Sommario/riassunto

The ecomuseum phenomenon has grown dramatically in recent years.  There is now no one ecomuseum model, but rather a philosophy that has been adapted and moulded for use in a variety of situations. With many more ecomuseums being established, the international appeal and reach of the idea grows; these changes are reflected in the 'geographical' sections of this volume.  Of particular significance is the rise in ecomuseology in India, China (including Taiwan), Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, as well as significant increases in Italy, Poland, the Czech Republic and Turkey.

Sommario/riassunto

This book examines how the British people came to terms with the massive trauma of the First World War. Although the literary memory of the war has often been discussed, little has been written on the public ceremonies on and around 11 November which dominated the public memory of the war in the inter-war years. This book aims to remedy the deficiency by showing the pre-eminence of Armistice Day, both in reflecting what people felt about the war and in shaping their memories of it. It shows that this memory was complex rather than simple and that it was continually contested. Finally it seeks

Introduction -- Historical Background and Basic Operation Principle of Electrochemical Supercapacitors -- Basic Ferrites Structures and Properties -- Experimental Techniques Used in Electrochemical Supercapacitor -- Bismuth-Ferrites-Based Electrochemical Supercapacitor -- Unitary Ferrites -- Binary Ferrites -- Ternary Ferrites -- Mixed Ferrites -- Limitation and Perspectives.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a much-needed, up-to-date overview of unary, binary and ternary bismuth-ferrite-based systems, with a focus on their properties, synthesis methods and applications as electrochemical supercapacitors. It introduces readers to the basic structure and properties of ferrites in general, focusing on the selection criteria for ferrite materials for electrochemical energy storage applications. Along with coverage of ferrite synthesis methods, it discusses bismuth-ferrite structures in unary, binary and mixed ferrite nanostructure systems, as



well as future perspectives and limitations for using ferrites as electrochemical supercapacitors. A valuable resource for beginners and advanced researchers working on similar topics, this book enables them to understand the core materials and electrochemical concepts behind bismuth-ferrite-based systems as energy storage materials.
