A rich variety of scientific, materials engineering and applied works devoted to the complex study of Ni-Mn-Ga Heusler alloys were stimulated by these hopes.
These properties of the novel materials are needed to solve large-scale applied problems such as a creation of magnetocaloric devices and new technology for actuators, which can be applied in an instrument engineering industry, micro and nanomechanics etc.
The magnetocaloric measurements were performed with the use of the Magnetocaloric Measuring Setup produced by Advanced Magnetic Technologies and Consulting Ltd (AMT&C) [64].

Advancing the strategic impact of human-centred design.

This chapter elucidates the effect of various alloying elements on phase constitutions, crystallographic structural stability and thermodynamics of Ni- and Fe-aluminides to engineer a prospective bond coat.
The phase equilibria at the Al-rich corner of Al-Ni-Pt system was experimentally determined by Grushko et al. [59, 60] at temperatures ranging from 800 °C to 1100 °C (1073 K to 1373 K) by means of equilibrated alloys employing advanced characterization tools.
Therefore, the properties of a modified bond coat can be engineered by regulating either composition or temperature or both.

To reach a point where a-PbO can be employed as an effective direct photoconverter in the radiology clinic, it is necessary to elucidate both the layered structure and the role of oxygen vacancies, and perhaps to engineer solutions for the complications that they represent.

Introduction: The Road of Biomimetics The ideals of biomimicry are considered as some of the most prosperous ones among materials scientists of the modern day, who increasingly follow the biomimetic approach to design and fabrication of advanced materials [1-6].
Furthermore, an unchanging pattern of enamel matrix protein bands in the advanced secretory stage of amelogenesis is a sign of a steady, well-balanced state in which the ratio between enamel matrix components is kept constant during relatively long periods of time [26].
Besides, as the number of atomic elements available to humans in the design of advanced materials and structures far exceeds that employed by the living organisms, it is natural to expect that not merely imitating and copying, but being inspired by, learning from and going beyond the natural design is the way forward for materials science and engineering of the future [153].
Experiments on using phage peptide libraries [81,157] and engineering novel specific protein sequences [73] based on adsorption studies present some of such attempts to go beyond Nature.
