 English | 2022 | ISBN: 103210144X | 387 pages | True PDF EPUB | 40.98 MB Our civilization owes its most significant milestones to our use of materials. Metals gave us better agriculture and eventually the industrial revolution, silicon gave us the digital revolution, and we're just beginning to see what nanomaterials yield. Updated to reflect the many societal and technological changes in the field since publication of the first edition,Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering, Second Edition,offers an interdisciplinary view that emphasizes the importance of materials to engineering applications and builds the basis needed to select, modify, and create materials to meet specific criteria. The most outstanding feature of this book is the authors' unique and engaging application-oriented approach. By beginning each chapter with a real-life example, an experiment, or interesting facts, the authors wield an expertly crafted treatment that entertains and motivates as much as informs and educates. The discipline is linked to modern developments, such as semiconductor devices, nanomaterials, and thin films, while working systematically from atomic bonding and analytical methods to crystalline, electronic, mechanical, and magnetic properties as well as ceramics, polymers, corrosion, and phase diagrams.

A new communication model, namely backscatter communication (BackCom), intelligent reflector surface (IRS) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology in Internet of Everything (IoE), is described in detail. Also focusing on millimeter wave, the book discusses the potential application of terahertz 6G network spectrum in the Internet of Things (IoT). Finally, the applications of IoE network in big data, artificial intelligence (AI) technology and fog/edge computing technology are proposed. Systematically introduces the technical standards and market analysis of 5G's three application scenarios, as well as the problems and challenges facedProvides readers with the knowledge of spectrum energy efficiency and cost-effective IoE network solutionsIntroduces the application of physical layer related technologies to the IoT, such as BackCom, IRS and UAV relay in IoE, and millimeter wave technologyDiscusses the potential application of terahertz 6G network spectrum in the IoT  English | 2021 | ISBN: 1350051438 | 226 pages | True PDF | 893.94 MB **Shortlisted for the 2021 British Book Design and Production Awards for the Best Jacket / Cover Design** For years illustration has lacked a strong critical history in which to frame it, with academics and media alike assessing it as part of design rather than a discipline in its own right.Illustration Research Methodsaddresses this void and adds to a fast-emerging discipline, establishing a lexicon that is specific to discussing contemporary illustration practice and research.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 0077861957 | 637 pages | True PDF | 95.71 MB With a thought-provoking appraisal of the human sexual experience, Human Sexuality: Self, Society, and Culture supports thinking critically about the contexts that shape sexuality and further highlights the role of sexuality in society and culture.

Or zoom around the globe with Google Maps and wonder how everything got to where it is now? The answer is...geography.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 126077239X | 1009 pages | True PDF | 43.4 MB Fundamentals of Corporate Finance was designed and developed for a first course in business or corporate finance, for both finance majors and non-majors alike. The text is nearly self-contained in terms of background or prerequisites, assuming some familiarity with basic algebra and accounting concepts, while still reviewing important accounting principles very early on. The organization of this text has been developed to give instructors the flexibility they need. The best-selling text has three basic themes that are the central focus of the book: 1) An emphasis on intuition: the authors separate and explain the principles at work on a common sense, intuitive level before launching into any specifics. 2) A unified valuation approach: net present value (NPV) is treated as the basic concept underlying corporate finance. 3) A managerial focus: the authors emphasize the role of the financial manager as a decision maker, and they stress the need for managerial input and judgment.
