This practice-oriented book introduces chemists, engineers and technicians to the strategies, techniques and efficiency of modern process analytical chemistry. The author targets in particular those professionals in SMEs who have to carry out process control tasks in a "solo-run".
The Faculty of Technical Chemistry introduces itself! The historical development of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at the TU is presented in the five chapters of this volume, starting with the foundation of the Imperial Royal Polytechnic Institute in 1815 and reaching all the way to the TU Wien in 2015, including current research highlights of the Faculty of Technical Chemistry and an overview of its modern equipment and building infrastructure, curricula, and excellent contact with the alumni. A lively picture of the teaching and research of this successful faculty and fully renovated Getreidemarkt Campus is painted, making, however, no claims to completeness.
This comprehensive directory comprises information on more than 800 European analytical scientists and includes complete addresses, telephone and fax numbers, fields of expertise, research topics as well as consulting activities. Private, governmental and official laboratories are also included. Exhaustive indexes allow easy access to all entries. The increasing demand for internationally approved professionals in all fields of analytical chemistry makes this volume an invaluable source of information for the analytical industry, R + D institutions, consultants, private laboratories and university departments seeking for cooperation and service partners or consultancy.
With a vast river network and rainforests extending over eight South American countries, the Amazon plays a vital role particularly in maintaining biodiversity and terrestrial carbon storage. Due to its ecological characteristics, the Amazon benefits not only those countries but also the international community at large. However, the Amazon forests are being rapidly cleared with a consequent loss of biodiversity and impact on global climate. This book examines whether international law has an impact on the preservation of the Amazon by inquiring into the forms of cooperation that exist among the Amazon countries, and between them and the international community, and to what extent international cooperation can help protect the Amazon. Given the role of this region in maintaining the balance of the global environment, the book examines whether the Amazon should be granted a special legal status and possible implications in terms of international cooperation.
40 years of science visualization The visualization of often-encrypted data reveals new, previously hidden, but quite real worlds to humankind. Art adopts these insights and uses them to create new dimensions. This book brings together a wide range of contributions on visualization in science, media, and art. Renowned experts and associates of the Science Visualization Lab at the University of Applied Arts Vienna present examples of outstanding and innovative visualization projects and provide insight into their working methods. The book follows a variety of approaches to expanding perception and rendering the invisible visible. “If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.” – William Blake Insight into the thinking and working methods of renowned scientists, media experts, and artists Lavish publication with numerous illustrations and AR features With contributions by Ina Conradi / Mark Chavez, Christian Köberl, Walter Köhler, Thomas Matzek, Markus Müller, Ruth Schnell, Victoria Vesna / James K. Gimzewski, Manfred Wakolbinger, and others
Understanding and protecting our environment is a key component of environmental development, yet access to a wide range of high-quality information is currently based on very limited data due to lack of the exchange of data between source and recipient. This three part book that first discusses the importance of data exchange and describes why it is essential for gathering data in the environmental sciences. Part Two takes the results of the Environmental Data Exchange Network for Inland Water project (EDEN-IW), and addresses its objectives for ensuring that the needs of citizens and enterprises of the environmental sciences community are met. Finally, Part Three takes a look at the wide variety of data policies and addresses how environment administrators in Europe can enhance their efficiency, openness and accountability. - Discusses the importance of data exchange, as well as database integration and distribution of data with software agents - Provides the results, objectives, and focus of the EDEN-IW project for sharing knowledge - Addresses current data exchange policies and its future impact within the environmental fields
An accurate and complete characterization of the solid pollutants in air, taking into account the physio-chemical and technological data available concerning the origin, transformation, and the effects of dust, is a synoptic approach known as SISintegrated dust analysis and is the underlying concept of this book.
