Mass Spectra of Designer Drugs: Including Precursors, Medicinal Drugs and Chemical Warfare Agents, 2 Volume Set
Date: Jan 11, 2007
Author: Peter Rösner, Thomas Junge, Folker Westphal, Giselher Fritschi
Based on the authors' several decades of professional experience, this unique data collection is tailor-made for criminal and forensic investigators. It contains 8,800 mass spectrum records obtained from 4,379 compounds categorized as either designer or medicinal drugs, chemical warfare agents or explosives. It even covers those substances yet to be recorded by the police, but which are likely to be encountered by crime prevention and investigation authorities, in both the areas of illicit drugs and...

Wastewater Quality Monitoring and Treatment
Date: Nov 17, 2006
Author: Philippe P. Quevauviller, Olivier Thomas, Andre Van Der Beken
The issue of water quality monitoring is becoming a huge area as the EU requirements for cleaner water increase. On-line monitoring involves measuring a body of water constantly and in-situ as opposed to analysing samples in the lab. Currently filling the gap in the market, Wastewater Quality Monitoring: On-line Methods provides information on how to produce the best analyses of wastewater in order to meet the above mentioned requirements. This reference will prove invaluable to all local water...

Light-Matter Interaction: Atoms and Molecules in External Fields and Nonlinear Optics
Date: Nov 3, 2006
Author: Wendell T. Hill, III, Chi H. Lee
This book draws together the principal ideas that form the basis of atomic, molecular, and optical science and engineering. It covers the basics of atoms, diatomic molecules, atoms and molecules in static and electromagnetic fields and nonlinear optics. Exercises and bibliographies supplement each chapter, while several appendices present such important background information as physics and math definitions, atomic and molecular data, and tensor algebra. Accessible to advanced undergraduates, graduate...

Introduction to Computational Chemistry, 2nd Edition
Date: Oct 20, 2006
Author: Frank Jensen
Introduction to Computational Chemistry Second Edition provides a comprehensive account of the fundamental principles underlying different methods, ranging from classical to the sophisticated. Although comprehensive in its coverage, this textbook focuses on calculating molecular structures and (relative) energies and less on molecular properties or dynamical aspects. No prior knowledge of concepts specific to computational chemistry are assumed, but the reader will need some understanding of introductory...

Environmental Chemistry at a Glance
Date: Jul 7, 2006
Author: Ian Pulford, Hugh Flowers
Environmental chemistry is an increasingly popular option on many chemistry courses, is a degree subject in its own right at some institutions, and is a key part of many environmental, earth and life science courses. Environmental Chemistry at a Glance illustrates both the operation of chemical processes in the environment and their integration with physical and biological processes. While the emphasis is on environmental chemical processes, the material in the book is placed in the wider context of the...
