Many good books have been written recently on this new field called biomimetics or bionics, but few exploring simultaneously the characterization and technological processes to produce man-made surfaces with similar properties as the biological ones. Bio-inspired surface struct…
This monograph considers structural stability on open 2-manifolds in the [italic]C[superscript italic]r-Whitney topology. The statements of the theorems in this monograph are analogous to the statements of Peixoto's theorem for compact 2-manifolds. However, to obtain the proofs …
This is a detailed paper concerning complete noncompact 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds M with nonpositive Gaussian curvature.
Electrolytes for Lithium and Lithium-ion Batteries provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific understanding and technological development of electrolyte materials in the lastseveral years. This book covers key electrolytes such as LiPF6 salt in mixed-carbonate solvents …
