The two-volume set LNAI 7120 and LNAI 7121 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Advanced Data Mining and Applications, ADMA 2011, held in Beijing, China, in December 2011. The 35 revised full papers and 29 short papers presented together with 3 keynote speeches were carefully reviewed and selected from 191 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics presenting original research findings in data mining, spanning applications, algorithms, software and systems, and applied disciplines.
Advances in Ceramic Matrix Composites, Second Edition, delivers an innovative approach to ceramic matrix composites, focusing on the latest advances and materials developments. As advanced ceramics and composite materials are increasingly utilized as components in batteries, fuel cells, sensors, high-temperature electronics, membranes and high-end biomedical devices, and in seals, valves, implants, and high-temperature and wear components, this book explores the substantial progress in new applications. Users will gain knowledge of the latest advances in CMCs, with an update on the role of ceramics in the fabrication of Solid Oxide Fuel Cells for energy generation, and on natural fiber-reinf...
Though China's economy is projected to become the world's largest within the next twenty years, industrial pollution threatens both the health of the country's citizens and the natural resources on which their economy depends. Capturing the consequences of this reality, Bryan Tilt conducts an in-depth, ethnographic study of Futian Township, a rural community reeling from pollution. The industrial township is located in the populous southwestern province of Sichuan. Three local factories-a zinc smelter, a coking plant, and a coal-washing plant-produce air and water pollution that far exceeds the standards set by the World Health Organization and China's Ministry of Environmental Protection. I...
This volume comprises the select proceedings of FiMPART 2015. The volume covers advances in major areas of materials research under one umbrella. This volume covers all aspects of materials research, processing, fabrication, structure/property evaluation, applications of ferrous, non-ferrous, ceramic, polymeric materials and composites including biomaterials, materials for energy, fuel cells/hydrogen storage technologies, batteries, super-capacitors, nano-materials for energy and structural applications, aerospace structural metallic materials, bulk metallic glasses and other advanced materials. The book will be useful to researchers, students, and professional working in areas related to materials innovation and applications.
High Entropy Materials covers the fundamental concepts of these materials and their emerging applications. To fulfil growing energy demand, scientists are looking for novel materials which can be used for the fabrication of high-performance energy devices. Many materials such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and metal oxides are used in energy production and storage. A new class of metal oxides, multicomponent metal oxides, known as high entropy materials, have attracted considerable attention not only for their energy applications but also other emerging applications such as use in sensors, catalysts, and CO2 absorption. Key Features: Reviews state-of-the-art developments Provides new directions to scientists, researchers, and students to better understand the principles, technologies, and applications of high entropy materials Discusses ongoing challenges and visions for the future
This book presents a state-of-the-art overview of the major aspects involved in the science, technology and applications of ceramics, glasses and glass-ceramics. After providing an historical perspective of the development and use of ceramics and glasses along the Silk Road, the theoretical background and fabrication techniques of such materials are described and discussed. A special focus is dedicated to emerging high-tech applications in various fields, including medicine, energy, optics and photonics, sensors, sustainability and circular economy. The chapters are written by leading experts in their respective fields and highlight the contemporary challenges associated to each topic. This book will serve as a valuable reference for both early-stage and skilled researchers as well as industry professionals interested in the broad field of glasses and ceramics.
Gain insight into the mechanical properties and performance of engineering ceramics and composites. This collection of articles illustrates the Mechanical Behavior and Performance of Ceramics & Composites symposium, which included over 100 presentations representing 10 countries. The symposium addressed the cutting-edge topics on mechanical properties and reliability of ceramics and composites and their correlations to processing, microstructure, and environmental effects.
This volume is a collection of 17 papers from six symposia held during the 8th Pacific Rim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology (PACRIM-8) in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, May 31-June 5, 2009. These symposia include: Glasses and Ceramics for Nuclear and Hazardous Waste Treatment Solid Oxide Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Technology Ceramics for Electric Energy Generation, Storage and Distribution Photocatalytic Materials: Reaction, Processing, and Applications Direct Thermal to Electrical Energy Conversion Materials and Applications PACRIM-8 is the eight in a series of international conferences on emerging ceramic technologies that began in 1993. PACRIM-8 was organized and sponsored by The American Ceramic Society and was endorsed by The Australian Ceramic Society, The Ceramic Society of Japan, The Chinese Ceramic Society, and The Korean Ceramic Society. A total of 862 experts, practitioners, and end users from forty-one countries attended PACRIM-8, making it one of the most successful ceramic science and engineering events in recent years.
