Introduction to Basic Concepts

W. Mendenhall, Introduction to EinearMode/s and the Design andAna/ysis of Experiments, Duxbury Press, Belmont, Calif., 1968. This book provides an introduction to basic concepts and the most popular experimental designs without going into extensive detail. In contrast to most other books, the emphasis in the development of many of the underlying models and analysis methods is on a regression, rather than an analysis-of-variance, viewpoint. 

This chapter provides an introduction to basic concepts of meteorology necessary to an understanding of air pollution meteorology without specific regard to air pollution problems. The relationship of meteorology to air pollution is discussed in the following four chapters. 

The book provides systematic and detailed descriptions of the numerous approaches to chiral resolution. The first chapter is an introduction to basic concepts of molecular chirality and liquid chromatography. Chapters 2 through 9 discuss the chiral resolution of various classes of chiral stationary phases. Chapter 10 deals with chiral resolution using chiral mobile phase additives. These discussions elaborate the types, structures, and properties of the chiral phases,...

Solid catalysts are used in modem energy, chemical and environmental processes. Catalyst performance - activity, selectivity and stability-is largely determined by their preparation. In this respect, catalyst synthesis may be considered as one of the most influential unit operations in industry. This book provides an introduction to basic concepts and research tools relevant to catalyst synthesis followed by a number of case studies. In this way it is an introduction to the field of catalyst synthesis for students and newcomers as well as a reference book for experienced scientists and practitioners. I hope that this book will stimulate the research field of catalyst synthesis and that it will support research and applications of solid catalysts by facilitating reliable and reproducible synthesis of materials.

The title of Chapter 1 is changed to Introduction and Basic Concepts. ... 

After an introduction to basic principles, the book is divided into sections that cover industrial and regulatory applications, clinical applications, and research applications. A panel of experts provide extensive background for each subspeciality. Covering the many subdisciplines and providing pharmacokinetic concepts, terminology, and approaches. Pharmacokinetics in Drug Discovery and Development serves as a resource for professionals throughout this field. 

This is a reminder of (or introduction to) basic chemistry. If you have recently done and understood school or college chemistry, you can probably skip the whole of the next two chapters, which are here to make sure that everyone is happy with atoms, molecules, valency and other basic chemical concepts that we are going to need to use and take for granted as we move on through the biochemistry.

This book by Bohm gives a clear and readable introduction to the concepts and important applications of the special theory of relativity. It is more text based than many modem presentations of special relativity and puts great emphasis on explaining the basic ideas and assumptions rather than developing the advanced mathematical framework based on tmsors and the Ricci calculus. It can highly be recommended as an introduction for the beginner. 

The present chapter provides an introduction to basic Semantic Web-related technology concepts that are necessary to understand the remainder of this book. We focused on explaining key elements of Semantic Web-based solutions and exploring the key SWT capabilities of particular relevance for intelligent engineering applications. The chapter introduced and discussed the following key topics ... 

The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to the upstream industry useful for industry professionals who wish to be better informed about the basic methods, concepts and technology used. It is also Intended for readers not directly working in oil and gas companies but who are providing related support services. 

The section on applications examines the same techniques from the standpoint of the type of chemical system. A number of techniques applicable to biomolecular work are mentioned, but not covered at the level of detail presented throughout the rest of the book. Likewise, we only provide an introduction to the techniques applicable to modeling polymers, liquids, and solids. Again, our aim was to not repeat in unnecessary detail information contained elsewhere in the book, but to only include the basic concepts needed for an understanding of the subjects involved.
