ASM Handbook, Volume 21: Composites provides a comprehensive, practical, and reliable source of technical knowledge, engineering data and supporting information for composite materials. This handbook is intended to be a resource volume for non-specialists who are interested in gaining a practical working knowledge of the capabilities and applications of composite materials. Thus, coverage emphasizes well-qualified and useful information for materials that can be produced in quantities and product forms of engineering significance.The full range of information of importance to the practical technologist is provided in this volume, including forms and properties of constituent materials, mechanics and design, processing, post-processing and assembly, testing and analysis, quality control, testing and certification, properties and performance, maintenance and repair, failure analysis, recycling and disposal, and applications.Coverage is provided of all commercially significant types of composites, including polymer- and other organic-matrix composites (OMCs), metal-matrix composites (MMCs), and ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs). Coverage is provided in a balanced fashion that is proportional to the maturity and use of each material class.The handbook is a completely revised and updated version of the Engineered Materials Handbook, Volume 1: Composites, published by ASM International in 1987. Information on OMCs has been updated to reflect advancements in this technology field, including improvements in low-cost manufacturing technologies and significantly expanded applications in areas such as infrastructure. Progress in MMCs has been particularly dramatic since the previous edition, and new information on these materials provides an up-to-date comprehensive guide to MMC processing, properties, applications, and technology. CMCs have also entered service in a number of applications since the previous edition, and these advances are described in the volume.More than 300 international experts from industry, academia, and military research facilities contributed as authors and reviewers to this handbook.
When Roseanne Grey jumps to her death on a cold December day, there's no apparent reason why - not even according to her psychiatrist. Detective Sergeant Darwin Grant is told to file the death as a simple suicide, but he's not so sure. For a start, why did a woman recovering from a road accident call out Roseanne's name as she came round, but later claim not to know her? And why had she rung Roseanne no less than fifty-three times just before she died? Even though he knows his rebelliously over-active curiosity will get him into trouble, and one more indiscretion could be his last, Grant believes in justice - and to his crusading policeman's nose, Roseanne's death smells of something other than suicide. Roseanne's psychiatrist is curious too - particularly about the mysterious woman who called out Roseanne's name. What might she know about Roseanne?There was a lot to know about Roseanne; none of it explicable ...
Introducing a world of high adventure and dark secrets, where the days are filled with wonder and the nights are consumed by lust. Lorelei, sixth princess of the Proserpian Tropic, is a mermaid. Or she used to be, until she awakens one morning to find herself captured and bound in the cabin of a strange ship, her tail replaced by two new, inexperienced legs. Her captor, the capricious Captain Vine, wastes no time in introducing the confused young maiden to the sensations of living in the world above the water - and to her own hidden desires, the depths of which run far deeper and stronger than either of them first realize. But when what should have been a simple layover for the lone pirate and her reluctant passenger goes awry, Lorelei is faced with a life-changing choice: Will she cling to the safe and familiar world she's always known, or allow herself to be swept up in a rising tide of strange adventure and intense passion? D.B. Francais brings you the first story in a series of erotic lesbian fantasy adventures, where worlds collide and love blossoms in many unexpected places. READER ADVISORY: This story contains graphic sexual reference, mostly in the form of hot girl-on-girl action, including scenes of intense ravishment, light bondage, domination, submission, seduction, exhibitionism, dubious consent, and many related things of a soft and nubile nature. If the thought of two or more women getting steamy in various states of undress does not appeal to you, please direct your attentions elsewhere. You have been warned.

Much has been written about reintegration of ex-combatants in a traditional or conventional disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration (DDR) programme. This volume examines reintegration of ex-combatants in a un-conventional DDR in which a cash-based scheme replaced a reintegration programme. It uncovers the dilemmas surrounding the un-conventional DDR programme in Nepal, situating the phenomena in the divisive politics of war to peace transition. Drawing on the narratives and perceptions of ex-combatants and their families, the volume provides a compelling analysis of why some ex-combatants reintegrate socially and economically better than others at the end of a war. Analysing the consequences and effects of reintegration of Maoist ex-combatants in the post-conflict peace and security, the volume argues that cash-based schemed in DDR programme can pacify ex-combatants and de-politicise a DDR programme but cash alone can not reintegrate ex-combatants.
