Microemulsions: Properties and Applications (Surfactant Science)

CRC Press, 2008

The effective use of microemulsions has increased dramatically during the past few decades as major industrial applications have increased in a variety of fields. This volume provides a complete and systematic assessment of all topics affecting microemulsion performance, discussing fundamental characteristics, theories, and applications of these...

Essential Microbiology

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

Essential Microbiology is a comprehensive introductory text aimed at students taking a first course in the subject. Covering all aspects of microbiology, it describes the structure and function of microbes before considering their place in the the living world. The second half of the book focuses on applied aspects such...

The Discovery of the Germ (Revolutions in science)

Icon Group International, 2002

Words, like coins, are subject to devaluations and debasement. Big words, like revolution, are particularly vulnerable. Because of its proper coupling with adjectives such as American, French or Industrial, the term ‘revolution’ has been exploited by a myriad writers seeking to hype up some comparatively minor change in, say, the...

Scientific American Inventions and Discoveries : All the Milestones in Ingenuity From the Discovery of Fire to the Invention of the Microwave Oven

John Wiley & Sons, 2004

This encyclopedia of invention and discovery is a historical one, dividing the inventions and scientific discoveries of the human race into six periods and reviewing them in the context of their impact on broader society. Organizing significant inventions in such a way, rather than in a single listing, requires some thought as to the periodization,...

Kinetics of Catalytic Reactions--Solutions Manual

Springer, 2005

This advanced textbook teaches readers to design kinetic experiments involving heterogeneous catalysts, to characterize these catalysts, to acquire rate data, to find heat and mass transfer limitations in these data, to select reaction models, to derive rate expressions based on these models, and to assess the consistency of these rate equations....

Innovation in Life Cycle Engineering and Sustainable Development

Springer, 2006

The focus of this book is the consideration of environmental issues in engineering process and product design. It presents a selection of 30 papers ensuing from the 12th CIRP International seminar on Life Cycle Engineering, held at the university of Grenoble, France, in April 2005.

Sustainable development is more and more at the core of...

Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-Like Elements, Transition Metal-Containing Polymers, Volume 6

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

"This book is well written and is readily accessible to readers of all levels…an excellent introduction to new researchers and a good reference for those more familiar with this field of study." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, May 3, 2006)

This series provides a useful, applications-oriented forum for...

Visualizing Magnetic Fields: Numerical Equation Solvers in Action (With CD-ROM)

Academic Press, 2001

The physicist Michael Faraday said that the study of magnetic lines of force was greatly influential in leading him to formulate many of those concepts that are now so fundamental to our modern world, proving to him their "great utility as well as fertility." Michael Faraday could only visualise these lines in his mind's eye and, even...

Production Planning in Production Networks: Models for Medium and Short-term Planning

Springer, 2008

Distributed production networks are structures which are considered able to provide the organisational agility and efficiency necessary to compete in the global market. The performance of such organisations heavily depends on the ability of those involved in the network to coordinate their activities. Two approaches are available for managing...

Integration of Alternative Sources of Energy

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Our goal in writing this book was to discuss the ‘‘electrical side’’ of alternative energy sources. From the beginning, we felt that this approach would be a challenge that would be very difficult to fulfill. Most of the current technical work explores just one or two types of alternative energy sources, but the integration...

Modeling, Sensing and Control of Gas Metal Arc Welding

Elsevier Limited, 2003

Hardbound. Arc welding is one of the key processes in industrial manufacturing, with welders using two types of processes - gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW). This new book provides a survey-oriented account of the modeling, sensing, and automatic control of the GMAW process. Researchers are presented with the most...

Composites for Construction: Structural Design with FRP Materials

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials have developed into economically and structurally viable construction materials for buildings and bridges over the last 20 years. FRP composite materials used in structural engineering typically consist of glass, carbon, or aramid fibers encased in a matrix of epoxy, polyester, vinylester, or...
