Additive Manufacturing of Bio and Synthetic Polymers

Abstract Additive manufacturing technology offers the ability to produce personalized products with lower development costs, shorter lead times, less energy consumed during manufacturing and less material waste. It can be used to manufacture complex parts and enables manufacturers to reduce their inventory, make products on-demand, create smaller and localized manufacturing environments, and e…

Additive Manufacturing of High-performance Metals and Alloys

Abstract Freedoms in material choice based on combinatorial design, different directions of process optimization, and computational tools are a significant advantage of additive manufacturing technology. The combination of additive and information technologies enables rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing models on the design stage, thereby significantly accelerating the design cycle in me…

A Themed Issue in Honor of Professor Raphael Mechoulam: The Father of Cannabi…

During the last 60 years the relevance of cannabis (Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica) ingredients, like the psychoactive Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol, 120+ additional cannabinoids and 440+ non-cannabinoid compounds, for human health and disease has become apparent. Approximately 30 years after the elucidation of THC structure the molecular reasons for the biological activity of…

03 Editors' preface; Indian Recordings (Schomerus 1929): 1. Introductory note…

The CD publication features 30 sound recordings, chiefly recitations of classical Tamil poetry, made by Hilko Wiardo Schomerus in Madras (Chennai) in 1929. What is new and special about this release is the publication of the sources, of which hitherto no (or only little) notice has been taken. Die CD-Publikation enthält 30 Tonaufnahmen, hauptsächlich Rezitationen aus der klassischen tamilis…

Additive Manufacturing (AM) for Advanced Materials and Structures

Abstract Additive manufacturing (AM), as an advanced manufacturing technology, has overturned the traditional concept of subtractive manufacturing. It has revolutionized advanced integrated structural design, high-performance material preparation, and the manufacturing of complex components. AM technology is changing the way products are developed, produced, and commercialized, leading to disr…

02 Portici Advanced Design Studio

The design work carried out on the city of ​​Portici represented, for the students in the last year of the Master’s Program in Architecture 5UE, an important experiment, from a design and professional point of view, towards the development of an approach aimed at finding an adequate and factual response to the multiple needs posed by the reality of the context in which it operates. The bo…

Adding nonlinearity to an electromagnetic-magnonic quantum hybrid device

Abstract In this book, hybrid systems based on yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG), three dimensional microwave cavity resonators, and superconducting transmon qubits, are investigated by continuous wave and pulsed microwave spectroscopy. Limitations to the magnetic linewidth in the quantum regime are identified and coherent exchange between a magnon and a superconducting qubit are demonstrated. Finally…

Addiction, Modernity, and the City

Abstract Examining the interdependent nature of substance, space, and subjectivity, this book constitutes an interdisciplinary analysis of the intoxication indigenous to what has been termed "our narcotic modernity." The first section – Drug/Culture – demonstrates how the body of the addict and the social body of the city are both inscribed by "controlled" substance. Positing addiction as …
