Electrospun Polymers and Composites: Ultrafine Materials, High Performance Fibres and Wearables reviews the latest technological developments and innovations in electrospun polymers and composites, highlighting the multifunctionality of these ultrafine materials as high performance fibers. The book's chapters investigate a wide range of different electrospinning applications, including drug delivery, tissue scaffolding, fiber reinforcement and nanofiltration, with a particular focus on shape memory effect and the wearable characteristics of electrospun polymers and composites. This will be a valuable reference resource for research and for industrial communities working in the field of electrospinning.

High Quality Science requires High Quality Data! Today, more than ever, the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics is critical in ensuring that researchers, educators, and students have the highest quality data for chemical compounds and physical particles. Available both in print and online, the Handbook covers 390 chemistry, physics, and related subjects organized in easy-to-find, well-organized tables. Every year, new reported data and new scientific areas are added, making the Handbook the largest comprehensive physical science data source available anywhere. Handbook features include:All data reviewed and evaluated by subject matter expertsStandardized chemical names, structures, property names, and property unitsImportant information on subjects such as chemical and laboratory safety, and nomenclatureChemical and physical data critical for fields such as environmental science, bio-medical chemistry, organic and inorganic chemistry, materials innovation, geo- and astrophysics, and solid-state scienceDigital tools in our Online Edition to analyze, graph, process, and exploit our data content

The comprehensive guide to all stages of automotive paints and coating. New topics of interest covered by this second edition are colour control, specification and testing of coatings as well as quality and supply concepts.Now in its second edition and still the only book of its kind, this is an authoritative treatment of all stages of the coating process -- from body materials, paint shop design, and pre-treatment, through primer surfacers and top coats. New topics of interest covered are color control, specification and testing of coatings, as well as quality and supply concepts, while valuable information on capital and legislation aspects is given. Invaluable for engineers in the automotive and paints and coatings industry as well as for students in the field.

Harmful Algal Blooms: A Compendium Desk Reference provides basic information on harmful algal blooms (HAB) and references for individuals in need of technical information when faced with unexpected or unknown harmful algal events. Chapters in this volume will provide readers with information on causes of HAB, successful management and monitoring programs, control, prevention, and mitigation strategies, economic consequences of HAB, associated risks to human health, impacts of HAB on food webs and ecosystems, and detailed information on the most common HAB species. Harmful Algal Blooms: A Compendium Desk Reference will be an invaluable resource to managers, newcomers to the field, those who do not have easy or affordable access to scientific literature, and individuals who simply do not know where to begin searching for the information needed, especially when faced with novel and unexpected HAB events. Edited by three of the world's leading harmful algal bloom researchers and with contributions from leading experts, Harmful Algal Blooms: A Compendium Desk Reference will be a key source of information for this increasingly important topic.

This revised edition provides patient guidance in its clear and organized presentation of problems. It is rich in variety, large in number and provides very careful treatment of relativity. One outstanding feature is the inclusion of simple, standard examples demonstrated in different methods that will allow students to enhance and understand their calculating abilities. There are over 145 worked examples; virtually all of the standard problems are included.

Gran formato con ilustraciones. Círculo Científico tiene como objetivo poner en manos de bibliófilos, farmacéuticos, médicos, ingenieros y amantes del mundo de la ciencia los documentos más representativos de la Historia de la Ciencia.

A la mayoría nos gustan las matemáticas, el problema es que no lo sabemos. La historia de las matemáticas fue escrita por hombres y mujeres con un intelecto sorprendente, pero no se equivoquen: los verdaderos heroes de esta gran novela son las ideas. Esas pequeñas ideas que germinan un dia y se propagan de un siglo a otro, las que nos dicen que hay un mundo de impresionante riqueza justo delante de nuestros ojos.Junto con Mickael Launay, descubriremos que las matematicas son hermosas, poeticas, sorprendentes, emocionantes y estimulantes. El numero Pi es fascinante. La sucesion de Fibonacci y el numero aureo nos llevan por caminos inesperados donde se unen el arte y la naturaleza. Las ecuaciones son un desafio y tambien representan el infinito universo matematico.Si nunca llegaste a comprender las matematicas. Incluso si las llegaste a odiar... ¿Que te pareceria darles una segunda oportunidad? ¡Te sorprenderas!

¿Quién inventó el número cero? ¿Por qué hay 60 segundos en un minuto? ¿Cómo es de grande el infinito? ¿Dónde se cruzan las líneas paralelas? ¿Es cierto que el aleteo de una mariposa puede causar una tormenta en la otra punta del mundo?50 cosas que hay que saber sobre matematicasdesgrana uno a uno los cincuenta conceptos matematicos -antiguos, modernos, cotidianos y esotericos- que nos permitiran entender y dar forma al mundo que nos rodea.

La vida de las abejas, «un mundo aéreo, optimista y exterior», es estudiada por el poeta con ciencia y paciencia de entomólogo y con exactitud e ingenio, el escritor observa la vida dentro y fuera de

Lleno de anécdotas divertidas, Neil deGrasse Tyson explica con claridad qué son las estrellas enanas, los agujeros negros, los quásares y las posibilidades de que no estemos solos en el universo.Tambien habla de la imposibilidad de viajar mas rapido que la luz y de la esperanza de encontrar los agujeros de gusano, que nos permitirian conocer otros mundos.Desde que era niño, a Neil deGrasse Tyson le encantaba mirar las estrellas, asi que para comprarse su primer telescopio se dedico a pasear perros en el Bronx, el barrio de donde es originario. Su afan de conocimiento no se detuvo ahi: fue aumentando a medida que descubria nuevas cosas, como los anillos de Saturno o de donde viene cada uno de los elementos de la tabla periodica.Y ese afan no se detiene, porque la astrofisica es una ciencia que todos los dias descubre algo nuevo: un asteroide, un planeta, una galaxia.

Air pollution affects us all in a number of crucial ways, causing lasting damage to our health and our environment. While primary pollution can result from local activities, the extent of the impact can be felt at spatial scales from the individual up to the whole planet and temporal scales from minutes to decades. Consequently, pollution of our atmosphere remains a critical concern, warranting continued scientific investigation and the development of effective local and global solutions. The World Atlas of Atmospheric Pollution clearly and engagingly summarises current understanding of the state of air pollution on city to global scales.
