Light scattering is a very powerful method for characterizing the structure of polymers and nanoparticles in solution. As part of the Springer Laboratory series, this book provides a simple-to-read and illustrative textbook probing the seemingly very complicated topic of light scattering from polymers and nanoparticles in dilute solution, and goes further to cover some of the latest technical developments in experimental light scattering.

Molecular Sieves- Science and Technology will cover, in a comprehensive manner, the science and technology of zeolites and all related microporous and mesoporous materials. Authored by renowned experts, the contributions will be grouped together topically in such a way that each volume of the book series will be dealing with a specific sub-field. Volume 3 deals with the most widely employed techniques for the post-synthesis modificaton of molecular sieves.

As the number of commercially available instruments having atmospheric pressure ionization (API) interfaces has increased, interest in liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) for lipid analysis has blossomed. Research into novel techniques for LC/MS is a lively source of journal article material, most notably regarding electrospray ionization and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization for analysis of lipids. Growing interest in modern API techniques for lipid analysis precipitated publication of this volume.

This comprehensive volume presents invited reviews and short notes with exciting new results obtained in fabrication study and application of nanostructures, which promise a new generation of electronic and optoelectronic devices. The rapid progress in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics, molecular electronics and spintronics, nanotechnology and quantum processing of information are covered.

Optical Biosensors provides the most comprehensive analysis of optical biosensors and relevant technologies to date. It focuses both on current state of the art technologies and new advances that will influence the future of optical biosensor development, including several technological advances not yet greatly explored within this field.

Transport and transformation processes are key for determining how humans and other organisms are exposed to chemicals. These processes are largely controlled by the chemicals’ physical-chemical properties. This new edition of the Handbook of Physical-Chemical Properties and Environmental Fate for Organic Chemicals is a comprehensive series in four volumes that serves as a reference source for environmentally relevant physical-chemical property data of numerous groups of chemical substances.

Con la publicación de la tercera edición, este texto empieza la cuarta década de su existencia. En retrospectiva, ha tenido tres etapas de desarrollo. La primera edición representó un despegue radical de los textos sobre fluidos en su tiempo. Por ejemplo, fue el primer texto que utilizó la ecuación de transporte de Reynolds para establecer las formas integrales de las leyes básicas mediante volúmenes de control. Asimismo, fue el primer texto que introdujo y utilizó el volumen de control no inercia.

This extensive and comprehensive collection of lectures by world-leading experts in the field introduces and reviews all relevant computer simulation methods and their applications in condensed matter systems. Volume 2 offers surveys on numerical experiments carried out for a great number of systems, ranging from materials sciences to chemical biology, including supercooled liquids, spin glasses, colloids, polymers, liquid crystals, biological membranes and folding proteins.

Evidence for the birth of the universe is raining down on you. It's called the cosmic microwave background, and it's had quite a journey. Born in the stupendous annihilation of matter and antimatter seconds after the big bang, trapped in the hot plasma of the expanding universe for 380,000 years, and then suddenly released when the universe cooled to the point that atoms could form, this echo of creation has been on an uninterrupted voyage through space for 13.7 billion years—until it reached you.
