The purpose of this book is to make available to engineers and technologists in developing countries, who wish to develop and/or design manufacturing plants or processes for their indigenous products or Western European lifestyle products, a straightforward, non-intimidating version of modern chemical engineering methods and analyses for chemical process design.

When the Author moved upto Moray 10 years ago he had little idea about the place and has since explored it in various ways from the whiskeys, the salmon in the charasmatic rivers to the rock and sandy coast line, from the low fertile plains to the rugged mountains of the Cairngorms, by foot and bike. Plus its colourful and intriguing history from the picts, Romans, Vikings, tales of smuggling, and folk lore. The route illustrated in this book ...

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geschichte Europa - Deutschland - Nachkriegszeit, Kalter Krieg, Note: 1, 7, Universität Hamburg (Historisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Sowjetische Technikgeschichte , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit soll einen kurzen Überblick über den sowjetischen Agronom Trofim Denissowitsch Lyssenko, sowie über Phänomen des Lyssenkoismus - einerseits als Lyssenkos neolamarckistische Theorie d...

Receptor specific antibodies are excellent probes for a wide range of biological investigations on receptor structure and function. The hybridoma technology (Kohler and Milstein, 1975) has inevitably had a major impact on this field with most of the better known receptors now identified with monoclonal antibodies. This volume of the Receptors and Recognition series provides reviews of recent developments in this field and emphasizes in particu...

This book is made up of 16 papers delivered during the Paediatric Conference convened by the Royal College of Physicians of London on 20th and 21st October 1983. The main intention of the conference was to allow each contributor to deliver a personal review of his own field, indicating recent develop­ ments and current practice. This volume, representing the proceedings of that meeting, is not intended as a comprehensive textbook of paedi­ atr...

A Touchstone title.

In 1978, the European Mechanics Committee and the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique agreed to the organization of an Interna­ tional Colloquium on the "Mechanical Behavior of Anisotropic Solids". The meeting was held at Villard-de-Lans (near Grenoble, France) from 19th to 22 nd June 1979. The Colloquium considered mechanical aspects of the anisotropy of solids, both initial and induced by permanent deformation, anisotropic ha...

Once or twice a decade, an unknown short-story writer blazes onto the literary scene with work that is thrilling and new. Scott Wolven is such a talent, and his raw, blistering tales of hard-bitten convicts, dodgy informers, and men running from the law make for "the most exciting, authentic collection of short stories I have read in years, " says George Pelecanos. Brooding, edgy, and sometimes violent, Controlled Burn's loosely linked stories...

For more than 60 years, the Californian Family Hinman has exercised a very considerable influence on the development and practice of the highest grade of urology, not only in the American West but worldwide. The leitmotiv of the Hinman School has been honest and thoughtful consideration of the problems of the genitourinary system gone awry. Character is the quintessence of the Hinmans. This virtue distinguishes the present volume on benign pro...

In the last few years, the quantity of books and papers on the political, economic and legal problems of the exploration and use of the sea and marine resources has considerably increased. But the status and activities of intern a­ tional organizations related to maritime shipping, fisheries, scientific research in the World Ocean and the protection of the marine environment have not yet, as a whole, been represented in the scientific and refe...

This volume contains the detailed text of the lectures delivered at the International Workshop on Space Dynamics and e·elestial Mechanics held in Delhi, India during November 14-16, 1985. This workshop was organised under the joint sponsorship of University of Delhi, Delhi, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Trivandrum (India) and the Space Programme of the University of Texas at Austin, Austin, USA. The main objective of the workshop was to review...

Plan of Review This review of clay microstructure is aimed at the diverse group of professionals who share an interest in the properties of fine-grained minerals in sediments. During the last several decades, members of this group have included geologists, soil scientists, soil engineers, engineering geologists, and ceramics scientists. More recently, it has included significant numbers of marine geologists and other engineers. Each of the dis...

It is often said that everyone understands precisely what is meant by the notion of probability-except those who have spent their lives studying the matter. Upon close scrutiny, the intuitively obvious idea of probability becomes quite elusive. Is it a subjective or objective concept? Are random variables simply improperly measured deterministic variables, or inherently random? What is meant by the phrase "other things held constant" that ofte...

Surgery as a medical discipline has from its beginnings appealed to the imagination of many. It is therefore not surprising to find that its colourful past has induced quite a few authors to take up their pens. The truth of this in the Netherlands is witnessed by a number of dissertations and monographs and especially by the numerous articles related to the history of surgery which have appeared in the medical weekly Nederlands Tijdschrift voo...

This volume contains all but one of the lectures and seminars presented at the NATO Advanced Study Institute on HOI Thin Plasmas in Astrophysics held in Cargese, Corsica, from September 8 to 18, 1987. The meeting was planned in collaboration with the members of the Scientific Organizing Committee, 10 whom I am grateful for suggesting a comprehensive and well balanced program. The SOC was comprised of Prof. J. Bleeker (Space Research Institute....

Magnetism, when extended beyond normal frameworks into cosmic space is characterized by an enormous spatial scale. Because of their large sizes the nature of magnets such as the Earth and the Sun is entirely different from the nature of a horseshoe magnet. The source of cosmic magnetism is associated with the hydrodynamic motions of a highly conductive medium. In this aspect, cosmic magnets resemble a dynamo. However, currents in the dynamo fl...

We have once again decided to publish in our series a source-text for the study of Communist ideology. This synopsis of Principles of Marxism­ Leninism 1 (published at the end of 1959 and widely distributed in the Soviet Union) appears as a sequel to that of the Principles of Marxist Philosphy which I published in 1959 as The Dogmatic Principles of Soviet Philosphy. This book is a corporate work, done by some forty Soviet philosophers, sociolo...

A lithium-drifted germanium detector is a semiconductor de­ vice which operates at liquid nitrogen temperature, and is used for detection of nuclear radiation, mostly gamma ray. The detection occurs when the y-ray undergoes an interaction in the intrinsic or I region of the semiconductor. The interaction results in the pro­ duction of charge carriers which are swept out by an electric field. This is accomplished by reverse biasing the detector...

Die ersten drei Hefte dieser Reihe enthalten die Titel der Aufsatze, die in den sowjetischen philosophischen Fachzeitschriften (VFund FN) zwischen 1947 und 1960 erschienen sind, sowie die Titel von Blichern die in diesen Zeitschriften angeflihrt oder in der Bibliothek des Freiburger Osteuropa Instituts vorhanden waren. Ursprlinglich flir den Gebrauch der Mitglieder des Instituts vorgesehen, wurden sie in der Hoffnung veroffentlicht andern Fors...
