Demonstrates the ways in which print artefacts asserted and
contested literary value in the modernist period This study focuses
on the close connections between literary value and the materiality
of popular print artefacts in Britain from 1890-1930. The book
demonstrates that the materiality of print objects--paper quality,
typography, spatial layout, use of illustrations, etc.--became
uniquely visible and significant in these years, as a result of a
widely perceived crisis in literary valuation. In a set of case
studies, it analyses the relations between literary value, meaning,
and textual materiality in print artefacts such as newspapers,
magazines, and book genres--artefacts that gave form to both
literary works and the journalistic content (critical essays, book
reviews, celebrity profiles, and advertising) through which
conflicting conceptions of literature took shape. In the process,
it corrects two available misperceptions about reading in the
period: that books were the default mode of reading, and that
experimental modernism was the sole literary aesthetic that could
usefully represent modern life. Key Features Gives readers access
to a sphere of literary production and reception that is virtually
unexamined by existing scholarship Provides a fresh view of
literary production and the print marketplace by refusing to
foreground literary modernism as a critical lens. Instead, it
focuses on more widely read and accessible print artefacts,
including the Illustrated London News in the 1890s; the London
Mercury; John O'London's Weekly; and the poetry anthology as a book
genre The book constitutes a simultaneously historical and
theoretical inquiry into the workings of literary value
This book provides a detailed instruction to virtually reproduce
the processes of Additive Manufacturing on a computer. First, all
mathematical equations needed to model these processes are
presented. Due to their flexibility, meshfree methods represent
optimal computational solution schemes to simulate Additive
Manufacturing processes. On the other hand, these methods usually
do not guarantee an accurate solution. For this reason, this
monograph is dedicated in detail to the necessary criteria for
computational solution schemes to provide accurate results. Several
meshfree methods are examined with respect to these conditions. Two
different 3D printing techniques are presented in detail. The
results obtained from the simulation are investigated and compared
with experimental data. This work is addressed to both scientists
and professionals working in the field of development who are
interested to learn the secrets behind meshfree methods or get into
the modeling of Additive Manufacturing.
This book focuses on applications of three-dimensional (3D)
printing in healthcare. It first describes a range of biomaterials,
including their physicochemical and biological properties. It then

the potential application of bioprinting, computer-aided additive
manufacturing of cells, tissues, and scaffolds to create organs in
regenerative medicine. Further, it discusses the orthopedic
applications of 3D printing in the design and fabrication of dental
implants, and the use of 3D bioprinting in oral and maxillofacial
surgery and in tissue and organ engineering. Lastly, the book
examines the 3D printing technologies that are used for the
fabrication of the drug delivery system. It also explores the
current challenges and the future of 3D bioprinting in medical
sciences, as well as the market demand.

This book presents essential algorithms for the image processing
pipeline of photo-printers and accompanying software tools,
offering an exposition of multiple image enhancement algorithms,
smart aspect-ratio changing techniques for borderless printing and
approaches for non-standard printing modes. All the techniques
described are content-adaptive and operate in an automatic mode
thanks to machine learning reasoning or ingenious heuristics. The
first part includes algorithms, for example, red-eye correction and
compression artefacts reduction, that can be applied in any photo
processing application, while the second part focuses specifically
on printing devices, e.g. eco-friendly and anaglyph printing. The
majority of the techniques presented have a low computational
complexity because they were initially designed for integration in
system-on-chip. The book reflects the authors' practical experience
in algorithm development for industrial R&D.
An accessible introduction to 3D printing that outlines the
additive manufacturing process, industrial and household markets,
and emerging uses. The use of 3D printing-digitally controlled
additive manufacturing-is growing rapidly. Consumer models of 3D
printers allow people to fabricate small plastic objects, from
cabinet knobs to wedding cake toppers. Industrial uses are becoming
widespread, as businesses use the technology to fabricate
prototypes, spare parts, custom-fitted prosthetics, and other
plastic or metal items, often at lower cost and with greater
efficiency than standard manufacturing. In this volume in the MIT
Press Essential Knowledge series, John Jordan offers an accessible
introduction to 3D printing, describing the printing process,
industrial and household markets, and emerging uses. Jordan
outlines the stages of 3D printing, from idea to software model to
a printable file that slices the planned object into printable
layers to the finished object itself. He describes additive
technologies, consumer 3D printing in homes and schools, mass
customization (which can create tens of millions of unique items),
and industrial uses. Jordan explains that although 3D printers have
not become the ubiquitous home appliance once predicted, they are
making inroads into mass markets; and he discusses the business
factors that may hinder industry adoption of 3D printing
technologies. He considers the possible unintended consequences of
3D printing on jobs, as companies scramble to find employees with
an uncommon skill set; on business models and supply chains, as
manufacturing is decentralized; and on patent law, as machines can
be programmed to copy protected property. Finally, Jordan looks at
new and emerging uses, including bioprinting, building
construction, and micromachines.
This book celebrates the 40th anniversary of the bar code and is
written for those who over the years have asked the author what
these bar codes are all about. It deals with why they were
invented, who created them, how they are managed and used, whether
they have been 'a good thing', how much longer they will last and
what may replace them. It tells you how you can 'read between the
lines' and 'what's in a number'. But it is not a detailed technical
or historical account. It is an entertaining account full of
stories and personalities designed to show that the term
'interesting bar codes' is not an oxymoron.
A systematic guide consisting of over 100 recipes which focus on
