The Fischer-Tropsch process is gaining recognition again due to the world-wide increase in energy needs and decrease in oil availability. The increasing interest in utilizing biomass as a potential renewable feedstock in energy generation is further supporting this development. The book covers the production and refining of Fischer-Tropsch syncrude to fuels and chemicals systematically and comprehensively, presenting a wealth of new knowledge and material. As such, it deals extensively with aspects of engineering, chemistry and catalysis. This handbook and ready reference adopts a fundamental approach, looking at the molecules and their transformation from feed to product. Numerous examples illustrate the possibilities and limitations of Fischer-Tropsch syncrude as feesdstock. Of great interest to everyone interested in refining – not just Fischer-Tropsch specialists. From the Contents: Fischer-Tropsch Facilities and Refineries at a Glance Production of Fischer-Tropsch Syncrude Industrial Fischer-Tropsch Facilities Synthetic Transportation Fuels Refining Technology Refinery Design

Jede Entwurfsaufgabe beinhaltet für den planenden Ingenieur neue Herausforderungen. Bei der Findung einer adäquaten Lösung sind bereits realisierte Bauwerke oft eine wertvolle Inspirationsquelle in technischer und gestalterischer Hinsicht. Denn von Bauwerken mit ähnlich gearteten Randbedingungen lassen sich Lösungsansätze für die eigene, aktuell gestellte Planungsaufgabe ableiten. Mit dieser Broschüre liegt nun eine Arbeitshilfe für den Bereich der Eisenbahnbrücken vor, in der entwurfsrelevante Informationen über realisierte außergewöhnliche Bauwerke in übersichtlicher Form zusammengestellt sind. 25 Brücken meist kleiner und mittlerer Spannweite werden mit technischen Daten, Fotos sowie Planauszügen vorgestellt. Das Gros der Bauwerke befindet sich in Deutschland, es werden aber auch Brücken präsentiert, die in Österreich, den Niederlanden, Frankreich bzw. Spanien gebaut wurden. Die Brücken wurden innerhalb der letzten 15 Jahre errichtet und befinden sich im Regelbetrieb. Die Auswahl der Projekte erfolgte so, dass eine große Bandbreite an Tragwerkstypen, Bauverfahren und Detaillösungen abgedeckt wird. Somit hat die Beispielsammlung ein breites Anwendungsfeld und ist für alle am Entwurf von Eisenbahnbrücken Beteiligten hilfreich und nützlich.

This new and completely revised third edition is a concise, systematic and highly practical guide to the care of patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Clinically and problem-based, it covers emergency, inpatient and ambulatory diabetes care in the hospital and community, focusing particularly on difficult, grey and contentious areas of management, and seeks to guide advanced practitioners through problems that are not always emphasised. Up to date clinical trial results have been incorporated, as well as concise discussions of lifestyle approaches to diabetes management, and it includes a new chapter on psychological problems in diabetes. It is now fully referenced with PubMed PMID numbers and all HbA1c measurements are quoted in DCCT and IFCC units. It will be valuable for foundation year and specialist trainees in general medicine, diabetes and endocrinology; community and hospital diabetes specialist nurses and nurse practitioners; hospital-based ward staff in specialist and non-diabetes-specialist departments, especially cardiology and emergency medicine; and general practice diabetes leads and general practitioners with a specialist diabetes interest. It will be equally valuable for hands-on reference use in the clinical situation, and for clinicians in hospital medicine and general practice studying for postgraduate diplomas and examinations.
