Ceramic Materials
Author: Philippe Boch
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470394544
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 593
Book Description
This book is primarily an introduction to the vast family of ceramic materials. The first part is devoted to the basics of ceramics and processes: raw materials, powders synthesis, shaping and sintering. It discusses traditional ceramics as well as “technical” ceramics – both oxide and non-oxide – which have multiple developments. The second part focuses on properties and applications, and discusses both structural and functional ceramics, including bioceramics. The fields of abrasion, cutting and tribology illustrate the importance of mechanical properties. It also deals with the questions/answers of a ceramicist regarding electronuclear technology. As chemistry is an essential discipline for ceramicists, the book shows, in particular, what soft chemistry can contribute as a result of sol-gel methods.

Local Economies?

Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004309780
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 652
Book Description
The Roman economy was operated significantly above subsistence level, with production being stimulated by both taxation and trade. Some regions became wealthy on the basis of exporting low-value agricultural products across the Mediterranean. In contrast, it has usually been assumed that the high costs of land transport kept inland regions relatively poor. This volume challenges these assumptions by presenting new research on production and exchange within inland regions. The papers, supported by detailed bibliographic essays, range from Britain to Jordan. They reveal robust agricultural economies in many interior regions. Here, some wealth did come from high value products, which could defy transport costs. However, ceramics also indicate local exchange systems, capable of generating wealth without being integrated into inter-regional trading networks. The role of the State in generating production and exchange is visible, but often co-existed with local market systems. Contributors are Alyssa A. Bandow, Fanny Bessard, Michel Bonifay, Kim Bowes, Stefano Costa, Jeremy Evans, Elizabeth Fentress, Piroska Hárshegyi, Adam Izdebski, Luke Lavan, Tamara Lewit, Phil Mills, Katalin Ottományi, Peter Sarris, Emanuele Vaccaro, Agnès Vokaer, Mark Whittow and Andrea Zerbini.

Active Control in Mechanical Engineering
Author: Louis Jézéquel
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 9782866014506
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 458
Book Description
Active control can be applied in a variety of mechanical engineering settings. The contributions to this book include the application of active control to increase the critical flutter speed of an aircraft, and developments in the active isolation of engines, advanced suspension of vehicles and active noise control systems. The authors also cover applications in civil engineering, such as reducing the influence of wind or earthquakes in buildings.

ISBN:
Category : Art pottery
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
Publié à l'occasion de l'exposition d'oeuvres choisies et envoyées par les membres de l'Académie internationale de la céramique (AIC) qui se tiendra à la Cité de la Céramique de Sèvres du 15 septembre 2010 au 10 janvier 2011. Les expositions de l'AIC (tous les 2 ans au quatre coins du monde) donnent lieu à une publication où sont rassemblés les débats des assemblées générales et, le regroupement des oeuvres par affinités matérielles et plastiques. Tout membre est sélectionné dans chaque pays par ses pairs, ainsi le lecteur retrouvera les maîtres de la céramique dans un catalogue qui s'apparente à un annuaire de la céramique mondiale. L'intérêt de ce livre est de faire voyager à travers le monde en retrouvant des caractéristiques de "terres du monde" restituant le souflle d'ateliers ancestraux, mais le voyage s'apparente aussi à un circuit parmi les plus grands musées d'art contemporain japonais, américains ou européens.

Proceedings of the Ninth International Dakhleh Oasis Project Conference
Author: Colin A. Hope
Publisher: Oxbow Books
ISBN: 1789253772
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1183
Book Description
This new volume in the Oasis Papers series marks the 40th anniversary of archaeological fieldwork in the Dakhleh Oasis in Egypt’s Western Desert under the leadership of Anthony J. Mills and presents a synthesis of the current state of our knowledge of the oasis and its interconnections with surrounding regions, especially the Nile Valley. The papers are by distinguished authorities in the field and postgraduate students who specialise in different aspects of Dakhleh and presents an almost complete survey of the archaeology of Dakhleh including much unpublished, original material. It will be one of the few to document a specific part of modern Egypt in such detail and thus should have a broad and lasting appeal. The content of some of the papers is unlikely to be published in any other form elsewhere. Dakhleh is possibly the most intensively examined wider geographic region within Egypt.
