  • Contact Lens Practice

    • 4th Edition
    • Nathan Efron
    • English
    **Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Optometry**The field of contact lenses continues to evolve at a rapid pace, with new optical designs and vision correction options continually being developed. Additionally, the rapid expansion of clinical instrumentation offers eye care practitioners a wide choice of investigative techniques for assessing in-eye contact lens performance and diagnosing adverse reactions.Now in its fourth edition, Contact Lens Practice has been thoroughly updated and revised to capture these developments and more, and translate them into an organised and easily digestible resource. Written and edited by award-winning author, researcher, and lecturer, Professor Nathan Efron, this title provides a comprehensive, evidence-based overview of the scientific foundations and clinical applications of contact lens fitting. The text has been refreshed by the inclusion of five new authors – a mixture of scientists and clinicians, all of whom are at the cutting edge of their specialty.

    Nanotechnology for Civil Infrastructure: Innovation and Eco-efficiency of Nanostructured Cement-Based Materials explores recent innovations in civil infrastructure materials developed through nanotechnology. The book covers cementitious materials containing nanomaterials, covering their design, characterization and applications. The book also covers the possibilities to optimize properties such as rheological properties, mechanical strength, durability and resistance to aggressive environments and loads, and eco-efficiency. Final sections explore the integration of nanomaterials in cement mixtures that lead to nanocomposites with novel properties, such as self-healing, self-sensing, and self-cleaning, and featured applications in civil infrastructure.

  • Air Quality Monitoring and Advanced Bayesian Modeling

    • 1st Edition
    • Yongjie Li + 3 more
    • English
    Air Quality Monitoring and Advanced Bayesian Modeling introduces recent developments in urban air quality monitoring and forecasting. The book presents concepts, theories, and case studies related to monitoring methods of criteria air pollutants, advanced methods for real-time characterization of chemical composition of PM and VOCs, and emerging strategies for air quality monitoring. The book illustrates concepts and theories through case studies about the development of common statistical air quality forecasting models. Readers will also learn advanced topics such as the Bayesian model class selection, adaptive forecasting model development with Kalman filter, and the Bayesian model averaging of multiple adaptive forecasting models.

  • Instrumental Thin-Layer Chromatography

    • 2nd Edition
    • Colin Poole
    • English
    Instrumental Thin-Layer Chromatography, Second Edition offers a comprehensive source of authoritative information on all aspects of instrumental thin-layer chromatography. The use of short, topic-focused chapters facilitates identifying information of immediate interest for familiar or emerging uses of thin-layer chromatography. The book gives those working in both academia and industry the opportunity to learn, refresh, or deepen their understanding of fundamental and instrumental aspects of thin-layer chromatography, as well as the tools to interpret and manage chromatographic data. The book serves as a practical consolidated guide to the selection of separation conditions and the use of auxiliary techniques. This fully updated new edition restores the contemporary character of the book for those involved in advancing the technology, analyzing data produced, or applying the technique to new application areas. Some chapters have been consolidated to make room for topics not covered in the first edition, reflecting general changes in the field of thin-layer chromatography, especially in effects-directed detection, convenient interfaces for advanced spectroscopic detection, and greater automation possibilities. This book is a valuable reference for anyone who needs to acquire fundamental and practical information to facilitate progress in research and management functions utilizing information acquired by thin-layer chromatography.

    • English
    Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Methods for Producing Smart Packaging covers the latest advances in the development and production of smart packaging. The book addresses issues related to the production of smart packaging, including marketing and environmental impacts of these new products. The book demonstrates how modern packaging goes beyond protecting food against physical, chemical, and biological damage, and that scientific advances now enable producing functional packaging that prolongs product quality, preserves physical and chemical properties, produces greater protection against transportation shocks, and makes food more compact and easily recycled.

  • Fluid–Solid Interactions in Upstream Oil and Gas Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 78
    • Ibnelwaleed A. Hussein + 1 more
    • English
    Fluid-Solid Interactions in Upstream Oil and Gas Applications, Volume 78 delivers comprehensive understanding of fluid-rock interactions in oil and gas reservoirs and their impact on drilling, production, and reservoir hydrocarbon management. The book is arranged based on intervals of the oil and gas production process and introduces the basics of reservoir fluids and their properties, along with the rheological behavior of solid-fluid systems across all stages of the reservoir, including drilling processes, acidizing, and fracking. The reference then addresses different application-specific issues, such as solid-fluid interactions in tight reservoirs, the applications of nanoparticles, interactions during the EOR processes, and environmental concerns.
