Lewis Acids in Organic Synthesis
Lewis Acids in Organic Synthesis By
2000 | 1005 Pages | ISBN: 3527295798 | PDF | 25 MB
The use of Lewis acids in organic synthesis, especially in catalysis is one of the most rapidly developing fields in synthetic organic chemistry. In addition, Lewis acid catalysis is one of the key technologies for asymmetric synthesis, and combinatorial chemistry as well as for large-scale production. Until now, pertinent information on these topics was scattered throughout the literature. Although review articles have appeared,it was difficult for the researcher to compare different methods based on Lewis acids. This two-volume handbook, edited and written by an outstanding team of experts in the field, fills this gap! This book is based on a classification according to metal centre of these electron-deficient compounds, allowing an in-depth treatment of the characteristics, benefits and limitations of each class of acid. Extensive cross-referencing and a comprehensive index enables readers to quickly find the solution to their synthesis problem. The chemical community will welcome this as a source of inspiration and invaluable reference for daily work.

Leonard Bernstein and His Young People's Concerts

Leonard Bernstein and His Young People's Concerts
Alicia Kopfstein-Penk, "Leonard Bernstein and His Young People's Concerts"
English | ISBN: 0810888491 | 2015 | 354 pages | AZW3 | 4 MB
Leonard Bernstein touched millions of lives as composer, conductor, teacher, and activist. He frequently visited homes around the world through the medium of television, particularly through his fifty-three award-winning Young People's Concerts (1958-1972), which at their height were seen by nearly ten million in over forty countries. Originally designed for young viewers but equally attractive to eager adults, Bernstein's brilliance as a teacher shined brightly in his televised presentations. And yet, despite the light touch of the "maestro," the innocence of his audience, and the joyousness of each show's topic, the turbulence of the times would peek through.

Legitimating International Organization

Legitimating International Organization
Dominik Zaum, "Legitimating International Organization"
English | 2013 | pages: 272 | ISBN: 0199672091 | PDF | 1,7 mb
The legitimacy of international and regional organisations and their actions is frequently asserted and challenged by states and commentators alike. Their authorisations or conduct of military interventions, their structures of decision-making, and their involvement into what states deem to be domestic matters have all raised questions of legitimacy. As international organisations lack the coercive powers of states, legitimacy is also considered central to their ability to attain compliance with their decisions.

Leg Pain
Leg Pain By Magruder C. Donaldson(auth.)
2004 | 154 Pages | ISBN: 1405116455 | PDF | 11 MB
This small volume is devoted to one of the most common patient complaints encountered by practitioners of adult medicine, and one that frequently presents the initial examining physician with a diagnostic conundrum. Few internists, primary care physicians, emergency room physicians, or medical or surgical subspecialists are thoroughly familiar with the neurologic, orthopedic, immunologic, and vascular causes of leg pain, and help from the literature requires access to multiple texts from diverse medical and surgical specialties. Leg Pain brings together, in a compact and easily transportable volume, expertise from the fields of vascular surgery, neurology, orthopedics and rheumatology, to offer insights into the clinical signs and symptoms associated with leg pain of diverse origins. · Emphasizes distinguishing features of the various types of leg pain, most of which can be determined by a simple history and physical examination.· Much important data are presented in tabular form to aid in arriving at a correct diagnosis. · Contains practical illustrations including a large section showcasing normal anatomy of the lower extremity.Content: Chapter 1 Overview (pages 1-2): Magruder C.

2012 | 337 Pages | ISBN: 1848213980 | PDF | 6 MB
In fluid mechanics, non-intrusive measurements are fundamental in order to improve knowledge of the behavior and main physical phenomena of flows in order to further validate codes.The principles and characteristics of the different techniques available in laser metrology are described in detail in this book.Velocity, temperature and concentration measurements by spectroscopic techniques based on light scattered by molecules are achieved by different techniques: laser-induced fluorescence, coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering using lasers and parametric sources, and absorption spectroscopy by tunable laser diodes, which are generally better suited for high velocity flows. The size determination of particles by optical means, a technique mainly applied in two-phase flows, is the subject of another chapter, along with a description of the principles of light scattering.For each technique the basic principles are given, as well as optical devices and data processing. A final chapter reminds the reader of the main safety precautions to be taken when using powerful lasers.Content: Chapter 1 Basics on Light Scattering by Particles (pages 1-66): Fabrice Onofri and Severine BarbosaChapter 2 Optical Particle Characterization (pages 67-158): Fabrice Onofri and Severine BarbosaChapter 3 Laser?Induced Fluorescence (pages 159-222): Fabrice Lemoine and Frederic GrischChapter 4 Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy Techniques (pages 223-270): Ajmal MohamedChapter 5 Nonlinear Optical Sources and Techniques for Optical Diagnostic (pages 271-306): Michel LefebvreChapter 6 Laser Safety (pages 307-320): Jean?Michel Most
