  • The History of Composites

    People, Science, Technology and Society
    • 1st Edition
    • Ignaas Verpoest + 3 more
    • English
    The History of Composites: People, Science, Technology and Society introduces the reader to key milestones in the discovery and technological development of composite materials, including their processes and applications. Sections give a “bird’s eye view” that surveys the basic concept of composites from ancient times right through to the crucial inventions of glass fibers and manmade plastics in the 1930’s. Further content explores the revolution of carbon fibers and their nano-descendants graphene and carbon nanotubes while also analyzing the dynamics of innovations to further illustrate how fundamental discoveries have led to the creation of new products or improved existing ones.By presenting these fundamental discoveries, the authors hope to inspire both researchers and engineers in their quest to develop further innovations in composite materials in the future, including both their processes and applications.

  • Spatial Analysis for Complex Territorial Systems

    Geo-information Technologies and European Official Statistics
    • 1st Edition
    • Luca Salvati
    • English
    Spatial Analysis for Complex Territorial Systems: Geo-information Technologies and European Official Statistics offers a multidisciplinary exploration of spatial analysis, geo-information technologies, and official statistics, focusing on their applications in environmental, economic, and planning challenges in Europe and the Mediterranean. Comprising 16 insightful chapters authored by leading scholars from Southern and Eastern Europe, Ireland, and the United States, the book delves into the complexities of socio-ecological monitoring through data integration and refined statistical indicators. Key topics include climate monitoring, land degradation, settlement patterns, and disaster resilience, providing a comprehensive understanding of local contexts and policy implications.The book begins with contributions from a traditional ecological, agronomic, and environmental vision, then continues with a set of studies with stricter socio-demographic and economic focus. It then discusses how other quantitative approaches (e.g., based on big data and primary surveys) may clarify the role of policies and planning, addressing sustainable development goals in the ‘kaleidoscopic’ European landscapes. Conclusions confirm the urgent need of integrating the vast potential of geo-information techniques, together with spatial analysis and official statistics, into more flexible sustainable development strategies that reflect local conditions and spatially explicit background contexts.
