Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as three-dimensional (3D) printing, is a relatively new manufacturing technique that has gained significant industrial interest. AM is a key low-carbon manufacturing technology incorporating net-shaping whilst avoiding complex process chains. This manufacturing technique is appealing for a variety of applications, including aerospace, oil, gas, marine, automotive, biomedical, and nuclear, due to advantages such as component design freedom, component complexity, light weighting, toolless nature, part consolidation, and decreased material waste. To overcome the performance limitations and to take advantage of the alloy design opportunities provided by AM technology, a new generation of alloys suitable for AM is needed. In addition to this, optimising process parameters and microstructure evolution during AM can lead to improved mechanical, corrosion, fatigue, irradiation, and wear properties, amongst other benefits. With a view to select the best a

Educational Theories and Techniques for Genetic Counselors provides an overview of central aspects of effective education by and for genetic counselors, beginning with insights from the general and genetic counseling education literature and moving through a survey of the structure and function of genetic counselor education in North America. In the opening two sections, Bonnie Baty and Claire Davis take a critical look at genetic counseling graduate programs, the contextual factors that shape the way education is offered, recruitment, admissions, and student support practices, the instructional framework and its components and teaching techniques, as well as intentional efforts to integrate these, the evaluative procedures for student learning, and processes of ongoing program evolution. The third section covers the continuous and increasingly self-directed learning that genetic counselors employ throughout their careers to sustain and expand their competence. The book concludes by co

Governing After War explores how wartime processes affects post-war state-building efforts when rebels win a civil war and come into power. Post-war governance is a continuation of war--although violence has ceased, the victor must consolidate its control over the state through a process of internal conquest. This means carefully making choices about resource allocation towards development and security. Where does the victor choose to spend, and why? And what are the implications for ultimately consolidating power and preventing conflict recurrence? The book examines wartime rebel-civilian ties under rebel governance and explains how these ties--along with rebel governing institutions--shape the rebel victors' post-war various resource allocation strategies to establish control at the sub-national level. In turn, successfully balancing resources dedicated toward development and security helps the victor to consolidate power. The book relies on mixed-methods evidence from Zimbabwe and L

This limited printing, hardcover 40th anniversary edition includes: -an exclusive new interview with lead singer Simon Le Bon -a Rio timeline-a newly designed book cover by Rio album sleeve designer, Malcolm Garrette-vintage Duran Duran photos and ads -and much more... In the '80s, the Birmingham, England, band Duran Duran became closely associated with new wave, an idiosyncratic genre that dominated the decade's music and culture. No album represented this rip-it-up-and-start-again movement better than the act's breakthrough 1982 LP, Rio . A cohesive album with a retro-futuristic sound―influences include danceable disco, tangy funk, swaggering glam, and Roxy Music's art-rock―the full-length sold millions and spawned smashes such as "Hungry Like the Wolf" and the title track. However, Rio wasn't a success everywhere at first; in fact, the LP had to be buffed-up with remixes and reissued before it found an audience in America. The album was further buoyed by colorful music vid

Conjugate Addition Reactions in Organic Synthesis, Second Edition, Volume Nine provides an introduction to the chemistry of conjugate reactions, a group of reactions that constitute one of the most important classes of chemical reactions in organic synthesis. The book is organized according to class of acceptor rather than the class of nucleophile, which makes for easier synthetic problem-solving. All aspects of conjugate addition reactions are covered, including theory, mechanism, catalysis and total synthesis. Asymmetric processes are heavily featured, and there is emphasis on catalysis, given its importance in all aspects of organic synthesis today. Extensive examples in total synthesis illustrate how particular synthetic challenges are addressed and resolved with conjugate addition chemistry. This new edition features new coverage of acceptors and nucleophiles, as well as organocatalysis, gold catalysis, peptide catalysis, arene additions, and emerging areas such as biocatalytic
