Subject overview

The second and the third papers of this chapter were contributed by Bulgaria s National Academy of Sciences distinguished developers, Dr. A. Kaisheva and Professor I. Iliev. The two papers address magnesium-air and zinc-air chemistries, respectively. Concepts of mechanical recharging, new non-KOH based electrolytes, and the role of carbon materials in cell design have been thoroughly studied. Authors have reduced to practice their many developments. Systems created work(ed) in many specialty applications. 

The last paper in this chapter is by Professor N. Korovin of Moscow Power Engineering Institute, Russian Federation. The author could not attend the NATO-CARWC in Chicago due to a last minute cancellation. His work, contributed to this volume is a comprehensive overview of various metal-air battery technologies, with a heavy focus on the role of carbon materials in these electrochemical systems. 

While during the NATO-CARWC, the session on metal-air batteries featured other important contributions, it is, perhaps, by coincidence that only presenters from the former Eastern Block submitted their papers for this volume. In this regard, the editors wish to note, that papers below may be of special interest to the western reader, as they offer a rather unique insight into the science and application of the metal-air battery systems from the 

Editors deeply regret that one of the authors, Professor Iliev passed away at the time of preparation of this volume. We have remembered his highly professional keynote talk, given during the NATO-CARWC, also his enthusiasm and high profile sense of humor. We hope that his laboratory in Bulgaria continues to operate and contribute to the world s body of electrochemical knowledge. 

we have published a memoriam to Professor Iliev by one of his former students, and now Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical Nuclear Engineering, University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM, USA, Dr. Plamen Atanassov.

Because of the explosive development of computer sciences, the number of software programs and packages has increased dramatically. Tab. 1-3 presents a list of some programs and software packages for table calculation, and methods of basic and advanced statistics. It is clear that in such a booming market, only a relatively subjective overview can be given. 

We have presented a somewhat subjective overview of the impressive developments achieved in the biochemistry of cannabinoids in the last decade. 

This conversational and somewhat subjective overview of computational approaches in zeolite chemistry has illustrated that the field is very diverse, and expanding rapidly. Modeling and simulation at the atomistic or electronic structural level clearly contribute at various levels to practical zeolite research and development programs. Characterization and zeolite physical and chemical property prediction are the most prominent application domains at present. 

Traditionally, these three format types have been part of a library s reference collection. Handbooks present a subject overview and feature an author devised arrangement by subdisciplines within the subject. Encyclopedias cover similar material, but in an alphabetical arrangement. Dictionaries also use an alphabetical arrangement, but usually have more entries with significantly shorter explanations.
