简介：The key to correct structure analysis now in its second edition. There have been many important advances in the field since the first publication of this book. Consequently, this edition has been extended to incorporate a number of pulse sequence developments. Nevertheless, it still details the basic experiments on a step-by-step basis, such that students and newcomers may come to understand basic data acquisition procedures, modular pulse sequence units, and complete sequences in NMR spectroscopy. The author applies the numerous possibilities of Bruker's simulation program NMR-SIM to provide a guided introduction to the world of pulse sequences. The effectiveness of particular NMR experiments is demonstrated by the "Check Its" section and that of data processing by the accompanying CD-ROM containing the Bruker processing software 1D and 2D WIN-NMR. Major revisions include increased coverage of simulations of multiple offset selective pulse experiments as well as filter elements. One new chapter is a collection of some of the latest published ideas to improve existing sequences, together with spin-state selective experiments. The result is a volume encouraging beginners to use high resolution NMR, while prompting experts to evaluate new experiments using the easy-manageable simulation program. From the first edition: "... not only of interest for the NMR operators but also for interpreters of spectral data'. Many mistakes made with the application of modern NMR spectroscopy because of a lack of understanding of basic principles may be avoided. This volume covers all these aspects and explains them in an interactive way." AFS Advances in Food Science, 2002, Vol. 24

简介：The coastal zone has always been an important frontier - for trade, food and the foundations of modern civilization. This same zone has also been exploited in one way or another, and sometimes without regard to the balance and schemes of Mother Nature. It is only when things go terribly wrong that we begin to react and attempt to undo the mistakes of the past. At times we have succeeded, but at a high price. At times, we have to retreat and concede defeat as the technology of man is no match to the force of nature. Over time, we learn to work with nature and leverage the science of nature to protect the coastal zone and hold our frontier between the sea and land. This proceeding presents the recent advances in all aspects of ocean and coastal research and management in the Asian and Pacific nations. The volume set provides a valuable source of information for scientists, engineers and professionals dealing with coastal zone issues and challenges in coastal, port and ocean engineering development, as well as the environmental impacts resulting from development of ocean and coastal areas.

简介：The book seeks not to present a detailed history and discussion, but instead is intended to provide the studentwith an appreciation of the idea that all cuisines of the world have something unique to offer to a menu. The authorstrongly believes that foods of other nations (and even other areas of the United States) are too often given short shrift by culture-bound students and chefs, and thatevery attempt should be made to open their minds to the unlimited possibilities available. The word "foodism" is introduced to refer to biases against foods outside your culture. * Draws on diverse culinary traditions including the Americas, Europe, Pacific Rim, Africa, the Middle East,and South Asia to teach students to appreciate that all cuisines of the world have something unique to offer to a menu * Introduces the concept of "foodism," a bias that can impair a chef's creativity * Offers comparisons in thehistory, evolution, and migration of food ingredients and techniques * Includes a CD with recipes from around the world.

简介：Solving Problems in Food Engineering is a step by step workbook indented to help the students practicing on solving food engineering problems. It deals with problems in fluid flow, heat transfer, mass transfer and the most common unit operations that find applications in food processing i.e. thermal processing, cooling and freezing, evaporation, psychrometrics and drying. It includes 1) theoretical questions in the form true or false, 2) solved problems, 3) semi-solved problems and 4) problems solved using a computer. With the semi-solved problems the students are guided through the solution. The main steps are given but the students will have to fill out blank points. Some of the problems are elementary but problems of increasing difficulty follow so that the book will be useful to food science and even to food engineering students. A CD-Rom accomapnies the book, which contains spreadsheet solutions of problems that require the use of a computer e.g. transient heat and mass transfer problems, simulation of 2 and 4-effect evaporators, freezing of a 2-D solid, drying and others.

Chemical engineering dynamics : an introduction to modelling and computer simulation

作者：  Ingham, John,

出版社：Wiley-VCH 2007

简介：In Chemical Engineering Dynamics, the modelling of dynamic chemical engineering processes is presented in a highly understandable way using the unique combination of simplified fundamental theory and direct hands-on computer simulation. The mathematics is kept to a minimum, and yet the nearly 100 examples supplied on a CD-ROM illustrate almost every aspect of chemical engineering science. Each example is described in detail, including the model equations. They are written in the modern user-friendly simulation language Berkeley Madonna, which can be run on both Windows PC and Power-Macintosh computers. Madonna solves models comprising many ordinary differential equations using very simple programming, including arrays. It is so powerful that the model parameters may be defined as "sliders", which allow the effect of their change on the model behavior to be seen almost immediately. Data may be included for curve fitting, and sensitivity or multiple runs may be performed. The results can be seen simultaneously on multiple-graph windows or by using overlays. The resultant learning effect of this is tremendous. The examples can be varied to fit any real situation, and the suggested exercises provide practical guidance. The extensive experience of the authors, both in university teaching and international courses, is reflected in this well-balanced presentation, which is suitable for the teacher, the student, the chemist or the engineer. This book provides a greater understanding of the formulation and use of mass and energy balances for chemical engineering, in a most stimulating manner. This book is a third edition, which also includes biological, environmental and food process examples.
