Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the most important tools in clinical diagnostics and biomedical research. This completely revised and extended second edition is presented in color and includes new chapters on targeted, responsive, PARACEST and nanoparticle MRI contrast agents. It covers the basic chemistries, MR physics and most...

Providing comprehensive insight into the use of copper in cross-coupling reactions, Copper-Mediated Cross-Coupling Reactions provides a complete up-to-date collection of the available reactions and catalytic systems for the formation of carbon-heteroatom and carbon-carbon bonds. This essential reference covers a broad scope of copper-mediated...

Understanding Physical Chemistry takes an innovative approach to teaching this fundamentally important subject, by stressing core ideas such as the entropic forces that drive all chemical processes and the quantum states that dictate the structures and colors of atoms and molecules. This elegant and streamlined textbook (of under 400 pages) aims to...

Much of the world's petroleum is located on continental margins, and any further development of these offshore deposits would be impossible without new technologies and new methods contained in this volume. Written by some of the world's foremost authorities on oil and gas, this volume explains for the practicing engineer and the engineering...

Providing readers with a clear, useful framework for systems engineering, this book integrates the Japanese and Western perspectives of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and relates its unique framework to current, widely adopted philosophies of quality assurance. Featuring real-world case studies, more than 30 tables, and over 70 figures, this...

Volume 82 describe reactions that involve one of the most common transformations in organic chemistry, namely, the pairwise combination of double bonded functional groups. The importance of this enormous family of reactions is a reflection of the spectacular diversity of precursors and products that can arise from appropriate modulation of...
