This book introduces some basic and advanced studies on ionic liquids in the electrochemical
field. Although ionic liquids are known by only a few scientists and
engineers, their applications’ potential in future technologies is unlimited. There
are already many reports of basic and applied studies of ionic liquids as reaction
solvents, but the reaction solvent is not the only brilliant future of the ionic liquids.
Electrochemistry has become a big field covering several key ideas such as energy,
environment, nanotechnology, and analysis. It is hoped that the contributions on
ionic liquids in this book will open other areas of study as well as to inspire future
aspects in the electrochemical field. The applications of ionic liquids in this book
have been narrowed to the latest results of electrochemistry. For this reason only
the results on room-temperature ionic liquids are presented, and not on hightemperature
melts.
The reader of this book should have some basic knowledge of electrochemistry.
Those who are engaged in work or study of electrochemistry will get to know the
great advantages of using ionic liquids. Some readers may find the functionally
designed ionic liquids to be helpful in developing novel materials not only in electrochemistry
but also in other scientific fields. This book covers a wide range of
subjects involving electrochemistry. Subjects such as the solubilization of biomolecules
may not seem to be necessary for electrochemistry concerning ionic liquids,
but some readers will recognize the significance of solubility control of functional
molecules in ionic liquids even in an electrochemical field. Many more examples
and topics on ionic liquids as solvents have been summarized and published elsewhere,
and the interested reader will benefit from studying the references that are
provided at the end of each chapter. |

 Anti-Spam Measures: Analysis and DesignThe primary goal of this work is the methodical analysis of the potential, limitations, advantages, and drawbacks of anti-spam measures. These determine to which extent the measures can contribute to the reduction of spam in the long run. The range of considered anti-spam measures includes legislative, organizational, behavioral and technological... | | | | Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis in C (2nd Edition)
This book describes data structures, methods of organizing large amounts of data, and algorithm analysis, the estimation of the running time of algorithms. As computers become faster and faster, the need for programs that can handle large amounts of input becomes more acute. Paradoxically, this requires more careful attention... |
