This book is a concise and up-to-date introduction to the topic of photocatalysis. It covers the fundamentals of photocatalysis, design of photoreactors and modelling and simulations for photoreaction. Also, industrial applications such as hydrogen production, water disinfection, degradation of air pollutants, pesticides and pharmaceuticals are described.

This is a clear and rigorous introduction to PDEs based on the syllabus of a standard one-semester course on the topic. For the sake of concision, the book keeps the amount of applications to real-life problems to a minimum, focusing instead on numerical solutions via modern mathematical software. The result is an agile compendium of theorems and methods - the ideal companion for any student tackling PDEs for the first time.

This book covers C-Programming focussing on its practical side. Volume 1 deals mainly with basic data structures, algorithms and program statements. An extensive use of figures and examples help to give a clear description of concepts help the reader to gain a systematic understanding of the language.

This book covers C-Programming focussing on its practical side. Volume 2 deals mainly with composite data structures and their composition. An extensive use of figures and examples help to give a clear description of concepts and help the reader to gain a systematic understanding of the programming language.

This book is devoted to recent developments of linear and nonlinear integral inequalities on time scales. The book is intended for the use in the field of dynamic calculus on time scales, dynamic equation and integral equations on time scales. It is also suitable for graduate courses in the above fields. The book is designed for those who have mathematical background on time scales calculus.

Global Health ist ein multisektoraler und multidimensionaler Themenkomplex, der sich insbesondere durch den Globalisierungsprozess und die Implementierung der Millennium-Entwicklungsziele der Vereinten Nationen herausgebildet hat. Es geht dabei um die Verbesserung der Gesundheit der gesamten Weltbevölkerung. Dieses große Ziel ist nur durch eine verbesserte, globale Zusammenarbeit innerhalb und zwischen multiplen Sektoren möglich (u.A. Gesundheit, Umwelt, Ernährung, Entwicklung, Wirtschaft usw.). Auch wenn die Gesundheit in diesem Buch im Fokus steht, werden auch diewichtigsten Krankheitsbereiche und die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen dargestellt. Des Weiteren werden verschiedene Gesundheitssysteme, ökonomische und weitere Aspekte zur Planung und Umsetzung von gesundheitsfördernden oder erhaltenden Maßnahmen vorgestellt. Die Führungs- und Steuerungsfunktionen im Bereich der globalen Gesundheit werden auch anhand einiger praktischer Beispiele erläutert (z.B. Tabakrahmenkonvention, Zugang zu HIV/AIDS-Medikamenten). Außerdem werden die Verbindungen zwischen globalen Organisationen, der damit verbundenen internationalen Gesetzgebung und den nationalen und lokalen Strukturen deutlich gemacht. Dieses praktische Lehrbuch und Nachschlagewerk gibt allen Interessierten, nicht nur Studierenden und Aktiven aus dem Gesundheitssektor, einen Einblick in das sich schnell entwickelnde, multidisziplinäre Feld der globalen Gesundheit. Es stellt anschaulich die wesentlichen Grundlagen, Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze heraus und animiert zum Weiterlesen und Weiterdenken.

Nuclear chemistry represents a vital field of basic and applied research. Modern applications cover, for example, fundamental aspects of energetics and high-sensitive, high-selective and non-destructive analytical technologies. Nuclear chemistry and radiopharmaceutical chemistry are increasingly used to bridge pharmaceutical and medical research with state-of-the-art non-invasive molecular diagnosis as well as with patient-individual treatment. This volume I on Introduction to Nuclear Chemistry describes the origin of unstable atoms and their various primary and secondary pathways to stabilize. Volume II illustrates the spectrum of modern applications of nuclear and radiochemistry. In various chapters, the present volume I addresses -the structure of atoms and the nuclei of atoms, -the transformation of unstable nuclei to more stable nucleon configurations,-the mechanisms of the main transformation pathways and their kinetics,-the character of the radiation emitted from these processes,-the interaction of this radiation with condensed matter,-and finally nuclear reaction processes to produce new nuclei.

While volume I on Introduction to Nuclear Chemistrydescribes the origin of unstable atoms and their pathways to stabilize, this volume II illustrates the spectrum of modern applications of nuclear and radiochemistry. In various chapters, leading scientists address-the measurement of radiation,-the dosimetric action of radioactive radiation and radiation safety-nuclear dating-elemental analysis by neutron activation,-radiation mass spectroscopy and chemicals speciation,-radiochemical separations,-applications of radiochemistry to life sciences,-the chemistry of radioelements: Tc and At, actinides and the transactinides-fundamentals of modern nuclear energy.

Suspension Concentrates is a survey into the theory of the formulation and stabilization of suspensions, elaborating on the breaking of aggregates and agglomerates and the role of dispersing agents on flocculation and electrostatic and steric stabilization. Practical analysis by rheology is discussed. Suspension Concentrates is ideal for research scientists and Ph.D. students investigating chemistry, chemical engineering and colloidal science.

This graduate text covers a variety of mathematical and statistical tools for the analysis of big data coming from biology, medicine and economics. Neural networks, Markov chains, tools from statistical physics and wavelet analysis are used to develop efficient computational algorithms, which are then used for the processing of real-life data using Matlab.
