Biomedical Materials Drug Delivery, Implants, and Tissue

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Neenan, Thomas / Valentini, Robert F. / Marcolongo, Michele, PUBLISHER: Materials Research Society, The continual growth and increasing sophistication of biomaterials industries has been driven in large part by advances in the basic sciences of the materials involved. Indeed, advances in understanding biological systems at the molecular level have quickly been exploited by materials scientists to develop more sophisticated approaches to therapeutics and diagnostics. The interdisciplinarity and breadth of the biomaterials field necessitates the close cooperation of scientists in many different fields, including materials science, chemistry, biology, engineering and medicine. This volume brings together researchers in many of these converging fields to report on recent advances and to stimulate further discussion and research in these vital areas of discovery and development.

Writing Desk Charles Rennie Mackintosh

Made by cabinetmaker Alex Martin in . This writing desk for Walter Blackie, for The Hill House, Helensburgh, is considered to be one of Mackintosh's most accomplished pieces of furniture design. Three working designs exist for this piece (all in the collection of Glasgow University), showing the desk's evolution and reflecting discussions that must have taken place between Mackintosh and Blackie. The ebonised wood is inlaid with luxurious materials that reflect the composite shapes of the desk: squares of mother-of-pearl on the doors, and dotted lines of ivory along the top curves. The result is a piece of furniture with proportional and musical harmony.

Structural Concrete Structural Concrete: Theory and Design

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hassoun, Nadim M. / Hassoun, M. Nadim, PUBLISHER: Prentice Hall, Revised to adhere to the latest American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code requirements for the design of structural concrete. Presenting the analysis and design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete elements, Structural Concrete is exceptionally logical and easy to read. Accuracy of calculations (Section 1.11) helps readers understand the accuracy of calculations in engineering design. Additional examples elaborate on the behavior of reinforced concrete beams at failure and combine structural analysis with concrete design. Section on Coulomb theory for soil pressure provides an alternative approach to calculate the soil pressure considering the friction of soil on retaining walls. Section on partially prestressed concrete explains the range of partial prestressing between a lower limit of reinforced concrete and an upper limit of full prestressing. In-depth treatment of the ultimate strength concept of reinforced concrete explains the concept of concrete beams behavior up to failure with mathematical analysis of forces developed in concrete and steel. Discusses the design of different types of stairs and the design of curved beams.

Do the Right Thing: Studies in Limited Rationality

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Russell, Stuart J. / Wefald, Eric H., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Like Mooki, the hero of Spike Lee's film "Do the Right Thing," artificially intelligent systems have a hard time knowing what to do in all circumstances. Classical theories of perfect rationality prescribe the "right thing" for any occasion, but no finite agent can compute their prescriptions fast enough. In "Do the Right Thing, " the authors argue that a new theoretical foundation for artificial intelligence can be constructed in which rationality is a property of "programs" within a finite architecture, and their behavior over time in the task environment, rather than a property of individual decisions. "Do the Right Thing" suggests that the rich structure that seems to be exhibited by humans, and ought to be exhibited by AI systems, is a necessary result of the pressure for optimal behavior operating within a system of strictly limited resources. It provides an outline for the design of new intelligent systems and describes theoretical and practical tools for bringing about intelligent behavior in finite machines. The tools are applied to game planning and real-time problem solving, with surprising results. Contents: Limited Rationality. Execution Architectures for Decision Procedures. Metareasoning Architecture. Rational Metareasoning. Application to Game Playing. Application to Problem Solving Search. Learning the Value of Computation. Toward Limited Rational Agents.

The First Imperial Age: European Overseas Expansion

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Scammell, Geoffrey V. / Scammell, G. / Scammell Geoffr, PUBLISHER: Routledge, The First Imperial Age explores the origins of Europe's rise to world hegemony in the early modern period. After a slow start in the s, the pace of European exploration and discovery quickened dramatically. By the end of the period, Europeans, in pursuit of Asia and the opportunities encountered en route, had determined the outlines of Africa, discovered and partly subjugated the Americans, opened a sea route to the Far East and established themselves in the great maritime economy of Asia. Scammell's detached and skeptical view highlights the ambiguities inherent in these triumphs.
