  • Advances in Inorganic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 40
    • English
  • Advances in Physical Organic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 29
    • English
    In pursuit of the objective of the series which is to present considered reviews of areas concerned with quantitative study of organic compounds and their behaviourNphysical organic chemistry in its broadest senseNina manner accessible to a general readership, this twenty-ninth volume contains five contributions on a diversity of topics. Two of these reflect the increasing importance of physical organic studies in providing fundamental knowledge relevant to the development of new materials with novel physical properties. The others represent more traditional areas of physical organic interest, where recent research has thrown new light.
  • Analysis and Synthesis Techniques in Complex Control and Dynamic Systems

    Advances in Theory and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • C. T. Leondes
    • English
    Analysis and Synthesis Techniques in Complex Control and Dynamic Systems presents articles on control and dynamic systems. The book covers articles on FE and BE combined techniques in structural analysis and optimization; simultaneous optimization of structure and robust control; and techniques in reduced-order dynamic compensator design for stability robustness of linear discrete-time systems. The text also includes articles about robust control synthesis via mathematical programming techniques; system parameter estimation from sampled data; and output feedback stabilization of uncertain systems with state delay. The techniques in coupled modal sliding mode control of vibration in flexible structures, as well as the control and dynamics of the deep space network antennas are also emcompassed. Electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, computer engineers, and flight engineers will find the book invaluable.
  • Practical Astronomy

    A User-Friendly Handbook for Skywatchers
    • 1st Edition
    • H R Mills
    • English
    This practical manual provides essential material for the extensive world-wide community of non-professional astronomers. Every page of the book is alive with the infectious enthusiasm of the author whose expertise, knowledge and teaching experience provides easy access to the fascination and enjoyment of sky-watching.
  • Carbon Dioxide Chemistry

    Environmental Issues
    • 1st Edition
    • J P Pradier + 1 more
    • English
    This book derives from a workshop held in Sweden to examine the environmental implications of the dramatic increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in the last 50 years and to find ways of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This multi-disciplinary approach makes it essential reading not only for chemists but for all engineers, biologists and environmentalists concerned with this crucially important issue.
  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 58
    • English
  • Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 22
    • English
    Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients brings this information together into one source. The series has recently been expanded to include profiles of excipient materials.
  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27
    • English
  • Polymer Syntheses

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 2
    • Stanley R. Sandler + 1 more
    • English
    This revised and updated Second Edition of Polymer Synthesis II continues in the tradition of Volume I in presenting detailed laboratory instructions for the preparation of various polymers. Each chapter is organized by functional groups, and each chapter not only presents preparative methods, but also includes a brief introductory summary, reviews of the very latest journal articles and patents, and safety hazards and precautions. Procedures have been chosen on the basis of safety considerations and ease of being carried out with standard laboratory equipment. This comprehensive treatment of each polymer group makes Polymer Synthesis II an indispensable guide for industrial and academic chemists as well as for students in the field.
