SurvismeterFundamentals Devices and Applications

This book presents the survismeter a new invention that widely covers and determines PCPs of various molecules and experimentally measures the thermodynamic and kinetic stabilities of nanoemulsions. It unveils how a survismeter can measure surface tension interfacial tension wettability viscosity friccohesity tentropy rheology density activation energy and particle size. It discusses novel models of molecular science that can be applied in the formulation and study of activities of functional molecules through their PCPs. It also introduces the new concept of friccohesity which has emerged as an excellent substitute of viscosity and surface tension in experimental measurements as it does not require density measurements. It shows that the science and technology of the survismeter and friccohesity have become an inevitable part of scientific research substantially integrating the domain of perfect industrial and academic formulations.

Nanoplasmonics

Nanoplasmonics is one of the most important growth areas of this century. It is part of nano-optics and nanophotonics and deals with oscillations of electrons in metallic nanoparticles and nanostructures. Also it is a multidisciplinary subject covering atomic molecular and solid-state physics as well as much of chemistry. Nanoplasmonics makes it possible to combine the nanoscale properties of smart devices with their optical frequencies of operation. Nanoplasmonics presents for the first time both the physical principles and mathematical descriptions of main nanoplasmonic effects that now are scattered over thousands of research articles. Importantly it contains many methods accompanied by diagrams for fast estimations and calculations of main properties of nanoparticles of very different shapes and their clusters. It also presents the most important applications of nanoplasmonics including in medicine nanolasers electronics perfect lenses and invisibility cloaks.

C60: BuckminsterfullereneSome Inside Stories

This compendium of accounts reveals the unique perspectives of many scientists who made major contributions to the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of C60 buckminsterfullerene but who have not previously published personal accounts. The introduction attempts to provide a rational framework for understanding how this discovery came about and how firmly it rested on earlier technical breakthroughs and how important were the contributions of researchers who were young students at the time. In addition to these accounts most of the key publications are also reprinted. More than anything else this book gives an in-depth overview of how important cross-disciplinary advances from laboratory synthesis molecular spectroscopy radioastronomy stellar chemistry and cluster chemistry were in the discovery. Indeed the story shows not only how major breakthroughs are often impossible to predict but also that the discovery is a perfect example of the value of fundamental science and why it must continue to be supported.

Handbook of Molecular ImprintingAdvanced Sensor Applications

Molecular imprinting focuses on the fabrication of an artificial receptor with perfect molecular recognition abilities. It has attracted a great deal of scientific attention because of the enormous opportunities it opens in the fields of separation catalysis and analysis. The advantages of the molecular imprinting enable to target a wide class of substances ranging from small molecules to big conglomerates such as proteins or even cells. In recent years sensor applications based on molecular imprinting have started to attract greater attention because of the easy creation of robust receptor sites with high specificity and sensitivity toward a target compound. A collection of contributions from distinguised experts Handbook of Molecular Imprinting: Advanced Sensor Applications provides a comprehensive overview on the specific challenges of molecular imprinting in sensor applications. It covers various molecular imprinting approaches. As a result a perspective of future device ensembles for sensing is acquired. The text lays particular emphasis on fundamental aspects as well as novel ideas in the context of sensor applications. It also highlights the operation principles of various sensor transducers that are generally employed in combination with molecular imprinting recognition elements.

High-Tc Superconducting TechnologyTowards Sustainable Development Goals

Mitigating climate change clean environment global peace financial growth and future development of the world require new materials that improve the quality of life. Superconductivity in general allows perfect current transmission without losses. This makes it a valuable resource for sustainability in several aspects. High-temperature superconducting (HTSC) materials will be crucial for sustainable everyday applications and more attractive for the United Nations’ SDGs. Superconducting magnets can be used as high-field magnets in magnetic resonance imaging nuclear magnetic resonance water purification magnetic drug delivery etc. Hunger can be partly avoided if there is sustainability in agriculture. In the future DC electric energy from solar plants in Africa could be transported worldwide especially to cold countries using superconducting cables. Superconducting technology is an efficient way to create sustainability as well as reduce greenhouse gases.This book presents the latest global achievements in the processing and applications of high-Tc superconductors and discusses the usefulness of the SDGs. It summarizes the related advances in materials science and developments with respect to the SDGs. The book also covers large-scale applications of HTSC materials which will be connected to the SDGs addressed by several eminent scientists including Prof. M. Murakami president Shibaura Institute of Technology Japan; Prof. D. Cardwell pro-vice chancellor University of Cambridge UK; and Prof. N. Long director Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand.

Mastering Technical Communication SkillsA Student's Handbook

To live is to communicate and to communicate with confidence is a craft that one will do well to master early rather than later in life. If only the gift of the gab were enough to sail smoothly through the rough waters that the tough world is teeming with every glib conversationalist would have a successful vocation but that’s not the case. The means of communication come naturally to human beings but the skills that make communicating worthwhile and meaningful do not. Thankfully anyone who wishes to can learn—and even perfect—these skills. This concise handbook focuses on the ways in which students can develop a robust career after completing their academic studies. The foundational work of nurturing and strengthening individual abilities begins during university life but these skills need to be complemented with strategies that help the student turned professional to not only interact well with society but also earn its respect through clear precise and honest communication. Talent needs to be matched with competence and the book shows exactly how one goes about doing that. It spells out the ingredients of a sound and strategic action plan that definitively aligns one’s goals with one’s aspirations no matter how lofty. This plan has to be closely related to the choices conditions and possibilities that will be available for the kind of education and experience that individuals have and the aspirations they harbor. Students entering high school or university can use the book to review the necessary courses to choose during their academic life. Young people will find solid guidelines in it that provide a structure for planning and focusing on the skills needed when one embarks upon a fulfilling career.
