Detailed study of the rates and mechanisms of combustion reactions has not been in the mainstream of combustion research until the recent recognition that further progress in optimizing burner performance and reducing pollutant emission can only be done with fundamental understanding of combustion chemistry. This has become apparent at a time when our understanding of the chemistry, at least of small-molecule combustion, and our ability to model combustion processes on large computers have developed to the point that real confidence can be placed in the results. This book is an introduction for outsiders or beginners as well as a reference work for people already active in the field. Because the spectrum of combustion scientists ranges from chemists with little computing experience to engineers who have had only one college chemistry course, everything needed to bring all kinds of beginners up to the level of current practice in detailed combustion modeling is included. It was a temptation to include critical discussions of modeling results and computer programs that would enable outsiders to start quickly into problem solving. We elected not to do either, because we feel that the former are better put into the primary research literature and that people who are going to do combustion modeling should either write their own programs or collaborate with experts. The only exception to this is in the thermochemical area, where programs have been included to do routine fitting operations. For reference purposes there are tables of thermochemical, transport-property, and rate coefficient data."

Die Fibrinklebung ist zur lokalen HAmostase und zur Wundversorgung in vielen operativen Disziplinen zu einem Routineverfahren geworden. Das vorliegende Buch enthAlt die BeitrAge eines Symposiums, das sich speziell mit Indikation, Technik und den Ergebnissen dieser Methode aufgrund experimenteller und klinischer Untersuchungen in der Plastischen Chirurgie und Verbrennungschirurgie beschAftigte. Neue Indikationen, wie z.B. in der Tumorchirurgie und Asthetischen Chirurgie werden diskutiert. Jeder operativ tAtige Arzt erhAlt damit eine umfassende, aktuelle und kritische Orientierung A1/4ber MAglichkeiten, Grenzen und Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse dieser neuen operativen Technik.
