This framework in turn emphasizes the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary nature and orientation of the topic of smart sustainable cities and thus the relevance of pursuing an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach into studying this topic.
In this chapter, mechanical and tribological results on PPS-based nanocomposites are described, analyzing the influence of the nature, shape, orientation, concentration, and state of dispersion of the nanofillers.

The morphology of porous silicon is influenced by the substrate nature (its orientation, doping type, and concentration), the electrolyte composition (HF and additive concentrations), and the anodization parameters (applied current or potential, illumination, etc).
He describes problems with "the quality, breadth, nature, and orientation of OMM instruction," and he claims that the teaching of osteopathic medicine has not changed sufficiently over the years to meet the intellectual and practical needs of students.
