The Gulf Stream Voyage: Using Real Time Data in the Classroom

This paper describes the Gulf Stream Voyage, an Internet-based multidisciplinary project which utilizes both real time data and primary source materials to help guide students to discover the science and history of the Gulf Stream. There are several advantages of using real time data in the classroom, including: the infusion of inquiry-based learning; fostering problem solving skills; addressing several learning styles; and student relevance. Educational levels: Graduate or professional

Spacelab 3 Mission Science Review

Papers and abstracts of the presentations made at the symposium are given as the scientific report for the Spacelab 3 mission. Spacelab 3, the second flight of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) orbital laboratory, signified a new era of research in space. The primary objective of the mission was to conduct applications, science, and technology experiments requiring the low-gravity environment of Earth orbit and stable vehicle attitude over an extended period (e.g., 6 days) with emphasis on materials processing. The mission was launched on April 29, 1985, aboard the Space Shuttle Challenger which landed a week later on May 6. The multidisciplinary payload included 15 investigations in five scientific fields: material science, fluid dynamics, life sciences, astrophysics, and atmospheric science

Nanoprobes for Tumor Theranostics

This book reports cutting-edge technology in nanoprobes or nanobiomaterials used for the accurate diagnosis and therapy of tumors, involving a multidisciplinary of chemistry, materials science, oncology, biology, and medicine

Sol–Gel Method Applied to Crystalline Materials

Sol–gel chemistry is a versatile synthesis used to produce modern materials at nearroom temperature. Glasses, ceramics, composites, and new hybrid materials that are not easy to obtain using other methods have been, instead, obtained in the last three decades and nowadays are widely used. Changing the chemical composition, many parameters of the sol-gel process can be adapted to control the properties and the microstructure of the obtained materials. Sol-gel technology is a multidisciplinary science which allows the expansion of materials for many applications. In this Special Issue, special attention is paid to the properties of materials obtained by using sol–gel methods and to their potential applications in environmental science and materials science as in catalysis, optics, electronics, energy, biosensors, medicine, and so on

[Review of] Susan Lobo and Steve Talbot, eds. Native American Voices: A Reader

This valuable collection of readings edited by leading scholars in the field enriches the social science and educational literature for several reasons. First, the book provides a wealth of information for both undergraduate and graduate students. The readings are multidisciplinary, and contain scholarly articles, journalistic selections, documents, oral history and testimony, songs and poetry, maps and charts. The readings encompass a global approach with their foci on Indian peoples of the United States, as well as a few selections of indigenous groups in Canada and Latin America. The book is arranged into nine interrelated parts with discussion questions, key terms, and suggested readings at the end of each part. In short, the articles succeed in bringing to students important materials representing the rich diversity of Native Peoples

A Foreword from the Editor-in-Chief

I am very happy to announce that the Non-Metallic Material Science (NMMS) which is an open access and multidisciplinary academic journal and a technical platform bringing out original research work and covering all aspects of non-metallic materials, has started its publication journey by the Bilingual Publishing Co., in 2019. The scope of the journal is devoted to publish original experimental and theoretical research papers, reviews, short communications, and technical notes mainly in the areas of polymeric materials, composites and hybrid materials, inorganic and carbon-based materials.
