Understanding Vineyard Soils

Oxford University Press, 2009

Terroir connotes a sense of place that imparts a distinctive character to wine. A central component of terroir is the soil and its immediate surroundings. Thus, an understanding of the basic properties of soils and how they function as a "living skin" on the earth's surface is of fundamental importance to grape growers and winemakers....

The Art of Problem Solving in Organic Chemistry

Risk Analysis of Complex and Uncertain Systems (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science)

Springer, 2009

This book is motivated by the following convictions:

1) Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) can be a powerful discipline for improving risk management decisions and policies.
2) Poorly conducted QRAs can produce results and recommendations that are worse than useless.
3) Sound risk assessment methods provide the benefits of QRA...

Hydrocarbon Chemistry, Second Edition

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Seven years passed since the publication of the first edition of our book. It is rewarding that the favorable reception of and interest in hydrocarbon chemistry called for a second edition. All chapters were updated (generally considering literature through 2001) by adding sections on recent developments to review new advances and results. Two new...

Solution Processing of Inorganic Materials

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

Discover the materials set to revolutionize the electronics industry

The search for electronic materials that can be cheaply solution-processed into films, while simultaneously providing quality device characteristics, represents a major challenge for materials scientists. Continuous semiconducting thin films with large carrier mobilities are...

Low Temperatures And Cold Molecules

Imperial College Press, 2008

New, unexpected and largely unexplored physical phenomena occur in systems cooled to very low temperatures. The background temperature in the universe is approximately 2.7 K, but much lower temperatures have now been obtained in the laboratory. This book reviews the progress in a number of related fields in which the common themes are low...

Atmospheric Thermodynamics: Elementary Physics and Chemistry

Cambridge University Press, 2009

This textbook presents a uniquely integrated approach in linking both physics and chemistry to the study of atmospheric thermodynamics. The book explains the classical laws of thermodynamics, focuses on various fluid systems, and, recognizing the increasing importance of chemistry in the meteorological and climate sciences, devotes a chapter to...

Recreations in the Theory of Numbers

Dover Publications, 1964

WHILE the author was a student, an enthusiastic mathematics professor recommended to the class a book entitled Mathematical Recreations and Essays, by W. W. R. Ball. The students dutifully made a note of the title and most of them no doubt promptly forgot about it. Many years later when the book was mentioned to several of the author's own classes,...

Field Confirmation Testing for Suspicious Substances

CRC Press, 2009

Frequently a substance found at a port of entry, waste site, laboratory triage facility, or even in a hazardous materials emergency will be labeled and purportedly identified. But law enforcement and other first responders cannot take this claim at face value, as the accuracy is not confirmed and must be verified. A comprehensive handbook for...

Corrosion Mechanisms in Theory and Practice (Corrosion Technology)

CRC Press, 2002

Corrosion is a major issue for the increase of service life and reliability of metallic materials. A detailed understanding of the mechanisms of corrosion helps us to solve existing corrosion problems and to prevent future problems.

The aim of this book is to review recent advances in the understanding of corrosion and protection...
