This book covers recent developments in synthesis and growth process of 1-D metal oxide nanosturctures with a focus on semi-templated method of oxidation origin.
The goal of this book is to provide an understanding of the latest challenges and issues in 3D integration. The term 3D integration includes a variety of integration methods, such as 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) interposer-based integration, 3D integrated circuits (3D ICs), 3D systems-in-package (SiP), 3D heterogeneous integration, and monolithic 3D ICs.
This book emphasizes various image pre-processing methods which are necessary for early extraction of features from the image, leading to improved detection of local and global features. Different approaches for image enrichments and improvements are included that affect feature analysis, depending on how the procedures are employed. .
Using an interactive workbook approach to introduce the concept in a nonmathematical way, A Practical Approach to Medical Image Processing explains the techniques through worked examples, exercises, and problems and validates each technique with a corresponding case study, which originates from a published journal article. The examples and e
This book covers the active metal brazing process, variables involved and the effects of these variables on wetting, interfacial reaction layer formation and joint strength. It focusses on the alumina/Ag-Cu-Ti system, which is the most commonly used.

The book explains and demonstrates the meaning of CISR® - continual improvement for social responsibility - and illustrates the rigorous six-step SOFAIR methodology with many examples. Based on decades of experience, the book explains how existing organizational continual improvement efforts can be adapted to also focus on sustainability.
First published in 1990, this comprehensive monograph consists of two parts: Volume I, entitled Enzyme Catalysis, Kinetics, and Substrate Binding; and Volume II, entitled Mechanism of Enzyme Action. This particular volume provides important information for both the novice and the seasoned investigator.
This volume provides a comprehensive and practical treatment of such rapidly evolving areas as Fast Ethernet, ATM networks, FDDI networks and many others. It analyzes practical LANs and WANs, and deals with how they interconnect with other networks.
The book focuses on advanced materials for improving membrane performance across water/wastewater treatment, gas separation processes, organic solvent purification, and biomedical. It discusses new materials such as ceramic and ionic liquid membrane development as well as polymeric-based membranes.
Includes developments in two-dimensional gas chromatography, high-performance and reversed phase liquid chromatographies, and supercritical fluid chromatography. This volume also includes topics such as chiral and enantioselective separations, chiral recognition mechanisms, screening approaches, separation speed, and shape selectivity.
This book introduces the technology and current best practices and aims to increase the successful industrial implementation of heat pump- assisted dryers. It enables the reader to engage confidently with the technology and provides a wealth of information on theories, current practices, and future directions of the technology. It emphasizes sev
This book addresses the problem of ageing infrastructure and reduction of service life. Infrastructure needs to be safe and durable, financially and environmentally sustainable over itslifecycle. The book concludes by discussing the key impacting factors and is a resource for academics and practitioners.
Air quality has a direct influence on health, welfare and production performance of livestock as the high concentrations of noxious gases, dust and airborne microorganisms are likely to reduce production efficiency and the general welfare of farm animals. Long term exposure to particulates in livestock buildings might also affect the respiratory health of farm workers. Dust in animal buildings contains many biologically active substances such as bacteria, fungi, endotoxins and residues of antibiotics (as a result of veterinary treatments) that are suspected to be hazardous to human health. Furthermore, air pollutants emitted from livestock buildings can reduce air, water and soil quality and can potentially undermine the health of nearby residents. Airborne emissions

Polysaccharides and related high molecular weight glycans are hugely diverse with wide application in Biotechnology and great opportunities for further exploitation. An Introduction to Polysaccharide Biotechnology - a second edition of the popular original text by Tombs and Harding - introduces students, researchers, clinicians and industrialists to the properties of some of the key materials involved, how these are applied, some of the economic factors concerning their production and how they are characterized for regulatory purposes.
The anaerobic biological treatment of methanol-rich gaseous and liquid effluents was tested in two bioreactor configurations in the presence of sulfur and selenium oxyanions. The volatile fatty acids (VFA) produced in these bioreactors were quantified and a mass balance analysis was carried out.

A comprehensive work in finite-value systems that covers the latest achievements using the semi-tensor product method, on various kinds of finite-value systems. The book contains examples to provide a better understanding of the practical applications of finite-value systems.
Organized for quick and easy access to practical solutions, Analytical and Approximate Methods in Transport Phenomena provides a reference for the day-to-day problems encountered with heat, mass, or momentum transfer. Examining various analytical methods with several examples for each method, every chapter uses a simple three-digit code to d
"Words are our tools, and, as a minimum, we should use clean tools. We should know what we mean and what we do not, and we must forearm ourselves against the traps that language sets us."
-- The Need for Precise Terminology, Austin (1957, 7-8)
It follows that, for effective and efficient communication, people should have, or at least understand, the same precise terminology. Such terminology is crucial for the advancement of basic, theoretical, and applied science, yet too often there is ambiguity between scientific and common definitions and even discrepancies in the scientific literature.
Providing a common ground and platform for precise scientific communication in animal behavior, ecology, evolution, and related branches of biology, Animal Behavior
Covers research, practice and developments in computational mechanics in geotechnical engineering. This book includes geomechanics of excavation and ground reinforcement in excavations, oil exploration and mining, as well as environmental aspects.
This book covers theoretical aspects of adsorption, followed by an introduction to molecular simulations and other numerical techniques that have become extremely useful as an engineering tool in recent times to understand the interplay of different mechanistic steps of adsorption. .
