ISBNThis book is an excellent modern treatise on bainite and as such it is unrivalled. It contains 15 chapters which include: Early Research, Tempering of Bainite, Thermodynamics, Kinetics, Upper and Lower Bainite, Other Morphologies of Bainite and Modern Bainitic Steels. This book will quickly become the standard work on the subject. For anyone who is concerned with bainite and bainitic steels, this book is invaluable. The book is suitable for students, lecturers and people in industry. Importantly, the author has managed to write the book in a captivating way and for any metallurgist it is a "must" to read. In the first chapter the author does not discuss Bain's autobiography: Pioneering in Steel Research -A Personal Record by E. C. Bain, 1975, pp.277, ASM published posthumously. The book by Bain serves two functions: 1) it gives a detailed account of the famous experiments of Davenport and Bain and how they were received by metallurgists, and 2) it provides readers with an excellent introduction to Bain's questioning method of research.
Abstract:To use the renewable fuels for marine field is still very limited due to the need of newly developed technology, highly requested safety (for gas fuel) and high price of biodiesel. Therefore, with some advantages, such as: simple producing process, reasonable price and simple modification technology needed, the blended SVO (straight vegetable oil) is recommended as suitable fuel for the marine application. Even though, there are some disadvantages of the blended SVO, such as a weak stability, layer separation in low temperature and some others. In order to apply the blended SVO as alternative fuel for marine diesel engines without the mentioned disadvantages, the paper will introduce a method to design and produce a fuel continuous mixer to make a blended SVO (palm oil).
How to motivate employees to commit to the organization and to have more voluntary, beneficial behaviors for the organization is an interesting topic for researchers and managers. Based on the theory of equity, authors analyze the impacts of perceived justice and emotional intelligence on employees’ organizational commitment and organizational citizenship behaviors. The mixed research method is used to build a research model and to verify hypotheses with the data of 171 respondents working in different industries which deal with customers in HCM city. The partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) is used in order to explore the impacts of the two high order construct: Emotion intelligence and perceived justice on the organizational commitment, then onto organizational citizen behavior (OCB). The research results pointed out that all hypotheses are accepted. Perceived justice has greater impacts on employees’ organizational commitment than emotional intelligence. In contrast, emotional intelligence has greater influences on employees’ OCB than perceived justice. Managers should establish clear working process, offer opportunities for employees to express their feelings and recognize exactly employees’ contributions in order to improve the employees’ perception of fairness. Selecting carefully candidates and providing training programs are best ways to increase employees’ emotional intelligence.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
