C.T Forwood , and L.M Clarebrough Manufacturer: Taylor & Francis ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0750301163 |
Book Description
Electron Microscopy of Interfaces in Metals and Alloys examines the structure of interfaces in metals and alloys using transmission electron microscopy. The book presents quantitative methods of analysis and reviews the most significant work on interface structure over the last 20 years. It provides the first book description of the methods used for quantitative identification of Burgers vectors of interfacial dislocations, including the geometric analysis of periodicities in interface structure and the comparison of experimental and theoretical electron micrographs. The book explores low- and high-angle grain boundaries and interphase interfaces between neighboring grains, emphasizing interfacial dislocations and rigid-body displacements to the structure and properties of interfaces. It also analyzes the use of two-beam images and diffraction patterns for analysis and studies n-beam lattice imaging. The book includes numerous worked examples of the analysis of the structure of grain boundaries and interphaseinterfaces, which are particularly useful to those who need to consider the nature of intercrystalline interfaces.

Electronic Structure of Alloys, Surfaces and Clusters (Advances in Condensed Matter Science)
Manufacturer: CRC ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0415272491 |
Book Description
Understanding the electronic structure of solids is a basic part of theoretical investigation in physics. Application of investigative techniques requires the solid under investigation to be "periodic." However, this is not always the case. This volume addresses three classes of "non-periodic" solids currently undergoing the most study: alloys, surfaces and clusters. Understanding the electronic structure of these systems is fundamental not only for the basic science, but also constitutes a very important step in various technological aspects, such as tuning their stabilities, chemical and catalytic reactivities and magnetism. Expert practitioners give an up-to-date account of the field with enough detailed background so that even a newcomer can follow the development. The theoretical framework is discussed in addition to the present status of knowledge in the field. Electronic Structure of Alloys, Surfaces and Clusters also includes an extensive bibliography which provides a comprehensive reading list of work on the topic.

Analysis of the Transition in Deformation Mechanisms in Superplastic 5083 Aluminum Alloys by Orientation Imaging Microscopy
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423523083 |
Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A417404. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Recently developed Orientation Imaging Microscopy (OIM) methods have been applied to the analysis of microstructure and microtexture of 5083 aluminum alloy materials that have been processed to enable superplasticity. The phenomenon of superplasticity allows economical forming of complex components while retaining the high strength- and stiffness-to-weight ratios characteristic of aluminum alloys used in automotive, aerospace and military applications. Superplasticity requires fine grains with high-angle boundaries and resistance to failure by cavitation. OIM permits grain-specific orientation determination and quantitative assessment of the grain-to-grain disorientation distribution as well as grain size measurement in materials. The current work offers significant new insights into the development and response of superplastic microstructures; in particular, OIM data may be employed to delineate the transition from slip to grain boundary sliding in superplastic 5083 materials.

An Assessment of the Recruiting Station Location Evaluation System (RSLES)
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423538145 |
Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A383873. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The purpose of this thesis is to assess the effectiveness of the Recruiting Station Location Evaluation System (RSLES) optimization model developed at Naval Postgraduate School as a result of the OSD Recruiting Station Location Project. RSLES was designed to aid DoD decision-makers in determining the optimum number of recruiting stations, their geographic location and staff size. The optimization procedure attempts to maximize contract production subject to service budget constraints. This system integrates an Access database, a GAMS optimizer and Mapinfo graphics to provide a flexible environment to maximize production through market analysis and demographic information. This research applies RSLES to 39 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) under three different stationing scenarios and analyzes the output to determine the effectiveness of the model. The recommended station location actions of the RSLES model are compared to actual stationing decisions made by the Navy and Army in fiscal years 1999 and 2000. The comparisons show that applying the RSLES model could increase Army and Navy contract production by 3, 938 high-quality accessions for all 256 MSA's in the U.S.

Characteristics of a Cambered Circulation Control Airfoil Having Both Upper and Lower Surface Trailing Edge Slots
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423518977 |
Product Description
This is a NAVAL SURFACE WARFARE CENTER CARDEROCK DIV BETHESDA MD report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A628524. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: A circulation control (CC) elliptic airfoil section with a thickness- to-chord ratio of 0.17 and 1- percent circular arc camber, was experimentally evaluated to determine its low speed aerodynamic characteristics. The model profile is that of a previously tested single upper surface trailing edge slot airfoil, modified to incorporate an additional blowing slot on the lower surface. The main objective of this initial test was to determine if the control range, that is the range of lift coefficient available at a given angle-of- attack and momentum coefficient, could be increased without compromising the performance previously obtained with the single slot version. Test results show that the control range is more than doubled and there is no impact on upper surface only blowing performance. The range of lift coefficient produced at alpha equals zero degrees, using a combination of upper and lower slot only blowing is C1 from +3.6 to -4.0. Blowing efficiency when using the lower slot was found to be higher than that obtained when using the upper slot. This finding was somewhat unexpected, since lower surface blowing is equivalent to using CC on a negatively cambered airfoil. Data was acquired using either only the upper or lower surface slot or with dual blowing, that is simultaneous upper and lower slot blowing.

Cognitive Behavioral Determinants of Exercise Participation in a Structured Program
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423548906 |
Product Description
This is a AIR FORCE INST OF TECH WRIGHT-PATTERSONAFB OH report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A174604. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: Lack of exercise is a chronic problem in the United States today. Many health problems such as obesity, heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and some forms of cancer have been directly related to sedentary lifestyles. Mental health has also been positively correlated with exercise. However, women are more likely than men to be sedentary, and older women are among the least active group. Therefore, research that examines the variables involved in why people choose to exercise are important since it may help the medical community learn the best ways to motivate people to adopt a habit of exercising. There are many components of behavior that have an impact on why people decide to behave in a certain way. By breaking down these components and examining them independently, specific aspects of behavior may stand out as more important in influencing action with regard to exercise. Behavioral psychologists have been studying these concepts for years and many theories have emerged that attempt to explain human behavior. Icek Ajzen's theory of planned behavior and Albert Bandura's self-efficacy theory are two of the leading theories that affempt to explain behavior. This study comp&ed two groups: one group of women who had volunteered for an exercise study (volunteers), and another group who were eligible for the same study but who chose no to participate (non-volunteers). Self-efficacy and the theory of planned behavior were examined to see if their constructs were determinants for exercise participation in a structured program for this group of older women.

Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers: The EMTO Method and Applications (Engineering Materials and Processes)
Levente Vitos Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 1846289505 |
Book Description
Traditionally, new materials have been developed by empirically correlating their chemical composition, and the manufacturing processes used to form them, with their properties. Until recently, metallurgists have not used quantum theory for practical purposes. However, the development of modern density functional methods means that today, computational quantum mechanics can help engineers to identify and develop novel materials.
Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers describes new approaches to the modelling of disordered alloys that combine the most efficient quantum-level theories of random alloys with the most sophisticated numerical techniques to establish a theoretical insight into the electronic structure of complex materials such as stainless steels, Hume-Rothery alloys and silicates. The practical success of these approaches to applications in all of these areas are covered in detail. The new EMTO-CPA method is detailed, including its application in alloys to model structural stability and elastic properties of random alloys of arbitrary composition and the effect of alloying elements on elastic stiffnesses stacking fault energies and structural parameters. The EMTO-CPA method makes new approaches to computational alloy design feasible. Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers shows how the technique will soon allow materials engineers to become "quantum blacksmiths".
Computational Quantum Mechanics for Materials Engineers will interest researchers and postgraduate students in materials science and engineering, solid-state physics and applied quantum mechanics.

Eve Marx Manufacturer: Cover to Cover Pub ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Accessories: ASIN: 0971162603 |
Book Description
Looking for the perfect year-round read? Go no further: stretch out and relax with the fun and frolic of Eve Marx's "View from the Porch: Tales from the Anti-Hamptons," a rollicking, goodtime, laugh-out-loud volume of short takes on the über-family circus. Her delicious style of humor will remind readers of the comic wit of Nora Ephron, Dave Barry and Fran Lebowitz.An award-winning columnist with an edge, Ms. Marx captures the carnival of today's high-powered suburban living in short, breathless takes. She pokes fun at overworked husbands who need naps before bedtime, middle-aged women who yearn to goddess dance like they do on Sex in the City, and former gourmets who must knuckle under to the tyranny of their children to appreciate fine dining at Mickey D's. "Even as the fat police and other cholesterol-counting naysayers denounce the place, those golden arches are our Mecca, our inspiration, our nemesis," she writes.
Since her community is also a privileged and star-studded one (with the likes of Chevy Chase, Glenn Close, Martha Stewart and Ralph Lauren tooling around incognito), Ms. Marx makes light of what it's like for an ordinary person to keep up with the celebrity Joneses. It's not the Hamptons - it's the anti-Hamptons, where the stars go to live normal lives.
