This book presents the state of the art on thermophysical and thermochemical properties, fabrication methodologies, irradiation behaviours, fuel reprocessing procedures, and aspects of waste management for oxide fuels in general and for thoria-based fuels in particular. The book covers all the essential features involved in the development of and working with nuclear technology. With the help of key databases, many of which were created by the authors, information is presented in the form of tables, figures, schematic diagrams and flow sheets, and photographs. This information will be useful for scientists and engineers working in the nuclear field, particularly for design and simulation, and for establishing the technology. One special feature is the inclusion of the latest information on thoria-based fuels, especially on the use of thorium in power generation, as it has less proliferation potential for nuclear weapons. Given its natural abundance, thorium offers a future alternative to uranium fuels in nuclear technology. In closing, the latest information on conventional uranium and plutonium fuels is also provided.

Collection of selected, peer reviewed papers from the 6th Forum on New Materials, part of CIMTEC 2014-13th International Ceramics Congress and 6th Forum on New Materials, June 15-19, 2014, Montecatini Terme, Italy. The 32 papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Novel Functional Carbon Nanomaterials, Chapter 2: Transport in Inorganic Materials, Chapter 3: Non-Volatile Inorganic Memory Devices, Chapter 4: Novel Superconducting Materials. Keyword: Novel Functional Carbon Nanomaterials; Transport in Inorganic Materials; Non-Volatile Inorganic Memory Devices; Novel Superconducting Materials This third of four volumes of proceedings covers the conferences on novel functional carbon nanomaterials; mass, charge, and spin transport in inorganic materials: fundamentals to applications; novel non-volatile inorganic memory devices: materials, concepts, and applications; and the science and engineering of novel superconductors. The 32 papers consider such topics as possibilities of graphene application in textronic devices, the elucidation of metal diffusion mechanisms in conducting-bridge random access memory using first-principle calculations, doped hafnium oxide as an enabler for ferroelectric field effect transistors, and critical current density and pinning energy of a partially melted samarium-based superconductor. -- Engineering - Electronics-- Inorganic materials-- Materials science-- Semiconductors.

The Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides an up-to-date resource for information on legal ethics. Federal, state and local courts in all jurisdictions look to the Rules for guidance in solving lawyer malpractice cases, disciplinary actions, disqualification issues, sanctions questions and much more. In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.
