Adaptive Individuals In Evolving Populations Models And Algorithms

Adaptive Individuals In Evolving Populations Models And Algorithms

This book is out of a workshop organized to address questions like these. The meeting was sponsored by the Santa Fe Institute and held at Sol y Sam- bra in Santa Fe New Mexico during July 1993. It brought together a group of about 20 scientists from the disciplines of biology psychology and computer science all studying interactions between the evolution of populations and individuals’ adaptations in those populations and all of whom make some use of computational tools in their work. | Adaptive Individuals In Evolving Populations Models And Algorithms

Ceramic Processing

Ceramic Processing

Many of the properties critical to the engineering applications of ceramics are strongly dependent on their microstructure which in turn is dependent on the processing methods used to produce the ceramic material. Ceramic Processing Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of the principles and practical methods used in producing ceramics with controlled microstructure. Covering the main steps in the production of ceramics from powders the book also provides succinct coverage of other methods for fabricating ceramics such as sol−gel processing reaction bonding chemical vapor deposition and polymer pyrolysis. While maintaining the objectives of the successful first edition this new edition has been revised and updated to include recent developments and expanded to feature new chapters on additives used in ceramic processing; rheological properties of suspensions slurries and pastes; granulation mixing and packing of particles; and sintering theory and principles. Intended as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in ceramic processing the book also provides an indispensable resource for research and development engineers in industry who are involved in the production of ceramics or who would like to develop a background in the processing of ceramics.

Colloidal Silica Fundamentals and Applications

Colloidal Silica Fundamentals and Applications

In spite of the apparent simplicity of silica’s composition and structure scientists are still investigating fundamental questions regarding the formation constitution and behavior of colloidal silica systems. Colloidal Silica: Fundamentals and Applications introduces new information on colloid science related to silica chemistry as well as theoretical and experimental aspects of significant areas of colloidal silica science and technology. This resource is dedicated to helping researchers find new uses of silica and answers to practical problems as its industrial use continues to grow steadily in traditional and novel areas. Written by leading silica scientists around the world this book reflects developments in the field since silica scientist Ralph K. Iler published his authoritative book on silica chemistry in 1979. It discusses properties and methods of characterization synthesis and preparation of silica in terms of industrial applications. Following an analysis of the surface chemistry of various silicas the book explores methods for measuring particle size and useful characterization techniques for determining structure stability and reactivity. The authors then focus on various studies analytical methods and current applications involving silica gels and powders silica coatings colloidal silica and sol-gel technology. Colloidal Silica: Fundamentals and Applications features up-to-date material relating to fields as diverse as catalysis metallurgy electronics glass ceramics paper and pulp technology optics elastomers food health care and industrial chromatography. It is ideal for scientists interested in silica chemistry and physics as well as those not familiar with the subject. | Colloidal Silica Fundamentals and Applications

Chemical Processing of Ceramics

Chemical Processing of Ceramics

Many believe that the silicon/information age is heading to the Age of Biology and that the next frontier in ceramics will most likely require molecular level or nanoscale control. What then is the role of ceramics in the age of biology? As we change from an energy-rich society to an energy-declining society how can ceramic materials appease the problem? This new edition of Chemical Processing of Ceramics offers a scientific and technological framework for achieving creative solutions to these questions. Edited by experts and containing chapters by leading researchers in the field the book uses an interdisciplinary approach to cover topics ranging from starting materials to device applications. The book begins with a discussion of starting material highlighting how to prepare and modify them in the nanoscale range. The chapter authors discuss the synthesis characterization and behavior of ceramic powders the processing of ceramic films via sol-gel technique and the fabrication of nonoxide ceramics. They also present coverage of several specific thin films membranes ferroelectrics bioceramics dieletrics batteries and superconductors. Although the book is edited it is organized to reflect the chemical sequence of ceramic processing and the coherent theme of chemical processing for advanced ceramic materials. The coverage of molecular/nanoprocessing techniques that result in new materials will enable researchers and engineers to meet the challenge of producing inorganic materials for use in the applications of the future.

Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications

Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications

Hydroxyapatite coatings are of great importance in the biological and biomedical coatings fields especially in the current era of nanotechnology and bioapplications. With a bonelike structure that promotes osseointegration hydroxyapatite coating can be applied to otherwise bioinactive implants to make their surface bioactive thus achieving faster healing and recovery. In addition to applications in orthopedic and dental implants this coating can also be used in drug delivery. Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications explores developments in the processing and property characterization and applications of hydroxyapatite to provide timely information for active researchers and newcomers alike. In eight carefully reviewed chapters hydroxyapatite experts from the United States Japan Singapore and China present the latest on topics ranging from deposition processes to biomedical applications in implants and drug delivery. This book discusses: Magnetron sputtering and electrochemical deposition The modification of hydroxyapatite properties by sol–gel deposition to incorporate other elements found in natural bones such as zinc magnesium and fluorine The use of pure hydroxyapatite in drug delivery applications The growth or self-assembly of hydroxyapatite on shape memory alloy Hydroxyapatite composite coatings—with carbon nanotubes titanium dioxide (TiO2) and others—on the titanium alloy Offering valuable insights and a wealth of data including numerous tables and figures this is a rich source of information for research on hydroxyapatite coatings. Each chapter also covers material that provides an accessible stepping stone for those who are new to the field.
