Stokes D. Fennell Evans Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering defines the newly emerging, cross-disciplinary field of interfacial engineering. It gives students a coherent, integrated approach to the field, while offering engineering instructors an excellent starting point for curriculum development. The text emphasizes the fundamental concepts underlying interfacial phenomena and how these concepts are reduced to practice in processing and manufacturing settings. Unique in its broad scope, the book establishes connections between interfacial phenomena in all materials systems, and draws attention to the similarities and distinguishing differences between liquids, polymers, and crystalline solids. The first section outlines the fundamental intermolecular interactions that occur in all interfacial systems from individual molecules to molecular assemblies, and extends to introduce the nature of forces across the interface between particles. The second section describes the properties, processing, and behavior of fluid interfacial systems, and the final section treats solid surfaces and interfaces. Each chapter features explicit examples that illustrate applications to different processes and product situations. Fundamentals of Interfacial Engineering is a useful introductory overview for senior-level undergraduate and first-year graduate students in chemical engineering, materials science, polymer science, and electronics engineering, as well as for industrial and government researchers seeking knowledge of interfacial phenomena across disciplinary lines.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51181059408145,"sku":"NIN9780471186472","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51323361591569,"sku":"CIN0471186473G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52125082222865,"sku":"NLS9780471186472","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":52729408323857,"sku":"CIN0471186473A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0471186473.jpg?v=1767356846"},{"product_id":"communities-and-households-in-the-greater-american-southwest-book-robert-j-stokes-9781607328841","title":"Communities and Households in the Greater American Southwest","description":"Communities and Households in the Greater American Southwest presents new research on human organization in the American Southwest, examining families, households, and communities in the Ancestral Puebloan, Mogollon, and Hohokam major cultural areas, as well as the Fremont, Jornada Mogollon, and Lipan Apache areas, from the time of earliest habitation to the twenty-first century. Using historical data, dialectic approaches, problem-oriented and data-driven analysis, and ethnographic and gender studies methodologies, the contributors offer diverse interpretations of what constitutes a site, village, and community; how families and households organized their domestic space; and how this organization has influenced researchers’ interpretations of spatially derived archaeological data.     Today’s archaeologists and anthropologists understand that communities operate as a multi-level, -organizational, -contextual, and -referential human creation, which informs their understanding of how people actively negotiate their way through and around community constraints. The chapters in this book creatively examine these interactions, revealing the dynamic nature of ancient and modern groups in the American Southwest. The book has two broad complementary themes: one focusing on household decision-making, identity, and structural relations with the greater community; the other concerned with community organization and integration, household roles within the community, and changes in community organization—violence and destabilization, coalescence and cooperation—over time.    Communities and Households in the Greater American Southwest weaves a rich tapestry of ancient and modern life through innovative approaches that will be of interest not only to Southwestern archaeologists but to all researchers and students interested in social organization at the household and community levels.

It provides an overview of programs of various sizes, affecting diverse communities from urban to rural environments, larger and smaller populations, with a range of site-specific problems. The research is based on a United States federally-funded program called the Byrne Criminal Justice Initiative (BJCI) which began in 2012, and has funded programs in 65 communities, across 28 states and 61 cities. \u003c\/p\u003e  This book serves to document the process, challenges, and lessons learned from the design and implementation of this innovative program. It covers researcher-practitioner partnerships, crime prevention planning processes, programming implementation, and issues related to sustainability of community-policing initiatives that transcend institutional barriers and leadership turnover. Through researcher partnerships at each site, it provides a rich dataset for understanding and comparing the social and economic problems that contribute to criminality, as well as the conditions where prosocial behavior and collective efficacy thrive. It also examines the future of this federally-funded program going forward in a new Presidential administration.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis work will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, particularly with an interest in translational\/applied criminology and crime prevention, as well as related fields such as public policy, urban planning, and sociology.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52535947460881,"sku":"NLS9783030436377","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783030436377.jpg?v=1760672658"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-robert-j-stokes.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
