Part of the popular family of IEEE LAN/MAN standards which are used worldwide throughout the computer industry, this standard is a revision of ISO/IES 8802.3: 1992, IEEE 802.3h-1992, IEEE 802.3h-1990, and IEEE 802.3i-1990. It specifies the media access control characteristics for the carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/DC) access method).

A highly used international industry standard that provides for the compatible interconnection of data processing equipment via a local area network using the token-passing ring access method.

Examines single photon and multiphoton organometallic chemistry for a range of environments, including isolated molecules, molecules in the bulk gas, liquid, and solid phases, and molecules in clusters. Covers the dynamics of unimolecular dissociation and molecular collisions. Reviews such applications as the use of lasers for homogeneous photocatalysis, ultrafine particle production, III-V semiconductor growth, laser-driven chemical vapor deposition, and laser processing of metal-containing polymers. Describes state-of-the-art research strategies, ranging from the use of cryogenic liquid rare gases in synthetic and mechanistic studies to a variety of spectroscopic techniques.

Bob Lucky provides a humorous, nostalgic collection of ten years worth of his own reflections on typical situations engineers encounter during their careers. Spiced with 20% new anecdotes and personal experiences, Lucky Strikes...Again takes good-natured gibes at corporate bureaucrats while offering some not-so-subtle advice on ways to circumvent the bureaucracy and gives the bureaucrats some hints on when to look the other way.

Provides a comprehensive coverage of the state-of-the-art of charged macromolecules. Presents information on a broad range of topics, from computer simulation of small ion distribution about a polyion to the complex behavior of concentrated solutions and gels. Examines macro-ion theory, synthesis and characterization, condensation and complexation, solution structure, surface adsorptions and interfaces, and gels.

Focuses on magnetic resonance methods for characterizing solid carbonaceous fuels. Covers 2-D methods, high-resolution 13C and 1H NMR (CRAMPS) analyses, dynamic nuclear polarization techniques, temperature-dependent relaxation measurements, chemical methods to improve quantitative reliability, ultrafast MAS methods, and new signal enhancement techniques. Discusses topics of current interest in the areas of ESR, including spin-echo methods, 1-D and 2-D pulses EST techniques, relaxation time measurements, and ultrahigh frequency measurements. Measurements are made on a set of Argonne Premium Coal samples to compare different magnetic resonance techniques on a homogeneous set of carbonaceous fuel samples.

Presents various roles for mass spectrometry in the detection and characterization of microorganisms. Features GC-MS for clinical diagnosis of viral infection. Summarizes the status of detection of biological agents and of modifications in ribonucleic acids in microorganisms. Also describes electrospray, laser desorption, and tandem mass spectrometry for protein processing and modification in viruses. Includes discussion of membrane liposaccharide structures in pathogenic bacteria.

Presents discussions on state-of-the-art techniques and instrumentation used for atmospheric measurements. Summarizes progress in a variety of areas of atmospheric research and identifies areas that should now be addressed by the research community. Provides in-depth coverage of the measurement of both aerosols and gases. Reviews techniques for measuring species in the troposphere and mesophere.

Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronics, control engineering and computer science in the design process. The unifying theme for the course is the integration of these key areas into a successful mechatronic design. This course studies in depth the key areas of technology on which successful mechatronic designs are based and thus lays the foundation for the students to become true mechatronic engineers.

Technicians, laboratory personnel, designers, purchasers and salespeople agree--if you work for a metals-related company, you need this basic reference for the non-metallurgist? It's written for beginners as well as those who need to refresh their understanding of a particular topic. Well-illustrated and indexed, the book makes technical subjects easy to understand and provides a complete glossary of metallurgical terms.

Covers all the topics in metals and metals-production processes! The first three sections include a glossary of 3000 terms, frequently used engineering tables giving data on the physical properties of the elements and standard ferrous and nonferrous alloys; conversion tables; articles on crystal structure, physical and mechanical properties, and phase diagrams; and criteria used in selecting alloys for design purposes.The next major part is on properties and selection. The last major part covers testing and inspection.

This book provides the facts needed to draw on or develop new interconnection technologies. It presents the new directions of these emerging technologies along with well established but widely dispersed classical results which remain relevant to the development of new interconnection/packaging techniques.

An important keepsake reference for any chemist, this volume puts at your fingertips 60 of the most pivotal papers published in Analytical Chemistry from 1935 to the present. Organized by decade, each section features full-color illustrations and insightful synopses of the science, politics, and popular culture in which the evolution of analytical chemistry took place. Each paper is preceded by expert commentary, written by prominent scientists, that provides a practical context for understanding the importance of the work.
