Synthesizing research from a wide variety of sources, this work offers a convenient guide to a clean, safe, inexpensive, non-toxic, non-polluting solvent that performs better than most conventional solvents. Natural Extracts Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide reviews recent development in the technology and its applications to the food, flavor, fragrance, and pharmaceutical industries. It outlines the many advantages the method has over traditional methods like steam distillation, solvent extraction, and molecular distillation and it supports the popular trend toward the use of natural products in these industries.

Based on courses taught at the Indian Institute of Technology, this book unifies two concepts, vibration of mechanical Systems and structural dynamics, in an integrated manner. The editor follows an intuitive pedagogy introducing fundamentals and moving on to more advanced concepts. It includes numerous examples and reviews the most useful computer software. Additional topics include free vibration of Single degree of freedom, system forced vibration of single degree of freedom system, numerical methods in structural analysis, vibration of two degrees of freedom, system free vibration of multiple degrees of freedom, and system forced vibration analysis of multiple degrees of freedom systems.
