There are two basics objectives in Rheometry. The first involves a straight forward attempt to characterize the behaviour of non-Newtonian liquids in a number of simple flow situations, with a view to correlating material behaviour whit either molecular structure or observed behaviour in practical situations.

This fusion of disciplines, though desirable and inevitable, complicates the writing of books in fields where it occurs. Spectrochemical analysis by means of x-rays is definitely such a field. For whom shall a book on this subject be written? Our answer is clear. This book was written for the analytical chemist who wants to use these x-ray methods and to understand them. We have striven for correctness in physics, electronics, and statistics; but we have tried first of all to help the analytical chemist in his work.

Two bestselling authors first met in a televised Caltech debate on “the future of God,” one an articulate advocate for spirituality, the other a prominent physicist. This remarkable book is the product of that serendipitous encounter and the contentious—but respectful—clash of worldviews that grew along with their friendship...

For thousands of years, the star-filled sky has been a source of wonder, discovery, entertainment, and instruction. Ancient people from nearly every continent and culture wove exciting stories about the mythological figures they saw in the heavens. People also used the sun, moon, and stars for time-keeping and navigation. And careful observers throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere kept precise astronomical records, eventually paving the way for the Scientific Revolution and its remarkable discoveries about the nature of the universe.

Includes polymers as drugs, domino dendrimers, PEGylation of proteins as tailored chemistry for optimized bioconjugates, gene delivery using polymer therapeutics, and more.

Contains chromatographic data on all vitamins in one volume. Provides current information and reference work for those involved in the analysis of vitamins irrespective of the sample matrix, foods, pharmaceuticals, and biological samples.

Clearly written treament elucidates fundamental concepts and demonstrates their plausibility and usefulness. Language is informal, examples are vivid and lively, and the perspectivie is fresh. Based on lectures delivered to engineering students, this work will also be valued by scientists, engineers, technicians, businessmen, anyone facing energy challenges of the future.
