The removal of contaminants and pollutants from natural or valuable materials is a critical issue in environmental management and conservation. Fundamentally the procedure consists of measures employed to separate what is good (recyclable materials soil and sediments) from what is bad (non recyclable materials contaminants).A perspective of current technologies developed for mineral processing is of great assistance for finding appro Read More

This e-book presents several basic methods and results of order theory that are currently used in various branches of mathematics. It presents topics that require a broad explanation in a concise and attractive way. Readers will easily identify problems/techniques/solutions without the frustration of long searches through previous notations definitions and results. It begins with a sketch of axiomatic set theory and of the theory of categories. The fundamental Read More

This eBook presents a summary of central aspects of sialobiology (i.e. the study of sialic acid and its relevance to biology). The importance of substitution by the sugar sialic acid and the role played by sialylated structures (eg. glycoproteins glycolipids glycoconjugates) in immune recognition neural cell growth embryogenesis and disease development including microbial pathogenesis and cancer progression has become well-established.Since 1995 the fi Read More

Face recognition has several applications including security such as (authentication and identification of device users and criminal suspects) and in medicine (corrective surgery and diagnosis). Facial recognition programs rely on algorithms that can compare and compute the similarity between two sets of images. This eBook explains some of the similarity measures used in facial recognition systems in a single volume. Readers will learn about various measu Read More

Single and two-phase flows are ubiquitous in most natural process and engineering systems. Examples of systems or process include packed bed reactors either single phase or multiphase absorber and adsorber separation columns filter beds plate heat exchangers flow of viscoelastic fluids in polymer systems or the enhanced recovery of oil among others.In each case the flow plays a central role in determining the system or process behavior and perfor Read More
