Structure Determination of Organic Compounds: Tables of Spectral Data

Structure Determination of Organic Compounds: Tables of Spectral Data
by E. Pretsch (Author), P. Bühlmann (Author), C. Affolter (Author)

This volume presents in the form of texts, tables, charts and graphs a modern compilation of spectroscopic reference data for IR, UV/Vis, 1H- and 13C-NMR, MS (incl. prototype spectra of almost every important class of organic compounds and spectra of MALDI and FAB matrix materials) and is intended as a short textbook and a hands-on guide for interpreting experimental spectral data and elucidating the chemical structure of the respective compound behind it. The concise texts include special...

Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy

Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy
by Joseph R. Lakowicz (Author)

The third edition of the established classic text reference, Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, will enhance upon the earlier editions' successes. Organized as a textbook for the learning student or the researcher needing to acquire the core competencies, Principles of Fluorescence Spectroscopy, 3e will maintain the emphasis on basics, while updating the examples to include recent results from the literature. The third edition also includes new chapters on single molecule detection,...



EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
The Handbook's coverage of sensors is extensive, ranging from simple photodiodes to complex devices containing components in combination. It offers hard-to-find reference data on the properties of numerous materials and sensing elements and emphasizes devices that are less well-known, whose technology is still being refined, and whose use permits the measurement of variables that were previously inaccessible.


CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 4.5 based on 2 reviews)

Great, comprehensive overview by Ross Moffett (Oklahoma USA) 4 Stars
November 04, 2009
I think this book is great. It has a good portion dedicated to introduction to instrumentation and a lot of what I thought was fairly obscure knowledge about different sensors. It wasn't as in-depth as I would have liked when it came to how individual sensors might be designed, but that would make it into a pretty heavy book in retrospect.

great transaction and book by Jacob Toubi (San Diego, CA) 5 Stars

Very comprehensive on the different types of sensors out there and underlying theory of operation.

Sensor Technology Handbook
by Jon S. Wilson (Author)

Without sensors most electronic applications would not exist-they perform a vital function, namely providing an interface to the real world. The importance of sensors, however, contrasts with the limited information available on them. Today's smart sensors, wireless sensors, and microtechnologies are revolutionizing sensor design and applications. This volume is an up-to-date and comprehensive sensor reference guide to be used by engineers and scientists in industry, research, and academia to...

Electronic Sensor Circuits & Projects

Electronic Sensor Circuits & Projects
by Forrest M. Mims III (Author)

Electronic sensor circuits convert light, temperature, sound, and other signals into a form that can be processed by electronic circuits. Learn about solar cells, photoresistors, thermistors, and magnet switches. Then build circuits that respond to heat, pressure, light, and more. This Engineer's Mini Notebook is a compilation of three of Forrest Mims's notebooks: Sensor Projects; Solar Cell Projects; and Magnet & Magnet Sensor Projects.

The Art of Electronics

The Art of Electronics
by Paul Horowitz (Author), Winfield Hill (Author)

This is the thoroughly revised and updated Second Edition of the hugely successful The Art of Electronics. Widely accepted as the single, authoritative text and reference on electronic circuit design, both analog and digital, this book has sold over 120,000 copies, and has been translated into eight languages. This book revolutionized the teaching of electronics by emphasizing the methods actually used by circuit designers--a combination of some basic laws, rules of thumb, and a large bag of...

A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations

A Student's Guide to Maxwell's Equations
by Daniel Fleisch (Author)

Gauss's law for electric fields, Gauss's law for magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and the Ampere-Maxwell law are four of the most influential equations in science. In this guide for students, each equation is the subject of an entire chapter, with detailed, plain-language explanations of the physical meaning of each symbol in the equation, for both the integral and differential forms. The final chapter shows how Maxwell's equations may be combined to produce the wave equation, the basis for the...
