Today, firms from the US and other countries compete on a global scale for projects in the developed markets of Southeast Asia, Latin America and China. There are several key factors that have allowed for these increased market opportunities, namely the rise in communication technology and digital design technology (BIM), more competitive foreign markets, and the need to address and combat global issues such as climate change. The Architect's Guide to Developing and Managing an International Practice is a practical guide for architects considering or are already engaged in international work, that offers guidance on the full-spectrum of international practice; from recruiting and licensing to strategic planning and expansion. This guide offers exclusive insights and case studies from experienced architects working around the world. Written by Bradford Perkins, Co-founder and Chairman of the 1,000-person global architecture firm Perkins Eastman, this guide to international practice offers architects the fundamentals and best practices needed to expand their work on a global scale"--Provided by publisher.Architectural practice, InternationalArchitectural practice, International.724.7520.9njb/09525.1njb/09720.68njb/09Perkins L.

This book highlights some applications of the sol-gel technology, including protective coatings, catalysts, piezoelectric devices, wave guides, lenses, high-strength ceramics, superconductors, synthesis of nanoparticles, and insulating materials. In particular, for biotechnological applications, biomolecules or the incorporation of bioactive substances into the sol-gel matrix has been extensively studied and has been a challenge for many researchers. Some sol-gel materials are widely applied in light-emitting diodes, solar cells, sensing, catalysis, integration in photovoltaic devices, and more recently in biosensing, bioimaging, or medical diagnosis; others can be considered excellent drug delivery systems. The goal of an ideal drug delivery system is the prompt delivery of a therapeutic amount of the drug to the proper site in the body, where the desired drug concentration can be maintained. The interactions between drugs and the sol-gel system can affect the release rate. In conclusion, the sol-gel synthesis method offers mixing at the molecular level and is able to improve the chemical homogeneity of the resulting composite. This opens new doors not only regarding compositions of previously unattainable materials, but also to unique structures with different applications.Chemistrybicsscsilsesquioxanesthiol-ene click reactionconformal coatingmulti-layeroxyfluoride glass-ceramicsnanocrystallithium lanthanum titanium oxidesurface plasmon resonancechlorogenic acidthin-disk laserbiomedical applicationsbiomaterialspotential step voltammetrymechanical analysismetal oxidesbiocompatibilitytungsten oxideLi-ion batteriessol-gel techniqueoptical propertiesbioactivityLiMnxFe(1?x)PO4computer-aided design (CAD)hybrid materialsresistive random access memory (RRAM)poly(?-caprolactone)Yb-doped glasseselectrochemical impedance spectroscopyorganic–inorganic hybrid materialscarbon coatingultrasonic spray deposition1D structurehydrophobic coatingssol-gelorganic-inorganic hybridscompositespaperwettabilitypseudo-diffusion coefficientlithium-ion batterycytotoxicityX-ray diffraction analysisTG-FTIRFourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysisphotoluminescencecell proliferationcell cyclealuminosilicate glassesfinite element analysis (FEA)optical sensorshollow sphereTG-DSCNMRcotton fabricorganic thin-film transistor (OTFT)one transistor and one resistor (1T1R)sol–gel methodSiO2–based hybridssol-gel methodin situ water productionChemistryCatauro Michelina1284080ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367753103321Sol-Gel Chemistry Applied to Materials Science3019274UNINA
