Sommario/riassunto

"This practical guide provides an introduction for understanding the compositional complexity of superalloys superalloy and the wide range of alloys developed for specific applications. The basics of alloying, strengthening mechanisms, and structure of superalloys are explained in optimizing particular mechanical properties, oxidation/corrosion resistance, and manufacturing characteristics such as castability, forgeability, and weldability."--Publisher's description.

Sommario/riassunto

Authored by leading experts, this book explores the key milestones in the 100-year history of the electroencephalogram (EEG). It provides a detailed account of its origins, global development, clinical applications, and lasting impact on neuroscience. By tracing its evolution, the book underscores the EEG’s enduring relevance. What distinguishes this volume is its dynamic and forward-looking approach. Rather than a traditional historical account, it presents the story of the EEG as an evolving narrative—connecting past discoveries with future possibilities. With advancements in digital technology, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, the EEG remains central to neuroscientific research and a critical diagnostic tool in various medical fields. This book offers valuable insights into the EEG’s contributions to modern neuroscience and its continued influence. It is intended for neurologists, neuroscientists, neuropsychologists, neurophysiologists, EEG technicians, and medical historians, as well as anyone interested in the development of neuroscience and brain research.

Sommario/riassunto

Identity Research in Intercultural Communication, edited by Nilanjana Bardhan and Mark P. Orbe, is unique in scope because it brings together a vast range of positions on identity scholarship within intercultural communication under one umbrella. It tracks the state of identity research in the field and includes cutting-edge theoretical essays, and queries what kinds of theoretical, methodological, praxiological, and pedagogical boundaries researchers should be pushing in the future. This volume is an essential text for scholars, educ
