Focused on the challenges of manufacturing polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, this dissertation explores the cause-effect relationships in track-bound longitudinal face grinding and force-controlled plunge face grinding. It presents explanatory models that detail the mechanisms of material removal and grinding wheel wear specific to this superhard cutting material, offering valuable insights into improving grinding processes.
What is thinking and how does it develop? Are we born knowing the difference between right and wrong, and how does this change as we age? Can genes determine how we think and who we are? In this fascinating volume expert developmental psychologists Jeremy Carpendale and Charlie Lewis answer these questions and more.
Author Jeremy Dale believes that too many businesses create an environment
that encourages mediocrity and corporate norms that deliver lukewarm results
at best. In The Punk Rock of Business, Dale offers a road map away from
average and towards innovation through a mindset rooted in punk rock
principles.
Focusing on developmental psychology, the book explores key areas through empirical research and theoretical discussions. It highlights the influence of cognitive neuroscience on our understanding of child development, presenting new research findings that enhance comprehension of how children grow and learn.
The book presents the basic information needed to understand and to organize
the huge amount of known structures of crystalline solids. Its basis is
crystallographic group theory (space group theory), with special emphasis on
the relations between the symmetry properties of crystals.
Scale & Perception documents an exhibition of the work of Rotterdam-based architects Casanova + Hernandez at the Architektur Galerie Berlin, and includes their manifesto "Scale & Perception."
This revised Second Edition of Inorganic Structural Chemistry explores advancements in structural inorganic chemistry, focusing on crystalline solids and atomic arrangement. It covers key topics like symmetry, phase transitions, chemical bonding, and nanostructures, integrating traditional and modern theories to connect structure with properties.
The contents of this book has been the subject of a lecture course, which the first author has held regularly for engineering students at the Technical University of Karlsruhe beginning in 1987. The book serves two purposes. It introduces students in their fourth year study of basic engineering and grad uate students to the fundamentals of magnetohydrodynamics. Furthermore, it may be used by engineers and physicists in research establishments and industry as a practical tool to become familiar with the particular phenom ena of magneto-thermohydraulics that they may encounter in technical liquid metal flows under the influence of magnetic fields. The contents and structure of the book are motivated by the research and development work for a self-cooled liquid metal blanket of future nuclear fu sion reactors. The research requirements for such a challenging project natu rally lead to the frontiers of magnetohydrodynamic research. This is reflected in the book by references to several publications and reports performed at the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe and other research establishments. However, we are convinced that the advancement of magnetohydrodynamic knowledge gained within the framework of the Fusion Reactor Project may be utilized in other fields of engineering sciences.
