The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition Feature

Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this technology. In this new, updated second edition editor Mool Gupta is joined by John Ballato, strengthening the handbook with their combined knowledge and the continued contributions of world-class researchers.

New in the Second Edition:

Information on optical fiber technology and the economic impact of photonics

Coverage of emerging technologies in nanotechnology

Sections on optical amplifiers, and polymeric optical materials

The book covers photonics materials, devices, and systems, respectively. An introductory chapter, new to this edition, provides an overview of photonics technology, innovation, and economic development. Resting firmly on the foundation set by the first edition, this new edition continues to serve as a source for introductory material and a collection of published data for research and training in this field, making it the reference of first resort.

CRC Handbook of Parvoviruses, Volume I Feature

This comprehensive two-volume review reflects the period of transition in the scientific community with respect to the interest in all genera of parvoviruses. More recently, the availability of sophisticated analytical methods have associated parvoviruses with important disearses in animals and in humans. Research interest in parvaviruses is shifting from the molecular aspects of the virus itself to its molecular biology and its infection process, and to virus control-all attributable to the increased link between these viruses and disease. These illustrated texts cover the field and include a section devoted to study techniques specific to parvoviruses.

Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control, 3rd Edition, Third Edition Feature

The Handbook of Chemical Technology and Pollution Control (3rd Edition) provides a detailed review of the chemistry and operating conditions of many of the present large-scale chemical processes important to our economy and high standards of living. The processes that could lead to emissions affecting our air, soil, and water are considered, together with ways in which it may be possible to reduce or eliminate these pollutants. Focusing on cleaner production concepts without neglecting 'end of pipe' measures. With an increase in the awareness of corporate and social responsibility among business and industry leaders, the pressure to reduce harmful emissions and the desire to increase efficiencies and energy utilization, this book provides an essential resource. Suitable for researchers, practitioners and postgraduate students in the fields of chemical and biochemical engineering and environmental science, as well as government monitoring and regulatory agencies and industry leaders who want to stay one step ahead, this book will be a valuable addition to any library.

* Integrated treatment of chemical technology with emission control chemistry
* Introductory outline of the causes and effects of air and water pollution chemistry
* Outline of the operating features and efficiency of basic emission control devices
* Historical background of developments in industrial chemistry to 2004 in a single volume
* Organized for easy access to chemical technology, new developments, or emission control details
* Referenced to current additional sources of information in each area covered
* Review questions provide working experience with the material provided
