The first book on Localized Waves—a subject of phenomenal worldwide research with important applications from secure communications to medicine Localized waves—also known as non-diffractive waves—are beams and pulses capable of resisting diffraction and dispersion over long distances even in non-guiding media. Predicted to exist in the early 1970s and obtained theoretically and experimentally as solutions to the wave equations starting in 1992, localized waves now garner intense worldwide...

Heinrich Wieland (1877 – 1957, Nobelpreis 1927) gilt heute als einer der Pioniere der Naturstoff-, der Medizinal- und der Biochemie. Nicht nur hat er wegweisende Grundlagenforschung betrieben, sondern auch – ein fruhes Zeugnis akademisch-industrieller Kooperation – Arzneimittel entwickelt, die zum Teil noch heute bekannt sind. Und er war ein aufrechter Mensch, wie seine Doktorandin Hildegard Hamm-Brucher bezeugt: «Er war ein exzeptioneller Widersteher – … Er hatte sich vorgenommen, dass er es...

Pigs are snug-fitting plugs which are able to perform various maintenance tasks such as cleaning or removing deposits or blockages in pipe and pipeline systems from the inside. A gaseous or liquid propellant is used to push the pig through the system. This strategy avoids rinsing loss of valuable product, provides reduction of adverse environmental impacts, and gains high efficiency for less investment. The book describes clearly and methodically the important basic equipment required for the...

Incorporation of particular components with specialized properties allows one to tailor the end product's properties. For instance, the sensitivity, burning behavior, thermal or mechanical properties or stability of energetic materials can be affected and even controllably varied through incorporation of such ingredients. This book examines particle technologies as applied to energetic materials such as propellants and explosives, thus filling a void in the literature on this subject. Following...
