This book offers a systematic study of control algorithms applied in the operation of solar membrane distillation (SMD) facilities. After a short introduction to membrane distillation systems powered by solar energy, it reports on the various stages of the development of a comprehensive operating strategy, based on modelling, control, and optimization techniques, which enables an improved operation of SMD plants helping the commercialization of the SMD technology. A special focus of the research was to maximize the distillate production of the MD modules while reducing their thermal energy consumption, being those two important weaknesses of the current technology, as well as their minimizing operating costs. The optimised operating strategies were tested in a real pilot plant located at Plataforma Solar de Almería (a dependency of the Centro de Investigaciones Energéticas, Medioambientales y Tecnológicas, CIEMAT, of Spain). All in all, this thesis offers extensive information on control and modeling algorithms, and on their practical applications in solar membrane distillation plants.
Heraldic devices first appeared on ceramics in Western Europe from the sixteenth century onwards; however, it was not until the 1760s that British ceramic manufactories began executing commissions for services displaying heraldic devices for the gentry. This book explores the rise of the new gentry class and the market for armorial services through the case study of the Pendock Barry service. The case study is presented from three angles. It looks at Pendock Neale Barry (1757¿1833) who commissioned the service, then considers the evidence for attributing the service to the Derby factory during the period 1805¿1810, and finally looks at the evidence supporting an attribution of the decoration to Billingsley. The case study sets out a novel approach to understanding heraldic devices on ceramics by bringing together the disciplines of detailed genealogical research, cultural knowledge, and chemical analytical compositional data. This multidisciplinary approach enables the armorial services to be considered and understood through the lens of heritage, culture, and science.

Sulfonamides are a prominent pharmacological family that has seen considerable usage in human and animal medicine due to their overall stability, bioavailability, and ease of production. In this study, first of all, the structural parameters of the 4-((6,7-dihydroxy-2-oxo-2H-chromen-4-yl) methylamino) benzene sulfonamide compound were determined by optimization calculation. Then, we analyzed spectroscopic properties such as FT-IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR by theoretically. Finally, HOMO-LUMO molecular orbital energies, the nonlinear optical properties (NLO) and molecular potential energy surface (MEP) of the compound were calculated and the ADME study was carried out to determine whether it showed drug properties. As a result, it was found that the experimental spectroscopic values and the calculation results were compatible with each other. With NLO and ADME studies, it was determined that the studied molecule showed nonlinear optical activity and drug properties. Calculations were performed with the DFT/B3LYP method and using the 6-311++ g (d, p) basis set.

Die 1894 erstmals erschienenen "Logarithmische Rechentafeln für Chemiker" von Friedrich Wilhelm Küster mauserten sich zu einem Klassiker unter den Nachschlagewerken zur Analytischen Chemie. Im Vordergrund stand und steht immer die Unterstützung des Anwenders in Fragen der schnellen, hochqualitativen Versorgung mit Informationen rund um Analysentechniken. Dies ist auch in Zeiten der zunehmenden Dominanz des Internets noch von unschätzbarem Wert. Wer dort eine Frage stellt, bekommt darauf zwar Antworten, nur sind diese oftmals verschieden und auch widersprüchlich, so dass der nicht so versierte Experte hilflos vor dem Informationschaos steht. Hier setzt dieses mittlerweile "Analytik - Daten, Formeln, Übungsaufgaben" genannte Lehrbuch an und bietet von Experten gesichtete, bewertete und in vielen Fällen auch an praktischen Fragestellungen erklärte Informationen in geschickt aufbereiteter Form an. In der 110. Auflage wurden die für Analysentechniken relevanten Informationen durch Neusortierung besser zugänglich gemacht und die immer wichtiger werdende instrumentelle Analyse um neue Kapitel u.a. zur Atomspektrometrie und Massenspektrometrie erweitert. Gleichzeitig wurde die Nomenklatur an aktuelle Empfehlungen der IUPAC angepasst.

Cyclodextrins (¿-CDs) are D-glucose macrocycles that resemble hollow, truncated cones and can be produced inexpensively from side to side enzymatic starch stop working. The three principal types of cyclodextrins are ¿-CD (diameter of cavity: 0.57 nm), ¿-CD (diameter of cavity: 0.78 nm), and ¿-CD (diameter of cavity: 0.95 nm), which contain 6-8 glucose molecules, in that order. Due to their cup-like shape and hydrophobic interior cavity, ¿-CDhave a remarkable ability to create host-guest complexes with hundreds of chemical molecules.
