    Animal Cell Technology: Developments, Processes and Products is a compilation of scientific papers presented at the 11th European Society for Animal Cell Technology (ESACT) Meeting, held in Brighton, United Kingdom. The book is a collection of various works of scientists, engineers, and other specialists from Europe and other parts of the world who are working with animal cells. The book’s aim is to communicate experiences and research findings on the development of cell systems. The research papers are grouped into 25 sections encompassing 145 chapters. Subjects covered range from cells and physiology engineering dealing with cell characterization, cell culture establishment, cloning, and cell engineering. Topics on culture media, ammonium detoxification, the effects of physical parameters on cell cultures, assays and monitoring systems, and bioreactor techniques are also covered. Discussions are likewise made on the products from animal cells in culture, virus removal, and DNA determination and characterization in relation to safety issues. The book will be useful for cell biologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, biochemical engineers, and students engaged in the study of animal cell cultures.

  • Advances in Composite Materials

    Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Composite Materials, Held in Paris, 26-29 August 1980
    • 1st Edition
    • A. R. Bunsell
    • English
    Advances in Composite Materials is a collection of papers that discusses fiber reinforced composite materials pertaining to their mechanical and failure properties. One paper explains the design and fabrication of a GrFRP concept car by the Ford Motor Company which uses as much as possible graphite fiber in the body, chassis, and powertrain. Another paper discusses the sorption behavior of glass-fiber reinforced composites, as well as the influence of diffusing media on the deformation and failure behaviors. One paper examines the physical, elastic, viscoelastic, and inelastic properties of multiphase short fiber composite materials using the fiber aspect ratio, fiber volume fraction, and properties of the constituent phases as several variables. Another paper describes a procedure to measure the changes in stiffness properties of a unidirectional fibrous composite (such as glass fiber reinforced polyester) caused by fatigue damage. One application of carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics is in a sleeve bush molded from nylon 66 containing 30 percent fiber reinforcement with PTFE and silicone oil. The material has low frictional, high wear performance characteristics. The Penny and Giles Potentiometers Ltd. use this component on a joystick for gun directional control. The collection can prove useful for design engineers, materials engineers, scientists involved with composite materials, and industrial researchers in the fields of materials science.

  • Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components

    Singapore, 4 - 6 November 1987

    Proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components, Volume I contains the proceedings of the Fourth International Conference on Durability of Building Materials and Components held in Singapore on November 4-6, 1987. The conference provided a forum for reviewing advances that have been made with regards to the durability of building materials and components and tackled topics ranging from concrete materials and structures to fiber-reinforced concrete, plastics, surface coatings, and building codes and specifications. Comprised of 67 chapters, this volume first summarizes the technical barriers to service life prediction and outlines research directions for overcoming such barriers. The discussion then turns to the deterioration of slate tiles containing iron sulfides; prediction of durability of building sealants; and the durability of building ceramics in agricultural environments. Subsequent chapters focus on the influence of seawater curing on the pore structure of flyash blended cement mortar; effect of cement composition on the durability of natural fibers in mortar; permeability control of concrete protective layers in products; and theory and experimental evidence concerning maximum and minimum strength of composite materials. The applications of surface integral techniques to fracture analysis are also considered. This book will be of interest to practitioners and research workers in engineering.

  • Fusion Technology 1986

    • English
    Fusion Technology 1986, Volume 1 contains the proceedings of the 14th Symposium on Fusion Technology held in Avignon, France, on September 8-12, 1986. The symposium provided a forum for assessing the state of the art in nuclear fusion as a source of energy. Topics covered range from first wall, divertor, limiter, and vacuum technology to power supplies, neutral beam heating systems, and blanket technology. Tritium handling and magnet technology are also discussed, along with reactor studies and remote handling. Comprised of 118 chapters, this volume first provides an overview of the European Fusion Technology Program and its evolution towards NET (Next European Torus), followed by a discussion on the status of Tokamak physics. The reader is methodically introduced to fusion technology in the U.S. Magnetic Fusion Program; technical aspects of heating and current drive by lower hybrid waves on Tokamaks; and digitized high-power modulation. Subsequent chapters focus on tritium production and processing in a Tokamak reactor; the environmental impact of future fusion reactors; plasma exhaust purification; and operation of magnet power supplies. This book will be of interest to practitioners and research workers engaged in fusion technology.

  • Friction Wear Lubrication

    Tribology Handbook
    • 1st Edition
    • I V Kragelsky
    • English
    Friction, Wear, Lubrication, Volume 1 is a handbook of tribology that deals with friction, wear, and lubrication. Topics covered include contact of solids; coefficients of external friction and preliminary displacement; wear rate; and calculation of tribological joints for wear. The choice of materials for rubbing parts is also considered, along with metals for rubbing components and metallic anti-friction materials. Comprised of 10 chapters, this volume begins by focusing on the calculation of the characteristics of a contact with the use of statistical methods that make it possible to describe the deformation of a certain averaged surface peak and account for the laws of distribution of surface peaks and waves. The reader is then introduced to calculations of the coefficients of external friction and preliminary displacement, wear rate, and tribological joints for wear. Subsequent chapters deal with the choice of materials for rubbing parts; metals for rubbing components; metallic anti-friction materials; manufacturing methods for improving the wear resistance of materials and tribological joints; and lubricants and additives. The book concludes with an analysis of the thermal stability of boundary lubrication films and solid lubricant films. This monograph will be of interest to engineers, metallurgists, tribologists, and materials scientists.

    The Engineers' Metric Data Manual and Buyers' Guide is a manual and guide for the British engineering industry in the period of transition from Imperial to metric sizes. This material begins with the abbreviated history and use of the S.I. system. A guide on using the manual and a suggested component coding system for adoption by companies for internal metric use are also explained. This book also presents design data and conversion tables, as well as data sheet for specific parts of the whole engineering design, including fasteners, bearings, bushes, machine tools, fluid sealing, and coupling systems. This book will be valuable to engineers in such transition and will help prevent a serious and avoidable waste of skilled engineering effort.
