CAMD or Computer Aided Molecular Design refers to the design of molecules with desirable properties. That is, through CAMD, one determines molecules that match a specified set of (target) properties. CAMD as a technique has a very large potential as in principle, all kinds of chemical, bio-chemical and material products can be designed through this technique. This book mainly deals with macroscopic properties and therefore does not cover molecular design of large, complex chemicals such as drugs. While books have been written on computer aided molecular design relating to drugs and large complex chemicals, a book on systematic formulation of CAMD problems and solutions, with emphasis on theory and practice, which helps one to learn, understand and apply the technique is currently unavailable.

A title in the well established, practical, and much used series of European Guides. Guide to European Electric Motors, Drives and Controls is compiled with the help of and benefit from the day-to-day practical experience of electric motor, drives and controls users, manufacturers and suppliers. It is not simply another treatise or textbook on motors although basic theory is comprehensively covered.

Bringing together academics, researchers, and industrialists, Climbing and Walking Robots 2003 (CLAWAR 2003) provides a forum for cross-fertilization in the different specialities so that both state-of-the-art and industrial applications can be reported on. Original contributions, both industrial and those in new/emerging fields, provide a full picture of climbing and walking robots.

This book focuses on the hot topic of bio/renewable materials. It is based on comprehensive research projects, during which these materials were systematically analyzed and characterized. It offers comparable data not only for biogenic polymers and biological macromolecules such as proteins but also for engineering materials.
This book also includes valuable information regarding micro-structure, manufacturing, and processing, application, and recycling properties of biopolymers.

Das Buch behandelt ausführlich das Verhalten der thermischen Turbomaschinen unter geänderten Betriebsbedingungen und darauf aufbauend ihre Regelungseigenschaften. Weiter werden die spezifischen Festigkeitsprobleme der Turbomaschinen dargestellt. Diesen Kapiteln ist ein allgemeines Kapitel über die Grundlagen der Festigkeitsrechnungen vorausgeschickt, das zwar diejenigen Aspekte besonders hervorhebt, die im Turbomaschinenbau vor allem wichtig sind, aber auch für verwandte Gebiete bedeutsam ist, da eine geraffte Darstellung dieser Art bis heute fehlt. Der Bestimmung der Temperaturverteilung in den maßgebenden Konstruktionsteilen (insbes. in der gekühlten Gasturbine) ist ein weiteres Kapitel gewidmet. Den Abschluß bilden die Ausführungen über die Schaufelschwingungen und die lauftechnischen Probleme der Rotoren.

This volume deals with an exceptionally broad range of metal matrix composite materials, including a number of novel combinations which have received little attention in the past. The results of a substantial research and development programme into aluminium alloy - based lamellar-fibrous metal matrix composite materials, which combine organic and glass fibre reinforced plastics, are also considered in some detail. For each case the complete innovation spectrum of conception, design, manufacture, testing and final usage, is considered.
This handbook is one of three containing an invaluable collection of research grade XPS Spectra. Each handbook concentrates on a specific family of materials (the elements and their native oxides, semiconductors and polymers) and is entirely self-contained. The introductory section to each handbook includes comprehensive information about the XPS instrument used, the materials and the advanced methods used to collect the spectra. Energy resolution settings, instrument characteristics, energy referencing methods, traceability, energy scale calibration details and transmission function are all reported.
