Biomass to Biofuels
Focusing on the key challenges that still impede the realization of the billion-ton renewable fuels vision, this book integrates technological development and business development rationales to highlight the key technological.developments that are necessary to industrialize biofuels on a global scale. Technological issues addressed in this work include fermentation and downstream processing technologies, as compared to current industrial practice and process economics. Business issues that provi...

Biofuels (Methods in Molecular Biology, #581)
This editor believes the public finally understands that bioenergy should be a critical new 39 component of our world's future energy supply. While this new enlightenment might have 40 come from bioenergy's environmentally friendly attributes and its renewable and sustain- 41 able nature, the reality is that the primary driver has been both the high cost of energy, 42 led recently by petroleum products, and the unique climatic changes such as local weather 43 events and reports of melting of anc...

Service Life Prediction of Polymeric Materials
Service Life Prediction of Polymeric Materials: Global Perspectives combines developed content derived from topics discussed in the Fourth International Symposium on Service Life Prediction (Key Largo, Florida, December 2006). This critical examination of the existing and alternative methodologies used to assess the service life of polymeric materials presents readers with the advances in accelerated and field exposure testing protocols. Written by established experts in the service life communi...
The energetics and mechanisms of diffusion control the kinetics of such diverse phenomena as the fabrication of semiconductors and superconductors, the tempering of steel, geological metamorphism, the precipitation hardening of nonferrous alloys and corrosion of metals and alloys. This work explains the fundamentals of diffusion in the solid state at a level suitable for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students in materials science, metallurgy, mineralogy, and solid state physic...

Step-Growth Polymers for High-Performance Materials (ACS Symposium, #624)
Presents the latest work in transition metal catalyzed polymerization, dendritic and hyperbranched systems, poly(aryl ether) synthesis, polyimides, and high-temperature polymers. Describes recent research on commercially important polymers based on step-growth polymerization. Includes well-referenced overview articles that review step-growth polymerization and indicate how individual research papers have impacted the field.
Learning to read is not natural for many individuals, who remain dependent on the skill, knowledge, and persistence of their teachers to acquire reading proficiency. Reading instruction, however, can be designed with greater validity than ever before because of a solid, converging body of scientific research on reading acquisition, reading processes, and reading disabilities. This special issue presents some of the major advances in methodologically and theoretically sound treatment research by...

This book provides information on the techniques needed to analyze foods in laboratory experiments. All topics covered include information on the basic principles, procedures, advantages, limitations, and applications. This book is ideal for undergraduate courses in food analysis and is also an invaluable reference to professionals in the food industry. General information is provided on regulations, standards, labeling, sampling and data handling as background for chapters on specific methods t...
This title provides detailed, up-to-date coverage of hazardous materials and situations. Lack of awareness about hazardous materials poses a major problem, causing many needless injuries and losses of property. Incomplete awareness presents just as big a problem; often people who have contact with such materials know just enough to feel safe while actually putting themselves and others in great danger. Though regulatory agencies have provided written standards, rarely do these on their own offer...
Although the topic of fillers for paints is an old one, there has never been a comprehensive book on the subject - until now. The sheer number of minerals and their sources, the frequently underestimated effort that goes into their manufacture, the testing done to characterize their diverse properties, their wide ranging applications - all are excellent reasons for the writing of this book. Fillers are instrumental in many properties of coating materials and films: their rheology, content of vol...
Carotenoid-Derived Aroma Compounds (ACS Symposium, #802)
Although many aspects of caotenoids research are comprehensively covered in recent monographs, the aroma chemistry of carotenoid-derived compounds has not been explored. Carotenoid-Derived Aroma Comounds highlights the importance that carotenoid metabolites have in the flavour and fragrance industry. The volume provides state-of-the-art coverage of analytical and sensory characteristics of carotenoid-derived aroma compounds. The volume includes discussion on the (bio)generation and means for...
Process Safety Leadership from the Boardroom to the Frontline
by CCPS (Center for Chemical Process Safety)
The definitive leadership guide on safe practices The release of chemicals and other hazardous materials pose significant, potentially catastrophic threats worldwide. An alarming number of such events, all of which are preventable, occur too often. Reducing the frequency of serious incidents is a fundamental responsibility of leadership at all levels, from frontline managers and supervisors to C-suite executives and the board of directors as well. Process Safety Leadership from the Boardroom to...
