The book presents concepts and equations of equilibrium
thermodynamics or thermostatics. Key features that distinguish this
book from others on chemical engineering thermodynamics are: a
mathematical treatment of the developments leading to the discovery
of the internal energy and entropy; a clear distinction between the
classical thermodynamics of Carnot, Clausius and Kelvin and the
thermostatics of Gibbs; an intensive/specific variable formalism
from which the extensive variable formalism is obtained as a
special case; a systematic method of obtaining the central
equations of thermostatics with the use of the implicit/inverse
function theorems and the chain rule. Please note: Taylor &
Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India,

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 14th
International Scandinavian Symposium and Workshops on Algorithm
Theory, SWAT 2014, held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2014. The
33 papers were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 134
submissions. The papers present original research and cover a wide
range of topics in the field of design and analysis of algorithms
and data structures including but not limited to approximation
algorithms, parameterized algorithms, computational biology,
computational geometry and topology, distributed algorithms,
external-memory algorithms, exponential algorithms, graph
algorithms, online algorithms, optimization algorithms, randomized
algorithms, streaming algorithms, string algorithms, sublinear
algorithms and algorithmic game theory.

This book constitutes the joint refereed proceedings of the 14th
International Workshop on Approximation Algorithms for
Combinatorial Optimization Problems, APPROX 2011, and the 15th
International Workshop on Randomization and Computation, RANDOM
2011, held in Princeton, New Jersey, USA, in August 2011. The
volume presents 29 revised full papers of the APPROX 2011 workshop,
selected from 66 submissions, and 29 revised full papers of the
RANDOM 2011 workshop, selected from 64 submissions. They were
carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. In
addition two abstracts of invited talks are included. APPROX
focuses on algorithmic and complexity issues surrounding the
development of efficient approximate solutions to computationally
difficult problems. RANDOM is concerned with applications of
randomness to computational and combinatorial problems.
Coulson and Richardson's Chemical Engineering: Volume 3A: Chemical
and Biochemical Reactors and Reaction Engineering, Fourth Edition,
covers reactor design, flow modelling, gas-liquid and gas-solid
reactions and reactors.
Public relations is a distinctive management function which helps
establish and maintain mutual lines of communication,
understanding, acceptance and cooperation between an organization
and its publics; involves the management of problems or issues;
helps management to keep informed and responsive to public opinion;
defines and emphasizes the responsibility of management to serve
the public interest; helps management to keeps abreast of and
effectively utilize change, serving as an early warning system to
anticipate trends; and uses research and sound and ethical
communication techniques as its principal tools. In this context
this study tries to explore two-fold path. The first attempts to
understand the way Public Relations and Corporate Communication
departments are structured in organizations and the functions they
perform in meeting the challenges of contingent environments. The
second focuses on the management-induced constraints, if any,
experienced by Public Relations or Corporate Communication
personnel. core focus area of this book is to, broadly explore the
structure and functions of Public Relations/Corporate Communication
departments of small and large industries.
With the advent of approximation algorithms for NP-hard
combinatorial optimization problems, several techniques from exact
optimization such as the primal-dual method have proven their
staying power and versatility. This book describes a simple and
powerful method that is iterative in essence, and similarly useful
in a variety of settings for exact and approximate optimization.
The authors highlight the commonality and uses of this method to
prove a variety of classical polyhedral results on matchings,
trees, matroids, and flows. The presentation style is elementary
enough to be accessible to anyone with exposure to basic linear
algebra and graph theory, making the book suitable for introductory
courses in combinatorial optimization at the upper undergraduate
and beginning graduate levels. Discussions of advanced applications
illustrate their potential for future application in research in
approximation algorithms.
