Fluidized beds have gained prominence in many process in- dustries (including chemicals, petroleum, metallurgy, food and pharmaceuticals) as a means of bringing particulate solids into contact with gases and/or liquids.
The Fourth Conference on Fibrous Composites in Structural Design was a successor to the First-to-Third Conferences on Fibrous Composites in Flight Vehicle Design sponsored by the Air Force (First and Second Conferences, September 1973 and May 1974) and by NASA (Third Conference, November 1975) which were aimed at focusing national attention on flight vehicle applications of a new class of fiber reinforced materials, the advanced com- posites, which afforded weight savings and other advantages which had not been previously available.
The proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Sin- tering and Related Phenomena, contained in this volume, have been broadened in scope to include the phenomena of sintering and coa- lescence of catalytic materials dispersed upon refractory oxides.
Considering the enormous progress achieved in some special areas of superconductivity during the last few years, it seemed worthwhile to discuss thoroughly a subject, which has encountered severe pro- blems on the theoretical and the experimental side, namely the effects of the anisotropic electron and phonon properties of (single crystalline) materials on the characteristic features of the super- conducting state.
The aim of this book is to impart a sound understanding, both physical and mathematical, of the fundamentals of the theory of vibration and its applications.
In the course of 30 years as a practicing crystallographer I have frequently been faced with the necessity of finding out a little bit about some general branch of mathematics with which I was previously unfamiliar.
Origin, Scope, and Plan of this Book In July 1962 the fiftieth anniversary of Max von Laue's discovery of the Diffraction of X-rays by crystals is going to be celebrated in Munich by a large international group of crystallographers, physi- cists, chemists, spectroscopists, biologists, industrialists, and many others who are employing the methods based on Laue's discovery for their own research.
During the years 1987 and 1988 we published a series of articles on the molding of thermoplastics materials in the magazine British Plastics and Rubber (B P & R).
The continuous and ever expanding development of high-temperature tech- nology involves the use of high -temperature refractory materials and one of the most important classes of these is the oxides, i.
This book originated out of the papers presented at the special symposium, "e;Electrochemistry in Transition-From the 20th to the 21st Century,"e; scheduled by the Division of Colloid and Surface Science during the American Chemical Society meeting in Toronto.
This book contains 17 invited papers and 80 communicated papers presented at the International Symposium on Physical Acoustics, held at the University Campus of Kortrijk, Belgium, from 19-22 June 1990.
This volume chronicles the proceedings of the Symposium on Particles on Surfaces: Detection, Adhesion and Removal held under the auspices of the Fine Particle Society in San Francisco, July 28-August 2, 1986.
This book represents the proceedings of the second inter- disciplinary conference on materials characterization held from July 30 through August 3, 1984 at the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University.
This volume (parts A and B) contains the edited papers presented at the annual Review of Progress in Quantitative NDE held at the University of California, San Diego, July 8-13, 1984.
The state of development of composite materials is quite unique in the scientific world with simultaneous advances being made both in their usage and basic understanding.
In this volume there is set forth the text of the Pro- ceedings of the Third International Conference on Sintering and Related Phenomena, which conference was held at the University of Notre Dame on June 5-7, 1972.
DEFECTS AND TRANSPORT IN OXIDES is the proceedings of the eighth Battelle Colloquium in the Materials Sciences, held in Columbus and Salt Fork, Ohio, September 17-22, 1973.
The authors of this contribution to the literature of resonance spectroscopy in paramagnetic systems are primarily concerned with the properties of the rare earth ions and, as such, the formal derivation of crystal field theory is set out in a manner which reflects this dominant interest.
The building explosion during the years 1945-1960 will inevitably lead to increased demolition in the next decades since the lifetime distribution of structures no longer fulfills its functional social requirements in an acceptable way.
During late 1978, a symposium entitled "e;Science Underlying Radioactive Waste Management"e; was one component of the Annual Meet- ing of the Materials Research Society held in Boston, Massachusetts.
This 6th International Symposium on Thermal Expansion, the first outside the USA, was held on August 29-31, 1977 at the Gull Harbour Resort on Hecla Island, Manitoba, Canada.
Crystallography may be described as the science of the structure of materi- als, using this word in its widest sense, and its ramifications are apparent over a broad front of current scientific endeavor.

This book is a sequel to Reliability Evaluation of Engineering Systems: Concepts and Techniques, written by the same authors and published by Pitman Books in January 1983.
New developments in the application of radiation to medicine are occurring so rapidly that this is possibly the fastest growing branch of medicine today.
This and its companion Volume 2 chronicle the proceedings of the First Technical Conference on Polyimides: Synthesis, Char- acterization and Applications held under the auspices of the Mid- Hudson Section of the Society of Plastics Engineers at Ellenville, New York, November 10-12, 1982.
The second edition of this textbook is identical with its fourth German edi- tion and it thus has the same goals: precise definition of basic phenomena, a broad survey of the whole field, integrated representation of chemistry, physics, and technology, and a balanced treatment of facts and comprehen- sion.
Industrial Crystallization Symposia have been organized by the Crystallization Research Group at the Czechoslovak Research Institute for Inorganic Chemistry, Usti nad Labem, since 1960.
