Dear
valued subscriber,
Writing
about Methodology: The Methodology should contain
sufficient detail for readers to replicate the work done and obtain
similar results. It is true that your work must contain sufficient
detail to be repeatable, but the type of writing you will need to do is
not just a record of what you did and/or used...

![]() Nanomagnetism and Spintronics
Fabrication, Materials, Characterization and Applications
edited by Farzad Nasirpouri (Sahand University of
Technology, Iran) & Alain Nogaret (University of Bath, UK)
Spintronics
manipulates individual magnetic moments to integrate logic
functions and non-volatile information storage on the same platform. As
is often the case in condensed matter science, advances are made
through the synthesis of novel materials and high quality new physics
materials. Giant magnetoresistance and dilute magnetic semiconductors
are two such examples. However, the remarkable potential of spintronics
for quantum computation faces major challenges when it comes to
controlling simultaneously several qbits encoded in magnetic moments.

The
usage of nanoscience and nanotechnology in engineering directly links
academic research in nanoscience and nanotechnology to industries and
daily life. As a result, numerous nanomaterials, nanodevices and
nanosystems for various engineering purposes have been developed and
used for human betterment. This book, which consists of eight
self-contained chapters, provides the essential theoretical knowledge
and important experimental techniques required for the research and
development on nanoscience and nanotechnology in engineering, and deals
with the five key topics in this area — Nanoscience and
Nanotechnology in Engineering is based on the many lectures and
courses presented around the world by its authors.

Nanoporous
Materials: Science And Engineering
edited by G Q Lu (University of Queensland,
Australia) & X S Zhao (National University of Singapore, Singapore)
This
book provides a series of systematic reviews of the recent
developments in nanoporous materials. It covers the following topics:
(1) synthesis, processing, characterization and property evaluation;
(2) functionalization by physical and/or chemical treatments; (3)
experimental and computational studies on fundamental properties, such
as catalytic effects, transport and adsorption, molecular sieving and
biosorption; (4) applications, including photonic devices, catalysis,
environmental pollution control, biological molecules separation and
isolation, sensors, membranes, hydrogen and energy storage, etc.

Smart Mems
And Sensor Systems
by Elena Gaura (Coventry University, UK) &
Robert Newman (Coventry University, UK)
The
combination of MEMS and integrated intelligence has been put
forward as a disruptive technology. The full potential of this
technology is only evident when it is used to construct very large
pervasive sensing systems. The book explores the many different
technologies needed to build such systems and integrates knowledge from
three different domains: MEMS technology, sensor system electronics and
pervasive computing science.

Order and
Disorder ![]()
Science Essentials for the Non-Scientist
by Myron Kaufman (Emory University, USA)
Order
and Disorder is a non-mathematical introduction to the most
important ideas in science for university students not majoring in a
scientific area. The objective is to prepare non-science students for
making both life and political decisions involving science and helping
them to understand the advances in sciences as covered and reported in
the mass media. The book is highly comprehensive in physics and
chemistry, and provides the essential background to discuss and gain a
better appreciation of selected topics in biological and neurological
sciences, as well as astronomy and geology. The topics are integrated
with the recurring theme of order and disorder, the organization
achieved in the face of the never-ending drive towards disorganization.
The book also lends an insight into some considerations of the
philosophy of science, as well as the applications of science to health
and a variety of other professions. The reading experience is enhanced
by the provision of illuminating examples, supplementary reading and a
summary of each chapter. New terminologies, that appear here for the
first time, are set off in bold italics and annotated in the glossary.
Where basic principles are introduced and explained, these are
highlighted prominently in bold for ease of reference. Stimulating
discussion questions are presented at the end of each chapter, giving
readers some food for thought.
Science ![]()
A Many-Splendored Thing
by Igor Novak (Charles Sturt University,
Australia)
This
book provides the first integrated account of all factors which
play a role in making Science what it is today. The book discusses
historical, sociological and philosophical aspects of Science
emphasizing their interconnectedness. It describes many of the latest
developments in scientific practice as well old unsolved problems. The
book aims to be explanatory and stimulating rather than comprehensive.
The book is an overview of important issues and aims to present these
issues in the context of not only Society but of Science itself. One of
the important aims of the book is to clarify misconceptions about
Science held by general public or by scientists themselves. Science and
scientists in this book are presented in their true light, not as
stereotyped by the media.

Speaking Technically
A Handbook for Scientists, Engineers and Physicians on How to Improve
Technical Presentations
by Sinclair Goodlad (Imperial College)
The author draws upon his observations of people speaking technically
in after-dinner speeches; conference presentations; coping with
visitors; inaugural lectures; industrial presentations; industrial
tourism; lectures to students; presentations to funding bodies; project
reports; public inquiries; school talks; section and departmental
meetings; telephone calls and consultations.
Complete
with highlighted points, checklists and review points for easy
reference and practice, Speaking Technically is for anyone who has
ideas and information to communicate, wants to do so effectively, finds
the process stressful and has little time to prepare.
