We present an overview of 13C-based NMR metabolomics. At first glance, the low sensitivity of 13C relative to 1H NMR might seem like too great an obstacle to

Neutron reflectometry is a powerful technique for probing the structure of lipid bilayer membranes and membrane-associated proteins. Measurements of the
Cell membranes are extraordinarily heterogeneous environments composed of a multitude of different molecules with many thousands of chemically distinct lipids

In this chapter we argue for the use of representations from category theory to support better models for complex systems, and provide an example of such an
ABL simulations using LES have been performed to assess the suitability of the simulated flow for structural wind engineering applications. The governing

The book Materials and Processes for CO2 Capture, Conversion and Sequestration (CCS) which will be published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., is a result of the
A multi-scale understanding of CO2 interactions with natural materials is essential for engineering the safe and permanent storage of CO2 in geologic formations
The final two elements in the process of wavenumber calibration of a spectrometer involve software processing. These are (a) the generation of a spectrum
Exoskeletons are devices that can assist the human wearer's limbs to provide functional, normal or amplified human capabilities. Recent research on exoskeletons
This book looks at the increasing interest in running microscopy processing algorithms on big image data by presenting the theoretical and architectural
In this contribution, we study the orthogonality conditions satisfied by Al-Salam-Carlitz polynomials $U^(a)}_n(x;q)$ when the parameters $a$ and $q$ are not
The general purpose of underground gas storage (UGS) is to meet varying demand for natural gas (methane, CH4) over daily to seasonal time scales in the face of
In this chapter we assess the environmental public health and occupational health hazards, risks, and impacts associated with underground gas storage in

Cellulose nanofibers (CNF) were produced by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO) -oxidation and mechanical shearing of jute pulp. The cross section
Materials exposed to outdoor weathering will change properties. Currently there are no test methods that result in predictions for those materials. This lack of
Solution small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) combined with contrast variation provides information about the size and shape of individual components in a

Until now, ABAC research has been documented in hundreds of research papers, but not consolidated in book form. This book explains ABAC's history and model
Biomolecular applications of solution X-ray and neutron scattering (SAXS and SANS, respectively) started in late 1960s – early 1970s but were relatively limited
During March 20th to 24th, 2016, over 50 engineers and scientists from across the globe attended the sixth annual Service Life Prediction of Polymer Materials
