  • Analytical Modelling of Fuel Cells

    • 1st Edition
    • Andrei A. Kulikovsky
    • English
    In fuel cell research, the gap between fundamental electrochemical processes and the engineering of fuel cell systems is bridged by the physical modelling of fuel cells. This relatively new discipline aims to understand the basic transport and kinetic phenomena in a real cell and stack environment, paving the way for improved design and performance. The author brings his unique approach to the analytical modeling of fuel cells to this essential reference for energy technologists.

  • Scientific Bases for the Preparation of Heterogeneous Catalysts

    Proceedings of the 10th International Symposium, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, July 11-15, 2010
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 175
    • E. Gaigneaux + 5 more
    • English
    These meetings, held every four years, bring together researchers from academia and industry and offer a forum for discussions on the chemistry involved in the preparation of industrial heterogeneous catalysts. Contributions focus on the aspects of catalyst preparation. Reports on physico-chemical characteristics of catalysts and catalytic performances are limited to correlations with the preparation parameters.

  • Neurología Pediátrica Clínica

    • 6th Edition
    • Gerald Fenichel
    • Spanish
    Nueva edición de la obra de referencia en la especialidad desde hace 25 años gracias a su abordaje integral basado en los signos y síntomas y organizado por sistemas. Obra práctica que con un simple "vistazo" de los síntomas del paciente, guía paso a paso hacia un correcto diagnóstico y tratamiento, totalmente atualizado. Incluye acceso al recurso online Expert Consult, que ofrece el contenido del libro original en inglés, búsquedas y links a PubMed.

  • Quantum Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostics of Human Brain Disorders

    • 1st Edition
    • Madan M Kaila + 1 more
    • English
    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize detailed internal structure of the body. This book discusses the recent developments in the field of MRI and its application to the diagnosis of human brain disorders. In addition, it reviews the newly emerging concepts and technology, based on the multi-coherence imaging (MQCI). It explains how computer packages can be used to generate images in diseased states and compare them to in vivo results. This will help improve the diagnosis of brain disorders based on the real-time events happening on atomic and molecular quantum levels. This is important since quantum-based MRI would enable clinicians to detect brain tumors at the very early stages.

  • Enzyme Kinetics: Catalysis and Control

    A Reference of Theory and Best-Practice Methods
    • 1st Edition
    • Daniel L. Purich
    • English
    Far more than a comprehensive treatise on initial-rate and fast-reaction kinetics, this one-of-a-kind desk reference places enzyme science in the fuller context of the organic, inorganic, and physical chemical processes occurring within enzyme active sites. Drawing on 2600 references, Enzyme Kinetics: Catalysis & Control develops all the kinetic tools needed to define enzyme catalysis, spanning the entire spectrum (from the basics of chemical kinetics and practical advice on rate measurement, to the very latest work on single-molecule kinetics and mechanoenzyme force generation), while also focusing on the persuasive power of kinetic isotope effects, the design of high-potency drugs, and the behavior of regulatory enzymes.

  • Advances in Molecular Toxicology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 4
    • English
    Advances in Molecular Toxicology features the latest advances in all of the subspecialties of the broad area of molecular toxicology. Toxicology is the study of poisons, and this series details the study of the molecular basis by which a vast array of agents encountered in the human environment and produced by the human body itself manifest themselves as toxins. Not strictly limited to documenting these examples, the series is also concerned with the complex web of chemical and biological events that give rise to toxin-induced symptoms and disease. The new technologies that are being harnessed to analyze and understand these events will also be reviewed by leading workers in the field. Advances in Molecular Toxicology will report progress in all aspects of these rapidly evolving molecular aspects of toxicology with a view toward detailed elucidation of both progress on the molecular level and on advances in technological approaches employed.

  • Trap Level Spectroscopy in Amorphous Semiconductors

    • 1st Edition
    • Victor V. Mikla + 1 more
    • English
    Although amorphous semiconductors have been studied for over four decades, many of their properties are not fully understood. This book discusses not only the most common spectroscopic techniques but also describes their advantages and disadvantages.

  • Handbook of Spent Hydroprocessing Catalysts

    Regeneration, Rejuvenation, Reclamation, Environment and Safety
    • 1st Edition
    • Meena Marafi + 2 more
    • English
    This handbook serves scientists and researchers interested in any aspect of spent hydroprocessing catalysts. Its aim is to assist in the analysis and assessment of refined catalyst byproducts and processing options, to determine whether spent catalysts can be processed into productive resources. For non-regenerable spent catalysts, the book takes into consideration both safety and ecological implications of utilizing landfill and other waste options.

  • 20th European Symposium of Computer Aided Process Engineering

    ESCAPE-20
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 28
    • Sauro Pierucci + 1 more
    • English
    ESCAPE-20 is the most recent in a series of conferences that serves as a forum for engineers, scientists, researchers, managers and students from academia and industry to present and discuss progress being made in the area of "Computer Aided Process Engineering" (CAPE). CAPE covers computer-aided methods, algorithms and techniques related to process and product engineering. The ESCAPE-20 scientific program reflects the strategic objectives of the CAPE Working Party: to check the status of historically consolidated topics by means of their industrial application and to evaluate their emerging issues.

    • 1st Edition
    • Istvan Berczi
    • English
    New Insights to Neuroimmune Biology investigates the mechanisms that and functions of the Neuroimmune Regulatory Supersystem. Covering molecular regulation of cytokines in brain astrocytes, immunoregulation by the sympathetic nervous system, circadian regulation of immune reactions, antigen recognition by the CNS, the modulation of the immune response by head injury, neurogenic inflammation, the role of tachykinins in asthma and allergic disease, defence and defeat reactions, cytokines, behavior and affective disorders, increased activity of type 1 helper T cell functions after reward stimulation.This book has relevance to the entire scientific community in Biology, Medicine and Veterinary medicine as it discusses molecular, cellular, organic and systemic aspects as well as the physological, pathophysiological and behavioral mechnisms which are involved in Neuroimmiune Biology.
