Provides a treatment of NMR techniques and their application to problems of biomedical interest. This book covers refined multidimensional pulse sequences including the basic aspects. It is useful to NMR spectroscopists, biochemists, and to molecular biologists interested in the use of NMR techniques for solving biological problems.

Discusses aspects of textile processing, modification and performance for four major topics: preparation, dyeing and printing, improving functional and aesthetic textile properties, and performance. A progression from the initial purification of textiles to their performance and care is described.

The work is aimed at scientists in universities and in industry using any of the six platinum group metals in research. It will be useful for those studying the compounds of the metals themselves, and those considering to use either the metals or their complexes and catalysts in their experimental work.

Providing an account of developments in phenol chemistry, this book covers numerous phenolic systems. It gives emphasis throughout on synthesis, on what can be achieved by the use of phenolic intermediates and in the construction of phenolic end products.

The Second International Computational Wind Engineering Symposium was held in Colorado, USA and presented papers on the popular application of CFD concepts. These proceedings contain a set of invited papers providing reviews on subjects such as CFD turbulence models, bluff body aerodynamics, terrain aerodynamics and building aerodynamics.

Contains eight essays on various topics in public economics. This handbook begins with an historical perspective on the growth of the area and focuses on the theory and evidence about the impact of taxation on economic behavior. It surveys the field of public economics by those actually doing work on the frontier of the subject.

Rather than describing the various schools of economics or its history, this book aims to present current macroeconomic knowledge, with a few contributions from famous works and authors when absolutely necessary. It is aimed at those with some existing knowledge of the subject.

Many people have discovered diverse manifestations and facets of conceptual flaw, but the central conceptual impasse is at best only partially perceived. This book focuses on a conceptual flaw in contemporary artificial intelligence and cognitive science. It proposes and examines interactivism, an alternative model of representation.

This volume contains articles on recent developments in natural product chemistry. Topics covered include the stereoselective synthesis of bioactive natural products and the applications of NMR and spectrosopy for the elucidation of complex natural products.

A work on LC-MS applications in environmental analysis. It answers such questions as: what interface to use to solve 'my detection problem'; can I obtain enough sensitivity for the confirmation of my compound in real-world environmental samples; and, is there enough structural information.

Analyzing observed or measured data is an important step in applied sciences. This book provides not only definitions and short descriptions, but also offers an overview of the different topics. It gives 1700 entries in alphabetical order grouped into 20 topics and each topic is organized in a hierarchical fashion.

Geology, one of the basic natural sciences, is proving to be of outstanding importance in solving problems relating to protection against natural disasters as well as human health. This book aims to show how the geological environment affects human health and to explore preventative methods for improvement.

Presenting the results of investigations of particular aspects of ion dynamics, this book also discusses solvation in ion-molecule reactions. It also provides information on reaction thermodynamics which determines reaction spontaneity and availability of reaction channels. It also presents studies on the ionization process and its nature.

Focuses on clusters composed primarily of non-metal molecules or atoms which have one or more metal atoms seeded into the cluster as an impurity.

The dynamic business of advertising is quite fascinating as it encompasses an eclectic diversity of fields and activities. This dictionary provides the users with terminology from the various spheres that interact to form the ever-expanding vocabulary of modern advertising: marketing and market research, creativity, media, and typography.

Offers a wide overview of a range of topics for which Iceland provides an almost unparalleled laboratory. This volume focuses on the Quaternary timescale. It explores topics such as subglacial volcanism, onshore and offshore evidence for the Last Glacial Maximum and subsequent deglaciation.

Includes papers presented at the 2nd International Workshop on Oxide-based Systems at the Crossroads of Chemistry, held at Villa Olmo in Como, Italy, 8-11 October. This title presents the highlights of research in the field of oxide structure. It also includes papers which show the mutual roles of experiment and theoretical models.

This book grew out of the conference "Motivational Psychology of Ontogenesis" held at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, Germany, in May 1998. It brings together scholars from three major areas in psychology - developmental, motivational and lifespan.

This book concentrates on industrially relevant reactions which are catalyzed by heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysts. Homogeneous catalysis by metal complexes is treated jointly with heterogeneous catalysis using metallic and non-metallic solids.

Spectroscopic techniques continue to be essential in the understanding of catalyst performance. The chapters in this book describe the use of 27Al, 29Si and 13C NMR to study variation in FCC acidity during aging and coke deposition. In addition, several chapters covers the modeling of FCC deactivation, and contact times on FCC performance.

Well Testing is recognised by many operating oil and gas companies to be the most hazardous operation they routinely undertake. Therefore, it is of great importance that such operations are extremely well planned and executed. This handbook covers the major 'Operational Aspects of Oil and Gas Well Testing'.

Illustrates how shear deformation theories provide accurate solutions compared to the classical theory. This book is divided into two parts. Part 1 consists of Chapters 2 to 5 dealing with beams, and Part 2 consists of Chapters 6 to 13 covering plates. It includes problems at the end of each chapter to use, extend, and develop relationships.

Presents the selected and edited proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Vision in Vehicles (VIV6) which was held at the University of Derby, 13-16 September 1995.

Presents a comprehensive set of definitions of technical terms relating to various facts of the materials aspect of plastics technology. This dictionary features definitions that cover the nature of plastics materials, their composition their properties, their applications, and their handling and behaviour in processing.

Fiber-reinforced plastics are a class of materials in which the basic properties of plastics are given mechanical reinforcement by the addition of fibrous materials. This book provides a compendium of information on various aspects of materials, processes, designs and construction. It is useful for manufacturers, specifiers and designers.

The use of plastics is increasing year on year, and new uses are being found for plastics in many industries. This book presents a chronology of the world of plastics and provides information on the fabrication processes, design considerations and plastics performance, which helps engineers make informed decisions.
