Active Physics Sports
by David Wright Arthur Eisenkraft Howard Brody Mary Quinlan Carl Duzen Jon L. HarknessAll student activities in this textbook have been designed to be as safe as possible, and have been reviewed by professionals specifically for that purpose. As well, appropriate warnings concerning potential safety hazards are included where applicable to particular activities.
Active Physics: An Inquiry Approach to Physics
by Arthur EisenkrafPhysics should be experienced and make sense to you. Each chapter of Active Physics begins with a challenge--develop a sport that can be played on the Moon; build a home for people with a housing crisis; persuade your parents to lend you the family car; and so on. These are tough challenges, but you will learn the physics that will allow you to be successful at every one. Part of your education is to learn to trust yourself and to question others. When someone tells you something, can they answer your questions: "How do you know? Why should I believe you? and Why should I care?" After Active Physics, when you describe why seat belts are important, or why sports can be played on the moon, or why communication with extraterrestrials is difficult, and someone asks, "How do you know?" your answer will be, "I know because I did an experiment."

Active Probe Atomic Force Microscopy: A Practical Guide on Precision Instrumentation
by Kamal Youcef-Toumi Fangzhou Xia Ivo W. RangelowFrom a perspective of precision instrumentation, this book provides a guided tour to readers on exploring the inner workings of atomic force microscopy (AFM). Centered around AFM, a broad range of mechatronic system topics are covered including mechanics, sensors, actuators, transmission design, system identification, signal processing, dynamic system modeling, controller. With a solid theoretical foundation, practical examples are provided for AFM subsystem level design on nano-positioning system, cantilever probe, control system and system integration. This book emphasizes novel development of active cantilever probes with embedded transducers, which enables new AFM capabilities for advanced applications. Full design details of a low-cost educational AFM and a Scale Model Interactive Learning Extended Reality (SMILER) toolkit are provided, which helps instructors to make use of this book for curriculum development. This book aims to empower AFM users with deeper understanding of the instrument to extend AFM functionalities for advanced state-of-the-art research studies. Going beyond AFM, materials presented in this book are widely applicable to precision mechatronic system design covered in many upper-level graduate courses in mechanical and electrical engineering to cultivate next generation instrumentalists.
Active Protective Coatings: New-Generation Coatings for Metals (Springer Series in Materials Science #233)
by Anthony E. Hughes Johannes M.C. Mol Mikhail L. Zheludkevich Rudolph G. BuchheitThis book coversa broad range of materials science that has been brought to bear on providingsolutions to the challenges of developing self-healing and protective coatingsfor a range of metals. The book has a strong emphasis on characterisationtechniques, particularly new techniques that are beginning to be used in thecoatings area. It features many contributions written by experts from variousindustrial sectors which examine the needs of the sectors and the state of theart. The developmentof self-healing and protective coatings has been an expanding field in recentyears and applies a lot of new knowledge gained from other fields as well asother areas of materials science to the development of coatings. It hasborrowed from fields such as the food and pharmaceutical industries who haveused, polymer techniques, sol-gel science and colloidosome technology for arange encapsulation techniques. It has also borrowed from fields like hydrogenstorage such as from the development of hierarchical and other materials basedon organic templating as "nanocontainers" for the delivery of inhibitors. Inmaterials science, recent developments in high throughput and othercharacterisation techniques, such as those available from synchrotrons, arebeing increasing used for novel characterisation - one only needs to look atthe application of these techniques in self healing polymers to gauge wealth ofnew information that has been gained from these techniques. This work islargely driven by the need to replace environmental pollutants and hazardouschemicals that represent risk to humans such as chromate inhibitors which arestill used in some applications.
