Suitable for either a semester or year course for graduate students of mathematics who have had at least one course in topology, this work introduces continuum theory through a combination of classical and modern techniques.

Presenting a novel view of spectrophotomagnetic analysis, this book provides a detailed classification of reactions used for the spectrophotometric determination of both inorganic and organic compounds based on the chemical properties of analytes, reagents, and reaction products. It considers the practical use of spectrophotomagnetic analysis in various disciplines such as pharmacology and environmental science, and suggests specific approaches for the spectrophotomagnetic determination of particular analytes.

This work describes the technology necessary to optimize the performance of any refractory lining. It provides an overview of the thermomechanical behaviour and wear of refractory lining systems, and details the structural behaviour of several classical refractory geometries, highlighting the critical regions of each lining system where high stress is most likely to create fractures.

Over the past decade, a myriad of techniques have shown that solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) can be used in a broad spectrum of applications with exceptionally impressive results. Solid-state NMR results can yield high-resolution details on the structure and function of many important biological solids, including viruses, fibril-forming molecules, and molecules embedded in the cell membrane.

Filling a void in the current literature, NMR Spectroscopy of Biological Solids examines all the recent developments, implementation, and interpretation of solid-state NMR...
