Publisher description

The surface of an object is the first thing we see or touch. Nearly every article or object we encounter at home, in industry, land transportation, aerospace, or the medical field in some way uses an adhesive, a sealant, or a decorative coating. Adhesion science provides the technology and the know-how behind these applications. Recent Advances in

Written in a systematic and comprehensive manner, the book reports recent advances in the development of food science and technology areas. Advances in Food Science and Technology discusses many of the recent technical research accomplishments in the areas of food science and technology, such as food security as a global issue, food chemistry, frozen food and technology, as well as state-of-the-art developments concerning food production, properties, quality, trace element speciation, nanotechnology, and bionanocomposites for food packing applications. Specifically, this important book details: New innovative methods for food formulations and novel nanotechnology applications such as food packaging, enhanced barrier, active packaging, and intelligent packaging Freezing methods and equipment such as freezing by contact with cold air, cold liquid, and cold surfaces, cryogenic freezing, and a combination of freezing methods Chemical and functional properties of food components Bionanocomposites for natural food packing and natural biopolymer-based films such as polysaccharide films and protein films Regulatory aspects of food ingredients in the United States with the focus on the safety of enzyme preparations used in food

The remarkable properties of silk fibres have gained them a prominent place in the field of technical textiles. Advances in Silk Science and Technology explores recent developments in silk processing, properties and applications. Techniques for manufacturing spider silk are also discussed and the current and future applications of this fibre are reviewed. Part One focuses on the properties and processing of silk from both silkworms and spiders. It addresses recent advances in our understanding of the properties of silk and offers systematic coverage of the processing of silk from spinning through to finishing, as well as an analysis of quality testing for silk fibres, yarns and fabrics. Part Two then addresses important applications of silk from silkworms and spiders, and includes chapters on the use of silk in polymer matrix composites and in different kinds of biomaterial. The book concludes with a chapter on developments in the use of silk waste. - Reviews the properties of silk from both silkworms and spiders - Offers systematic coverage of the processing of silk from spinning through to finishing - Cover a range of applications, including on the use of silk in polymer matrix composites and in different kinds of biomaterial

Aerospace science and technology have made remarkable progress in the last century. Although a few publications have written on this topic, most are inadequate in elucidating the various advanced technologies developed in recent years. For this reason, publishing a book in which prominent researchers elaborate and discuss their research efforts in conjunction with other efforts appears sensible. In this book, the most accurate and current materials were gathered, reviewed, and presented by an exceptional group of experts. This book presents state-of-the-art and current developments and applications in aerospace. This is a Part II continuation book of previously published edited book composed of the following:· Chapter 1: Application of High-Performance Interconnection in Aerospace Technology· Chapter 2: Knitted Structures in Aerospace Applications· Chapter 3: Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Hierarchical Carbon Fibre Composites· Chapter 4: Influence of Aviation Fuel on Composite Materials· Chapter 5: Deterioration in Aero-Engines· Chapter 6: Important Aerodyamic Parameters in Flapping-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles· Chapter 7: Visual Localisation and Mapping using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles· Chapter 8: Geospatial Mapping Using SatellitesThis book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals in the field of aeronautical/aerospace engineering. The book could also serve as a guide for engineers and practitioners, academicians, government agencies, and industries.

Recent innovations and new technologies in education have altered the way teachers approach instruction and learning and can provide countless advantages. The pedagogical value of specific technology tools and the cumulative effects of technology exposure on student learning over time are two areas that need to be explored to better determine the improvements needed in the modern classroom. Advanced Methodologies and Technologies in Modern Education Delivery provides emerging research on educational models in the continually improving classroom. While highlighting the challenges facing modern in-service and pre-service teachers when educating students, readers will learn information on new methods in curriculum development, instructional design, and learning assessments to implement within their classrooms. This book is a vital resource for pre-service and in-service teachers, teacher education professionals, higher education administrative professionals, and researchers interested in new curriculum development.
