  • Over the Counter Pharmaceutical Formulations

    • 1st Edition
    • David D. Braun
    • English
    This book presents formulations for over-the-counter (OTC) or nonprescription drugs. The OTC drug formulations in this book are organized according to their therapeutic effect. There are 19 categories of OTC drugs included. Each category is presented in a single chapter that consists of two parts; Part I presents the composition of brand name products, and Part II presents starting or prototype formulations contributed by suppliers of raw materials for OTC drugs. The brand name products are listed alphabetically in Part I of each chapter, followed by the name of the manufacturer, the type and concentration of the active ingredient(s) and the product form(s). It is also customary, but not required, for the manufacturer to list the so-called ""inactive ingredients"" on the label of the product.Part II of each chapter (except chapter 17) includes starting formulations developed by a number of raw material suppliers. Those formulations that are included contain not only the concentration of the active ingredients but also the concentration of the other ingredients and, in most cases, a recommended procedure for mixing the formulation. This book includes 559 brand name formulations of 63 manufacturers and 270 suppliers' suggested formulations for a total of 829 formulations.

  • Advanced Cleaning Product Formulations, Vol. 2

    • 1st Edition
    • Ernest W. Flick
    • English
    This book (Volume 2) presents several hundred advanced cleaning product formulations for household, industrial and automotive applications. All formulations are completely different from those in other volumes, so there is no repetition between volumes.

  • Advances in Chemical Engineering

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 19
    • James Wei
    • English
    Advances in Chemical Engineering, Volume 19 reflects the major impact of chemical engineering on medical practice, with chapters covering polymer systems for controlled release, receptor binding and signaling,and transport phenomena in tumors. Other key topics include oil refining, pollution prevention in engineering design, and atmospheric dynamics.

  • Advances in Catalysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40
    • English
    Since 1948, this serial has sought to fill the gap between the papers that report and the textbooks that teach in the diverse areas of catalysis research. The editors of and contributors to Advances in Catalysis are dedicated to recording progress in this area. Each volume of Advances in Catalysis contains articles covering a subject of broad interest.

  • Advances in Heat Transfer

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 25
    • English
    Advances in Heat Transfer is designed to fill the information gap between regularly scheduled journals and university level textbooks by providing in-depth review articles over a broader scope than is allowablein either journals or texts.

  • Acid-Base Catalysis II

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 90
    • H. Hattori + 2 more
    • English
    Solid acid catalysts are already being used in various processes in petroleum refining and are presently being studied intensively in both academic and applied fields for usage in a variety of reactions. Solid base catalysts are also gaining increasing recognition as potential catalysts. Both acidic and basic catalysts are promising not only with respect to acid and base-catalyzed reactions but also in materials sciences, such as the production of adsorbents, sensors, ceramics, etc.The present volume presents the text of 21 invited oral presentations and 58 poster presentations. The material covers a wide range of aspects on acid-base catalysis, from quantum chemistry to industrialized processes.

  • Handbook of Viscosity: Volume 1

    Organic Compounds C1 to C4
    • 1st Edition
    • Carl L. Yaws
    • English
    This series provides engineers with liquid and gas viscosities for the major organic compounds as a function of temperature. The graphs are arranged by chemical formula to provide ease of use; many of them cover the full range from melting point to boiling point to critical point. Common units are used, but each graph displays a conversion factor to provide English units.

  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 61
    • English
    Established in 1960, Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry is the definitive serial in the area-one of great importance to organic chemists, polymer chemists, and most biological scientists. Every fifth volume ofAdvances in Heterocyclic Chemistry contains a cumulative subject index.

  • Oscillating Heterogeneous Catalytic Systems

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 86
    • M.M. Slin'ko + 1 more
    • English
    The aim of this volume is to present the state-of-the-art in experimental and theoretical investigation of oscillating heterogeneous catalytic systems after over 20 years of intense research in the field. The authors demonstrate how the application of modern experimental techniques and the analysis and modelling of self-sustained oscillations and spatial patterns have provided and will continue to provide new and deep insights into the mechanisms of heterogeneous catalytic reactions. The book will acquaint the reader with mathematical concepts, methods and tools needed for the analysis and the interpretation of the observed complex phenomena which in turn have much in common with dynamical systems studied in related fields such as technology, physics and biology.

  • Characterization of Porous Solids III

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 87
    • F. Rodríguez-Reinoso + 3 more
    • English
    The objectives of the Third IUPAC Symposium on the Characterization of Porous Solids (COPS-III) were (1) to provide the opportunity for specialists to exchange ideas and new information on theoretical principles and methodology and (2) to generate proposals for the comparison and utilization of the many techniques now available for the characterization of porous solids. A successful outcome of the Symposium has been the final report of the IUPAC Subcommittee on Recommendations for the Characterization of Porous Solids, a summary of which is given in these proceedings. The edited papers included in the present volume have been selected from the 155 oral and poster presentations given at this symposium, which attracted 200 participants from 28 different countries. The following topics were discussed:1. Simulation and modelling of pore structures and pore-filling mechanisms2. Novel experimental techniques with particular reference to high-resolution techniques3. Model pore structures and reference materials4. Porous materials of technological importance.The wide range of materials and techniques described provide a useful and comprehensive reference source for academic and industrial scientists and technologists.
