Download or read book Applied Sonochemistry written by T. J. Mason and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 2002-05-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power ultrasound has been used for many years in two specific industrial areas: cleaning and plastic welding. Over the last ten years an increasing interest has been shown in its potential for use over a much wider range of chemistry and processing which has been grouped together under the general title of sonochemistry. Most of these uses depend on the generation of acoustic cavitation in liquid media but this text, while underlining the importance of the physics and mathematics of cavitation, mainly concentrates on applications of the technology. After an introduction to the topic and some historical background to the uses of power ultrasound the general principles of acoustic cavitation are explored including some background physics, bubble dynamics and factors which influence cavitation. The remainder of the book incorporates a series of applications of sonochemistry which illustrate the types of physical and chemical effects of ultrasonically induced cavitation which will interest chemists and engineers alike. Amongst the major topics included are chemical synthesis, environmental protection and remediation of water, sewage and soils, polymer synthesis and processing, electrochemistry including both analytical and synthetic aspects and plating. The final chapter reviews the range of ultrasonic equipment available in the laboratory and the progress made towards the scale-up of sonochemistry. The level is introductory to semi-advanced and no topic has been taken to a particularly specialist level since it is intended that this should be of general interest to readers with a scientific background.

Download or read book Analytical Applications of Ultrasound written by F. Priego Capote and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2007-02-14 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultrasound is an energy source that has the potential for enhancing many stages of experimental analysis, but analytical chemists generally have limited knowledge of this technique. Analytical Applications of Ultrasound lays the foundations for practicing analytical chemists to consider ways of exploiting ultrasound energy in their research. This timely and unique book covers a broad range of information about ultrasound, providing advances in ultrasound equipment and demonstrations of how this energy has been used to enhance various steps of analysis. Given the limited literature on analytical applications of ultrasound, the authors provide information from other sources that suggest ways in which we can use it in the analytical laboratory. The authors discuss the principles of ultrasound and the variables we must consider in adapting ultrasound to different problems.* Presents an up-to-date, balanced description of the potential of Ultrasound within Analytical Chemistry* Discusses ultrasound-based detection techniques in a systematic manner* Provides an overview of potential applications of ultrasound in a variety of different fields

Download or read book Mega Brain written by Michael Hutchinson and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1996-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists have learned more about the brain in the last decade than in all of previous history, and the implications of the latest research are clear: The human brain is far more powerful, and has the potential for immensely greater growth and transformation, than was ever before imagined. These discoveries may constitute the most significant development in learning since the invention of writing. Michael Hutchison captures all the drama, excitement, and adventure as we finally begin to comprehend the most mysterious and complex structure in the universe, the source of human culture, a still untapped reservoir of power and skills. He looks at the recently developed machines and devices that may soon allow us to increase brain size and intelligence; regenerate brain cells; trigger specific brain states such as euphoria, long- and short-term memory, sexual excitement, and creativity; and control the brain's electrical activity in order to alter such "involuntary" mechanisms as blood pressure, heart rate, and the secretion of hormones. Megabrain is a lucid and lively account of where the pioneers in brain research are headed -- and where they are taking us.

Download or read book Encyclopedia of Neuroscience written by George Adelman and published by Elsevier Science & Technology. This book was released on 1999 with total page 1156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. The first edition of the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience has, since its publication nearly ten years ago, become the standard reference work designed to make the neurosciences readily accessible to both the specialist and non-specialist reader.This landmark work, with its broad scope and interdisciplinary coverage, has become an essential reference and learning tool for everyone involved in the study of the brain and how it mediates behavior.Now, the Encyclopedia has been expanded and updated, in most cases by the original authors, and is available both on CD-ROM and in print. The Encyclopedia represents the culmination of a massive international effort to present the neurosciences in one concise source. Edited by George Adelman and Barry Smith, and compiled under the guidance of an outstanding and distinguished Scientific Advisory Board, it includes contributions from renowned experts in their respective fields from around the
