  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 68
    • English
    The first chapter in this volume, by E.S.H. El-Ashry, represents the second part of a trilogy on nucleosides he began in Volume 67. This chapter deals with diseco-nucleosides, or analogs of nucleosides in which thereare two bond disconnections. Other chapters deal with the importance of cyclic sulfates as intermediates in organic synthesis, methlypyridines and other methylazines as precursors to biand polyheterocycles, and the variety of heterocycles in nucleoside analogs in heteromonocyclic bases.

  • Inorganic Chemistry

    An Industrial and Environmental Perspective
    • 1st Edition
    • Thomas W. Swaddle
    • English
    This book addresses the question, What is inorganic chemistry good for? rather than the more traditional question, How can we develop a theoretical basis for inorganic chemistry from sophisticated theories of bonding? The book prepares students of science or engineering for entry into the multi-billion-dollar inorganic chemical and related industries, and for rational approaches to environmental problems such as pollution abatement, corrosion control, and water treatment. A much expanded and updated revision of the 1990 text, Applied Inorganic Chemistry (University of Calgary Press), Inorganic Chemistry covers topics including atmospheric pollution and its abatement, water conditioning, fertilizers, cement chemistry, extractive metallurgy, metallic corrosion, catalysts, fuel cells and advanced batter technology, pulp and paper production, explosives, supercritical fluids, sol-gel science, materials for electronics, and superconductors. Though the book waswritten as a textbook for undergraduates with a background of freshman chemistry, it will also be a valuable sourcebook for practicing chemists, engineers, environmental scientists, geologists, and educators.

  • Handbook of Chemical Compound Data for Process Safety

    • 1st Edition
    • Carl L. Yaws
    • English
    This book provides comprehensive safety and health-related data for hydrocarbons and organic chemicals as well as selected data for inorganic chemicals.

  • Instrumental Methods in Food Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 18
    • J.R.J. Paré + 1 more
    • English
    Instrumental Methods in Food Analysis is aimed at graduate students in the science, technology and engineering of food and nutrition who have completed an advanced course in food analysis. The book is designed to fit in with one or more such courses, as it covers the whole range of methods applied to food analysis, including chromatographic techniques (HPLC and GC), spectroscopic techniques (AA and ICP), electroanalytical and electrophoresis techniques.No analysis can be made without appropriate sample preparation and in view of the present economic climate, the search for new ways to prepare samples is becoming increasingly important. Guided by the need for environmentally-frie... technologies, the editors chose two, relatively new techniques, the microwave-assisted processes (MAPTM (Chapter 10) and supercritical fluid extraction (Chapter 11).Features of this book:- is one the few academic books on food analysis specifically designed for a one semester or one year course-it contains updated information- the coverage gives a good balance between theory, and applications of techniques to various food commodities.The chapters are divided into two distinct sections: the first is a description of the basic theory regarding the technique and the second is dedicated to a description of examples to which the reader can relate in his/her daily work.

  • Fuzzy Logic in Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Dennis H. Rouvray
    • English
    Fuzzy Logic has gained increasing acceptance as a way to deal with complexity and uncertainty in many areas of science and engineering. This book is the first to address its practical applications to chemical systems. Ten distinguished authors discuss the role of fuzzy logic in the characterization of a variety of chemical concepts, including chirality, quantum systems, molecular engineering and design, and hierarchical classification methods. Fuzzy Logic in Chemistry will appeal to both students and professionals who are seeking to learn more about theory and applications in an area of growing importance to the physical sciences.

  • Advances in Atomic Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • J. Sneddon
    • English
    This series describes selected advances in the area of atomic spectroscopy. It is primarily intended for the reader who has a background in atmoic spectroscopy; suitable to the novice and expert. Although a widely used and accepted method for metal and non-metal analysis in a variety of complex samples, Advances in Atomic Spectroscopy covers a wide range of materials. Each Chapter will completely cover an area of atomic spectroscopy where rapid development has occurred.

  • Advances in Cycloaddition

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 4
    • Michael Harmata
    • English
    This is the fourth volume in the series, aimed at those wishing to stay abreast of developments in the mechanisms and synthetic applications of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions.

  • Advances in Macromolecular Carbohydrate Research

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 1
    • R.J. Sturgeon
    • English
    In recent years the most significant advances in carbohydrate research have been made in the knowledge of the structure and function of carbohydrates in the macromolecular state. This title addresses those areas of the subject in which the authors believe the most important work is being carried out.

  • Advances in Molecular Structure Research

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 3
    • English

  • Advances in Quantum Chemistry

    Recent Advances in Computational Quantum Chemistry
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 28
    • Per-Olov Lowdin
    • English
    Advances in Quantum Chemistry publishes surveys of current developments in the rapidly developing field of quantum chemistry--a field that falls between the historically established areas of mathematics, physics,chemistry, and biology. With invited reviews written by leading international researchers, each presenting new results, this quality serial provides a single vehicle for following progress in this interdisciplinary area. "Volume 28 collects papers written in honor of Geerd H.F. Diercksen. Diercksen is a pioneer in the field of quantum mechanics whose research includes studies of the structure and stability of hydrogen-bonded and Van der Waals dimers and small clusters, thevibrational and rotational spectra of diatomic and triatomic molecules, on static electric properties in solutions and of molecules absorbed on surfaces. His results are essential in molecular and atomic physics, in astrophysics, and in biochemistry.
