Download or read book Fundamentals de Ciencia de Polimeros written by Juan J. Iruin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a new, basic introduction to polymer science. It is both comprehensive and readable. The authors are leading educators in this field with extensive backgrounds in industrial and academic polymer research. The text starts with a description of the types of microstructures found in polymer materials. This provides an understanding of some of the key features of the various mechanisms of homopolymerization and copolymerization which are discussed in following chapters. Also discussed in these chapters are the kinetics and statistics of polymerization, with a separate chapter on the characterization of chain structure by spectroscopic methods. The next part of the text deals with chain conformation, structure and morphology, leading to a discussion of crystallization, melting and glass transition. The discussion then moves from solid state to solution properties where solution thermodynamics is introduced. This provides the basis for discussion of the measurement of molecular weight by various solution methods. The final chapter deals with mechanical and rheological properties which are discussed from a phenomenological continuum approach and then in terms of a fundamental molecular perspective. Altogether, this new text provides a comprehensive, readable introduction to and overview of polymer science. It is well illustrated with schematics prepared for this text to help in the understanding of key concepts. It will provide a basic understanding of today's polymer science for technical and engineering personnel not already familiar with the subject, and a convenient update and overview for materials scientists.

Download or read book Probing Semantic Relations written by Alain Auger and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semantic relations are at the core of any representational system, and are keys to enable the next generation of information processing systems with semantic and reasoning capabilities. Acquisition, description, and formalization of semantic relations are fundamentals in computer-based systems where natural language processing is required. "Probing Semantic Relations" provides a state of the art of current research trends in the area of knowledge extraction from text using linguistic patterns. First published as a Special Issue of "Terminology" 14:1 (2008), the current book emphasizes how definitional knowledge is conveyed by conceptual and semantic relations such as synonymy, causality, hypernymy (generic specific), and meronymy (part whole). Showing the difficulties and successes of pattern-based approaches, the book illustrates current and future challenges in knowledge acquisition from text. This book provides new perspectives to researchers and practitioners in terminology, knowledge engineering, natural language processing, and semantics."

Download or read book Proyecto Arquitectonico En Zonas Sismicas written by Alejandro Rojas Contreras and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La arquitectura mexicana actual está mostrando su talento en las obras que proyectan. Sin embargo, sea cual fuese el proyecto arquitectónico, es indispensable considerar las condiciones que existirán en eventos sísmicos. No hacerlo así significa exponerse a incertidumbres de servicio o riesgos de estabilidad, que pueden inhabilitar o hacer fallar la estructura que se trate. Fue así como se perdieron en la ciudad de México legados importantes de arquitectura, por los efectos del sismo de 1985. A partir de ese entonces somos mejores: aprendimos que la arquitectura está ligada a las condiciones de su entorno. La Torre Latinoamericana es un icono de la Ciudad de México porque conjunta arquitectura, estructura, cimentación y sismo. El sismo de 1957 permitió reconocer el avance que se estaba logrando al integrar el diseño sísmico y la arquitectura. El de 1985 nos recordó que esa integración no es opcional, es necesaria. Esto exige que la participación del arquitecto y el ingeniero sea estrecha para beneficio de todos. El costo en vidas y los daños materiales se minimizan en la medida en que se incrementen las consideraciones sísmicas en los proyectos arquitectónicos. El presente libro lo introduce a uno en el tema, cómo y por qué se originan los sismos, cuáles son los principales elementos a considerar en el cálculo de las fuerzas sísmicas, y cómo se integran esos resultados en el diseño final. Es mérito del autor haberlo logrado: su formación académica de licenciatura en ingeniería civil, su postgrado en arquitectura y su desarrollo profesional en ambas actividades, lo han permitido. Es así como logra llevar al lector en un recorrido que permite visualizar la importancia del proyecto arquitectónico en zonas sísmicas. Explica de manera amena los elementos básicos que se requiere conocer de física, sismología y estructuras para llegar a los conceptos de coeficiente sísmico y espectro de diseño. Aborda el efecto de los sismos en los suelos: los tipos de suelos y sus características, los reglamentos de interés y comentarios en paralelo para ampliar las perspectivas del tema. Continúa con el efecto de los sismos en los edificios, el comportamiento de sus elementos y sistemas estructurales. Presenta las condiciones de diseño arquitectónico en zonas sísmicas y las configuraciones antisísmicas a considerar. Completa este marco general con el comportamiento de los diversos sistemas estructurales y los procesos aplicables, indicando las precauciones que deben tenerse durante su construcción. Al final presenta casos prácticos, que son ejemplos actuales de proyectos urbanos que no son ajenos al lector. Este libro de Alejandro Rojas ayudará a quien lo utilice, ya sea en el aula o en el taller de arquitectura... Carlos E Gutiérrez Sarmiento Abril del 2008.
