Abstract

Het klonen van de ooi Dolly in 1996 uit het celmateriaal van een volwassen schaap was een mijlpaal in de geschiedenis van de moderne wetenschap. Voor de eerste keer lukte het Wilmut, Campbell en hun collega's van het Roslin Institute in Schotland een zoogdier op basis van een volwassen lichaamscel te klonen. In 'De tweede schepping' leggen de geleerden die deze doorbraak hebben bereikt hun hypothesen en experimenten uit. Ze lichten hun conclusies toe en bespreken de implicaties van hun werk voor wetenschap en samenleving. Zo zullen in de toekomst genetisch aangepaste dierorganen in het mensenlichaam geïmplanteerd kunnen worden. Varkensorganen bijvoorbeeld, die vrijwel onmiddellijk door het menselijk immuunsysteem worden afgestoten, kunnen na genetische aanpassing een oplossing bieden voor het tekort aan menselijke organen. Het materiaal van genetisch versleutelde schapen kan bijvoorbeeld gebruikt worden voor de behandeling van aandoeningen als suikerziekte, de ziekte van Parkinson en spierdystrofie.Maar wat zijn de ethische consequenties van deze revolutionaire biotechnieken, hoe kunnen we onze bezwaren verzoenen met de enorme mogelijkheden die de wetenschap ons biedt? Wordt de weg geplaveid naar het klonen en genetisch manipuleren van mensen? De auteurs van 'De tweede schepping', die daar zeker geen voorstanders van zijn, hebben hun boek geschreven als bijdrage aan het noodzakelijke publieke debat over de vérstrekkende implicaties van de moderne biotechnologie.

Abstract

Structure as Space is a monograph on the work of the innovative Swiss engineer Jurg Conzett, who has been instrumental in redefining the relationship between structural engineering and architecture. This volume illustrates Conzett's own exquisite designs, such as his granite stress-ribbon Suransuns Bridge, as well as his collaborations with Switzerland's leading architects, among them Peter Zumthor and Meili & Peter. These works are presented in "manual" form, providing the reader with a guide to the secrets underlying the development of each structure. Each project is documented with drawings and structural diagrams as well as photographs. Texts by J rg Conzett, Mohsen Mostafavi, and Bruno Reichlin explore the relation of engineering to architecture and the impact of engineering infrastructures on the natural environment.

Abstract

Additive Manufacturing Technologies: Rapid Prototyping to Direct Digital Manufacturing deals with various aspects of joining materials to form parts. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an automated technique for direct conversion of 3D CAD data into physical objects using a variety of approaches. Manufacturers have been using these technologies in order to reduce development cycle times and get their products to the market quicker, more cost effectively, and with added value due to the incorporation of customizable features. Realizing the potential of AM applications, a large number of processes have been developed allowing the use of various materials ranging from plastics to metals for product development. Authors Ian Gibson, David W. Rosen and Brent Stucker explain these issues, as well as: Providing a comprehensive overview of AM technologies plus descriptions of support technologies like software systems and post-processing approaches Discussing the wide variety of new and emerging applications like micro-scale AM, medical applications, direct write electronics and Direct Digital Manufacturing of end-use components Introducing systematic solutions for process selection and design for AM Additive Manufacturing Technologies: Rapid Prototyping to Direct Digital Manufacturing is the perfect book for researchers, students, practicing engineers, entrepreneurs, and manufacturing industry professionals interested in additive manufacturing.
