Tribologie, Korrosion, Konstruktion und Werkstofftechnik sind Wissensbereiche, die sich zunächst parallel entwickelt haben. Das gleiche gilt für die verschiedenen Verfahren der Oberflächentechnik. Heute wird es zunehmend wichtiger, interdisziplinäre Ansätze zu finden, um die Problemstellungen der Zukunft, wie z.B. Umweltschutz oder Ressourcenschonung, gemeinsam zu lösen. Das Buch verfolgt den Ansatz, diese Wissensbereiche zu verknüpfen. Es beginnt mit einer Beschreibung technischer Oberflächen hinsichtlich chemischer Zusammensetzung und geometrischer Struktur. Technische Systeme des Maschinenbaus (Bauteile oder Werkzeuge) sind Umgebungseinflüssen (Druck, Chemie, Temperatur) ausgesetzt, die zu Oberflächenschäden durch Verschleiß und Korrosion führen können. Um Oberflächen davor zu schützen, müssen die Grundlagen der Tribologie (Lehre von Reibung und Verschleiß) und Korrosion zunächst verstanden sein, weshalb die wichtigsten Begriffe und Definitionen zu Beginn des Buches beschrieben werden. Schwerpunkt des Buches ist die Behandlung der Verfahren der Oberflächentechnik, die im Maschinenbau Anwendung finden. Jedes Verfahren wird hinsichtlich Beschichtungsprozess, Anlagentechnik, Schichtwerkstoffen, typischen Schichtdicken, Beschichtungstemperaturen und Schichtwerkstoffen beschrieben und anhand von Anwendungsbeispielen vorgestellt. Wesentliches Element der Oberflächentechnik ist die Kombination unterschiedlicher Werkstoffe oder Werkstoffeigenschaften, um Volumen- und Oberflächeneigenschaften getrennt voneinander entsprechend der Anwendung optimieren zu können. Daher ist abschließend eine sehr kurze Einteilung wichtiger Werkstoffe gegeben (Metalle, Keramiken, Polymere). Die Kombination aus Tribologie, Korrosion, Verfahren der Oberflächentechnik und Werkstoffkunde ermöglicht eine strukturierte Herangehensweise bei der Auslegung von Oberflächen.

There’s no need for expensive, high-tech lab equipment to perform biology experiments—you probably have all you need in your home junk drawer. Use balloons, drinking straws, and empty plastic bottles to construct working models of hearts and lungs. Investigate plant transpiration and photosynthesis with leaves and resealable bags. Build a candy DNA model using gumdrops, toothpicks, and licorice rope. Study capillary action in plant xylem using colored water and paper towels. Extract DNA from a banana using a simple chemical process. Or learn how to turn a smartphone into a photographic microscope. Here are more than 50 great hands-on experiments that can be performed for just pennies . . . or less. Each project has a materials list, detailed step-by-step instructions with illustrations, and a brief explanation of the scientific principle being demonstrated—seed germination, osmosis, human senses and systems, chromosomes, mitosis and meiosis, and more.

A woman challenges the constraints of life in Prohibition-era Appalachia in this sweeping and richly rewarding novel about endurance, survival, and redemption. The McKenzie women, empowered with a formidable history rooted in the foothills of Appalachia, have passed down their folk-healing wisdom through generations. Rosalee, the last living headstrong daughter in Granny McKenzie’s line, soaked up everything she could about the secrets of the forest before a series of tragedies left her alone, without the protection of the women who came before her. The close-knit ties of Rosalee’s childhood are long gone. Now, at her eastern Kentucky farm, she bears a marriage with a volatile bootlegger. She struggles with the demands of motherhood. And her independence is relegated to its “proper place”: under the thumb of men. Her optimism dimming, Rosalee finds solace in the Kentucky woods, a space that holds secret powers of protection from a life Rosalee can no longer control. To the graves of her female ancestors, beside the waters of an enchanting spring, Rosalee returns time and again to consider her future—and discovers a mysterious connection to her past. As Rosalee wrestles with her isolation, with being a wife in an increasingly dangerous marriage, and with being a woman of her time, she must draw on her strength and resilience to survive—and to protect—on her own terms.

Este Cuaderno de Lengua Española se ha escrito con el fin de explicar de forma clara pero exhaustiva el estatuto lingüístico y el comportamiento morfológico y funcional de la interjección. Con él se pretende cubrir uno de los aspectos de la morfosintaxis del español que merece una descripción más detallada de la que ofrecen las gramáticas. Se trata, por tanto, de una monografía que facilita una primera aproximación al estudio de la interjección en todas sus vertientes. Para el análisis y caracterización de la interjección se ha seguido el procedimiento habitualmente utilizado en la descripción de las diferentes categorías gramaticales: tras una presentación previa de esta unidad como categoría independiente y su delimitación frente a otras partes de la oración (capítulo l), en el capítulo II se realiza su descripción morfológica como unidades lexicalizadas asociadas con un contorno exclamativo y especializadas en la manifestación de contenidos expresivos (apelativos). En el tercero, se

TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND HUMAN RESOURCES SET Coordinated by Patrick Gilbert The accelerating pace of technological change (AI, cobots, immersive reality, connected objects, etc.) calls for a profound reexamination of how we conduct business. This requires new ways of thinking, acting, organizing and collaborating in our work. Faced with these challenges, the Human and Social Sciences have a leading role to play, alongside others, in designing, supporting and implementing these digital transformation projects. Their ambition is to participate in the development of innovative and empowering devices, that is to say, systems that are truly at the service of human beings and their activity, that empower these professionals to take action and that also provide occupational health services. This book takes a multidisciplinary look at the challenges of these digital transformations, making use of occupational psychology, ergonomics, sociology of uses, and management sciences. This viewpoint also helps provide epistemological, methodological and empirical insights to better understand and support the changes at work.

The book's mission is to document the legends of the Memphis soul music business. Photographer Thom Gilbert set up a photo studio at Royal Studios in Memphis, home of the famed Hi Records that launched the careers of Al Green, Ann Peebles, and dozens of others. The studio's "green room" was filled with soul music royalty: Bobby "Blue" Bland in his signature nautical cap, several of the Hodges brothers who make up the incomparable Hi Rhythm Section were on hand, Stax Records musicians Bobby Manuel, Lester Snell were there actually working on a recording, but pausing to have their portraits taken. Gilbert has captured images of what seems like every living person related to Memphis soul music. From Rev. Jesse Jackson, who recorded spoken word albums on Stax's Respect Records label, to Sam Moore of the indelible soul duo Sam & Dave, Carla Thomas, Steve Cropper, B.B. King, Bobby Rush, and many others, including the lesser known but equally vital session players, writers, engineers, publicists who contributed to what is now world renowned as The Memphis Sound.
