RamsdenThird edition.Oxford, England ;Cambridge, Massachusetts :William Andrew,2018.©20181 online resource (314 pages) illustrationsMicro & Nano Technologies SeriesIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Applied Nanotechnology: The Conversion of Research Results to Products, Third Edition, takes an integrated approach to the scientific, commercial and social aspects of nanotechnology, exploring the relationship between nanotechnology and innovation, the changing economics and business models required to commercialize innovations in nanotechnology, and product design challenges that are investigated through case studies. Applications in various sectors, including composite materials, energy and agriculture are included, as is a section on the role of the government in promoting nanotechnology. In addition, the potential future of molecular self-assembly in industrial production is discussed, along with the ethics and social implications of nanotechnology. This new edition begins a concise introduction to nanotechnology, carefully explaining the relationships between science, technology, wealth and innovation. Next, it focuses on actual products and processes, including the big three areas of application, health, IT and energy. Different types of nanobusiness (upstream, downstream, ancillary etc.), are also carefully delineated, and aspects such as design and realization (e.g., actual fabrication) are also covered, amongst other timely topics. This book offers a vision of the role of nanotechnology in confronting the challenges facing humanity, from healthcare to climate change. Written by an author who has direct, hands-on experience working in a large nanotechnology-based company, in academia as a professor and chair of nanotechnology, and as the co-owner and director of a nanotechnology-based start-up Presents comprehensive coverage in an integrated fashion, not wasting space on trivial details that, if not already known to the reader, can be readily found in generic sources Thoroughly revised, reflecting advances in the field Includes areas that have been expanded into nanotechnology, such as health, and the safety of nano products and processesMicro & nano technologies.NanotechnologyNanostructured materials industryNanotechnology.Nanostructured materials industry.620.5Ramsden Jeremy J.897340MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910583387303321Applied nanotechnology2280135UNINA03358nam 2200637 450 991014953590332120200520144314.01-351-53103-41-4128-6447-X(CKB)3710000000934010(MiAaPQ)EBC4785137(Au-PeEL)EBL4785137(CaPaEBR)ebr11329482(OCoLC)960906127(BIP)055803198(EXLCZ)99371000000093401020170124h20162016 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBook matters the changing nature of literacy /Alan SicaNew Brunswick, New Jersey ;London, England :Transaction Publishers,2016.20161 online resource (283 pages)1-4128-6502-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Scholars have been puzzling over the "future of the book" since Marshall McLuhan's famous maxim "the medium is the message" in the early 1950s. McLuhan famously argued that electronic media was creating a global village in which books would become obsolete. Such views were ahead of their time, but today they are all too relevant as declining sales, even among classic texts, have become a serious matter in academic publishing. Does anyone still read long and complex works, either from the past or the present? Is the role of a professional reader and reviewer of manuscripts still relevant? Book Matters closely analyses these questions and others. Alan Sica surmises that the concentration span required for studying and discussing complex texts has slipped away, as undergraduate classes are becoming inundated by shorter, easier-to-teach scholarly and literary works. He considers such matters in part from the point of view of a former editor of scholarly journals. In an engaging style, he gives readers succinct analyses of books and ideas that once held the interest of millions of discerning readers, such as Simone de Beavoir's Second Sex and the works of David Graham Phillips and C. Wright Mills, among others. Book Matters is not a nostalgic cry for lost ideas, but instead a stark reminder of just how aware and analytically illuminating certain scholars were prior to the Internet, and how endangered the book is in this era of pixelated communication.Books and readingHistoryIntellectual lifeHistoryLearning and scholarshipHistoryScholarly publishingHistoryCriticismHistorySocial sciencesHistoryBooks And ReadingIntellectual LifeLearning And ScholarshipLiterary CriticismHistoryEducationBooks and readingHistory.Intellectual lifeHistory.Learning and scholarshipHistory.Scholarly publishingHistory.CriticismHistory.Social sciencesHistory.028Sica Alan1949-129150MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910149535903321Book matters3420840UNINA
