Through a balanced combination of theory and experiments, this book provides a detailed overview of the main and most up-to-date advances in the area of polymeric materials. Because the subject is essentially interdisciplinary and brings together scientists and engineers with different educational backgrounds, the book offers a research-oriented exposition of the fundamentals as well. The book is based on the editors’ and authors’ extensive experience in research, development, and education in the field of materials science, and especially polymer testing, polymer diagnostics, and failure analysis. A comprehensive coverage of the methods of polymer testing is provided along with the results of the authors’ work on deformation and fracture behavior of polymers. This book will be useful to faculty as well as advanced-level students in materials science, materials technology, plastic technology, mechanical engineering, process engineering, and chemical engineering.

Here, reviews and original papers are collected about quantitative chemistry, biochemistry and biology. Special attention is given to new ideas in the fields which include nanoelements formation and reactivity, synthesis of thermoplastic bio-based polyurethanes on the basis of vegetable oils, carvacrol and thymol for fresh food packaging, polymer composites structure and electric properties and some properties of small water clusters in water-starch systems.

This handbook presents a comprehensive view of the current theory and research surrounding political elites, which is now a pivotal subject for academic study and public discourse. In 40 chapters by leading scholars, it displays the field’s richness and diversity. The handbook is organized in six sections, each introduced by a co-editor, focusing on theories about political elites, methods for studying them, their main structural and behavioral patterns worldwide, the differentiation and integration of political elite sectors, elite attributes and resources, and the dilemmas of political elites in this century. Forty years since Robert Putnam’s landmark Comparative Study of Political Elites, this handbook is an indispensable resource for scholars and students engaged in the study of this vibrant field.
This volume of Macromolecular Symposia contains papers presented at the 1st International Symposium on "Reactive Polymers in Inhomogeneous Systems, in Melts and at Interfaces" held in Dresden Germany in July 2000. It includes 42 contributions from renowned scientists dealing with topics of current interest in the field of synthesis, characterization and application of reactive and functional polymers. The papers add significantly to the current understanding of the role of reactive polymers in phenomena such as adhesion, colloidal stability, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility - comprehension which is vital for improving the polymer technologies available today and for the development of new applications.
The book covers in particular state-of-the-art scientific research about product quality control and related health and environmental safety topics, including human, animal and plant safety assurance issues. These conference proceedings provide contemporary information on the general theoretical, metrological and practical issues of the production and application of reference materials. Reference materials play an integral role in physical, chemical and related type of measurements, ensuring their uniformity, comparability and the validity of quantitative analysis as well as, as a result, the objectivity of decisions concerning the elimination of technical barriers in commercial and economic, scientific and technical and other spheres of cooperation. The book is intended for researchers and practitioners in the field of chemistry, metrologists, technical physics, as well as for specialists in analytical laboratories, or working for companies and organizations involved in the production, distribution and use of reference materials.
Designed to facilitate the use of audit data analytics (ADAs) in the financial statement audit, this title was developed by leading experts across the profession and academia. The guide defines audit data analytics as “the science and art of discovering and analyzing patterns, identifying anomalies, and extracting other useful information in data underlying or related to the subject matter of an audit through analysis, modeling, and visualization for planning or performing the audit.” Simply put, ADAs can be used to perform a variety of procedures to gather audit evidence. Each chapter focuses on an audit area and includes step-by-step guidance illustrating how ADAs can be used throughout the financial statement audit. Suggested considerations for assessing the reliability of data are also included in a separate appendix.
The collective monograph consists of five parts: Theory and modeling of martensitic transformation and functional properties; Martensitic transformations and shape memory effects; Controlling the functional properties of shape memory alloys; Shape memory alloys with complex structure; Application of shape memory alloys) covering of all aspects of shape memory alloys from theory and modelling to applications. It presents the scientific results obtained by leading scientific teams studying shape memory alloys in the former Soviet Republics together with their colleagues from other countries during the last decade.
