CLIFFORD K. HOAND STEPHEN W. WEBB Sandia National Laboratories, P.
O. Box 5800, Albuquerque, NM 87185, USA Gas and vapor transport in
porous media occur in a number of important applications
includingdryingofindustrialandfoodproducts,oilandgasexploration,environm-
tal remediation of contaminated sites, and carbon sequestration.
Understanding the fundamental mechanisms and processes of gas and
vapor transport in porous media allows models to be used to
evaluate and optimize the performance and design of these systems.
In this book, gas and vapor are distinguished by their available
states at stan- ? dard temperature and pressure (20 C, 101 kPa). If
the gas-phase constituent can also exist as a liquid phase at
standard temperature and pressure (e. g. , water, ethanol, toluene,
trichlorothylene), it is considered a vapor. If the gas-phase
constituent is non-condensable at standard temperature and pressure
(e. g. , oxygen, carbon di- ide, helium, hydrogen, propane), it is
considered a gas. The distinction is important because different
processes affect the transport and behavior of gases and vapors in
porous media. For example, mechanisms specific to vapors include
vapor-pressure lowering and enhanced vapor diffusion, which are
caused by the presence of a g- phase constituent interacting with
its liquid phase in an unsaturated porous media. In addition, the
"heat-pipe" exploits isothermal latent heat exchange during
evaporation and condensation to effectively transfer heat in
designed and natural systems.
-Explores the changing meaning and enactments of care in teacher
education in light of COVID-19, offering timely and important
questions, considerations, examples of care for post-pandemic
teacher education. -Explores the concept of care through different
content areas (math teacher education, elementary education),
learning contexts (rural settings, religious institutions), and
communities of learners (Asian American preservice teachers, Black
teacher educators), using different conceptual frameworks (feminist
theory, relational care), and methodological orientations
(self-study, mixed methods). -Features over 50 contributors and
spans a range of teacher education contexts, from pre-service
teachers to teacher candidates, in-service teachers, and education
faculty.

The definitive assessment of how wireless communications will
evolve over the next 20 years.
Predicting the future is an essential element for almost
everyone involved in the wireless industry. Manufacturers predict
the future when they decide on product lines to develop or research
to undertake, operators when they buy licences and deploy networks,
and academics when they set PhD topics. "Wireless Communications:
The Future" provides a solid, clear and well-argued basis on which
to make these predictions.
Starting with a description of the current situation and a look
at how previous predictions made in 2000 have fared, the book then
provides the contributions of six eminent experts from across the
wireless industry. Based on their input and a critical analysis of
the current situation, it derives detailed forecasts for 2011
through to 2026. This leads to implications across all of the
different stakeholders in the wireless industry and views on key
developments.
Presents clear and unambiguous predictions, not a range of
scenarios from which the user has to decide Includes chapters
covering existing wireless systems which provide solid tutorial
material across a wide range of wireless devices Offers a range of
views of the future from high profile contributors in various areas
of the industry and from around the globe, including contributions
from Vodafone and Motorola Provides a comprehensive guide to
current technologies, offering keen analysis of key drivers, end
user needs and key economic and regulatory constraints
This book, compiled by a renowned author with a track record of
successful prediction, is an essential read for strategists working
for wirelessmanufacturers, wireless operators and device
manufacturers, regulators and professionals in the telecoms
industry, as well as those studying the topic or with a general
interest in the future of wireless communications.
There has been much discussion and debate among security analysts,
scholars, and politicians about the possible use of weapons of mass
destruction. This paper examines the prospects for international
terrorist groups employing chemical weapons. Specifically, it
argues that terrorists have the capabilities to employ chemical
weapons but will be constrained from using them. A thorough search
of available open literature material from books, periodicals, and
the internet was conducted to compile the facts of this paper.
Limited discussion with terrorist experts on the Air War College
staff and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency were also
incorporated into this paper. With the exception of the Aum
Shinrikyo, there is no open literature support for terrorist
possession of a chemical weapon. Empirical evidence does support
their ability to buy, steal, or build their own chemical weapon
capability. Political, ideological and moral constraints preclude
the traditional terrorist employment of a chemical weapon. However,
there is a growing faction of terrorists, the religious radicals,
who show a proclivity to use chemical weapons to further their
cause. The United States has developed cogent policies and
procedures to deter, detect and respond to the chemical weapon
threat. Additionally, programs have been instituted to train first
responders in all major American cities. In concluding, the paper
recognizes that traditional terrorists are constrained from using
chemical weapons but the religious radical is not.
