Transmaterial : A catalog of materials that redefine our physical environment
These days, whether you're designing a building or a toaster, a savvy knowledge of materials is increasingly critical. And keeping up with the constant flow of new materials, let alone their applications, properties, and sources, is an increasingly difficult and time-consuming task. Blaine Erickson Brownell, author of Transmaterial, known to thousands of web users for his "product of the week" email service alerting designers to new materials that are reshaping our world, has created this handy and affordable reference to the most interesting and most useful new materials now available.

It is examined how basic sciences and basic research are providing new methods and materials that will enable clinicians to treat patients more effectively.
Transitions in Mathematics Education
This book examines the kinds of transitions that have been studied in mathematics education research. It defines transition as a process of change, and describes learning in an educational context as a transition process. The book focuses on research in the area of mathematics education, and starts out with a literature review, describing the epistemological, cognitive, institutional and sociocultural perspectives on transition. It then looks at the research questions posed in the studies and their link with transition, and examines the theoretical approaches and methods used. It explores whether the research conducted has led to the identification of continuous processes, successive steps, or discontinuities. It answers the question of whether there are difficulties attached to the discontinuities identified, and if so, whether the research proposes means to reduce the gap – to create a transition. The book concludes with directions for future research on transitions in mathematics education.

Transformations and Projections in Computer Graphics
Transformations and projections are used extensively in Computer Graphics, a field which is now a part of everyone’s lives via feature films, advertisements in the media, the screens of PDAs, mobile phones, and other vehicles and outlets. Transformations and Projections in Computer Graphics provides a thorough background in these two important topics in graphics. The book introduces perspective in an original way and discusses the mathematics of perspective in detail, yet in an accessible way. It also treats nonlinear projections in depth, including the popular fisheye, panorama, and map projections used by many professionals to enhance digital images. Only a basic knowledge of linear algebra, vectors, and matrices is required of readers, as key ideas are introduced slowly, examined and illustrated by figures and examples, and enforced through solved exercises.

Traité des infections et pathologies génitales à papillomavirus = Treated on genital papillomavirus infections and pathologies
The impact of papillomavirus (HPV) infection is considerable. More than one in two women has been exposed to HPV in her lifetime and about 10% will develop a chronic infection. Of these, 20% will develop cervical cancer in the absence (or failure) of screening. Optimization of screening and better management are now possible through the use of innovative techniques such as smear in liquid suspension and HPV testing. Because cervical cancer is the ultimate consequence of chronic HPV infection, we now have the extraordinary chance to prevent it with a prophylactic vaccine intended to protect women from the associated precancerous and cancerous HPV lesions, as well as condylomata acuminata. This resolutely practical and educational collective work takes stock of knowledge on HPV infection and its associated pathologies while deciphering the new issues and practices in the vaccine era.
