This book, as the fourth volume, continues on ultra-high temperature materials with melting (sublimation or decomposition) points around or over 2500 °C. In this quality the book has over-branched cross-links with the sections and tables of the previous Volumes I-III. Similarly to Volumes I-III, the book includes a thorough treatment of the physical and chemical properties of ultra-high temperature materials, namely such as W semi- and monoca...

The book aims to present several new results concerning solution and various stabilities of some functional equations in various spaces. The chapters consider various spaces to investigate stabilities justifying that stability results hold well in those spaces. It also includes results proving new insight to analyze approximate solutions to a given equation whenever uncertainty occurs. The presentation of the book should be useful for graduate...

This edited collection examines the mind of leaders throughout the Bible to understand how thoughts and behaviors can support or sabotage leadership efforts. It is divided into three parts: the first part addresses thinking, influence, and communicating through the theoretical lenses of humility, metacognition, and personal well-being. Part Two addresses managing, motivating, and change through the theoretical lenses of leader-follower relatio...
