Multilingual Dictionary of Nuclear Reactor Physics and Engineering
This multilingual dictionary explains, in simple and clear
language, the most frequently-used terms and expressions in the field of nuclear
reactor physics and engineering, and provides translations of these terms from
English into French, German, Swedish and Polish.
This unique resource offers many advantages over the use of online translation tools,
which are often incorrect when dealing with scientific and technical words. Instead,
this dictionary has used a wide variety of peer-reviewed books and journal papers to
ensure the highest accuracy and establish itself as a reliable and credible
reference for the reader.
It covers a broad range of exciting topics and the latest developments in the field,
including reactor technology, reactor components and systems, reactor operation and
control, reactor types, reactor physics, thermal engineering, reactor safety,
radiation protection, nuclear fuel, nuclear chemistry, the safeguarding of nuclear
materials, and much more.
This dictionary is kept on a technical level corresponding to Master and PhD studies
of nuclear physics and engineering. It will provide the reader with a broad
understanding of the necessary information that a researcher or nuclear physicist or
engineer would need to possess; therefore, it will be an invaluable resource for
students within this and related disciplines.
Features:
Contains over 1500 key terms from the field
The first book to provide translations in five languages: English,
French, German, Swedish and Polish
Accessible to Master and PhD students, in addition to early career
researchers in nuclear reactor physics and engineering

Haptic feedback teleoperation of optical tweezers
The authors of this book provide the first review of haptic optical tweezers, a new technique which brings together force feedback teleoperation and optical tweezers. This technique allows users to explore the microworld by sensing and exerting piconewton-scale forces with trapped microspheres. The design of optical tweezers for high-quality haptic feedback is challenging, given the requirements for very high sensitivity and dynamic stability. The concept, design process and specification of optical tweezers reviewed throughout this book focus on those intended for haptic teleoperation. The authors provide two new specific designs as well as the current state of the art. Furthermore, the remaining important issues are identified for further developments. Haptic optical tweezers will soon become an invaluable tool for force feedback micromanipulation of biological samples and nano- and micro-assembly parts.

The safe use of cryogenic technologies
The use of cryogenic materials within both research and industrial environments continues to grow as new technologies gradually embrace the discipline. As these developments establish in more facilities around the world, there will be a consequential increase in the likelihood of cryogenic accidents happening. As the temperature range of cryogenic technologies has potential life-threatening significance to the human body, a greater awareness of the associated risks and how to mitigate hazards is crucial for their safe application. Reflecting and developing on best-practice guidance in the British Cryogenics Council's 'Cryogenics Safety Manual', this book will explore these recognisable hazards along with the vast assortment of regulations which apply to the use of cryogenic materials.

Bildwelten des Wissens
Bilder zeigen nicht nur, sie fordern zu Handlungen auf und bedingen diese. Die zunehmende Verschaltung von Technologien, Körpern und Objekten durch visuelle Schnittstellen wie Graphical User Interfaces, Touchscreens oder Augmented Reality Anwendungen macht Betrachter zuallererst zu Benutzern. Planen, Navigieren und Intervenieren sind nur mehr in Kenntnis eines entsprechenden handlungsbezogenen Bildwissens durchführbar. Um die untrennbare Einheit von Darstellungs- und Handlungslogik in bildgeführten Operationen aufzuzeigen, bedarf es einer disziplinenübergreifenden Refexion. Unter dem Begriff 'Image Guidance' diskutiert der vorliegende Band die ästhetischen, operationalen und epistemischen Bedingungen, unter denen Visualisierungen zu Medien der Steuerung und Handlungsanleitung werden.
Images not only show something, they also prompt the viewer to carry out the action they define. The increasing interaction between technologies, entities and objects via visual interfaces such as graphical user interfaces, touchscreens or augmented reality applications makes the viewer - first and foremost - a user. The actions of designing, navigating and intervening can only be carried out when the viewer has the relevant knowledge in connection with the image. In order to demonstrate the inseparable unity of the logic of visualization and action in image-controlled operations, interdisciplinary reflection is needed. Under the term 'Image Guidance', this volume discusses the aesthetic, operational and epistemic conditions under which visualizations become media of control and directions for action.

Pourquoi les Mouches Aiment-Elles les Crottes ?
Il y a des questions qu'on ose à peine se poser, qui nous concerne pourtant et qui, une fois posées, nous empêchent de dormir ! Pourquoi y a t-il toujours la queue aux toilettes des filles ? Le cola a t-il un quelconque lien avec la cocaine ? Pourquoi le flamant rose se tient-il sur une patte ? De l'utilité de l'appendice vermiculaire.
