There has been concerted effort across scientific disciplines to develop artificial materials and systems that can help researchers understand natural stimuli-responsive activities. With its up-to-date coverage on intelligent stimuli-responsive materials, Intelligent Stimuli-Responsive Materials provides research, industry, and academia professionals with the fundamentals and principles of intelligent stimuli-responsive materials, with a focus on methods and applications. Emphasizing nanostructures and applications for a broad range of fields, each chapter comprehensively covers a different stimuli-responsive material and discusses its developments, advances, challenges, analytical techniques, and applications.
Inspired College Teaching. A Career-Long Resource for Professional Growth
Praise for Inspired College Teaching «The thoughtfulness, personalization, and consideration Maryellen Weimer demonstrates in discussing the experience of faculty members; her ability to identify issues that are shared and solvable; and her suggestions and solutions to commonly experienced stressors and difficulties in college teaching are major strengths of this volume. In addition, her personal and professional reflections on her long career as a faculty member, writer, and faculty developer expose tantalizing research questions that young education researchers might want to examine. The originality of this volume is its exploration of and reflection on a faculty member's career from a long-term perspective. The focus on iterative self and course renewal is personal and thus practical. In a way, it is a 'workshop between book covers' or perhaps several workshops!» – Laura L. B. Border, director, Graduate Teacher Program and Collaborative Preparing Future Faculty Network, University of Colorado at Boulder «A book by Maryellen Weimer always displays her wonderful grasp of the literature on college teaching and learning, her ability to tell good stories, and her wit and wisdom. This one is no exception.» —Nancy Van Note Chism, professor, Indiana University School of Education, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis «Although I work at a faculty teaching center and encounter many books on teaching, I have seen very few that span the full arc of the teaching career and what steps can be taken at each stage in order to retain vitality all the way through the way that this book does. I look forward to getting my own copy and using it as a resource in the faculty development activities of my center. It will have a wide readership.» —Mano Singham, University Center for Innovation in Teaching and Education, Case Western Reserve University
Lava, Magma, Sternenstaub. Chemie im Inneren von Erde, Mond und Sonne
Mehr als 9000 Meter tief im Erdinneren Genau 9101 Meter schaffte der Tiefbohrer in Windischeschenbach, dann versagte er aufgrund der gro?en Hitze von mehr als 300 Grad. Welche Schichten im Erdinneren stecken und wie diese beschaffen sind, das analysiert Georg Schwedt hier hochst anschaulich. Er reist entlang der «Deutschen Vulkanstra?e», und ganz nebenbei erfahren die Leser zum Beispiel, dass sie sich bei einer Hornhautbehandlung mit Bims die Fu?e mit dem Vulkangestein Magma schrubben. Unendliche Weiten oder die Chemie der Planeten Wie setzt sich der Schweif eines Kometen zusammen oder welche chemischen Bestandteile finden sich auf Sonne und Mond? Die Chemie der Planeten ist zwar schwer zu erforschen, aber dafur spannend und faszinierend – ranken sich doch um Venus, Saturn oder Mars Mythen aus alter Zeit und verbanden doch schon die Babylonier die Venus, den hellsten Wandelstern, mit den Gottinnen. Aristoteles und Galileo Galilei: Wie alles anfing Dieses Buch bietet die neusten Erkenntnisse uber Erde und Universum, gleichzeitig aber auch einen sehr unterhaltsamen Ruckblick auf die Anfange der Wissenschaftsgeschichte. Von Aristoteles, der um 334 v. Chr. eine Theorie uber die Kugelgestalt der Erde entwickelte, bis zu Galileo Galilei, der 1616 wegen seines Eintretens fur das heliozentrische Weltbild von der Inquisition angeklagt wurde, entsteht hier ein buntes, spannendes Bild, das gro?e Lust auf Wissenschaft macht.
Cytogenetic Abnormalities. Chromosomal, FISH, and Microarray-Based Clinical Reporting and Interpretation of Result
This guide discusses chromosomal abnormalities and how best to report and communicate lab findings in research and clinical settings. Providing a standard approach to writing cytogenetic laboratory reports, the guide further covers useful guidance on implementing International System for Human Cytogenetic Nomenclature in reports. Part one of the guide explores chromosomal, FISH, and microarray analysis in constitutional cytogenetic analyses, while part two looks at acquired abnormalities in cancers. Both sections provide illustrative examples of chromosomal abnormalities and how to communicate these findings in standardized laboratory reports.
Promoting the Planck Club. How Defiant Youth, Irreverent Researchers and Liberated Universities Can Foster Prosperity Indefinitely
Promoting the Planck Club presents rich mini histories of selected scientists whose work led to radical and transformational discoveries, their background, the prevailing scientific environment, and the conditions that allowed for their success. The text provides a broad audience of students, scientists, engineers, economists, and policymakers with ways to ensure that we take all steps to protect the flow of unpredictable scientific discoveries that are necessary for sustained levels of growth as well as ways to ensure that all steps are taken to protect the flow of unpredictable scientific discoveries.
Makromolekulare Chemie. Eine Einführung
Die Makromolekulare Chemie (Polymerchemie) beschaftigt sich mit der Synthese, Isolierung, Charakterisierung und Modifizierung von gro?en Molekulen (Polymere). Diese Molekule konnen aus bis zu Hunderttausenden gleicher oder unterschiedlicher Bausteine (Monomere) bestehen und sind meistens als Ketten oder Netzwerke angeordnet. Neben den Biopolymeren (z.B. Zellulose, Enzyme, DNS) sind vor allem die synthetischen Polymere Polyethylen, Polypropylen, PVC, Polystyrol (Styropor), Nylon oder Teflon von gro?em Interesse. Die dritte Auflage der «Makromolekularen Chemie» wurde komplett uberarbeitet und aktualisiert, wobei das bewahrte Konzept, die Synthese, Charakterisierung, Eigenschaften und Reaktionen von Polymeren klar und anschaulich darzustellen, beibehalten wurde. Es gibt neue Kapitel zu aktuellen Trends in der Polymerchemie, z.B. Polymerblends, Polymere durch palladiumkatalysierte Kreuzkupplung, enzymatische Polymerisation, Polymere fur die Optoelektronik, ferroelektrische Polymere und MALDI-TOF-Massenspektrometrie zur Charakterisierung von Polymeren. Au?erdem wurde jedes Kapitel um eine kurze Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Inhalte erweitert. Das Buch ist unentbehrlich fur Studenten der Chemie und Materialwissenschaften im Bachelor- und Masterstudiengang, die die entsprechende Vorlesung nachbereiten bzw. sich auf die Prufung vorbereiten wollen, aber auch fur (Polymer-)Chemiker, die sich schnell und erfolgreich in das Gebiet einarbeiten wollen.

Waschmittel. Chemie, Umwelt, Nachhaltigkeit
Environmental awareness in Germany is closely linked to washing powder. The mountains of foam in many rivers during the hot summer of 1958 showed how Western lifestyles were incompatible with the environment: the surfactants in washing powder were biologically upgradeable or, at best, hardly degradable. This played a large role in creating environmental consciousness and in strengthening research into washing powders. Here the author disseminates the chemical, biological and physical knowledge behind modern washing processes to all interested parties; schools, students, and lab workers; to all who need, use and – above all – pass on this knowledge: teachers, trainers, lecturers, consultants, professional associations, consumer agencies, societies, government agencies and other private or state-run institutions will appreciate this detailed, yet readily comprehensible source.
