Economic growth and rising levels of consumption in developing and developed countries has been observed as being deeply coupled with natural resource usage and material consumption. The increasing need for natural resources has raised concerns regarding issues such as resource scarcity, undesirable environmental impacts due to material extraction, primary production, and suboptimal product dispos…
Представлены теоретические сведения по основным фазовым и структурным превращениям в сплавах при первичной кристаллизации и в твердом состоянии, а также в области упрочнения материалов при подводе нетепловых форм энергии. Дана классификация сплавов по степени неравновесности их исходного состояния. Изложены принципы синергетики и теории фрактальных структур, на основе которых рассмотрена методолог…
Эта энциклопедия познакомит детей с очень интересным видом техники – грузовиками. Ребята узнают, как устроены эти могучие автомобили, какие из них трудятся на стройке, в карьерах и под землёй, на автомагистралях, в лесу и в поле. Здесь же представлены гонки на грузовиках, военные машины и автомобили-амфибии. Понятный язык, множество иллюстраций и фактов сделают чтение книги более доступным и увлек…
Иллюстрированный сборник предназначен для широкого круга любителей военной истории и истории авиации и отражает этапы зарождения палубной авиации, её становления в качестве основной ударной силы военно-морских флотов в ходе Второй мировой войны (Часть I) и краткий обзор основных классов палубной авиации Великобритании, США и Японии, принятых на вооружение в период с 1942 по 1945 год (до окончания …
Completely up-to-date, this is the first comprehensive monograph on metal oxide varistors with a focus on microstructure, conduction mechanisms, device failures, ageing, additive impacts and future varistor systems. As such, it covers the fundamentals and applications of metal oxide varistors, including their macro-characteristics, microstructural properties and the device-internal physical and el…
The first book to comprehensively cover the burgeoning new class of soft materials known as functional organic liquids Functional organic liquids, a new concept in soft matter materials science, exhibit favorable properties compared to amorphous polymers and ionic liquids. They are composed of a functional core unit and a side chain, which induces fluidity even at room temperature. Due to their fl…
Methods for more planet-friendly process engineering Our earth is just one big, complex Process Facility with limited air, water, and mineral resources. It responds to a number of process variables—among them, humanity and the environmental effects of our carbon consumption. What can professionals in the Hydrocarbon Process Industry do to retard environmental degradation? Rather than looking to ex…
