Electrochemical Activation of Catalysis: Promotion, Electrochemical Promotion, and Metal-Support Interactions

Book Description

This book describes the phenomenology, theory and potential applications of the phenomenon of electrochemical promotion, where electrochemically induced ion spillover activates and controls heterogeneous catalysis. The origin of electrochemical promotion is discussed in light of a plethora of surface spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques. Electrochemical and classical promotion are compared, their common rules are identified and promotional kinetics are rigorously modeled and compared with experiment.

Book Description

The time has come for an assessment of the most important techniques for the fabrication of advanced catalysts. Catalyst production alone is more than a billion dollar business each year, and the product value of chemical processes using advanced catalysts is a few trillion dollars annually. This book seeks to provide a modern, materials science account of the best and most current techniques for the synthesis of advanced catalytic materials.
Until now, there has been no single book which contains a definitive and comprehensive description of the important technologies for catalyst synthesis within the context of modern materials science. Academic researchers both in the catalytic sciences and materials sciences must have the best synthesis technologies available to accomplish the preparation of solid-state materials of specific structure and morphology. Althugh the emphasis is on new synthetic techniques for catalytic applications, the bookpresents all of the important technologies for the fabrication of electronic and structural ceramics, and superconductors.

Good introduction to bifurcation in chemical engineering.......2004-01-06

The first two chapters give a introduction to bifurcation and is easy to read and understand for a chemical engineer.
Explanation of the theory is nicely represented bij graphs.
It always keeps in mind that it is for chemical engineers and therefore does not go into detail on the numerical analysis.
The latter 2 chapter I did not use.
But overal a good book for bifurcation and modelling for chemical engineers.

The best introduction to surface science.......2006-05-17

This is a short, introductory book on surface science literally. It is very much suitable for undergraduate science and engineering students. It may sound too light for graduate students. However, if you are looking for a very simple and fundamental book, this is what you need.

A lot of basic topics are discussed very successfully such as ultrahigh vacuum technology (UHV), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), photoemission, adsorption and the like.

The attached CD contains a great deal of fun, illustrative and instructive schemes, charts etc. It really enhances the overall quality of the book.

Book Description

The interaction of waves with obstacles is an everyday phenomenon in science and engineering, arising for example in acoustics, electromagnetism, seismology and hydrodynamics. The mathematical theory and technology needed to understand the phenomenon is known as multiple scattering, and this book is the first devoted to the subject. The author covers a variety of techniques, describing first the single-obstacle methods and then extending them to the multiple-obstacle case. A key ingredient in many of these extensions is an appropriate addition theorem: a coherent, thorough exposition of these theorems is given, and computational and numerical issues around them are explored. The application of these methods to different types of problems is also explained; in particular, sound waves, electromagnetic radiation, waves in solids and water waves. A comprehensive bibliography of some 1400 items rounds off the book, which will be an essential reference on the topic for applied mathematicians, physicists and engineers.

Book Description

Danny Williams didn't mean to be a lawyer, but somehow he is -- and for up to eighteen hours a day. He's well paid, home owning, and twenty-seven but is also overworked, lonely, and frequently stoned. The plan was to leave the troubles of a small town in Northern Ireland for the big city in England, but one evening an old school friend, Geordie, bursts into Danny's shiny new life. On the run from a Loyalist militia, Geordie brings everything Danny thought he had left behind and dumps it on his doorstep.

With infectious wit and energy to burn, Utterly Monkey is a searing, fiercely funny, and ultimately redemptive novel about surviving an office job, outwitting the bad guys, and, hopefully, getting the girl.

Customer Reviews:

Terrific novel.......2007-10-09

I found this a terrifickly well realized novel, driven less by plot than by the characters' ambivalent relationships to their various backgrounds, which collide in the life of the laconic, but sensitive, narrator. It's not lad lit as usual, but carefully staged observations about those things that swirl around and within us. The last few scenes contain, certainly, some of the weaker ones of the novel, but there's something of interest on every page. Laird's just a wonderful writer; the real thing.

Enjoyable book.......2006-09-29

I really enjoyed this book. It is not a work of genius. It will not change your life. Nevertheless, it was interesting, funny, and even a little exciting. In all honesty, if you don't laugh at the story that sparks the fist fight between Geordie and Danny, you would never have liked this book anyway. I look forward to Laird's next novel.

I would take with a grain of salt reviews (such as the booklist review above) that do not understand that the IRA is a Republican organization, and all of the Irish characters in this book are Protestants, and Unionists. That error means they missed one of the interesting things about this book. It is one of the rare instances of a book set, in part, in Northern Ireland told from the Protestant perspective. That is a serious gap in a reviewer's understanding. Ditto all of the "lad lit" descriptions. Lad mags, at least, are for 20 something kids trying to feel sophisticated. The point of Danny's redemption is not meant for those kids. They won't understand it. Only after you've had the opportunity to sell your soul for work a few times will it make sense. Hence, the work cannot possibly be for "lads."

Promising first novel, fresh voice.......2006-09-05

What's most distinctive about "Utterly Monkey" is its voice -detached and ironic, smirking, a bit boozy. Laird has a gift for quirky turns of phrase and idiomatic goofiness. The plot is of not much consequence, and character development is a fairly flat arc - there are interesting characterizations here but the novel's actors tend to blur into the same voice.

"Monkey" occasionally rises to level of quality writing, and Laird shows some serious promise.

Crime caper crossed with Hornby.......2006-06-04

The author, Nick Laird hails from Northern Ireland and worked as a lawyer before turning to writing full time. The protagonist of Utterly Monkey, Danny Williams, hails from Northern Ireland and works as a dissilusioned lawyer. Like many first novels, this one has more than a smidgin of the autobiographical about it.

Danny is 27 affable, handsome and a rising professional. He pursues the gorgeous Ellen, a black trainee in his law firm and seeks respite from the monotony of his job but this is hard when you are plagued by visits from old friends from flintier times in Northern Ireland who tell your would be girlfriend about the time you had intercourse with a girl immediately after she has excreted in an alleyway.

Linked in with all this is a complex crime plot revolving around a stolen £50,000 from loyalist terrorists culminating in a car chase through London with an unexploded bomb in a van. A car chase, I ask you - In a modern novel - What's the point of that when film does this thing much better? Utterly Monkey reads like a Guy Ritchie crime caper, but the problem with novels written with one eye on a screenplay is that the writing, in its novelistic vessel, invariably suffers.

The novel is high style lad lit. Mixed in with the Nick Hornby style narrative about young man trying to make his way in metropolitan London jungle are some fine phrases. Good descriptions of Magic Circle law life and a well done party and sex scene. Laird the poet comes out in occasional flashes, although his talent for metaphor hardly rivals masters such as Nabokov and Updike.

All in all. Not great. But Laird will surely improve in later works.

enjoyable without being memorable.......2006-04-17

Laird enters a crowded field of Belfast writers, and though he lacks Colin Bateman's ability to contrive wild plots, R. McLiam Wilson's lyrical brilliance, and the bitter real politik of the dramatist Gary Mitchell, Laird provides a readable addition to the literature of "The Armed Peace."

Depicting disaffected, drifting Prods in the cultural landscape in which the Catholic nationalists are perceived to have won, his plot largely depends upon generic, predictable tropes--the jaded young London lawyer who has a change of heart that motivates him to sabotage a predatory corporate takeover, and the same jaded young lawyer locked into a bitter (though seemingly arbitrary) oedipal struggle with the firm's senior partner. But the major contrivance is this same lawyer falling in love with the firm's exotic and beautiful young lawyer--first feeling in awe of her, bedding her only to find that she has recently ended an affair with his bete noire senior partner, irrationally and brutally rejecting her, and eventually recognizing his error and reconciling with her. (One wonders and never knows what she sees in this lackluster drudge.) Very ho-hum and predictable.

Perhaps the larger disappointment is with how generic the Belfast landscape is. Although Laird is an Ulsterman and chooses the most emotionally charged an dangerous setting for a large section of his novel (the 12th of July!), this lawyer and his love cruise through the Belfast environs without ever seeing a bonfire, a police barricade, an armed standoff complete with watercanons and shockwalls, or any of the threatening mess that tends to mark this week each year. No, this couple motor around the area as if it were a forgetable spring day, and bar-hop through Belfast without seeing a paramilitary roadblock, any of the many shops annually boarded up by its owner in anticipation of the 12th, or even smelling the faint odor from a city full of bonfires.
