This textbook provides a self-contained and elementary introduction to the modern theory of pseudodifferential operators and their applications to partial differential equations. It presents the necessary material on Fourier transformation and distribution theory, the basic calculus of pseudodifferential operators on the n-dimensional Euclidean space, an introduction to the theory of singular integral operators, the modern theory of Besov and Bessel potential spaces, and several applications to wellposedness and regularity question for elliptic and parabolic equations. The basic notation...

This book is the 2^nd improved and expanded edition of "Clinical Enzymology" (Lott/Wolf, 1987). It includes case studies and guidelines for specialists of laboratory medicine and clinicians, devotes each chapter to a specific enzyme or protein marker, contains case studies and guidelines, a section on marker biochemistry and physiology as well as a section on special pathology and analysis. The clear, didactic structure and the multiple choice questions also make the book valuable reading for graduate students in the fields of clinical pathology and laboratory medicine.

The book presents the engineering aspects of risk management. The introduction to potential risks is followed by management principles, risk diagnostic, analysis and treatment followed by examples of practical implementation in chemistry, physics and emerging technologies such as nanoparticles; financial and insurance domains are not covered. The book is aimed at students as well as at engineers or scientists faced with these issues in their day-to-day business.

Basic Process Engineering Control is based on the extensive experience of the
authors in the field of industry, teaching and writing. The textbook showcases
methods, problems, and tools used in this well-established fi eld of chemical engineering and goes beyond traditional process engineering by applying the same principles to biomedical processes, energy production, and management of environmental issues. Starting from the behavior of processes, Basic Process Engineering Control explains all determinations in "chemical systems" or "process systems," such as the intricate inter...

This textbook is addressed to the needs of applied mathematicians, physicists, engineers etc., who are interested in studying the problems of mathematical physics in general and their approximate solutions on computer in particular. Almost all basic results of the theory of distributions are contained in the book. It contains almost all topics of Sobolev spaces which are essential for the study of elliptic boundary value problems and their finite element analysis. Additional topics have been included along with many interesting examples. Hence it can be read as an introduction to advanced...

As a mature topic in chemical engineering, the book provides methods, problems and tools used in process control engineering. It discusses: process knowledge, sensor system technology, actuators, communication technology, and logistics, design and construction of control systems and their operation. The knowledge goes beyond the traditional process engineering field by applying the same principles, to biomedical processes, energy production and management of environmental issues. The book explains all the determinations in the "chemical systems" or "process systems," starting from the...

Separation processes on an industrial scale comprise well over half of the capital and operating costs. They are basic knowledge in every chemical engineering and process engineering study. This book provides comprehensive and fundamental knowledge of university teaching in this discipline, exercises and solutions.
