International monograph about this outstanding New York architect, engineer and artist. James Carpenters Arbeiten sind eine ungewöhnliche Verbindung aus Architektur und Kunst. Seine Glasfassaden - u.a. für das Deutsche Auswärtige Amt in Berlin - spielen ein Spiel mit Licht, Reflektion und Refraktion. Sie lenken unseren Blick nach außen oder schaffen je nach Sonnenstand wechselnde Eindrücke für den Passanten. Carpenter hat auch Kurzfilme und Video-Installationen geschaffen und sich dort vor allem mit Themen der Ökologie auseinandergesetzt. Er zeichnet für die Fassade des World Trade Center 7 verantwortlich, dem ersten Hochhaus, das auf dem Ground Zero-Gelände in New York im Oktober 2005 fertiggestellt werden wird. Weitere Arbeiten sind der Moiré Treppenturm im Post Tower in Bonn, das Tulane University Student Center in New Orleans und das Dichroic Light Field, eine Installation an einem Hochhaus an der Columbus Avenue in New York. Sandro Marpillero, geboren 1955 in Italien, ist Architekt und schreibt regelmäßig für die Architekturzeitschriften A+U, Casabella, Rassegna und Lotus International. Er unterrichtet als Associate Professor an der Columbia University in New York.

Talks about quantum mechanism that allows the macroscopic quantum coherence of a superconducting condensate to resist to the attacks of high temperature. This book presents the experimental results on nanoscale phase separation and the two component scenario in high Tc in doped cuprate and the lower symmetry in the superconducting elements.

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) have become real engineering materials. MMCs have gone from "niche" materials to several high performance applications in aerospace, electronic packaging, automotive, and recreational products. This text focuses on the synergistic relationships among processing, microstructure, and properties of metal matrix composites. An introductory chapter is followed by a chapter each on reinforcements and common matrix materials. A chapter on the very important topic of processing of MMC is then presented. This is followed by a chapter on interfaces in MMCs, their characterization and techniques to obtain interfacial properties. Next there are chapters on monotonic mechanical and physical properties; followed by cyclic fatigue, creep, and wear resistance. We conclude with a chapter on applications of MMCs. The book is well-suited for upper level undergraduate students, graduate students, and as general source of reference on the subject for the professionals in the field.
