The book covers the topic of geopolymers, in particular it highlights the relationship between structural differences as a result of variations during the geopolymer synthesis and its physical and chemical properties. In particular, the book describes the optimization of the thermal properties of geopolymers by adding micro-structural modifiers such as fibres and/or fillers into the geopolymer …
Presents details of derivations of the basic equations of fracture mechanics and the historical context of the development of fracture theory and methodology Treats linear and nonlinear fracture mechanics methodologies beginning with a review of the basic equations of solid mechanics followed by solutions useful in fracture prediction Illustrates the basis of linear elastic fracture mecha…
Munculnya HIV dan acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) terkait adalah salah satu temuan medis dan kesehatan masyarakat yang paling signifikan di zaman modern [1]. Dapat diperdebatkan bahwa tidak ada penyakit lain yang berdampak besar pada semua aspek masyarakat, termasuk sistem sosial, politik, kesehatan, pendidikan, dan hukum di seluruh dunia. Dampaknya yang menghancurkan terhadap negara…
Harga obat berdampak pada populasi secara umum; Namun, masalah yang berkaitan dengan harga berubah dengan cepat di lingkungan yang beragam secara ekonomi di mana wajah kesehatan berubah dan perkembangan teknologi menjadi eksponensial. Di negara berpenghasilan rendah dan menengah, harga obat merupakan satu-satunya faktor terpenting yang menentukan ketersediaan dan keterjangkauan. Di negara-negar…
Instructors in today’s language classrooms face the challenge of preparing globally competent and socially responsible students with transcultural aptitude. As classroom content shifts toward communication, collaboration, and problem solving across cultural, racial, and linguistic boundaries, the teaching of culture is an integral part of foreign language education. This volume offers nontrad…
How closely can or should writing centers and writing classrooms collaborate? Beyond Dichotomy explores how research on peer tutoring one-to-one and in small groups can inform our work with students in writing centers and other tutoring programs, as well as in writing courses and classrooms. These multi-method (including rhetorical and discourse analyses and ethnographic and case-study) investi…
The Australian Academy of Science has had a long standing interest in the provision of science education to Australian school students. Recognising that skills and attitudes in science are acquired at an early age, the Academy in 1994 launched a major program in science education at primary school level under the title Primary Investigations. Since science teachers at primary and lower secondar…
This book is devoted to two primary objectives. The first is to present the errors, inadaptability, and mistakes arising when the current theory on concrete is applied to explaining practical construction of concrete; the second is to put forward viewpoints in modern concrete science. Taking a number of engineering cases as examples, we experimentally studied and theoretically analyzed the err…

This book reviews the development of antifouling surfaces and materials for both land and marine environments, with an emphasis on marine anti biofouling. It explains the differences and intrinsic relationship between antifouling in land and marine environments, which are based on superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity respectively. It covers various topics including biomimetic antifouling…
