Yap Encyclopedia Chapter Appeared in an Awarded Reference
October 10, 2005
Last year, Assistant Professor Yoke
Khin Yap published
a book chapter in the Encyclopedia
of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. This
is the world’s first encyclopedia ever published in the field of
nanotechnology. The 10-volume Encyclopedia is now announced as "The
2005 Best Reference Work Award” by The Awards Committee of The Engineering
Libraries Division (ELD) of the American Society for Engineering Education.
As quoted by the committee:
This encyclopedia brings together international research in these groundbreaking areas…. The Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology proves to be a definitive tool that links both the novice and expert researcher to understandable articles and matches the caliber of past recipients of ELD's Best Reference Work Award.
This encyclopedia contains 419 chapters written by experts from 35 countries. Dr. Yap is the author of a chapter “Boron-Carbon Nitride Nanohybrids,” printed in volume 1 (page 383 to 394) of the Encyclopedia. This Encyclopedia is foreword by Professor Richard E. Smalley (Nobel Prize Laureate, 1996). The 10-volume Encyclopedia is now available in the reference section of the J. Robert Van Pelt Library (second floor, T174.7.E53).
