Preconcentration Techniques for Natural and Treated Waters High Sensitivity Determination of Organic and Organometallic Compounds Cations and

Equipment used for the analysis of water is frequently insufficiently sensitive to be able to detect the low concentrations of organic and inorganic substances present in samples. Applying preconcentration to the sample prior to analysis means the results gained are more accurate and can be used to report trends more effectively. Each chapter of Preconcentration Techniques for Natural and Treated Waters discusses a different method of preconcentration and its application to the preconcentration of cations anions organic substances and organometallic compounds. Drawing together the recent world literature available on the subject this book provides detailed discussion of the need for reducing detection limits in analytical chemistry and ways of achieving this aim. Throughout the book emphasis is laid on providing practical experimental detail facilitating further development of procedures. Numerous tables present information clearly and accessibly. This book will be an invaluable reference for biologists chemists agriculturists toxicologists oceanographers and environmentalists dealing with the analysis of water in industry and academia. | Preconcentration Techniques for Natural and Treated Waters High Sensitivity Determination of Organic and Organometallic Compounds Cations and

FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide Decision Diagrams Check

FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide Decision Diagrams Check

A workbook for day-to-day decisions Nutrition labels on various food products must comply with numerous ever-changing requirements. Items such as meat and poultry products food packages and dietary supplements are subject to stringent federal regulations-and the costs of compliance are often significant. The Nutritional Labeling and Education Act of 1990 (NLEA) imposed new mandates for labeling of many packaged food products; still others became subject to a voluntary nutrition labeling program. Following that lead USDA has imposed parallel labeling requirements. FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide: Decision Diagrams Checklists and Regulations provides hands-on information and guidelines for understanding the latest federal nutrition labeling requirements. This plain English analysis of FDA and FSIS labeling rules contains diagrams and tables and cites specific regulations. Decision diagrams walk the reader through volumes of information and make sense out of complicated regulatory processes. Checklists for managing information for developing specific labels help the reader track regulatory changes and document regulation applicability to company products. The RegFinder index references not only the text but also provides hundreds of regulatory citations referenced by topic. FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide: Decision Diagrams Checklists and Regulations will be of interest to food industry personnel responsible for compliance with federal nutritional labeling regulations food product developers and food technologists. Faculty teaching food laws and regulations and food product development will also find this book of interest. | FDA and USDA Nutrition Labeling Guide Decision Diagrams Check

Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine

From the discovery of x-rays in 1895 through the emergence of computed tomography (CT) in the 1970s and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the 1980s non-invasive imaging has revolutionized the practice of medicine. While these technologies have thoroughly penetrated clinical practice scientists continue to develop novel approaches that promise to push imaging into entirely new clinical realms while addressing the issues of dose sensitivity or specificity that limit existing imaging approaches. Emerging Imaging Technologies in Medicine surveys a number of emerging technologies that have the promise to find routine clinical use in the near- (less than five years) mid- (five to ten years) and long-term (more than ten years) time frames. Each chapter provides a detailed discussion of the associated physics and technology and addresses improvements in terms of dose sensitivity and specificity which are limitations of current imaging approaches. In particular the book focuses on modalities with clinical potential rather than those likely to have an impact mainly in preclinical animal imaging. The last ten years have been a period of fervent creativity and progress in imaging technology with improvements in computational power nanofabrication and laser and detector technology leading to major new developments in phase-contrast imaging photoacoustic imaging and optical imaging.

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Restraint and intrinsic stresses in concrete at early ages are vitally important for concrete structures which must remain free of water-permeable cracks such as water-retaining structures tunnel linings locks and dams. The development of hydration heat stiffness and strength also the degree of restraint and especially for high-strength concrete non-thermal effects are decisive for sensitivity to cracking. Determining thses stresses in the laboratory and in construction components has led to a clearer understanding of how they develop and how to optimize mix design temperature and curing conditions. New testing equipment has enabled the effects of all the important parameters to be qualified and more reliable models for predictiong restraint stresses to be developed. Thermal Cracking in Conrete at Early Ages contains 56 contributions by leading international specialists presented at the RILEM Symposium held in October 1994 at the Technical University of Munich. It will be valuable for construction and site engineers concrete technologists and scientists. | Thermal Cracking in Concrete at Early Ages Proceedings of the International RILEM Symposium

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis

Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a powerful technique for understanding the viscoelastic properties of materials. It has become a powerful tool for chemists polymer and material scientists and engineers. Despite this it often remains underutilized in the modern laboratory. Because of its high sensitivity to the presence of the glass transition many users limit it to detecting glass transitions that can’t be seen by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This book presents a practical and straightforward approach to understanding how DMA works and what it measures. Starting with the concepts of stress and strain the text takes the reader through stress–strain creep and thermomechanical analysis. DMA is discussed as both the instrument and fixtures as well as the techniques for measuring both thermoplastic and thermosetting behavior. This edition offers expanded chapters on these areas as well as frequency scanning and other application areas. To help the reader grasp the material study questions have also been added. Endnotes have been expanded and updated. Features Reflects the latest DMA research and technical advances Includes case studies to demonstrate the use of DMA over a range of industrial problems Includes numerous references to help those with limited materials engineering background Demonstrates the power of DMA as a laboratory tool for analysis and testing
