  • Mossbauer Spectroscopy

    Principles and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • A. G. Maddock
    • English
    Mossbauer spectroscopy has proved itself a versatile technique, finding applications in diverse areas of science and industry. Starting from physics and chemistry it spread into biochemistry, mineralogy, biochemistry, corrosion science, geochemistry and archaeology, with applications in industrial and scientific research. The author aims to help advanced university students, professionals and research workers who ask the question "what's in it for us?". After a concise account of experimental techniques, he emphasizes those applications in which there are few, if any, alternative ways of obtaining the same information about electron fields and the nuclei. He explains areas of industrial interest, including the important applications related to tin and iron on which there is much activity in research and development, and interprets the extension of Mossbauer techniques to main group, transitional and other suitable elements. Attention is paid to factors which may lead to misinterpretation of spectra and another chapter covers the complexities of interpreting emission spectra.

  • Flavour Science

    Recent Developments
    • 1st Edition
    • A. J. Taylor + 1 more
    • English
    This volume contains the 86 lectures, posters and workshop presentations made at the 8th Weurman Flavour Research Symposium. These are mainly research papers and are divided into seven subject areas reflecting the major divisions of flavour science.

  • Food Colloids

    Proteins, Lipids and Polysaccharides
    • 1st Edition
    • E. Dickinson + 1 more
    • English
    The field of food colloids is concerned with the structural and dynamic aspects of multi-phase food systems - dispersions, emulsions, foams, gels - viewed from a physical chemistry perspective as assemblies of molecules and particles in various states of organisation. The main molecular components of food colloids are proteins, lipids and polysaccharides. The primary objective of the field is to relate the structural, stability and rheological properties of such systems to the interactions between constituent components and to their distribution between the bulk phases and various kinds of interfaces. This volume records most of the lecture programme at the international conference on "Food Colloids - Proteins, Lipids and Polysaccharides" held in Sweden on 24-26th April 1996.

  • Humic Substances, Peats and Sludges

    Health and Environmental Aspects
    • 1st Edition
    • M H B Hayes + 1 more
    • English
    Based on the contributions given at a leading international conference, this volume concentrates on developments in the environmentally-frie... disposal of sludges and on the reawakened interest in composting which has emerged as a result of significant European directives.

  • Introduction to the Non-Destructive Testing of Welded Joints

    • 2nd Edition
    • R. Halmshaw
    • English
    This second edition builds on the success of the first and covers the widespread introduction of computer technology, particularly the digitisation of data into the many branches of NDT. It surveys the new European (CEN) Standards and provisional CEN Standards on NDT, many of which are replacing British Standards. New NDT techniques not included in the first edition are also included.

  • Managing Banking Relationships

    • 1st Edition
    • Gerald Leahy
    • English
    Managing Banking Relationships is the first publication to look at the principles and practice governing relationships between businesses and their bankers. This book examines the services provided by banks to their corporate clients, and looks at the establishment, maintenance, review and, if necessary, termination of the resulting relationships.Managi... Banking Relationships shows how to build and maintain effective modern banking relationships which are based on flexability, mutual interest and trust. It presents the key aspects to good relationships that are profitable to both sides and also illustrates how to select a bank and review the subsequent relationship.With contributions from leading figures from the banking and corporate treasury community this book is invaluable to corporate treasurers, finance directors, bankers and the financial advisory community.

  • Flavours and Fragrances

    • 1st Edition
    • A D Swift
    • English
    This is a compilation of papers presented at the 1997 Flavours and Fragrances conference. The subject matter is intentionally broad, covering areas such as chemoreception, analytical techniques, essential oils and the synthesis of flavour and fragrance materials in the laboratory.

  • Fatigue Design of Welded Joints and Components

    Recommendations of IIW Joint Working Group XIII - XV
    • 1st Edition
    • A Hobbacher
    • English
    These recommendations present general methods for the assessment of fatigue damage in welded components, which may affect the limit states of a structure, such as ultimate limit state and serviceability limited state. Fatigue resistance data is given for welded components made of wrought or extruded products of ferritic/pearlitic or banitic structural steels up to fy = 700 Mpa and of aluminium alloys commonly used for welded structures.

  • Heat Treatment of Welded Steel Structures

    • 1st Edition
    • D Croft
    • English
    An updated, revised and expanded version of Professor Burdekin's earlier work of the same title, this book explains this branch of thermal engineering in clear, practical terms. It concentrates on steels - the most predominant engineering media - and is essential reading for all those involved in the study or practice of welding high performance steel structures.

  • Short Fibre-Polymer Composites

    • 1st Edition
    • S K De + 1 more
    • English
    Provides a detailed insight into short fibres of different types (metallic and organic) in a polymer matrix, as well as reporting on the design considerations and applications of such composites. It relates unparalleled research into a diverse range of composites.
