Overview: These volumes constitute the Proceedings of a Symposium on the Fracture Mechanics of Ceramics, held at the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania, July 11, 12, and 13, 1973. The theme of the symposium focussed on the mechanical behavior of brittle ceramics in terms of the characteristics of cracks. The 52 contributed papers by 87 authors, present an overview of the cur­ rent understanding of the theory and application of fracture mechan­ ics to brittle ceramics. The program chairmen gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance for the Symposium provided by th

Overview: Sets out the contours of feminist political ecology.Covers topics that range from climate change and extractivism with a Foreword by Professor Lyla Mehta.Reflects on a collective learning process.This.This open access book sets out the contours of feminist political ecology (FPE) as a major contribution to ongoing debates in the field. As Professor Lyla Mehta says in her Foreword, the book is "foregrounding multiple ways of knowing and being, thus enabling new conceptions of politics, justice and alternatives to dominant, capitalist development trajectories". In an innovative methodo

Overview: Nominated as an outstanding Ph.D. thesis by the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Germany.Applies multiple independent experimental probes to reveal several common trends in the charge dyThis thesis combines highly accurate optical spectroscopy data on the recently discovered iron-based high-temperature superconductors with an incisive theoretical analysis. Three outstanding results are reported: (1) The superconductivity-induced modification of the far-infrared conductivity of an iron arsenide with minimal chemical disorder is quantitatively described by means of a stro

Overview: Only book summarizing FEM and BEM (and optimization) for acoustics.The chapters discuss fundamental issues of the methods.Methods will be presented for engineers, even if they are described by mathema.Among numerical methods applied in acoustics, the Finite Element Method (FEM)  is normally favored for interior problems whereas the Boundary Element Method (BEM) is quite popular for exterior ones. ..That is why this valuable reference provides a complete survey of methods for computational acoustics, namely FEM and BEM. It demonstrates that both methods can be effectively used in the

Overview: Einfluss von Prozessparametern auf die Mikrostruktur sowie quasistatische und zyklische EigenschaftenPhilipp Wittke charakterisiert spanlos gefertigte Innengewinde aus den Aluminium- und Magnesiumlegierungen AlSi10Mg, AZ31 und AZ91. Neben der Entwicklung einer zerstörungsfreien Methode zur Beurteilung der Gewindequalität werden vom Autor grundlagenorientierte Untersuchungen durchgeführt, um den Einfluss von Prozessparametervariationen während der Gewindefertigung auf die Mikrostrukturen und somit auf die quasistatischen und zyklischen Eigenschaften der Innengewinde zu ermitteln. In d

Overview: This topical study examines the ‘novelizations‘ of radical literary theory in the work of A.S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Umberto Eco, John Fowles, Richard Powers and many other leading novelists. It offers a comprehensive analysis of the ‘post-theoretical novel‘, and traces an alternative history of the ‘theory revolution‘ in recent literary fiction.978-1-349-54274-1978-0-230-20807-0

In the East Asian region financial stability has been a major concern ever since the Asian crisis of 1997/98, which still looms large in the collective memory of the affected countries. The global crisis, which had its starting point in 2007, only served to exacerbate this concern. Safeguarding financial stability

Overview: This collection brings together an interdisciplinary pool of scholars to explore the relationship between children and borders with richly-documented ethnographic studies from around the world.

Overview: Provides updated advances on carbon dioxide chemistry in organic synthesis.Particularly shows PEG-promoted CO2 chemistry on the basis of understanding about the phase behavior of PEG/CO2 system.SystemIn this volume, Professor He and his coworkers summarize polyethylene glycol (PEG)-promoted CO2 chemistry on the basis of understanding about phase behavior of PEG/CO2 system and reaction mechanism at molecular level. As PEG could be utilized as a green replacement for organic solvents, phase-transfer catalyst, surfactant, support in various reaction systems, significantly promoting cata
