A case history approach to drug synthesis and discovery
Discover the origins of some of the most popular drug therapies on the market today, including penicillin, Minoxidil, Viagra®, and "the pill." This guide to drug synthesis and discovery focuses on case histories. Organized by drug category, the...
Although the general optimal solution of the filtering problem for nonlinear state and observation equations confused with white Gaussian noises is given by the Kushner equation for the conditional density of an unobserved state with respect to observations (see [48] or [41], Theorem 6.5, formula (6.79) or [70], Subsection 5.10.5, formula...
"There is no other book I've come across that offers this breadth of knowledge and makes you that excited about the possibilities in this fast paced market. Next Generation Wireless Applications is written in a very accessible way and packed full of useful insights from the author reflecting his extensive experience...
Nonimaging optics is a subdiscipline of optics whose development over the last 35–40 years was led by scientists from the University of Chicago and other cooperating individuals and institutions. The approach provides a formalism that allows the design of optical devices that approach the maximum physically attainable geometric concentration...
Despite many significant advances in the theory of nonlinear control in recent years, the majority of control laws implemented in the European aerospace industry are still designed and analysed using predominantly linear techniques applied to linearised models of the aircrafts’ dynamics. Given the continuous increase in the complexity of...
Catalysis underpins most modern industrial organic processes. It has become an essential tool in creating a 'greener' chemical industry by replacing more traditional stoichiometric reactions, which have high energy consumption and high waste production, with mild processes which increasingly resemble Nature's enzymes.
In this second, completely revised and enlarged edition, Francois Diederich is joined by Armin de Meijere in bringing together in two comprehensive volumes everything of importance related to C-C and C-N cross-coupling reactions.
The range of applications covered extends from the synthesis of complex natural materials via...
Global awareness of the importance of monitoring and protecting our environment has grown considerably over the last ten years. Environmental concerns are now an integral part of today's legislation, product design and development, waste minimization and disposal. As well as background monitoring of the environment, scientists are involved in...
John Crisp's Introduction to Fiber Optics is well established as an introductory text for engineers, managers and students. It meets the needs of systems designers, installation engineers, electronic engineers and anyone else who wants to gain a working knowledge of fiber optics with a minimum of maths. Review questions are included within the text...
from the foreword…a clear, self-contained and well organized introduction to Nonimaging Optics….will strongly contribute to the spread and understanding of Nonimaging Optics, helping engineers to find better solutions to many optical design problems where the transfer of light energy is critical. ...
"The expertise of Paul shows in the easy transitions made between discussions of theory and experiment, particularly in subjects related to quantum optics." M.C. Ogilvie, Choice Magazine
Providing a deeper understanding of the microscopic world through quantum theory, this supplementary text covers a wider...
Co-integration of sensors with their associated electronics on a single silicon chip may provide many significant benefits regarding performance, reliability, miniaturization and process simplicity without significantly increasing the total cost.
Micromachined Thin-Film Sensors for SOI-CMOS Co-integration covers the challenges...
