A New Approach to Estimation of Methane Emission Rates from LandfillsHan Zhu

Methane emission monitoring has become increasingly essential for diffusive area sources, especially for landfills, which contribute to a significant fraction of the total anthropogenic methane emission globally. In this study, a new method is proposed based on experimental results, which utilizes a TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) instrument – GasFinder2.0® system and a dispersion model LASAT (Lagrangian Simulation of Aerosol Transport) as the measurement device and calculation model, respectively. With this method, site-specific measurement approaches can be designed for not only landfills, but also different diffusive area sources with less workload and lower cost compared to conventional FID (Flame Ionization Detector) method.

Handbook of Heat Processing Fundamentals – Calculations – Processes 2Herbert Pfeifer

The second, fully revised and expanded edition of the Handbook of Heat Processing is now available, for the first time in its larger format, with four-color illustrations.

In the present time, with industrial furnace technology booming, on the one hand, and the costs of gaseous fuels and electrical energy rising steeply, on the other, interest in heat-processing technology has again increased. The rational use of energy in thermoprocessing technology is also of ever more crucial importance, as a result, not least of all, of CO2-emissions legislation. This, of course, provides the background to the necessity for technical works covering the topic of industrial thermal technology and thermoprocessing.

Basic Electromagnetic TheoryJames BabingtonBasic Electromagnetic Theory is designed as a concise introduction to electromagnetic field theory emphasizing the physical foundations of the subject. It is aimed at both undergraduates and interested laypersons. It has been based on the author’s experience both as a former field theorist (working on quantum electrodynamics) and currently as an applied optical physicist. As such, it covers much material from the standard university syllabus. It also develops a number of themes in greater detail, so as to cover a number of non-standard topics that provide a fuller understanding of the subject. A key aspect to the book is the macroscopic approach to the subject from the outset. Most readers will have some familiarity with the standard mathematics employed, but a review chapter is provided at the beginning to help give some guidance on these topics as they are used throughout the book.

F E A T U R E S :

• Designed as a concise introduction to electromagnetic field theory emphasizing the physical foundations of the subject

• Covers a number of non-standard topics that provide a fuller understanding of the subject

James Babington has a PhD in theoretical particle physics. He has held a number of post-doctoral positions in the UK and Europe and is currently an optical designer and applied optical physicist, but with a strong interest in electrodynamics and field theory.

Quantum Mechanics Essentials of Physics SeriesDennis Morris

This book is a slow-paced introduction to quantum mechanics for undergraduates and interested laypersons. The presentation is both reader-friendly and complete. The first four chapters cover the conceptual and philosophical aspects of quantum mechanics, before the next eleven chapters gently present the mathematics underlying the subject. After an easy chapter on the history of the theory, the whole of quantum mechanics is then presented in one chapter. This is followed by applications of the theory and a revision chapter, before we go beyond undergraduate level to briefly look ahead at relativistic quantum theory.

Commutative AlgebraAn IntroductionWilliam Hoffman, Xiaohong Jia, and Haohao WangeThe purpose of this book is twofold: to present some basic ideas in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry and to introduce topics of current research, centered around the themes of Gröbner bases, resultants and syzygies. The presentation of the material combines definitions and proofs with an emphasis on concrete examples. The authors illustrate the use of software such as Mathematica and Singular.

The design of the text in each chapter consists of two parts: the fundamentals and the applications, which make it suitable for courses of various lengths, levels, and topics based on the mathematical background of the students. The fundamentals portion of the chapter is intended to be read with minimal outside assistance, and to learn some of the most useful tools in commutative algebra. The applications of the chapter are to provide a glimpse of the advanced mathematical research where the topics and results are related to the material presented earlier. In the applications portion, the authors present a number of results from a wide

range of sources without detailed proofs. The applications portion of the chapter is suitable for a reader who knows a little commutative algebra and algebraic geometry already, and serves as a guide to some interesting research topics.

This book should be thought of as an introduction to more advanced texts and research topics. Its novelty is that the material presented is a unique combination of the essential methods and the current research results. The goal is to equip readers with the fundamental classical algebra and geometry tools, ignite their research interests, and initiate some potential research projects in the related areas.
