Though many 'finite element' books exist, this book provides a unique focus on developing the method for three-dimensional, industrial problems. This is significant as many methods which work well for small applications fail for large scale problems,…

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is concerned with the efficient numerical solution of the partial differential equations that describe fluid dynamics. CFD techniques are commonly used in the many areas of engineering where fluid behavior is an imp…

Homogeneous asymmetric catalysis offers reliable results and the possibility to 'tune' the catalysis on a rational basis. A pitfall, however, is that the separation of the catalyst from the starting material and products is difficult and often result…

Electrochemical processes and methods are basic to many important scientific disciplines, materials science and nanotechnology being only two keywords. For the first time in more than twenty years this volume presents a critical survey of the foundat…

All volumes cover reviews on highly topical areas of electrochemical research and cover areas of both fundamental and practical importance. The result is a compelling set of reviews which serves equally well as an excellent and up-to-date source of i…

Controlled expansion of cell populations is a fundamental feature of living organisms, being a finely-tuned balance between cell proliferation and cell death. This book aims to explain the molecular mechanisms that lie behind the multiplication and s…
