Science and Applications of Conducting Polymers emphasizes potential industrial applications of conducting polymers. The papers presented discuss the basic physics and chemistry of conducting polymers, followed by an in-depth examination of applications.

Nanocrystalline materials, featuring structures of the order 1-100 nm, exhibit remarkable structural, electrical, magnetic and optical properties, which can be exploited in a wide variety of structural and non-structural applications. Potential uses

Life-Cycle Assessment presents a brief overview of the development of the life-cycle assessment process and develops guidelines and principles for implementation of a product life-cycle inventory analysis. The book describes inventory analysis,

Overviews techniques and methods for managing large watershed areas, with an emphasis on controlling nonpoint source pollution from agriculture in surface waters and groundwaters. The first of the 11 contributions provide background

Focusing on the 188 hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) identified in the Title III of the Clean Air Act Amendments, this work reviews the methods used to identify, measure, and locate the presence

The need to screen targets faster and more efficiently, coupled with advances in parallel and multiplex chemical synthesis, has contributed to the increasing use of multiwell assays for drug discovery. The Handbook

Artificial Morality shows how to build moral agents that succeed in competition with amoral agents. Peter Danielson's agents deviate from the received theory of rational choice. They are bound by moral principles

Telegeoinformatics is a rapidly emerging discipline focusing on the theory and applications of integrated telecommunications, geoinformatics, and mobile computing technologies. It uses geoinformatics (GIS, GPS, satellite imagery, and aerial photo imagery) in
