This CD ROM is a compilation of eight CESP volumes in 2006 consisting of 211 papers presented at the 6th Pacific Rim Conference on Ceramic and Glass Technology. Leading scientists and industrial technologists presented advancements in traditional and advanced ceramics and glass research, manufacturing, and processing.

The Chemical Reactivity Hazards Training CD is a self-paced teaching tool intended to teach people how to recognize and manage reactive chemical hazards. It provides an introduction to the topic and many online links to additional resources. The CD has three main objectives: to introduce reactive chemical hazard recognition, including hazards that can be present in facilities which do not "intentionally" practice chemistry; to provide an overview of tools for identifying reactive chemical hazards; and to Introduce chemical reactivity hazard management tools and techniques. The CD contains approximately 100 instructional screens with extensive links, graphics, videos, and supplemental slides. It can be used either as a self-paced tutorial or as an aid in lecture presentations. The CD shows how uncontrolled chemical reactions in industry can lead to serious harm and introduces key concepts for avoiding unintended reactions. The module concludes with a ten-question information quiz. An extensive glossary and bibliography are directly accessible from any page within the product.

This topical CD proceeding compiles a number of the key papers presented at the 8th International Symposium on Crystallization in Glasses and Liquids, helping to bridge the gap between the scientific understanding of nucelation and growth in glasses and the various applications of glass ceramics and other crystalline materials.

Professional experts and students will gain an in-depth understanding and appreciation for the breadth of coverage of IEEE standards terms and definitions.

This is an easy-to-read, handy guide to the current terms used within 46 IEEE Standards and the wireless technology world. It includes nearly 3,200 terms and definitions with complete source citations. Search for terms by keyword, standard number or alphabetically This CD-ROM also features easy-to-read equations and formulas. This CD-ROM is more than a dictionary in most cases it reads like an encyclo­pedia. Rather than just giving a terse definition for vari­ous wireless terms, many of the definitions contain additional information to provide context for understand­ing the term. A little history is added where appropriate as well as some opinion regarding the technical and mar­keting issues that make the design of wireless systems so interesting. The Overview addresses a couple of topics that are common to many of the defini­tions, frequency bands and the OSI networking model. Wireless technology, like many other technical fields, has its own set of jargon and acronyms. Many times, these acronyms are used simply to reduce the effort required to describe concepts. The goal of this CD-ROM is to provide meaning for the acro­nyms and jargon used in the wireless industry with a par­ticular emphasis on commercial systems. Although not exhaustive, an additional goal was to include the most commonly used terms. Individuals who are experts in one particular field, e.g., 3G cellular or WLANs, will find terms from other fields with which they may be unfamiliar. Individuals who need to have broad view of the wireless landscape will find that this CD-ROM covers most of the top­ics and terms that are important in today's market. Technology areas that are addresses in the CD-ROM include: ad hoc networks, broadband wireless access (BWA), coexistence, integrity/confidentiality, interference, low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN), media independent handover, mobile broadband wireless access, mobility, quality of service (QoS), RF/microwave exposure assessment, SAR measurements, vehicular mobility, wireless access, wireless communications, wireless local area networks (WLANs), wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs), wireless networks security, wireless personal area networks (WPANs), as well as wireless regional area networks (WRANs).
