Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2019 8vo (25 cm), XII, 82 pp. Laminated wrappers. Synopsis: Nanomaterials and nanostructures are the original product of nanotechnology, and the key building blocks for enabling technologies. In this context, this book presents a concise overview of the synthesis and characterization methods of nanomaterials and nanostructures, while integrating facets of physics, chemistry, and engineering. The book summarizes the fundamentals and technical approaches in synthesis, and processing of nanostructures and nanomaterials, so as the reader can have a systematic and quick picture of the field. This book focuses on functional aspects of nanomaterials that have a high relevance to immediate applications, such as catalysis, energy harvesting, biosensing, and surface functionalization. There are chapters addressing nanostructured materials and composites and covering basic properties and requirements of this new class of engineered materials.

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2020 8vo (24.5 cm), XVI, 83 pp. Publisher's laminated boards. Synopsis: This is an introduction to the nanoscale for science, computer science, and engineering disciplines. That said, there does not exist an educational discipline, market segment, or career avenue which will not be impacted by nanotechnology. Nanoscience and nanotechnology, the application of the research-based nanoscale science, have changed significantly over the last three and a half decades. The "bucky" ball, 60 carbon atoms arranged like a soccer ball, and an often-used symbol of nanotechnology, was discovered in 1985 and 4 years later scientists at IBM were able to manipulate xenon atoms on a surface. In the intervening years, nanotechnology has evolved from a singly focused research topic to an understanding that infiltrates every aspect of science and engineering disciplines. In addition, nanotechnology, and both naturally occurring and engineered nanomaterials, have become the… Read More

Universitas, 2000 4to (28.5 cm), 312 pp. Laminated boards (minor shelf-wear, bookplate mounted on the front endpaper, collector's blind stamp on the title. In Polish. The book presents for the first time, in a broad, genetic, and problem-oriented dimension, the diversity of Polish artistic graphics, manifesting itself during the formative period from 1897 to 1917. It outlines the fundamental stages of development of this aspiring discipline towards independence, defines emerging trends within its framework, introduces the artists contributing to these trends, and characterizes their pursuits and experiments. The subject of the research here largely includes graphic works that have been previously unexplored and unpublished, often engravings by creators overlooked in the historiography of Polish art. The book's narrative reconstructs the determination in the struggle for the nobility of graphics in a much broader context – the popularization of the aesthetic norms of "black and… Read More

World Bank Publications, 2015 8vo (25 cm), XXIII, 270 pp, CD in the back pocket. Laminated wrappers. "Analyzing Data from a National Assessment of Educational Achievement is the fourth of five volumes in the National Assessments of Educational Achievement series. Part I provides a general introduction to the statistical analyses normally carried out in large-scale assessments. These include the calculation of measures of central tendency and dispersion, standard errors, and correlation; comparing mean scores; and identifying low and high performers. Part II describes item and test analysis using both classical test and item response theories. Topics addressed include analysis of pilot and final test data, treatment of missing data, differential item functioning, test dimensionality, linking assessment results, rotated booklet designs, setting proficiency or performance levels, and scaling. An accompanying CD contains specially designed item and test analysis software as well as exercises and… Read More

Cambridge University Press, 1991 8vo (21.5 cm), VIII, 191 pp. Laminated wrappers (canceled stamp of an institutional library on the title). From the blurb: "Eric Hobsbawm's brilliant enquiry into the question of nationalism won further acclaim for his 'colossal stature ... his incontrovertible excellence as an historian, and his authoritative and highly readable prose'. Recent events in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet republics have since reinforced the central importance of nationalism in the history of political evolution and upheaval. This second edition has been updated in the light of those events, with a final chapter addressing the impact of the dramatic changes that have taken place. It also includes additional maps to illustrate nationalities, languages and political divisions across Europe in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries."

The MIT Press, 1990 8vo (23.5 cm), XIV, 345 pp. Publisher's cloth and dust jacket (dj slightly rubbed at extremities). "These eleven contributions by leaders in the fields of neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and cognitive science cover the phenomenon of parallelism in both natural and artificial systems, from the neural architecture of the human brain to the electronic architecture of parallel computers. The brain's complex neural architecture not only supports higher mental processes, such as learning, perception, and thought, but also supervises the body's basic physiological operating system and oversees its emergency services of damage control and self-repair. By combining sound empirical observation with elegant theoretical modeling, neuroscientists are rapidly developing a detailed and convincing account of the organization and the functioning of this natural, living parallel machine. At the same time, computer scientists and engineers are devising imaginative parallel… Read More

Morgan & Claypool Publishers, 2019 8vo (23.5 cm), X, 86 pp. Laminated wrappers. Synopsis: Regarding the vast use of chemical components in different human activities, they are susceptible to corrosion because of contact with aggressive environments. Therefore, the use of inhibitors for the control of corrosion of chemical components in corrosive media is an urgent affair. Numerous investigations were carried out and are still being done to study the corrosion inhibition potential of organic compounds. Remarkable inhibition efficiency was achieved by all these compounds particularly some with N, S, and O atoms in their structure. Unfortunately, most of these compounds are not only expensive but also toxic to living beings. Hence, it is essential to mention the importance of natural inhibitors as eco-friendly, readily available, and renewable sources. The main goal of this book is to point out the influence of these components in terms of physical and, in some cases, chemical, processes on different… Read More

University of California Press, 2008 8vo (23.5 cm), XI, 271 pp. Publisher's cloth backed boards and dust jacket. "By examining radiocarbon (C-14) dating-the best known of these methods-and several other techniques that geologists use to decode the distant past, Macdougall unwraps the last century's advances, explaining how they reveal the age of our fossil ancestors such as "Lucy," the timing of the dinosaurs' extinction, and the precise ages of tiny mineral grains that date from the beginning of the earth's history. In lively and accessible prose, he describes how the science of geochronology has developed and flourished." (from the publisher's description)
