Concepts of Modern Catalysis and Kinetics
I. Chorkendorff , and J. W. Niemantsverdriet Manufacturer: Wiley-VCH ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 3527305742 |
Book Description
Until now, the literature has offered a rather limited approach to the use of fundamental kinetics and their application to catalytic reactions. Subsequently, this book spans the full range from fundamentals of kinetics and heterogeneous catalysis via modern experimental and theoretical results of model studies to their equivalent large-scale industrial production processes. The result is key knowledge for students at technical universities and professionals already working in industry. "...such an enterprise will be of great value to the community, to professionals as well as graduate and undergraduate students attempting to move into the field of modern catalysis and kinetics. I strongly recommend you publish this book based on the proposal."
—Prof. Dr. G. A. Samorjai, University of California
"Both authors are well respected specialists, with a very long record of original top-quality work and an international reputation. A book from these authors will be considered an authoritative piece of work, I definitely support this project and I am looking forward to use the book when published."
—Prof. Dr. D. E. Resasco, University of Oklahoma
"I wholly support the proposed project. The authors are very competent young colleagues and there is a real need for such a textbook."

Printed Circuit Board Design Techniques for EMC Compliance: A Handbook for Designers (IEEE Press Series on Electronics Technology)
Mark I. Montrose Manufacturer: Wiley-IEEE Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0780353765 |
Book Description
"Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is an engineering discipline often identified as black magic. This belief exists because the fundamental mechanisms on how radio frequency (RF) energy is developed within a printed circuit board (PCB) is not well understood by practicing engineers. Rigorous mathematical analysis is not required to design a PCB. Using basic EMC theory and converting complex concepts into simple analogies helps engineers understand the mitigation process that deters EMC events from occurring.This user-friendly reference covers a broad spectrum of information never before published, and is as fluid and comprehensive as the first edition. The simplified approach to PCB design and layout is based on real-life experience, training, and knowledge. Printed Circuit Board Techniques for EMC Compliance, Second Edition will help prevent the emission or reception of unwanted RF energy generated by components and interconnects, thus achieving acceptable levels of EMC for electrical equipment. It prepares one for complying with stringent domestic and international regulatory requirements. Also, it teaches how to solve complex problems with a minimal amount of theory and math. Essential topics discussed include:
This rules-driven bookformatted for quick access and cross-referenceis ideal for electrical and EMC engineers, consultants, technicians, and PCB designers regardless of experience or educational background."

Terrible book.......2004-07-06
I donated my book to the city library, but I was very tempted to throw it away to save somebody else from struggling with it.
OK, but missing something.......2003-10-29
good for a lot of EMC/EMI pains.......2001-07-30
It covers power and grounds, signal integrity, and used with Howard Johnson's book (High Speed Digital Design), gives a strong insight to the PC board layout issues of high speed digital and analog electronics.
