Educational Gerontology

The term "educational gerontology" was first used in a 1970 doctoral program at the University of Michigan to denote those "activities and study that occur at the interface of education and gerontology" (Peterson 1980: 68).It achieved acade...

An Introduction to Gerontology

With the world's population getting increasingly older, there has never been a more pressing need for the study of old age and ageing. An Introduction to Gerontology provides a wide-ranging introduction to this important topic. By assuming ...

Soft x-ray high-harmonic generation in an anti-resonant hollow core fiber driven by a 3 μm ultrafast laser

High-harmonic upconversion driven by a mid-infrared femtosecond laser can generate coherent soft x-ray beams in a tabletop-scale setup. Here, we report on a compact ytterbium-pumped optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier (OPCPA) laser s...

Influence of chemical composition and discontinuities on energy transformation and rock mass behaviour: Insights into geological dynamic

Abstract In this study, efforts were made to incorporate the influence of discontinuities and failure modes of rock into the classification of rock masses. The past tectonic activities may create microfractures in the rock body therefore th...

THE CHALLENGE OF ‘TECHNOLOGICAL CHOICES’FOR MATERIALS SCIENCE APPROACHES IN ARCHAEOLOGY*

Recently several anthropological and sociological studies have interpreted technologies as cultural choices that are determined as much by local perceptions and the social context fly any material constraints or purely functional criteria. ...

The Coming of Materials Science

The Coming of Materials Science , Robert W. Cahn Pergamon, New York, 2001. $64.00 (568 pp.). isbn 0-08-042679-4 If one takes the broadest view, a significant fraction of modern-day physicists are materials scientists. Similarly, many chemis...

Principles of Materials Science and Engineering

This book attempts to provide basic knowledge about the structure, properties, and processing of engineering materials and their applications. The first chapter gives an introduction to materials science and engineering and briefly describe...

Big data and machine learning for materials science

Herein, we review aspects of leading-edge research and innovation in materials science that exploit big data and machine learning (ML), two computer science concepts that combine to yield computational intelligence. ML can accelerate the so...

Simulation and experimental verification of the edge effect of composites on the infiltration process of RTM forming

To study the influence of edge effects on the resin filling flow pattern in the RTM process of composite materials, the finite element software PAM-RTM was used to simulate and analyze the impregnation process of the blade preforms in RTM.B...

Second hyperpolarizability of hexagonal graphene quantum dots: Effects of size and structural defects

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are nanosized fragments of graphene containing a bandgap caused by edge effects and quantum confinement. These features enable GQDs to have attractive photonics applications. During the preparation of graphene n...

Dekker encyclopedia of nanoscience and nanotechnology

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION The science of the ultra small nanoscience has dramatically exploded during the last few years, and the technologies operating with ultra small things the nanotechnologies acquired quickly a firm position in today ...

Nanotechnology in Dermatology

The scientific community and general public have been exposed to a series of achievements attributed to a new area of knowledge: Nanotechnology. Both abroad and in Brazil, funding agencies have launched programs aimed at encouraging this ty...

Proceedings of APCE-CECE-ITP-IUPAC 2022

In a demonstration of modern analytical chemistry at its best, the International Interdisciplinary Conference of Chemical Analysis, APCE-CECE-ITP-IUPAC 2022 was held after two years of COVID-19-related delays in Siem Reap, Cambodia. The qua...

Wearable armband with a floating mobile exploratory electrode at fingertip for on-demand touch-and-measure multilead electrocardiography

Spurred by the global pandemic, research in health monitoring has pivoted towards the development of smart garments, enabling long-term tracking of individuals’ cardiovascular health by continuously monitoring the electrocardiogram (ECG) an...

How interdisciplinary is nanotechnology?

Facilitating cross-disciplinary research has attracted much attention in recent years, with special concerns in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Although policy discourse has emphasized that nanotechnology is substantively integrative, some ...

Environmental Risks of Nanotechnology: National Nanotechnology Initiative Funding, 2000−2004

By considering risk in the early stages of a technology, costs of identifying important health and environmental impacts after a technology has widely diffused can be avoided. Nanotechnology, involving materials and objects less than 100 nm...

Adult Education and Globally Engaged Trainers: The Case of Vocational Training Institutes

Globalization provides access to people, services, goods, ideas, beliefs and values in a new way and poses fundamental challenges for all areas of education in every country. Education on global issues is a process of individual and collect...

Agricultural Transformations and Their Influential Factors Revealed by Archaeobotanical Evidence in Holocene Jiangsu Province, Eastern China

The development and adoption of agriculture has been investigated for decades, and remains a central topic within archaeology. However, most previous studies focus on the crop’s domestication centers, leading to gaps in knowledge, particula...

The archaeology of knowledge

Archaeologies of the Contemporary Past

Archaeologies of the Contemporary Past turns what is usually seen as a method for investigating the distant past onto the present. In doing so, it reveals fresh ways of looking both at ourselves and modern society as well as the discipline ...
