Micro and Nanomachining Technology - Size Model and Complex Mechanism

Xuesong Han

Maison d'édition: Bentham Science Publishers

Synopsis

Recent advances in science and technology such as online monitoring techniques, coupling of various processing methods, surface characterization and measurement techniques have greatly promoted the development of ultraprecise machining technology. This precision now falls into the micrometer and nanometer range  - hence the name micro & nanomachining technology (MNT). 
 
Machining is a complex phenomenon associated with a variety of different mechanical, physical, and chemical processes.
Common principles defining control mechanisms such as O Jamie de geometry, Newton mechanics, Macroscopic Thermodynamics and Electromagnetics are not applicable to phenomena occurring at the nanometer scale whereas quantum effects, wave characteristics and the microscopic fluctuation become the dominant factors. A remarkable enhancement in computational capability through advanced computer hardware and high performance computation techniques (parallel computation) has enabled researchers to employ  large scale parallel numerical simulations to investigate micro & nanomachining technologies and gain insights into related processes. 
Micro and Nanomachining Technology - Size, Model and Complex Mechanism introduces readers  to the basics of micro & nanomachining  (MNT) technology and covers some of the above techniques including molecular dynamics and finite element simulations, as well as complexity property and multiscale MNT methods.
This book meets the growing need of Masters students or Ph.D. students studying nanotechnology, mechanical engineering or materials engineering, allowing them to understand the design and process issues associated with precision machine tools and the fabrication of precision components.

Love Drugs - The Chemical Future...

Julian Savulescu, Brian D. Earp

Is there a pill for love? What about an "anti-love drug," to help us get over an ex? This book argues that certain psychoactive substances, including MDMA—the active ingredient in Ecstasy—may help ordinary couples work through relationship difficulties and strengthen their connection. Others may help sever an emotional connection during a breakup. These substances already exist, and they have transformative implications for how we think about love. This book builds a case for conducting research into "love drugs" and "anti-love drugs" and explores their ethical implications for individuals and society. Scandalously, Western medicine tends to ignore the interpersonal effects of drug-based interventions. Why are we still in the dark about the effects of these drugs on romantic partnerships? And how can we overhaul scientific research norms to take relationships more fully into account? 
 
 
 
Ethicists Brian D. Earp and Julian Savulescu say that the time to think through such questions is now. Love Drugs arms us with the latest scientific knowledge and a set of ethical tools that we can use to decide if these sorts of medications should be a part of our society. Or whether a chemical romance will be right for us.

Of Man and Beast - Further...

Willie Labuschagne

Step behind the scenes of one of the world's top ten zoological gardens with Willie Labuschagne in his captivating second memoir, Of Man and Beast. As director during a time of intense political change and unprecedented challenges in South Africa, Willie recounts his wild journey with humour, suspense, and unflinching honesty.
From managing the needs of over 9 000 animals during the first-ever massive staff strike, to navigating the intricate politics of acquiring unique species as diplomatic gifts for Nelson Mandela, Willie's stories are as enlightening as they are entertaining. He shares thrilling close encounters with wild animals, and the light-hearted moments that make every day in the zoo an adventure.
Willie's experiences extend beyond the zoo's boundaries – from an intimidating passage through Checkpoint Charlie in 1987 to life-threatening situations in the depths of the Congolese jungle. His compelling narrative underscores the pivotal and indispensable role zoos play in conservation and discusses their evolution in 'biological gardens', inviting readers to understand the crucial importance of controlled breeding in conservation and the preservation of endangered species.
Of Man and Beast is not just an account of a man's life among animals, but a profound look at the responsibilities we share in safeguarding our planet's diverse inhabitants. Willie asks readers to reflect on the future of wildlife conservation, poised between the extremes of poaching and habitat destruction.
This book is a must-read for anyone passionate about wildlife, conservation, and the extraordinary stories of a man who has dedicated his life to understanding and protecting the natural world. Join Willie as he leads us through his incredible journey, exploring the complex relationship between man and beast, and the enduring impact of his work on our global ecosystem.
Of Man and Beast is an urgent, beautiful homage to the wild connections that bind us all.
