This book sets out to bridge the order scales among pike
researchers, populations, communities, management, and fisheries.
It emphasizes the progress of pike research during the last two
decades, during which the order-bridging approach emerged. This
framework underpins the text and the message, to convey its
importance to pike research and to fish research in general. In
addition, a considerable part of the book is devoted to management
implications and highlights aspects of human dimensions in
recreational fisheries.

Molecular surface science has made enormous progress in the past 30
years. The development can be characterized by a revolution in
fundamental knowledge obtained from simple model systems and by an
explosion in the number of experimental techniques. The last 10
years has seen an equally rapid development of quantum mechanical
modeling of surface processes using Density Functional Theory
(DFT).
Chemical Bonding at Surfaces and Interfaces focuses on phenomena
and concepts rather than on experimental or theoretical techniques.
The aim is to provide the common basis for describing the
interaction of atoms and molecules with surfaces and this to be
used very broadly in science and technology.
The book begins with an overview of structural information on
surface adsorbates and discusses the structure of a number of
important chemisorption systems. Chapter 2 describes in detail the
chemical bond between atoms or molecules and a metal surface in the
observed surface structures. A detailed description of experimental
information on the dynamics of bond-formation and bond-breaking at
surfaces make up Chapter 3. Followed by an in-depth analysis of
aspects of heterogeneous catalysis based on the d-band model. In
Chapter 5 adsorption and chemistry on the enormously important Si
and Ge semiconductor surfaces are covered. In the remaining two
Chapters the book moves on from solid-gas interfaces and looks at
solid-liquid interface processes. In the final chapter an overview
is given of the environmentally important chemical processes
occurring on mineral and oxide surfaces in contact with water and
electrolytes.
* Gives examples of how modern theoretical DFT techniques can be
used to design heterogeneous catalysts
* This book suits the rapid introduction of methods and concepts
from surface science into a broad range of scientific disciplines
where the interaction between a solid and the surrounding gas or
liquid phase is an essential component
* Shows how insight into chemical bonding at surfaces can be
applied to a range of scientific problems in heterogeneous
catalysis, electrochemistry, environmental science and
semiconductor processing
* Provides both the fundamental perspective and an overview of
chemical bonding in terms of structure, electronic structure and
dynamics of bond rearrangements at surfaces
Fit-for-purpose is a phrase familiar to all users of analytical
data, who need to be assured that data provided by laboratories is
both appropriate and of the required quality. Quality in the Food
Analysis Laboratory surveys the procedures that a food analysis
laboratory must consider to meet such requirements. The need to
introduce quality assurance, the different quality models that are
available and the legislative requirements are considered. Specific
aspects of laboratory practice and particular areas of
accreditation which may cause problems for analytical laboratories
are also discussed. Covering for the first time those areas of
direct importance to food analysis laboratories, this unique book
will serve as an aid to those laboratories when introducing new
measures and justifying those chosen.
This is a set of Three volume books:Vibro-Acoustics, Volume 1,
Second Edition; Vibro-Acoustics, Volume 2, Second Edition;
Vibro-Acoustics, Volume 3, Second Edition. This three-volume book
gives a thorough and comprehensive presentation of vibration and
acoustic theories. Different from traditional textbooks which
typically deal with some aspects of either acoustic or vibration
problems, it is unique of this book to combine those two correlated
subjects together. Moreover, it provides fundamental analysis and
mathematical descriptions for several crucial phenomena of
Vibro-Acoustics which are quite useful in noise reduction,
including how structures are excited, energy flows from an
excitation point to a sound radiating surface, and finally how a
structure radiates noise to a surrounding fluid. Many measurement
results included in the text make the reading interesting and
informative. Problems/questions are listed at the end of each
chapter and the solutions are provided. This will help the readers
to understand the topics of Vibro-Acoustics more deeply. The book
should be of interest to anyone interested in sound and vibration,
vehicle acoustics, ship acoustics and interior aircraft noise.
