Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Flash of Light is an intriguing book that starts at the beginning of time itself and then winds its way through a host of fascinating light related topics including the hues of aliens sunsets, the psychology of colour, and the chemistry of LCD screens. Written as part of a novel experiment, editors Mark Lorch and Andy Miah hatched a plan to collect a critical mass of academics in a room and charged them with writing a popular science book, under the watchful eye of the general public at the Manchester Science Festival. The result is an enlightening look into the science behind colour and light, encompassing biology, chemistry and physics and including simple and fun 'try this at home' ideas to illustrate the concepts covered. Drawing on the experience of some of the UK's best science communicators, this book will appeal to anyone with an interest in science. Its pacey, witty and engaging tone provides illuminating insight into how and why we see the universe the way we do.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Materials play a key role in the development of new personal care products. The book will look at the polymers used in personal care products (hair care, skin care, nail care) including those used for surfactants, rheological modifiers, antibacterial polymers, encapsulating agents (including concepts of delivery, barrier properties). The book will be suitable for graduate level students and academics working with industry to develop polymers for personal care products as well as those in industry producing such products. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Catalysis is a core area of contemporary science posing major fundamental and conceptual challenges, while being at the heart of the chemical industry. At this discussion, we bring the catalysis community together to explore the modern methods used to design new catalysts and how these approaches can bridge across the disciplines of physical sciences and chemical engineering.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Vibrational biomedical spectroscopy, near field methods and many aspects of associated biophotonics have advanced significantly in recent years. Diagnostic and prognostic tools based on these new technologies have the potential to revolutionise our clinical systems leading to improved patient outcome, more efficient public services and significant economic savings for healthcare providers and society. This meeting brings together scientists researching vibrational spectroscopy and the development of clinically relevant diagnostic tools to discuss the current challenges and emerging opportunities in this field.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Urban atmospheres are clearly distinguishable from most rural and all remote atmospheres by their high primary pollutant loadings and relatively fast reaction times. However, these rapid reactions are currently poorly captured by numerical models. Recent research on urban air pollution has focused upon cities as a source of air pollutants to the regional and global atmosphere. This neglects the impact of urban air pollution upon human health. With the increasing urbanisation of human populations, this topic is of great importance. This Faraday Discussion addresses both the key questions and the over-arching issues related to understanding chemistry in the urban atmosphere. It explores the chemical complexity of the urban atmosphere; the relative timescales of mixing and of chemical processes; lessons from past major studies of the urban atmosphere; and numerical modelling strategies.…
