This book contains 35 review articles on nanoscience and nanotechnology that were first published in Nature Nanotechnology, Nature Materials and a number of other Nature journals. The articles are all written by leading authorities in their field and cover a wide range of areas in nanoscience and technology, from basic research (such as single-molecule devices and new materials) through to applications (in, for example, nanomedicine and data storage).
With the modernization of services offered through the internet, many traditional face-to-face services have adopted new e-service phenomena. Especially prevalent among the younger generations, this change in service has promoted many industries to rethink how to best reach their consumers using modern technology. Structural Equation Modeling Approaches to E-Service Adoption is a pivotal reference source that aims to share the latest empirical research findings within technology acceptance, information systems, information technology, human-computer interaction, and management information systems. While highlighting topics such as e-commerce, internet banking, and technology acceptance, this publication explores the understanding of today’s e-services in a dynamic and complex environment, as well as the methods within the field of information systems and information technologies. This book is ideally designed for academics, students, managers, and scholars interested in the up-and-coming research surrounding the field of information technology.
This book provides the most comprehensive and authoritative book yet published on the subject of criminal investigation, a rapidly developing area within the police and other law enforcement agencies, and an important sub discipline within police studies. The subject is rarely out of the headlines, and there is widespread media interest in criminal investigation. Within the police rapid strides are being made in the direction of professionalizing the criminal investigation process, and it has been a particular focus as a means of improving police performance. A number of important reports have been published in the last few years, highlighting the importance of the criminal investigation process not only to the work of the police but to public confidence in this. Each of these reports has identified shortcomings in the way criminal investigations have been conducted, and has made recommendations for improvement . The Handbook of Criminal Investigation provides a rigorous and critical approach to not only the process of criminal investigation, but also the context in which this takes place, the theory underlying it, and the variety of factors which influence approaches to it. It will be an indispensable source of reference for anybody with an interest in, and needing to know about, criminal investigation. Contributors to the book are drawn from both practitioners in the field and academics.
