » ont désormais les moyens d’investir dans des arnaques de taille gigantesque. Pourtant, au départ...
Emma, 24 ans, partage son temps entre sa petite fille, qu’elle élève seule, et ses études. Forte et déterminée, elle trace sa route, peu importent les obstacles qui se dressent devant elle. Un jour, elle choisit d’emprunter un autre chemin. Un changement innocent sur son parcours de footing quotidien, qui la projette en enfer. Au détour du sentier, un homme guette, l’attend.
