Free Download The Influence of Environment on Mechanical Characteristics of Key Semiconductor Components
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031345290 | 327 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 108 MB
This book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of environmental constituents on the mechanical properties of semiconductors. Chapter 1 sets the stage by outlining the various environmental constituents that can have deleterious effects on both the mechanical properties of materials and the health of those who handle them. This includes gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, air, and moisture in the air, some of which are responsible for greenhouse gas emissions that directly affect the climate. Chapters 2 through 12 delve into specific aspects of mechanical behavior, including elastic properties, plastic deformation, defects, hardness, brittle behavior, impact testing, deformation processes, and time-dependent deformation. The book also examines how the behavior of semiconductors differs at the nano scale and provides insights into improving their mechanical properties.

During 1988, the National Research Council's Space Science Board reorganized itself to more effectively address NASA's advisory needs. The Board's scope was broadened: it was renamed the Space Studies Board and, among other new initiatives, the Committee on Human Exploration was created. The new committee was intended to focus on the scientific aspects of human exploration programs, rather than engineering issues. Their research led to three reports: Scientific Prerequisites for the Human Exploration of Space published in 1993, Scientific Opportunities in the Human Exploration of Space published in 1994, and Science Management in the Human Exploration of Space published in 1997. These three reports are collected and reprinted in this volume in their entirety as originally published.

Free Download Traci B. Abbott, "The History of Trans Representation in American Television and Film Genres"
English | ISBN: 3030977927 | 2022 | 305 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Due to the increase in transgender characters in scripted television and film in the 2010s, trans visibility has been presented as a relatively new phenomenon that has positively shifted the cis society's acceptance of the trans community. This book counters this claim to assert that such representations actually present limited and harmful characterizations, as they have for decades. To do so, this book analyzes transgender narratives in scripted visual media from the 1960s to 2010s across a variety of genres, including independent and mainstream films and television dramatic series and sitcoms, judging not the veracity of such representations per se but dissecting their transphobia as a constant despite relevant shifts that have improved their veracity and variety. Already ingrained with their own ideological expectations, genres shift the framing of the trans character, particularly the relevance of their gender difference for cisgender characters and society. The popularity of trans characters within certain genres also provides a historical lineage that is examined against the progression of transgender rights activism and corresponding transphobic falsehoods, concluding that this popular medium continues to offer a limited and narrow conception of gender, the variability of the transgender experience, and the range of transgender identities.
