Soils on a Warmer Earth
Effects of Expected Climate Change on Soil Processes, with Emphasis on the Tropics and Sub-Tropics
1st Edition
Volume 20
H.W. Scharpenseel + 2 more
English
The theme of this book is a far reaching one and should attract great interest, both in industrialized as well as in less developed countries. Although the question of climate change and its effects on soil productivity is overshadowed by so many current events, it is almost certain that this subject will remain on the international agenda for the years to come; not only as science and research are concerned but also in relation to development policies, agricultural policies and others, especially since poor, rich, developed and developing countries are equally threatened by these problems.
Chemisorption of Probe Molecules
1st Edition
Volume 57B
English
The present volume concentrates on catalyst surfaces. The interaction of adsorbed molecules, mostly on heterogenous catalysts, although some reference to model catalysts is also made, is discussed here. Vibrational (infrared and electron energy loss spectroscopies, magnetic resonances (nuclear and electron spin) and thermal desorption methods have been included in this latter category. The reader will find also a comparison of these well established methods with their recent developments which make them much more attractive. Therefore, researchers working in the catalysis field will find much to interest them in this book.
Methods of Surface Analysis of Heterogeneous Catalysts
1st Edition
Volume 57A
English
This two-volume work provides an overview of the most common spectroscopic techniques which have been applied to reveal catalyst structures and surface characteristics in both model catalysts and those of industrial importance. A great amount of work on catalyst characterization using spectroscopic probes has been undertaken from both fundamental and applied perspectives. However, this general information is in urgent need of a critical revision. To undertake this task, a number of experts in the fields of structural and surface characterization of heterogeneous catalysts have contributed to this book. Part A provides an up-to-date review of the theoretical basis and applications of spectroscopic methods to identify catalyst structures (photoelectron spectroscopy, ion scattering, infrared, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, Mössbauer). Part B concentrates on catalyst surfaces. The interaction of adsorbed molecules, mostly on heterogenous catalysts, although some reference to model catalysts is also made, is discussed here. Vibrational (infrared and electron energy loss spectroscopies, magnetic resonances (nuclear and electron spin) and thermal desorption methods have been included in this latter category. The reader will find also a comparison of these well established methods with their recent developments which make them much more attractive. Therefore, researchers working in the catalysis field will find much to interest them in this book.

Tribology of Plastic Materials
Their Characteristics and Applications to Sliding Components
1st Edition
Y. Yamaguchi
English
This book presents a thorough overview on workable theories and reliable experimental data on the use of plastic materials for sliding parts.Divided into four parts. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with current theories of friction and wear, and include discussion of various hypotheses based upon experimental studies. Chapter 3 details experiments designed to improve tribological performance via polymer blending and composite production, whilst Chapter 4 explains how the data obtained from these experiemnts can be applied to sliding machine parts. The work will prove useful in the design of plastic materials and components and will also provide a stepping-stone toward future innovations in this field.

New Developments in Selective Oxidation
1st Edition
Volume 55
G. Centi + 1 more
English
This volume describes state-of-the-art advances in fundamental and applied aspects of partial selective oxidation in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, including electrochemical and photo-oxidation. Comprising 93 papers, this book will provide a valuable set of data on reactions of selective oxidation which will be extremely useful to catalyst and related practitioners, whether fundamentalists or highly applied, and to process engineers who wish to evaluate current findings in this field. The wide-range approach to reactions of selective oxidation will disseminate knowledge in specialized areas of selective oxidation, serve as a springboard for new ideas and encourage innovation and creativity. Being an up-to-date reference source for all those studying in this field, this book should be on the bookshelf of all applied and academic research centres involved in the functionalization of molecules by selective oxidation.
Automated Stratigraphic Correlation
1st Edition
Volume 13
F.P. Agterberg
English
This book provides an introduction to recent developments in automated stratigraphic correlation of fossil data, using computer programs for ranking and scaling of stratigraphic events. Mainframes or microcomputers can be used to aid the stratigrapher during data inventory for a region or time period, for construction of a biozonation based on stratigraphic events, (such as the latest appearance datum of a fossil species), and for automated correlation. The book is intended for advanced geology students, research workers and teachers with a background in stratigraphy and an interest in using computer-based techniques for problem-solving.
