An analysis of copper, silver and gold is also provided, as well as a list of the other chapters of Comprehensive Inorganic Chemistry that may also be of interest to the readers of this volume This book will be of interest to persons dealing with studies on inorganic chemistry, particularly with the elements copper, silver and gold
Electronic Engineering Applications of Two–Port Networks
Applied Electricity and Electronics Division
1st Edition
H. B. Gatland
P. Hammond
English
Electronic Engineering Applications of Two-Port Networks aims to present the method of developing two-port theory to form the basis of a course on linear electronic systems. This book specifically presents topics on small-signal parameters; two-port models; small-signal analysis of the common-emitter amplifier; and general analysis of small-signal amplifier performance. A chapter is devoted to discussing topics on tandem connections of two ports, which is followed by exercises on matrix reduction. This text also tackles basic feedback connections, feedback amplifiers, and feedback oscillators. The application of the feedback systems is then examined. This book concludes by explaining the capacitive effects on transistor performance. This text will be beneficial to students and experts in the field of electronics.
Tables of The Legendre Functions P—½+it(x)
Mathematical Tables Series
1st Edition
M. I. Zhurina + 1 more
English
Tables of the Legendre Functions P–½+iτ (X), Part I tabulates in detail the Legendre spherical functions of the first kind Pv(x) with complex index v = – ½ + iτ and real values of X > – 1. P–½+iτ (X) plays an important role in mathematical physics and are used in solving boundary value problems in potential theory for domains bounded by cones, hyperboloids of revolution, two intersecting spheres, or other second order surfaces. These Legendre functions are also of theoretical interest in connection with the Meler-Fok integral expansion. This book is devoted to the tables of P–½+iτ (X) and coefficients in the asymptotic formula. Some properties of the functions P–½+iτ (X) and description of the tables are also discussed. This publication is a good source for mathematical physicists and students conducting work on Legendre functions P–½+iτ (X).
Progress in Reaction Kinetics
Volume 10
1st Edition
K. R. Jennings + 1 more
English
Progress in Reaction Kinetics, Volume 10 discusses several topics concerning reaction kinetics. The first chapter tackles the dynamics of reactive collisions; this chapter also covers the experimental methods, theoretical methods, atom-molecule reactions, and molecule-molecule reaction. The second chapter discusses reactive, inelastic, and radiative processes involving electronically excited atoms, which include emission process, energy transfer, ionization process, and chemical reaction. The third chapter tackles luminescence kinetics of metal complexes in solution; this chapter includes the theoretical and experimental background, paradigm problem, and ligand-centered luminescent systems. This book will be of great use to researchers whose work involves kinetics research.
Anti-Chance
A Reply to Monod's Chance and Necessity
1st Edition
E. Schoffeniels + 1 more
T Swain
English
Anti-Chance: A Reply to Monod's Chance and Necessity reflects the most fundamental biological facts about human behavior, representing constants that are difficult to modify by religious, moral or social constraints. This book provides a simplistic view which neglects the profound meaning of physico-chemical determinism and most elementary rules of structuration of biological systems. The topics discussed include the probabilities of chance, thermodynamics and biological order, basis for a theoretical biology, and great inventions. The molecular basis of instinct, speech and consciousness, cybernetics and biology, and the structure of chance are also deliberated in this text. This publication is beneficial to students and researchers interested in the analysis of human affairs.

Introductory Titrimetric and Gravimetric Analysis
The Commonwealth and International Library: Chemistry Division
1st Edition
Evelyn M. Rattenbury
English
Introductory Titrimetric and Gravimetric Analysis discusses the different types of titration and the weighing of different solutions in solid form. Coverage is made on acid- base titration, argentometric titrations, and oxidation- reduction titrations. Iodometric titrations and complexometric titrations are also explained. Extensive discussion on each of the titration method, along with some examples and laboratory experiments, is given. The process of weight measurement of damp powder is one example of the experiments. The book is a manual that guides a student to the correct ways of conducting an experiment made on such solutions as sodium hydroxide using hydrochloric acid and oxalic acid. Outcome of such experiments in terms of composition, weight of solutions, and measurement of pressure in certain environment is tabulated and briefly explained. Logarithms and antilogarithms are included at the end of the book. The text will serve as a good laboratory manual for students preparing for science examination as well as for chemists and chemical engineers.

Control of Ovulation
Proceedings of the Conference Held at Endicott House, Dedham, Massachusetts, 1960
1st Edition
Claude A. Villee
English
Control of Ovulation focuses on the process of ovulation. The book first discusses the research on the functions of the pituitary gonadotropins in the induction of ovulation in rats. Summary and conclusions are provided. The text underscores follicular development and ovular maturation and ovulation in ovarian tissues transplanted to the eyes. Morphologic observations; fertility of follicular ova from ovarian transplants; and rate of formation of maturing follicles are described. The selection also explains the functions of steroids in the control of mammalian ovulation; interactions between the central nervous system and hormones triggering ovulation; and the pituitary stalk and ovulation. The text also highlights the interactions between the central nervous system and hormones influencing ovulation. Topics include effects of high dosages of estrogen or testosterone; afterreaction to coitus; effects of new progestogens; and effects of pituitary and placental hormones. The book also takes note of the relationship of the preoptic region of the brain with ovulation. The text also looks at the mechanisms that control the ovulation of avian and mammalian follicles and hormonal augmentation of fertility in cattle and sheep. The selection is a vital source of reference for readers interested to study the process of ovulation.
