Maize (Zea mays L.) commonly called corn, field corn, or Indian corn belongs to the Poaceae (Gramineae) family. It grows almost anywhere, although approximately 50% of the world’s maize is produced in the USA. It is one of the 3 major grain crops world-wide and extremely important for human and animal consumption (15 to 56% of total daily dietary caloric intake), food processing and other commercial activities in many developed and developing countries. This book aims to provide an up-to-date knowledge of recent developments in maize cultivation; the improvement of maize nutritional values to be used in food preparation and human consumption; and maize health benefits provided by the use of alternative maize varieties. The authors expect this book will provide a compendium of valuable knowledge for anyone interested in agricultural, environmental and food sciences.

Free Download Justin K. Burnett, "Theory and Uses of Acoustic Emissions "
English | ISBN: 1612099602 | 2012 | 289 pages | PDF | 12 MB
Acoustic Emission (AE) is a naturally occurring phenomenon whereby external stimuli, such as mechanical loading, generate sources of elastic waves. AE occurs when a small surface displacement of a material is produced due to stress waves generated when there is a rapid release of energy in a material, or on its surface. This new book presents current research in the study of the theory and uses of acoustic emissions. Topics discussed include acoustic emission from rocks generated in the course of a variety of experiments; applying the acoustic emission technique to estimate the defect density and strength of adhesively bonded couplings and structural health monitoring of ships and offshore structures using acoustic emission testing.
