Wavelet Transformations and Their Applications in Chemistry pioneers a new approach to classifying existing chemometric techniques for data analysis in one and two dimensions, using a practical applications approach to illustrating chemical examples and problems. Written in a simple, balanced, applications-based style, the book is geared to both theorists and non-mathematicians. This text emphasizes practical applications in chemistry. It employs straightforward language and examples to show the power of wavelet transforms without overwhelming mathematics, reviews other methods, and compares wavelets with other techniques that provide similar capabilities. It uses examples illustrated in MATLAB codes to assist chemists in developing applications, and includes access to a supplementary Web site providing code and data sets for work examples. Wavelet Transformations and Their Applications in Chemistry will prove essential to professionals and students working in analytical chemistry and process chemistry, as well as physical chemistry, spectroscopy, and statistics.

Ein guter Vortrag ist nicht nur eine Sache der personlichen Begabung oder Ausstrahlung des Redners. Dahinter steckt, nicht minder wichtig, viel harte Arbeit und das notige Wissen. Dieses Wissen um die beste Vortragstechnik haben die Autoren in anregender Form zusammengestellt und schopfen dabei aus ihrem eigenen reichen Erfahrungsschatz als Redner vor ganz unterschiedlichen Zuhorerschaften. Die dritte Auflage dieses Standardwerks zum wissenschaftlichen Vortragen wurde im Hinblick auf die modernen Bildbearbeitungs- und Projektionstechniken durchgehend aktualisiert und erganzt. Noch eindringlicher als zuvor gehen die Autoren auf die Wechselbeziehungen zwischen Vortragendem und Auditorium ein, sie machen die Horer zu Mitwirkenden. Dem Leser wird alle nur erdenkliche Hilfe bei der Vorbereitung fur seinen ersten – oder nachsten – offentlichen Vortrag zuteil, aber auch «alte Hasen» werden hier noch viel Neues entdecken. Stimmen zum Buch «au?ergewohnlich lehrreich und doch nicht belehrend; die lockere Art der Darstellung macht das Lesen zu einer wahren Freude» (Nahrung / Food) «eine au?erst hilfreiche Anleitung zur Bewaltigung technischer Klippen bereits weit im Vorfeld des offentlichen Ernstfalles» (Physik in unserer Zeit) «beschreibt mit bestechender Grundlichkeit und gro?em didaktischen Geschick, was bei der Vorbereitung und Durchfuhrung eines Vortrags alles falsch gemacht werden kann und daher zu beachten ist» (Arzneimittel-Forschung)

In the demanding professional world of today nothing counts more than the art of phrasing and presenting your own thoughts in words and pictures. Here the scope ranges from seminar lectures as a student to business meetings and public discussions and to being the official speaker at a conference. An experienced team of authors deals with all these demands (which may quite well be technical in nature) in this book. Their emphasis here is on speeches at conferences and congresses that are supported by visual aids. The First Edition of this book was received so well by scientists and business people that a Second Edition followed after only two years. Topics are dealt with in more detail, and further personal experiences of the authors in giving presentations are woven into the more theoretical information. A humorous style and numerous cartoons ensure that the material – in all its density – is presented in an entertaining and effective manner. Public speaking is, after all, not only a subject to be learned and taught – it is also a very human experience. In both of these areas this book offers assistance and stimulation.

An introduction to the science of nanoparticles, from fundamental principles to their use in novel applications. As a basis for understanding nanoparticle behavior, the book first outlines the principles of quantum size behavior, nanoparticles architecture, formation of semiconductor and metal nanoparticles. It then goes on to describe the chemical syntheses of nanoparticles with defined characteristics, their structural, electrical and magnetic properties, as well as current methods to monitor these properties. Among others, the following nanoparticle-based applications are discussed: * Single-electron devices * Ultra dense recording media * Bioelectronic devices and sensors * Labeling of proteins, nucleic acids and other biomaterials. With its clear structure and comprehensive coverage, backed by numerous examples from the recent literature, this is a prime reference for chemists and materials scientists working with and developing nanoparticle systems.
