    The 15th IFAC World Congress in Barcelona is the largest to date, and has attracted contributions from renowned scientists at top research institutions from around the world.The Proceedings provide the official record of the Congress, and contain all of the papers that were presented. Published in 20 subject-oriented volumes plus a Plenary Volume the proceedings provide a fully comprehensive overview of latest research into control engineering theory practice and applications. The Plenary Volume also contains 'milestone reports' and surveys by IFAC's technical committees on the state of research in their technical areas. In addition, the Proceedings include a CD-ROM containing all papers in fully searchable format. The volumes and CD are also availble to purchase individually.

  • Bioanalytical Separations

    • Volume 4
    • English
    Bioanalytical Separations is volume 4 of the multi-volume series, Handbook of Analytical Separations, providing reviews of analytical separation methods and techniques used for the determination of analytes across a whole range of applications. The theme for this volume is bioanalysis, in this case specifically meaning the analysis of drugs and their metabolites in biological fluids.

  • Geosciences, Environment and Man

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 1
    • H. Chamley
    • English
    Geosciences, Environment and Man has three major objectives, which determine the division in three parts of this volume: I. To consider the main natural geological processes interfering with and therefore threatening the activities of man: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, land movements, floods, wind and coastal risks; main prevention and mitigation measures against these natural hazards are presented. II. To examine the exploitation of earth's natural resources such as materials, ores and minerals, fossil fuels, water, radioactivity, and the resulting consequences on solid Earth balance and future. III. To assess the hold level reached by the activities of man on planet surface envelopes through agriculture, urbanization, industrialization, and communication; the local to global effects of human influence triggered by recent demographic growth on underground, soils, water and air characters are taken into account. Both deteriorating and beneficial aspects of Earth - the interactions of man are emphasized, as well as mitigation or restoration measures and perspectives.

  • Fungal Genomics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • English
    The purpose of this volume is to highlight wide-ranging applications of genomics in the area of applied mycology and biotechnology.The volume covers: a brief overview on fungal genomics; meiotic recombination in fungi; molecular genetics of circadian rhythms; genome sequencing; transposable elements; mitochondrial genomes; ribosome biogenesis; pathogenicity genes; genetic improvement of yeasts; microarrays: techniques and applications; fungal germplasm and data bases. Although it is difficult to develop a comprehensive volume on fungal genomics because of the range and complexity of the emerging knowledge, an attempt has been made to bring together pertinent information that will serve the needs of the reader, provide a quick reference to material that might otherwise be difficult to locate, and furnish a starting point for further study.

  • Side Effects of Drugs Annual

    A world-wide yearly survey of new data and trends in adverse drug reactions
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26
    • English
    The Side Effects of Drugs Annual was first published in 1977. It has been published continuously since then, as a yearly update to the encyclopaedic volume Meyler's Side Effects of Drugs. Each new Annual provides clinicians and medical investigators with a reliable and critical yearly survey of new data and trends in the area of Adverse Drug Reactions and Interactions. An international team of specialists have contributed to the Annuals by selecting critically from each year's publications all that is truly new and informative, by critically interpreting it, and by pointing out whatever is misleading. The use of the book is enhanced by separate indexes, allowing the reader to enter the text via the drug name, adverse effect, or drug interaction.Special features of the Annuals are the Side Effects of Drugs Essay, usually written by a guest author, and the special reviews: short articles, within the different chapters, that give extra attention to topics of current interest.The Essay in Annual 26 is entitled 'How safe is cannabis?' (by Professor L.L. Iversen) and there is a Historical Essay entitled 'From thalidomide to pharmacovigilance: a personal account' (by Professor D.J. Finney).The special reviews in this volume include, among others: The cognitive effects of Ecstasy Antipsychotic drugs and weight gain Vigabatrin-related visual abnormalities Managing the adverse effects of morphine The cardiotoxic effects of antihistamines Inhaled corticosteroids and growth inhibition in children Bioterrorism and its prevention through immunization

  • Advances in Neural Network Research: IJCNN 2003

    • 1st Edition
    • D.C. Wunsch II + 3 more
    • English
    IJCNN is the flagship conference of the INNS, as well as the IEEE Neural Networks Society. Ithas arguably been the preeminent conference in the field, even as neural network conferenceshave proliferated and specialized. As the number of conferences has grown, its strongestcompetition has migrated away from an emphasis on neural networks. IJCNN has embraced theproliferation of spin-off and related fields (see the topic list, below), while maintaining a coreemphasis befitting its name. It has also succeeded in enforcing an emphasis on quality.

  • Analysis and Fate of Surfactants in the Aquatic Environment

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40
    • Thomas P. Knepper + 2 more
    • English
    An understanding of the fate and behaviour of organic chemicals, such as surfactants, in the environment is a prerequisite for the sustainable development of human health and ecosystems. As surfactants are being produced in huge amounts, it is important to have a detailed knowledge about their lifetime in the environment, their biodegradability in wastewater treatment plants and in natural waters, and their ecotoxicity. Parameters relevant for the assessment of long-term behaviour, such as interactions with hormonal systems need to be understood to avoid unexpected adverse effects to future generations of people and the environment. However, the identification and quantification of commercial surfactants in the environment is made more complicated and cumbersome because they comprise of tens to hundreds of homologues, oligomers and isomers of anionic, nonionic, cationic and amphoteric compounds.The EU-funded PRISTINE project (Priority surfactants and their toxic metabolites in wastewater effluents: An integrated study; ENV4-CT97-0494) provides the basis for the content of this title. It provides policy makers and industry with detailed information on analysis and concentrations of surfactants and their degradation products in the environment.In addition to a general introduction to surfactants, this book comprises a comprehensive variety of analytical techniques, including sample handling, for the analysis of surfactants in the aquatic environment. Readers will find all the necessary information for analyzing the different groups of surfactants, with special emphasis on transformation products. Quality assurance is also reported on in detail. Chapters on toxicity and risk assessment are also included and give a complete perspective on the surfactants problem in the aquatic environment.

  • Transport Mediated by Electrified Interfaces

    Studies in the Linear, Non-linear and far from Equilibrium Regimes
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 18
    • English
    Transport Mediated by Electrified Interfaces provides an overview of the innovative use of electro-kinetic phenomena in experimentally exploring non-equilibrium regions of chemically non-reacting systems. Transport phenomena mediated by charged liquid-liquid interfaces and solid-liquid interfaces are also covered. Transport phenomena mediated by electrified interfaces are discussed in the context of a number of important areas, including, soil/water systems, phase transfer catalysis, animal/plant physiology and mimicking taste/smell sensing mechanisms.
