Recycled Materials in Civil and Environmental Engineering
The aim of this reprint was to report recent innovative studies based on the use of secondary raw materials for applications in civil and environmental engineering. To this purpose, papers were related to the preparation of innovative construction materials and to the treatment of wastes for environmental applications. The investigations were characterized by a common purpose, i.e., to find a way to reduce the amount of waste generated, thus reducing the need for landfilling and optimizing the values of these novel materials, which are an abundant resource that can be easily reused for different applications
Continuing professional development - challenge for professional organization
Professions, as one of key sectors of social systems,
bear a leading role in the existing social work organization.
Free professions take up a special place and significance,
all the way from Roman artes liberales to our times.
Pharmaceutical profession, as one of the oldest, led by
ethical principles, is regulated by postulates accepted by
the profession members, and in modern times established
through legislations. Typical determinants of the regulated
professions, which also refer to pharmacists, as chamber
members, are as follows: following ethical principles,
specific skills and knowledge, professional development,
autonomy at work, continuing improvement, competencies
development, professional associations, licensing
Spacecraft Charging Technology, 1978
The interaction of the aerospace environment with spacecraft surfaces and onboard, high voltage spacecraft systems operating over a wide range of altitudes from low Earth orbit to geosynchronous orbit is considered. Emphasis is placed on control of spacecraft electric potential. Electron and ion beams, plasma neutralizers material selection, and magnetic shielding are among the topics discussed
