This book is the first of its kind to discuss the development and applications of porous materials since their early start in the 1950s until now, the end of 2018. It is intended for students interested in materials science at the Masters or undergraduate level, but it is also intended for Ph.D. students who start their research in the field of porous materials. Surprisingly, we noted that a co…
Description Mycorrhizal Mediation of Soil: Fertility, Structure, and Carbon Storage offers a better understanding of mycorrhizal mediation that will help inform earth system models and subsequently improve the accuracy of global carbon model predictions. Mycorrhizas transport tremendous quantities of plant-derived carbon below ground and are increasingly recognized for their importance in the …
Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering provides a comprehensive coverage of the three primary types of materials (metals, ceramics, and polymers) and composites. Adopting an integrated approach to the sequence of topics, the book focuses on the relationships that exist between the structural elements of materials and their properties. This presentation permits the early introduction …

Kayu telah memainkan peran utama sepanjang sejarah manusia. Kuat dan serba guna, manusia purba menggunakan kayu untuk membuat tempat berlindung, memasak makanan, membuat peralatan, membuat perahu, dan membuat senjata. Baru-baru ini, ilmuwan, politisi, dan ekonom telah memperbarui minat mereka pada kayu karena sifatnya yang unik, estetika, ketersediaannya, kelimpahannya, dan mungkin yang paling …
The sixth edition of Engineering Design continues its tradition of being more oriented to material selection, design for manufacturing, and design for quality than other broad-based design texts. The text is intended to be used in either a junior or senior engineering design course with an integrated, hands-on design project. At the University of Maryland, we (the authors) present the design pr…
Low-level radioactive wastes are generated from nuclear power plants, research institutions, hospitals, universities, radiopharmaceutical manufacturers, fuel fabrication industry, government energy research, and military programs. In addition to radionuclides, the bulk of the waste consists of natural and synthetic organic materials. These wastes are usually disposed of in shallow-land trenches…
This volume in the Cosmetic Science and Technology series covers the important rheological aspects of cosmetic and toiletry formulations, including theoretical physical chemistry, instrumentation and measuring techniques, raw materials and stability predictions. The work discusses the specific rheological requirements of nail polish, antipersirants and deodorants, dentifrices, hair care product…
