Series Highlights
Encyclopedia of Thermal Packaging Encyclopedia of Thermal Packaging

This encyclopedia will, thus, be of great interest to packaging engineers, electronic product development engineers, and product managers, as well as to researchers in thermal management of electronic and photonic components and systems, and most beneficial to undergraduate and graduate students studying mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering.

Handbook of Porphyrin Science Handbook of Porphyrin Science

Research in the area of porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related macrocycles continues to expand at a phenomenal rate with literally thousands of original articles being published every year in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology, material science and photodynamic therapy. The current volume comprehensively summarizes key aspects involved in the synthesis, characterization and use of these compounds, as well as computational methodologies for the design of novel tetrapyrroles whose structural and electronic properties are described. Each chapter is authored by an expert or group of experts in the field who were asked to write "a review for the ages" and we anticipate that what is written in this volume will remain relevant for at least the next 15 years, and possibly longer.

World Scientific Series on Carbon Nanoscience World Scientific Series on Carbon Nanoscience

The goal of this book series is to publish selected handbooks, graduate texts and stand-alone review monographs with specific themes, focusing on modern topics and new developments in experimental and theoretical physical chemistry and chemical physics. In review chapters, the authors are encouraged to provide a section on future developments and needs. The thematic coherence and depth of each volume in this series are what distinguish it from the several other book series already existing in physical chemistry. As such, this series should be especially useful to instructors of graduate-level courses and to graduate students.

Handbook Of Coastal And Ocean Engineering Handbook Of Coastal And Ocean Engineering
edited by Young C Kim (California State University, Los Angeles, USA)

This handbook contains a comprehensive compilation of topics that are at the forefront of many of the technical advances in ocean waves, coastal, and ocean engineering. More than 70 internationally recognized authorities in the field of coastal and ocean engineering have contributed articles on their areas of expertise to this handbook.

Engineering
Handbook of Environment and Waste Management Handbook Of PI And PID Controller Tuning Rules
(3rd Edition)
by Aidan O'Dwyer (Dublin Institute of Technology, Ireland)

The vast majority of automatic controllers used to compensate industrial processes are PI or PID type. This book comprehensively compiles, using a unified notation, tuning rules for these controllers proposed from 1935 to 2008.

"The handbook is an invaluable compendium for students of terrorism in the Asia-Pacific region over the past 70 years. It describes the nature and aspirations of the groups seeking to use force against both legitimate governments and innocent civilian populations, and analyses the responses of governments around the region. It will prove an essential companion for counter-terrorism experts across the region, providing accurate context against which they can understand and deal with the problem of terrorism on both a national and a cooperative regional basis. Its authors and contributors are to be commended for their comprehensive and intelligent contribution."

Handbook Of Terrorism In The Asia-Pacific Handbook Of Terrorism In The Asia-Pacific
edited by Rohan Gunaratna and Stefanie Kam (S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, NTU, Singapore)

This is a concise and readable handbook which examines the origins of the current wave of terrorism across countries in Southeast Asia, South Asia, Northeast Asia and the Pacific, and identifies emerging trends and new forms of terror that have altered the landscape and rendered the region increasingly vulnerable to asymmetric attacks.
