Book excerpt: Bringing together experts from 15 countries, this book is based on the lectures and contributions of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on “Nanotechnological Basis for Advanced Sensors” held in Sozopol, Bulgaria, 30 May - 11 June, 2010. It gives a broad overview on this topic, and includes articles on: techniques for preparation and characterization of sensor materials; different types of nanoscaled materials for sensor applications, addressing both their structure (nanoparticles, nanocomposites, nanostructured films, etc.) and chemical nature (carbon-based, oxides, glasses, etc.); and on advanced sensors that exploit nanoscience and nanotechnology. In addition, the volume represents an interdisciplinary approach with authors coming from diverse fields such as physics, chemistry, engineering, materials science and biology. A particular strength of the book is its combination of longer papers, introducing the basic knowledge on a certain topic, and brief contributions highlighting special types of sensors and sensor materials.

Download or read book Ionic Liquids written by Barbara Kirchner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Ionic liquids will never find application in industry”, “I don’t understand this fad for ionic liquids” and “there is no widespread interest in these systems” are just three of quotes from the reports of referees for research proposals that I have received over the years. I wonder what these people think today. There are currently at least nine large-scale industrial uses of ionic liquids, including, we now rec- nise, the production of ?-Caprolactam (a monomer for the production of nylon-6) [1]. There has been a steady increase in the interest in ionic liquids for well over a decade and last year the number of papers and patents including ionic liquids was counted in the thousands. This remarkable achievement has been built on the hard work and enthusiasm, first of a small band of devotees, but now of huge numbers of scientists all over the world who do not see themselves as specialists in ionic liquids. The ionic liquids field continues to develop at an incredible rate. No sooner do I think that I am on top of the literature than it turns out that a whole new area of work has emerged without me noticing. Things that were once supposedly impos- 1 sible in ionic liquids, such as measuring the H NMR of solutes, are now widely applicable (see Chapter 8). Hence, collected volumes such as this are very w- come.

Download or read book Biomimetics in Materials Science written by Michael Nosonovsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-12-06 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomimetics in Materials Science provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical review of biomimetic materials with self-healing, self-lubricating and self-cleaning properties. These three topics are closely related and constitute rapidly developing areas of study. The field of self-healing materials requires a new conceptual understanding of this biomimetic technology, which is in contrast to traditional engineering processes such as wear and fatigue. Biomimetics in Materials Science is the first monograph to be devoted to these materials. A new theoretical framework for these processes is presented based on the concept of multi-scale structure of entropy and non-equilibrium thermodynamics, together with a detailed review of the available technology. The latter includes experimental, modeling, and simulation results obtained on self-healing/lubricating/cleaning materials since their emergence in the past decade.

The book also covers results of applying the discussed techniques on simulated as well as real systems (including clouds and big data processing platforms), and techniques for handling errors associated with user predicted task execution times. Written by a highly qualified academic with significant research experience in the field, Resource Management on Distributed Systems includes information on sample topics such as: Attributes of parallel/distributed applications that have an intimate relationship with system behavior and performance, plus their related performance metrics. Handling a lack of a prior knowledge of local operating systems on individual nodes in a large system. Detection and management of complex events (that correspond to the occurrence of multiple raw events) on a platform for streaming analytics. Techniques for reducing data latency for multiple operator-based queries in an environment processing large textual documents. With comprehensive coverage of core topics in the field, Resource Management on Distributed Systems is a comprehensive guide to resource management in a single publication and is an essential read for professionals, researchers and students working with distributed systems.
