Sommario/riassunto

This book is an examination of some of the principal issues arising from the study of the kings’ sagas, the main narrative sources for Norwegian history before c. 1200. Providing an overview of the past two decades of scholarship, it discusses the vexed relationship between verse and prose and the reliability as historical sources of the verse alone or the combination of verse and prose; the possibility and extent of non-native influence on the composition of these texts; and the function of the past, in particular given that most of the historiography



of Norway was produced in Iceland. This book aims to stimulate studies of medieval Scandinavian historiography with its critical perspective on the texts and the scholarship, while also providing a useful work of reference in order to make this area of research accessible to scholars in cognate fields.

Sommario/riassunto

Atoms and molecules in all states of matter are subject to continuous irregular movement. This process, referred to as diffusion, is among the most general and basic phenomena in nature and determines the performance of many technological processes. This book provides an introduction to the fascinating world of diffusion in microporous solids. Jointly written by three well-known researchers in this field, it presents a coherent treatise, rather than a compilation of separate review articles, covering the theoretical fundamentals, molecular modeling, experimental observation and techni

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents the proceedings of CIRATM-9. The papers present the latest scientific concepts and technological developments in textile and materials of worldwide researchers and practitioners. The conference promotes sharing ideas and emerging technologies and fosters research and development collaborations amongst academia, research institutions and relevant industries. CIRATM is the first international conference applied on textiles in Tunisia and all Maghreb. It is a regular conference organized every two year since 2004. It focuses on all textile and materials fields. It joints together all actors of textile field and share research with many international collaborators. This edition is organized with the collaboration of 4 Tunisian partners and 6 international associates and institutions · Laboratory of Textile Engineering (LGTex, Tunisia), · Monastir university (Tunisia) · Tunisian



Association of Textile Researchers (ATCTex, Tunisia) · Le pôle de compétitivité Monastir-El Fejja (mfcpole, Tunisia) · Association of the universities for textiles (AUTEX, International) · Balkan Society of textile engineering (BASTE) · National research & development institute for textile and leather (INCDTP, Bucharest- Romania) · Yazid University (Iran) · Centre d'Essais Textile (Cetelor, Lorraine - France) · Center of Textile Science and Technology (2C2T – University of Minho, Portugal).
