The Little Adsorption Book A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists

The Little Adsorption Book A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists

This unique approach to the basic concepts of adsorption is written for students engineers scientists and others who need a clear presentation of adsorption processes. Unlike other texts on this subject which are written for the specialist and rely heavily on advanced mathematics this unique book helps you solve everyday problems in applications of adsorption without complex mathematics or computers. The author a recognized expert in the field gives you a quick introduction to the underlying physics of absorption and explains how to apply adsorption to solve analytical and design problems. Rich with practical examples and enhanced by illustrations that support the text this refreshingly straightforward presentation helps you cut through the complexities of adsorption to find fast answers to pressing real-world questions. | The Little Adsorption Book A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists

Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

A good portion of this book has been devoted to the copper-dependent enzymes these being the more numerous. The chapter dealing with serum amine oxidases also focuses attention on their catalytic mechanism as these enzymes have been studied in greater depth. As the presentation of topics whose experimental basis is rapidly developing is likely to stimulate the reader‘s interest many bibliographic references have been included. Readers could find this book poor as far as many topics are dealt with in a relatively little space but we believe it essential to trace the background of our present knowledge in the field of amine oxidases stressing the future outlook of research on these enzymes for they are becoming more and more important in general and medical biochemistry. | Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

Discovering Group Theory A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

Discovering Group Theory A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

Discovering Group Theory: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics presents the usual material that is found in a first course on groups and then does a bit more. The book is intended for students who find the kind of reasoning in abstract mathematics courses unfamiliar and need extra support in this transition to advanced mathematics. The book gives a number of examples of groups and subgroups including permutation groups dihedral groups and groups of integer residue classes. The book goes on to study cosets and finishes with the first isomorphism theorem. Very little is assumed as background knowledge on the part of the reader. Some facility in algebraic manipulation is required and a working knowledge of some of the properties of integers such as knowing how to factorize integers into prime factors. The book aims to help students with the transition from concrete to abstract mathematical thinking. | Discovering Group Theory A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

Polymer Characterization Physical Techniques 2nd Edition

Polymer Characterization Physical Techniques 2nd Edition

Discerning the properties of polymers and polymer-based materials requires a good understanding of characterization. This revised and updated text provides a comprehensive survey of characterization methods within its simple concise chapters. Polymer Characterization: Physical Techniques provides an overview of a wide variety of characterization methods which makes it an excellent textbook and reference. It starts with a description of basic polymer science providing a solid foundation from which to understand the key physical characterization techniques. The authors explain physical principles without heavy theory and give special emphasis to the application of the techniques to polymers with plenty of illustrations. Topics covered include molecular weight determination molecular and structural characterization by spectroscopic techniques morphology and structural characterization by microscopy and diffraction and thermal analysis. This edition contains a new chapter on surface analysis as well as some revised problems and solutions. The concise treatment of each topic offers even those with little prior knowledge of the subject an accessible source to relevant simple descriptions in a well-organized format. | Polymer Characterization Physical Techniques 2nd Edition

Practical Rock Mechanics

Practical Rock Mechanics

An Ideal Source for Geologists and Others with Little Background in Engineering or Mechanics Practical Rock Mechanics provides an introduction for graduate students as well as a reference guide for practicing engineering geologists and geotechnical engineers. The book considers fundamental geological processes that give rise to the nature of rock masses and control their mechanical behavior. Stresses in the earth‘s crust are discussed and methods of measurement and prediction explained. Ways to investigate describe test and characterize rocks in the laboratory and at project scale are reviewed. The application of rock mechanics principles to the design of engineering structures including tunnels foundations and slopes is addressed. The book is illustrated throughout with simple figures and photographs and important concepts are illustrated by modern case examples. Mathematical equations are kept to the minimum necessary and are explained fully the book leans towards practice rather than theory. This text: Addresses the principles of rock mechanics as it applies to both structural geology and engineering practice Demonstrates the importance of and methods of geological characterisation to rock engineering Examines the standard methods of rock mechanics testing and measurement as well as interpretation of data in practice Explains connections between main parameters both empirically as well as on the basis of scientific theory Provides examples of the practice of rock mechanics to major engineering projects Practical Rock Mechanics teaches from first principles and aids readers understanding of the concepts of stress and stress transformation and the practical application of rock mechanics theory. This text can help ensure that ground models and designs are correct

Human Factors in Lighting

Human Factors in Lighting

The availability of electric lighting has changed the lives of people the world over yet as a major user of electricity it has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This scrutiny has focused largely on the environmental consequences with little consideration of the benefits of lighting. Human Factors in Lighting Third Edition restores some balance to the discussion by examining the ways in which people interact with lighting. These interactions influence the ability to perform visual tasks; the perception of people objects and spaces; human comfort and behavior; as well as human health and safety. It is only by understanding how to use light to achieve these ends that lighting can be provided effectively and efficiently to the benefit of all. See What‘s New in the Third Edition: New chapters on the non-image-forming system lighting for pedestrians light pollution and lighting and electricity use Revision of all other chapters to update them to take into account the advances that have been made in our understanding of the effects of light on people over the last decade Integration of the combined effects of light via the visual and non-image-forming systems on performance and perception The book covers both the visual and the non-visual effects of light on people as well as the benefits of lighting and the costs it imposes on the environment. It details the consequences of exposure to lighting or lighting technology and the role of exposure to light on such basic functions of the body as circadian rhythms. The author combines information from many different sources and integrates them into a coherent overview of lighting practice that can be used to develop better lighting solutions at a lower environmental cost.
