The ozonation of compounds in water is a complex process. The mechanisms are very complicated, the parameters are many, but the possibilities of developing cost-effective treatment schemes for drinking water and waste water are large. Most books available today concentrate on either drinking water or waste water treatment, seldom dealing with both or explaining the essential differences. And only …
For 'better solutions' – this practical guide describes how to take advantage of supercritical fluids in chemical synthesis. Well-established in extractions and materials processing, supercritical fluids are becoming increasingly popular as media for modern chemical syntheses. Historically, the application of compressed gases has been restricted mainly to the production of bulk chemicals. In the l…
This journey through the fascinating world of molecular topology focuses on catenanes, rotaxanes and knots, their synthesis, properties, and applications and the theory of interlocking and interpenetrating molecules. Nearly one hundred years of progress have passed since Willstatter's speculative vision of a molecule consisting of two interlinked rings. But even today the synthesis of such structu…
Что нам делать с утверждениями представителей других групп о том, что их мораль отличается от нашей собственной? Книга Стивена Энгла дает развернутый ответ на этот вопрос. Она соединяет подробный отчет о развитии китайского дискурса о правах человека с философским взглядом на то, как прочие сообщества должны реагировать на заявления об уникальности китайских концепций прав человека. Исследование п…
В своем новаторском исследовании, посвященном истории Гражданской войны в США, Джоан Э. Кэшин изучает проблему борьбы за человеческие и природные ресурсы между мирными жителями и военными. Поначалу мирные жители с радостью помогали войскам Севера или Юга, однако война оказалась таким тяжелым испытанием, что вскоре южане, независимо от их политических взглядов, всецело сосредоточились на собственно…
Rapid Chemical and Biological Techniques for Water Monitoring presents in one volume the broad spectrum of monitoring tools, both available and under development, and provides an assessment of their potential for underpinning environmental management and legislation. The book explores screening methods in the context of water policies; chemical methods; biological methods; potential use of screeni…
«Китайский “авангард” 1979–1989 годов» – это критический обзор и анализ четырех наиболее значительных китайских авангардных художественных объединений конца 1970-х и 1980-х годов: «Звезды», «Северный художественный коллектив», «Общество “Пруд”» и «Сямэньские дадаисты». Книга включает интервью с участниками коллективов и дает подробное представление о культурно сложных и варьировавшихся в зависимос…
Опираясь на дошедшие до нас рукописи полифонической музыки XII–XIII веков, ученые долгое время предполагали, что музыкальные тексты Средневековья полностью фиксировались на бумаге, а не игрались по памяти. Анна Мария Буссе Бергер бросает вызов этим традиционным представлениям, сформированным исследователями немецкой школы начала ХХ века, которые подходили к средневековой музыке так, будто она ниче…
The synthesis of macrocycles is an art in itself. Template-controlled synthesis provides elegant access to fascinating macrocyclic structures. Polyazamacrocycles, crown ethers, cryptands, rotaxanes, knots – the range of macrocyclic compounds is as broad as their potential application as molecular switches, in ion exchange, electron transfer or catalysis. This book provides authoritative informatio…
A new volume in the «Perspectives in Supramolecular Chemistry» series focusing on separating supramolecular structures, a key step in supramolecular chemistry.
