Rod and Bar Rolling: Theory and Applications highlights the underlying relationship between solid mechanics and materials science. It provides a detailed overview of the deformation of material at high temperatures, an assessment of rod and bar rolling processes, and an in-depth review of the basics of hot rolling, elasticity, plasticity, and recrystallization for a clear understanding of the solid mechanics in engineering applications. The also reference presents methods utilized at modern rod and bar rolling facilities and current topics such as interstand tension, roll wear at elevated...

Covers fundamentals of peptide and protein drug delivery. This reference/text includes such considerations as synthesis, physical chemistry and biochemistry, analysis, proteolytic and transport constraints, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics as well as bioavailability from routes of administration.

"Covers the chemistry, process chemistry, technology, engineering, and economics of methane conversion, including its environmental impact and commercial exploitation. Begins with methane's availability and increasing importance as an environmentally acceptable natural resource alternative and feedstock."

A single-volume text, Pharmaceutical Analysis, explores the analytical aspects of drug development and manufacture. This reference provides pharmacists and scientists - specifically, analytical and organic chemists and biochemists -- with a source of information to a broad range of techniques and their applications. This allows readers to choose the most appropriate analytical technique for a particular purpose. The text discusses a variety of concepts, including: quality control and regulatory requirements, chiral and solid state analyses, vibrational spectroscopy, particle properties,...

This insightful work provides a useful introduction to the very large and important field of pharmacokinetics. The authors have selected the Time Constant Approach as a unifying view within which to present important application areas. In addition to providing consistency, their approach provides the novice with an intuitive time view that is meaningful from the outset. This approach allows one to get a "feel" for the data and to relate it to other data in a direct and accessible manner.
The Time Constant Approach provides a synthesis of the noncompartmental and compartmental methods,...

This book provides a set of ODE/PDE integration routines in the six most widely used computer languages, enabling scientists and engineers to apply ODE/PDE analysis toward solving complex problems. This text concisely reviews integration algorithms, then analyzes the widely used Runge-Kutta method. It first presents a complete code before discussing its components in detail, focusing on integration concepts such as error monitoring and control. The format allows scientists and engineers to understand the basics of ODE/PDE integration, then calculate sample numerical solutions within their...

This volume covers major past and future developments as seen by 20 invited speakers at a three-day conference on drug delivery held on September 2-4, 1993, in Kyoto, Japan. The wide-ranging topics covered include polymeric delivery systems for protein drugs.
