To make the book more practical various plants’ operating conditions have been provided as a part of case studies. Features: Provides updated information on the process technologies and application especially for production of Group-II and III base oils Covers theory behind the processes including stoichiometry of chemical reactions physical and chemical structures and theoretical text explanations Includes mathematical equations and data to evaluate the actual operations and/or check design of the plant Explores practical applications including commercial production of lubricants and waxes Covers various industrial case studies This book is aimed at Professionals in industries involving the application of lubricants and waxes. | Lubricants and Waxes From Basics to Applications GBP 99.99 1
Mechanics of Liquid Nano- and Microdispersed Magnetic Media This book offers unique coverage of the mechanical properties of nano- and micro-dispersed magnetic fluids. Magnetic fluids are artificially created materials that do not exist in the nature. Researchers developing materials and devices are keenly interested in their mutually exclusive properties including fluidity compressibility and the ability to magnetize up to saturation in relatively small magnetic fields. Applications of micro- and nanodispersed magnetic fluids include magnetic-seals magnetically operated grease in friction units and supports separators of non-magnetic materials oil skimmers and separators sensors of acceleration and angle and gap fillers in loudspeakers. | Mechanics of Liquid Nano- and Microdispersed Magnetic Media GBP 44.99 1
An Analysis of Robert D. Putnam's Bowling Alone American political scientist Robert Putnam wasn’t the first person to recognize that social capital – the relationships between people that allow communities to function well – is the grease that oils the wheels of society. But by publishing Bowling Alone he moved the debate from one primarily concerned with family and individual relationships one that studied the social capital generated by people’s engagement with the civic life. Putnam drew heavily on the critical thinking skill of interpretation in shaping his work. He took fresh looks at the meaning of evidence that other scholars had made too many assumptions about and was scrupulous in clarifying what his evidence was really saying. He found that strong social capital has the power to boost health lower unemployment and improve life in major ways. As such any decrease in civic engagement could create serious consequences for society. Putnam’s interpretation of these issues led him to the understanding that if America is to thrive its citizens must connect. | An Analysis of Robert D. Putnam's Bowling Alone GBP 6.50 1
Corruption in Commercial Enterprise Law Theory and Practice This edited collection analyses from multiple disciplinary perspectives the issue of corruption in commercial enterprise across different sectors and jurisdictions. Corruption is commonly recognised as a major ‘social bad’ and is seriously harmful to society in terms of the functioning and legitimacy of political-economic systems and the day-to-day lives of individuals. There is nothing novel about bribes in brown envelopes and dubious backroom deals ostensibly to grease the wheels of business. Corrupt practices like these go to the very heart of illicit transacting in both legal markets – such as kickbacks to facilitate contracts in international commerce – and illegal markets – such as payoffs to public officials to turn a blind eye to cross-border smuggling. Aside from the apparent pervasiveness and longevity of corruption in commercial enterprise there is now renewed policy and operational attention on the phenomenon prompting and meriting deeper analysis. Corruption in commercial enterprise encompassing behaviours often associated with corporate and white-collar crime and corruption in criminal commercial enterprise where we see corruption central to organised crime activities are major public policy issues. This collection gives us insight into their nature organisation and governance and how to respond most appropriately and effectively. | Corruption in Commercial Enterprise Law Theory and Practice GBP 38.99 1
