Volume 23 of Advances in Chemical Engineering covers the active
field of process synthesis. There are currently three prevelant
approaches to complex process synthesis strategies:
heuristics-based selection, geometric representation, and
optimization methods. This volume addresses a variety of these
synthesis strategies for process subsystems, representing only a
sample of the state-of-the-art of process synthesis research. The
five papers in this volume address quite different process
subsystems and application areas but still combine basic concepts
related to a systematic approach. All five of the papers develop
successful synthesis methods for their respective cutting-edge
applications. As a group, the papers serve to highlight many
unresolved issues in process synthesis and also provide guidelines
for future research.
Key Features
* Considers current approaches to process synthesis problems
* Examines areas of possible future research
* Articles written by leading experts in the field
Volumes 21 and 22 of Advances in Chemical Engineering contain ten
prototypical paradigms which integrate ideas and methodologies from
artificial intelligence with those from operations research,
estimation andcontrol theory, and statistics. Each paradigm has
been constructed around an engineering problem, e.g. product
design, process design, process operations monitoring, planning,
scheduling, or control. Along with the engineering problem, each
paradigm advances a specific methodological theme from AI, such as:
modeling languages; automation in design; symbolic and quantitative
reasoning; inductive and deductive reasoning; searching spaces of
discrete solutions; non-monotonic reasoning; analogical
learning;empirical learning through neural networks; reasoning in
time; and logic in numerical computing. Together the ten paradigms
of the two volumes indicate how computers can expand the scope,
type, and amount of knowledge that can be articulated and used in
solving a broad range of engineering problems.
Key Features
* Sets the foundations for the development of computer-aided tools
for solving a number of distinct engineering problems
* Exposes the reader to a variety of AI techniques in automatic
modeling, searching, reasoning, and learning
* The product of ten-years experience in integrating AI into
process engineering
* Offers expanded and realistic formulations of real-world problems

Advances in Chemical Engineering, Volume 19 reflects the major
impact of chemical engineering on medical practice, with chapters
covering polymer systems for controlled release, receptor binding
and signaling, and transport phenomena in tumors. Other key topics
include oil refining, pollution prevention in engineering design,
and atmospheric dynamics.
Each volume in the Exegetical Summaries series works through the
original text phrase by phrase. English equivalents are provided
for all Hebrew and Greek words, making this an excellent reference
for exegetes of all levels. Questions that occur to exegetes as
they study the text are stated and then answered by summarizing the
ways many scholars have interpreted the text. This information
should help translators or students in making their own exegetical
decisions. As a basis for discussion, a semi-literal translation of
the text is given. The first question to be answered is the meaning
of key words in context. Information from standard lexicons is
given and then translations of the word are cited from a dozen
major Bible versions and from commentaries that offer their own
translations of the text. Questions about the grammar and discourse
structure of the original languages are answered by summarizing the
views of many commentators. When exegetical disagreements appear in
the commentaries and versions, the various interpretations are
listed. This book is not intended to replace the commentaries that
are consulted. Rather than being a stand-alone commentary, this
book summarizes many important details of exegesis that should be
considered in studying the biblical text. John Anderson has served
as a translation consultant with SIL since 1972. He completed the
translation of the New Testament for the Northern Paiute people of
Nevada in 1986. He has spent twenty years in Eastern Africa with
Mother Tongue Translation Teams and training consultants through
mentoring.
