Processing of Nanoparticle Structures and Composites: Ceramic Transactions

Product Description
This volume features papers from the Controlled Processing of Nanoparticle Structures and Composites symposia held during the 2008 Materials Science and Technology conference (MS&T08). It provides a useful one-stop resource for understanding the most important issues in controlled processing of nanoparticle structures and composites. Logically organized and carefully selected articles give insight into controlled processing of nanoparticle structures and composites, covering topics such as nanoparticle-based bulk material templating, the structure of nanoparticulate aggregates of titania as a function of shear, and the role of lattice vibrations in a nanoscale electronic device.

Portable Technologies – Science Learning in Context (INNOVATIONS IN SCIENCE EDUCATION AND TECHNOLOGY

Product Description
Education has traditionally studied the world by bringing it into the classroom. This can result in situated learning that appears to students to have no relevance outside the classroom. Students acquire inert, decontextualized knowledge that they cannot apply to real problems. The obvious solution to this shortcoming is to reverse the situation and bring the classroom to the phenomena: to learn in a rich, real-world context. The problem with the real world is that it is complex and filled with interactions that are hard to sort out. The editors and authors believe that the right tools might help students with this sorting process and result in learning in rich contexts. This book is an account of a series of experiments designed to explore the validity of this insight.

Inside the Science Museum

Product Description
This lavishly illustrated book provides a unique insight into the inventions, images, discoveries, products and ephemera that make up the vast collections of the Science Museum. It vividly demonstrates the variety and often sheer beauty of the objects; it also tells some of the stories behind them. Together, the text and images chart a remarkable historical phenomenon — the emergence of the first industrial society. The book is divided into four sections: ‘Industry and Technology’ which features the tools, machines and engines that have dramatically changed Western lives. ‘Science’ which showcases the work of some of the world’s greatest scientists, and features the ever-changing worlds of genetic and computing. ‘Society’ which shows how technology has had a huge impact on medicine, agriculture, conditions in the workplace and home, and on our scope for leisure. Finally, ‘Museum’ goes behind the scenes at the Science Museum, briefly outlines its history and discusses the vision behind the Wellcome Wing.

Project Management for Successful Product Innovation

Product Description
A guide to managing projects involving the development of new products. It aims to give the practising project manager an insight into the many processes that are involved in handling one of the most complex of industrial activities. The book is arranged in a logical sequence covering the development of project management, project management structures, aspects of planning, monitoring and control, economics and value management, design management, intellectual property issues and production start-up. Particular emphasis has been given to risk management, which is recognized as both a difficult subject and also one of growing importance to today’s project manager, especially in product innovation. A complete explanation is given of relevant techniques, along with guidance as to where and how they should be applied. Where software tools are available these are named, and, in some cases, brief descriptions are included; in all cases contact details of the vendors are provided.
