Service Life Prediction of Polymers and Plastics Exposed to Outdoor Weathering discusses plastics and polymers and their unique applications, from sealants used in construction, to polymer composites used in planes. While these materials are important enablers for advanced technologies, exposure to weather changes the very properties of plastics that make them so useful. This book reviews current research needs and provides a consensus roadmap of the scientific barriers to validated predictive models for the response of polymers and plastics to outdoor exposure. Despite extensive efforts over the past 20-30 years, testing of polymeric materials in accelerated or natural weathering conditions and the interpretation of the weathering results still require substantial improvements. This book represents the state-of-the-art in the prediction techniques available and in development. Engineers and materials scientists working in this field will be able to use the content of this book to assess the strengths and challenges of a range of different methods and approaches. Enables engineers and scientists in a range of industries to more successfully predict the durability of polymers, paints and coatings when exposed to weather Provides the latest information to help determine the sustainability of polymeric materials Reviews the current state-of-the-art in this area and identifies research needs that are followed by more detailed discussions of specific polymers and applications

With increasing focus on excellence in research and teaching, the service role of the individual academic is often neglected. This book calls for greater recognition of this important aspect of academic life, highlighting the importance of mentoring, committee work and pastoral care in the daily running of universities. Drawing from extensive examples from models around the world, The Academic Citizen points to the benefits of effective communication with colleagues in the faculty, across the university and in corresponding faculties across the world, as well as those in maintaining positive associations with the wider world.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live a life shrouded in secrecy? On 3 January 1983, an 18-year-old college student from South Georgia entered the Main Entrance of CIA''s fortified compound in Langley, Virginia, where she raised her right hand and swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Standing there, she could never have imagined the ways in which she would honor that oath before she exited those same doors almost 32 years later - moving from supporting various CIA missions to serving as a "bad insider" who exposed a critical weakness that impacted the entire Intelligence Community to handling one of the Agency''s most prized reporters to building, leading, and managing sensitive, high-profile operations pursuing foreign spies and terrorists - or the family who would be impacted by all of this. A Life of Service, Sacrifice, and Secrets is a gripping first-hand account of a small-town girl determined to serve her country, who found her life''s purpose in a covert CIA career that spanned the Cold War to the Global War on Terror. Did key figures and opportunities just happen to surface around her over the years, repeatedly landing her in a position to make a difference, or did a Higher Power have a hand in those events? This teen from the Bible Belt rose through the Agency ranks, ultimately using her talents to both enhance national security and to disrupt the efforts of foreign spies and terrorists. LaRee Harding wrote this deeply personal memoir for her daughters, not only to share her life lessons but also to provide them a glimpse into what she was doing when she missed so much of their lives. Equally important, she hoped her story demonstrates that sometimes good things happen when life doesn''t unfold as we planned. After almost a year of pushing, former colleagues persuaded LaRee to publish her story. They stressed that this first-hand account of her career provided a unique, realistic window into CIA Intelligence Officers'' work and home life. LaRee is quick to note that CIA employees knowingly sign up for A Life of Service, Sacrifice, and Secrets, but it is thrust upon their families. For a variety of reasons, she chose to publish this version under a pseudonym. As LaRee did not intend to publish this memoir, she is donating 100% of her portion of the royalties to The CIA Officers Memorial Foundation -- an independent charity supporting the needs of CIA families. "Of all the books I''ve read about the CIA, this engaging account is the best for capturing the home and work life of an intelligence officer. LaRee''s perceptiveness, competence, energy, and passion for the CIA mission shine through as she outlines her valuable lessons learned. Anyone wondering what it is like to work inside should read this leader and mother of two children''s account of her remarkable career." - Mike Mears, retired CIA Chief of Human Capital "This story brilliantly illustrates the sacrifices CIA officers make through love of country and dedication to making the world a safer place. These sacrifices are not made in a vacuum and forever impact our families, but in the end you hope you make them proud." - M.A. Sotos, retired CIA "A gripping read. It''s been over 10 years since I picked up a book and read it all the way through, non-stop. I couldn''t put it down. So many of the stories told reminded me of moments in my own career...some of the vignettes even generated familiar memories of the stresses of urgency and uncertainty. At the front end of my application, an officer interviewing me recommended to me a specific book as a window into the biz. Great book, but this one is better and more relevant today. I seriously believe it should be in the applicant curriculum." - callsign "Hippo", retired CIA Operations Officer

As Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) gains a wider global acceptance, the need for understanding its life cycle becomes inevitable, not only for developers, but also for users. Service Life Cycle Tools and Technologies: Methods, Trends and Advances compiles the latest research on SOC life cycles, detailing methodologies and applications in this emerging field. The development of service-oriented applications not only depends on constructing service providers, but also composition and delivery. Service requesters, service providers, and developers, alike, will benefit from the views and models in a service life cycle. This volume offers research that has been conducted in both industry and academia to address issues in the SOC domain, including service discovery, service composition, and service management. It serves as a vital reference for those on either side of the service field.
