Overview: Introduces a newly developing interdisciplinary frontier that bridges materials science, surface science, nano-science, and non-conventional information science.Allows researchers in the field of mate.This book draws on the main themes covered during the International Workshop on Molecular Architectonics which took place in Shiretoko, Japan from August 3 to 6, 2015. The concepts and results explored in this book relate to the term “molecular architectonics” which stands for electronic, optical and information-processing functions being orchestrated by molecular assemblies. This area

Overview: Contributions by leading experts and others to understanding the crucial role of metacognition in relation to broad areas of education make this collection a uniquely stimulating book. It encompasses metacognition in both the neglected area of teaching and the more well-established area of learning. The twelve chapters contribute to our understanding of the construct of metacognition and to its role in both teaching and learning. It addresses domain-general and domain-specific aspects of metacognition, including applications to the particular subjects of reading, speaking, mathematic

Overview: When retired it is a blessing if one has not become too tired by the strain of one‘s professional career. In the case of our retired engineer and scientist Rinus Vlaardingerbroek, however, this is not only a blessing for him personally, but also a blessing for us in the field of Magnetic Resonance Imaging as he has chosen the theory of MRI to be the work-out exercise to keep himself in intellectual top condition. An exercise which has worked out very well and which has resulted in the consolidated and accessible form of the work of reference now in front of you. This work has become

Overview: The prime focus is to help the teacher to discover, diagnose and cure misconceptions at an early stage and to prevent them from the beginning.Detailed descriptions of class-room experiments and models.Over the last decades several researchers discovered that children, pupils and even young adults develop their own understanding of "how nature really works". These pre-concepts concerning combustion, gases or conservation of mass are brought into lectures and teachers have to diagnose and to reflect on them for better instruction. In addition, there are ‘school-made misconceptions’ con
