  • The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Pharmacology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 44
    • English

  • Practical Astronomy

    A User-Friendly Handbook for Skywatchers
    • 1st Edition
    • H R Mills
    • English
    This practical manual provides essential material for the extensive world-wide community of non-professional astronomers. Every page of the book is alive with the infectious enthusiasm of the author whose expertise, knowledge and teaching experience provides easy access to the fascination and enjoyment of sky-watching.

  • Carbon Dioxide Chemistry

    Environmental Issues
    • 1st Edition
    • J P Pradier + 1 more
    • English
    This book derives from a workshop held in Sweden to examine the environmental implications of the dramatic increase in carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in the last 50 years and to find ways of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. This multi-disciplinary approach makes it essential reading not only for chemists but for all engineers, biologists and environmentalists concerned with this crucially important issue.

  • Reactions of Importance in Synthesis

    • 1st Edition
    • James M. Coxon
    • English
    Advances in Detailed Reaction Mechanisms, Volume 3: Reactions of Importance in Synthesis presents the development, discoveries, and understanding of reactions of importance in synthesis. This book discusses the significance of the reaction to organic synthesis. Organized into seven chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the effects of Lewis acids, aldehyde structure, and addition order upon the diastereoselectivity... This text then discusses the origin of the differences in reactivity and energy between the substrate and transition state conformations. Other chapters consider the influence of organometallic chemistry on the development of methodology in organic synthesis. This book discusses as well the diversity of possible facially dissymmetric dienes and dienophiles, which can be persuaded to undergo a Diels–Alder reaction. The final chapter deals with the variety of methods for the construction of carbocyclic rings. This book is a valuable resource for industrial chemists, graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and those teaching specialized topics to graduate students.

  • Analysis and Synthesis Techniques in Complex Control and Dynamic Systems

    Advances in Theory and Applications
    • 1st Edition
    • C. T. Leondes
    • English
    Analysis and Synthesis Techniques in Complex Control and Dynamic Systems presents articles on control and dynamic systems. The book covers articles on FE and BE combined techniques in structural analysis and optimization; simultaneous optimization of structure and robust control; and techniques in reduced-order dynamic compensator design for stability robustness of linear discrete-time systems. The text also includes articles about robust control synthesis via mathematical programming techniques; system parameter estimation from sampled data; and output feedback stabilization of uncertain systems with state delay. The techniques in coupled modal sliding mode control of vibration in flexible structures, as well as the control and dynamics of the deep space network antennas are also emcompassed. Electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, computer engineers, and flight engineers will find the book invaluable.

  • Lanthanides/Actinides: Physics - I

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 17
    • G.R. Choppin + 2 more
    • English
    This volume of the Handbook is the first of a three volume set of reviews devoted to the interrelationships, similarities, differences and contrasts of the lanthanide and actinide series of elements. In order to comprehensively cover this large field two leading scientists, G.H. Lander and G.R. Choppin, were invited to be guest editors for this special set of volumes. Together, the four editors carefully and critically chose the various topics and invited the appropriate experts to write reviews keeping in mind that the emphasis was to be on the interrelationships of the lanthanides and actinides. The volume contains eight chapters concerned with some of the physical aspects of the lanthanide and actinide series. The first three chapters are theoretical in nature and the last five are more heavily oriented towards experimental studies.

  • Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 22
    • English
    Although the official compendia define a drug substance as to identity, purity, strength, and quality, they normally do not provide other physical or chemical data, nor do they list methods of synthesis or pathways of physical or biological degradation and metabolism. Such information is scattered throughout the scientific literature and the files of pharmaceutical laboratories. Analytical Profiles of Drug Substances and Excipients brings this information together into one source. The series has recently been expanded to include profiles of excipient materials.

  • Advances in Heterocyclic Chemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 58
    • English

  • Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 27
    • English

  • Polymer Syntheses

    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 2
    • Stanley R. Sandler + 1 more
    • English
    This revised and updated Second Edition of Polymer Synthesis II continues in the tradition of Volume I in presenting detailed laboratory instructions for the preparation of various polymers. Each chapter is organized by functional groups, and each chapter not only presents preparative methods, but also includes a brief introductory summary, reviews of the very latest journal articles and patents, and safety hazards and precautions. Procedures have been chosen on the basis of safety considerations and ease of being carried out with standard laboratory equipment. This comprehensive treatment of each polymer group makes Polymer Synthesis II an indispensable guide for industrial and academic chemists as well as for students in the field.
