  • Advanced Techniques in Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS-MS and GC-TOF-MS) for Environmental Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 61
    • English
    Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) has been the technique of choice of analytical scientists for many years. The latest developments in instrumentation, including tandem mass spectrometry (MS-MS) and time-of-flight (TOF) detectors, have opened up and broadened the scope of environmental analytical chemistry. This book summarizes the major advances and relevant applications of GC-MS techniques over the last 10 years, with chapters by leading authors in the field of environmental chemistry. The authors are drawn from academia, industry and government. The book is organized in three main parts. Part I covers applications of basic GC-MS to solve environmental-relate... problems. Part II focuses on GC-MS-MS instrumentation for the analyses of a broad range of analysis in environmental samples (pesticides, persistent organic pollutants, endocrine disruptors, etc.). Part III covers the use of more advanced GC-MS techniques using low- and high-resolution mass spectrometry for many applications related to the environment, food and industry.

    • English
    Advanced Materials '93, IIA: Biomaterials, Organic and Intelligent Materials contains the proceedings of the Third International Union of Materials Research Societies International Conference on Advanced Materials held in Tokyo, Japan, from August 31 to September 4, 1993. The conference provided a forum for reviewing the state of the art in advanced materials such as biomaterials and organic and intelligent materials. Topics covered range from catalytic materials and ordered polymers to biosensors and photo- and electro-responsive materials. The construction and functions of organic thin films are also discussed. Comprised of 154 chapters, this volume first examines the in vitro interaction of carcinostatic substances adsorbed on hydroxyapatite microcrystals with cells derived from cancers. The reader is then introduced to hydrothermal synthesis of plate-like hydroxyapatite crystals; biocompatibility and mechanical properties of all-ceramic crowns; and catalytic activity of zeolite-supported noble metals for hydrodesulfurization of thiophene. Subsequent chapters focus on the functionalization of propane by the catalytic oxidation process; block copolymers synthesized by free radical polymerization; mechanical properties of polyvinyl acetate incorporated with silica-gel by sol-gel process; and alignment of liquid crystal molecules using chemically adsorbed monolayers. This book will appeal to practitioners and researchers in the fields of materials science and biotechnology.

    • English
    Physics 1942 – 1962 presents Nobel Lectures on physics from 1942 to 1962. This book is 20 chapters that cover various Nobel physics subjects. The opening chapters deal with the topics of molecular ray methods, exclusion principle, quantum mechanics, the ionosphere, development of the Meson theory, interaction between high-speed nucleons and atomic nuclei, and the artificial production of fast particles. Other chapters discuss the principle of nuclear induction, research in nuclear magnetism, the discovery of phase contrast, statistical interpretation of quantum mechanics, the hydrogen atom structure, and the magnetic moment of the electron. The final chapters explore the semiconductor and transistor technology, laws of parity conservation, particle radiation, optics of light sources, the early antiprotron studies, elementary particles, bubble chamber, nucleus structure evaluation using the electron-scattering method, and the gamma radiation. This book is directed toward physicists.

  • Physics, 1963-1970

    • 1st Edition
    • Sam Stuart
    • English
    Physics: 1963-1970 focuses on the history, developments, and trends in physics, including the applications of lasers, semiconductors, and electrodynamics. The book first offers information on events, laws of nature, and invariance principles and the shell model. Topics include magic numbers, atomic analogue, individual orbits in the nucleus, and the use of invariance principles and approximate invariances. The text also ponders on the production of coherent radiation by atoms and molecules, including basic maser principles, maser clocks and amplifiers, and application of lasers. The publication takes a look at semiconductor lasers and development of quantum electrodynamics. Discussions focus on methods of obtaining states with negative temperature in semiconductors; conditions for the production of negative temperature in semiconductors; and semiconductor lasers. The text also examines the optical methods for studying Hertzian resonances, energy production in stars, and developments in particle physics. The manuscript is a dependable reference for readers interested in the history, developments, and trends in physics.

  • Mathematical Aspects of Seismology

    • 1st Edition
    • Markus BÃ¥th
    • English
    Developments in Solid Earth Geophysics, 4: Mathematical Aspects of Seismology introduces studies of the more advanced parts of theoretical seismology. The manuscript first ponders on contour integration and conformal transformation, methods of stationary phase and steepest descent, and series integration. Discussions focus on Love waves in heterogeneous isotropic media, Laguerre's differential equation, Hermite's differential equation, method of steepest descent, method of stationary phase, contour integration in the complex plane, and conformal transformation. The text then examines series integration, Bessel functions, Legendre functions, and wave equations. Topics include general considerations of the wave equation, expansion of a spherical wave into plane waves, common features of special functions and special differential equations, applications of Legendre functions, Legendre polynomials, Bessel's differential equation, and properties of Bessel coefficients. The book explores the influence of gravity on wave propagation, matrix calculus, wave propagation in liquid media, integral equations, calculus of variations, and integral transforms. The text is a valuable source of data for researchers wanting to study the mathematical aspects of seismology.
