Engineering

Polymers are used in everything from nylon stockings to commercial aircraft to artificial heart valves, and they have a key role in addressing international competitiveness and other national issues. Polymer Science and Engineering explores the universe of polymers, describing their properties and wide-ranging potential, and presents the state of the science, with a hard look at downward trends in research support. Leading experts offer findings, recommendations, and research directions. Lively vignettes provide snapshots of polymers in everyday applications. The volume includes an overview of the use of polymers in such fields as medicine and biotechnology, information and communication, housing and construction, energy and transportation, national defense, and environmental protection. The committee looks at the various classes of polymers--plastics, fibers, composites, and other materials, as well as polymers used as membranes and coatings--and how their composition and specific methods of processing result in unparalleled usefulness. The reader can also learn the science behind the technology, including efforts to model polymer synthesis after nature's methods, and breakthroughs in characterizing polymer properties needed for twenty-first-century applications. This informative volume will be important to chemists, engineers, materials scientists, researchers, industrialists, and policymakers interested in the role of polymers, as well as to science and engineering educators and students.

Prudent Practices in the Laboratory: Handling and Disposal of Chemicals combines two bestsellers-Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous Chemicals in Laboratories and Prudent Practices for Disposal of Chemicals from Laboratories. These titles have served for more than a decade as leading sources of chemical safety guidelines for the laboratory. Developed by experts from academia and industry, with specialties in areas of chemical sciences, pollution prevention, and laboratory safety, Prudent Practices for Safety in Laboratories provides step-by-step planning procedures for handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals. The volume explores the current culture of laboratory safety and provides an updated guide to federal regulations. Designed around a recommended workflow protocol for experiments, the book provides practical information on assessing hazards, managing chemicals, disposing of wastes, and more!

Since the publication of the first edition in 1966, the Food Chemicals Codex has provided the accepted standards for quality and purity in food chemicals. Officially referenced by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, and the standard setter for food chemicals in the United States, Canada, Australia, and many other countries, the Fourth Edition updates the field, retaining 915 chemical monographs and adding 52 new ones. Incorporating new and revised specifications and tests, this new reference text presents, in one volume, all the specifications and test methods needed to determine the purity of food chemicals.

This supplement contains eight new and 34 revised monographs; two additions and two revisions to appendices III, IV, and VII (each followed by the page number in the 4th edition since these unlike the monographs have not been reprinted in their entirety); and a list of errata. The index uses bold type and asterisks to indicate new monographs, tests, and test items. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

GIS Basics

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are computer systems for storing, displaying and analyzing spatial data. The past twenty years have seen a rapid growth in their use in government, commerce and academia, and they can be used for managing a network of utilities, from handling census data through to planning the location of a new supermarket. But how do they work? Stephen Wise has been a regular contributor to GeoEurope and his 'Back to Basics' articles have provided a clear and simple introduction to the inner workings of GIS for a non-specialist audience. He now presents the original articles with new material and provides a new coverage of both major types of GIS: vector and raster systems. Undergraduates and professionals who wish to improve their knowledge of GIS should get a better understanding of how GIS operate in the way that they do, such as how spatial data is stored on a computer, how the different methods affect the capabilities of the GIS, how basic operations performed and how the choice of algorithm affects the speed of the system.
