Handbook of Industrial Hydrocarbon Processes

The late archaic and early woodland peoples lived in the Ohio region between 5,000 and 2,000 years ago. This was a time of transition, when hunters and gatherers began to grow native seed crops, establish more permanent settlements, and develop complex forms of ritual and ceremonialism, sometimes involving burial mound construction. The focused archaeological studies described in Transitions: Archaic and Early Woodland Research in the Ohio Country shed light on this important episode in human cultural development. The authors describe important archaeological sites such as the rich Late Archaic settlements of southwestern Ohio and the early Adena Dominion Land Company enclosure in Franklin County. They present detailed accounts of Native American behavior, such as the use of smoking pipes by Adena societies and a reconstruction of mound use and ritual. Transitions is the result of a comprehensive, long-term study focusing on particular areas of Ohio with the most up-to-date and...

Environmental standards play an important role in maintaining the quality of our natural environment. This is even more significant when dealing with industrial effluent discharges. This work is geared towards the analysis of the type, source and path of contaminants, and their effects with regards to brewery effluents. This work was necessary to provide an independent and unbiased assessment of the state of the environmental quality for this particular industry, thereby enabling the assessment of effluent compliance with local environmental standards. Results have indicated that, with the exception of the heavy metal concentrations, none of the parameters investigated for the final brewery discharge were compliant with the proposed effluent standards. Some of the recommendations offered to assist in the remediation of the problems associated with the disposal of brewery waste include improved recycling techniques, effluent pre-treatment, and the adoption of in-plant quality criteria...

Mary Orr

This is the first comprehensive study in English of Flaubert's least well-known masterpiece, the final version of his Temptation of Saint Anthony (1874) which, thanks to Foucault, has the reputation of being an arcane and erudite "fantastic library" or, thanks to genetic criticism, is a "narrative" of Flaubert's personal aesthetic ("oeuvre de toute ma vie"). By presuming instead no prior knowledge of the text, its versions or its contexts, Mary Orr provides new readings of the seven tableaux which comprise Temptation, and new ways of interpreting the work as a whole, whether the reader is a newcomer to Flaubert or a specialist. Arguing that Flaubert was imagining his own epoch through the eyes of a visionary saint in the fourth century AD, Orr elucidates the dialogues between religion and science that are the dynamic of the work for the first time. She also insists on the meticulous accuracy and imaginative representations of the science of the work, proposing--in the "remapping"...

The Battle of the Crater enjoys the enigma of being one of the lesser known yet most intriguing battles of the Civil War. This book, detailing the culmination of brutal trench warfare at Petersburg, Virginia, delves into the military and political background of the battle. Beginning by tracing the rival armies through the bitter conflicts of the Overland Campaign and ending with the siege of Petersburg, this book offers a candid look at the perception of the campaign by both sides over three years of conflict.

Tariq Ramadan

Named by Time magazine as one of the 100 most important innovators of the century, Tariq Ramadan is a leading Muslim scholar, with a large following especially among young European and American Muslims. Now, in his first book written for a wide audience, he offers a marvelous biography of the Prophet Muhammad, one that highlights the spiritual and ethical teachings of one of the most influential figures in human history. Here is a fresh and perceptive look at Muhammad, capturing a life that was often eventful, gripping, and highly charged. Ramadan provides both an intimate portrait of a man who was shy, kind, but determined, as well as a dramatic chronicle of a leader who launched a great religion and inspired a vast empire. More important, Ramadan presents the main events of the Prophet's life in a way that highlights his spiritual and ethical teachings. The book underscores the significance of the Prophet's example for some of today's most controversial issues, such as the...

There is an increasing challenge for chemical industry and research institutions to find cost-efficient and environmentally sound methods of converting natural resources into fuels chemicals and energy. Catalysts are essential to these processes and the Catalysis Specialist Periodical Report series serves to highlight major developments in this area. This series provides systematic and detailed reviews of topics of interest to scientists and engineers in the catalysis field. The coverage includes all major areas of heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis and also specific applications of catalysis such as NOx control kinetics and experimental techniques such as microcalorimetry. Each chapter is compiled by recognized experts within their specialist fields and provides a summary of the current literature. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage in major areas of chemical research. Compiled by teams of leading experts in their specialist fields,...

Ulrich Muller

An essential introduction to the understanding of the structure of inorganic solids and materials, this revised and updated 2nd Edition looks at new developments and research results within Structural Inorganic Chemistry in a number of ways. Special attention is paid to crystalline solids, elucidation and description of the spatial order of atoms within a chemical compound. Structural principles of inorganic molecules and solids are described through traditional concepts, modern bond theoretical theories, as well as taking symmetry as a leading principle.

Hans–Otto Kalinowski

A comprehensive treatment of carbon–13 NMR spectroscopy, one of the most important methods for the elucidation of the structure of organic molecules.
