Electrochemisty at Metal and Semiconductor Electrodes covers the structure of the electrical double layer and charge transfer reactions across the electrode/electrolyte interface. The purpose of the book is to integrate modern electrochemistry and semiconductor physics, thereby, providing a quantitative basis for understanding electrochemistry at metal and semiconductor electrodes. Electrons and ions are the principal particles which play the main role in electrochemistry. This text, therefore, emphasizes the energy level concepts of electrons and ions rather than the phenomenological thermodynamic and kinetic concepts on which most of the classical electrochemistry texts are based. This rationalization of the phenomenological concepts in terms of the physics of semiconductors should enable readers to develop more atomistic and quantitative insights into processes that occur at electrodes. The book incorporates many traditional disciplines of science and engineering such as interfacial chemistry, biochemistry, enzyme chemistry, membrane chemistry, metallurgy, modification of solid interfaces, and materials' corrosion. The text is intended to serve as an introduction for the study of advanced electrochemistry at electrodes and is aimed towards graduates and senior undergraduates studying materials and interfacial chemistry or those beginning research work in the field of electrochemistry.
This book is a beginners introduction to chemical thermodynamics for engineers. In the textbook efforts have been made to visualize as clearly as possible the main concepts of thermodynamic quantities such as enthalpy and entropy, thus making them more perceivable. Furthermore, intricate formulae in thermodynamics have been discussed as functionally unified sets of formulae to understand their meaning rather than to mathematically derive them in detail. In this textbook, the affinity of irreversible processes, defined by the second law of thermodynamics, has been treated as the main subject, rather than the equilibrium of chemical reactions. The concept of affinity is applicable in general not only to the processes of chemical reactions but also to all kinds of irreversible processes. This textbook also includes electrochemical thermodynamics in which, instead of the classical phenomenological approach, molecular science provides an advanced understanding of the reactions of charged particles such as ions and electrons at the electrodes. Recently, engineering thermodynamics has introduced a new thermodynamic potential called exergy, which essentially is related to the concept of the affinity of irreversible processes. This textbook discusses the relation between exergy and affinity and explains the exergy balance diagram and exergy vector diagram applicable to exergy analyses in chemical manufacturing processes. This textbook is written in the hope that the readers understand in a broad way the fundamental concepts of energy and exergy from chemical thermodynamics in practical applications. Finishing this book, the readers may easily step forward further into an advanced text of their specified line. - Visualizes the main concepts of thermodynamics to show the meaning of the quantities and formulae. - Focuses mainly on the affinity of irreversible processes and the related concept of exergy. - Provides an advanced understanding of electrochemical thermodynamics.
EVIL CREEPS INTO HOUSEHOLDS ALL AROUND THE COUNTRY...Fushigi and Jimmy continue tracking down curses, but they’ve got their work cut out for them. Creepy stories seem to be spreading farther than ever, which means Himitsu’s real urban legends are endangering more and more people. When the curse-hunting duo comes across an odd magazine column about urban legends, their investigation into its source leads to a familiar publisher’s office. There, they find a mysterious person using Himitsu’s curses for their own sinister plans—and Fushigi has to get through a horde of creatures unleashed in the process!
If you look out the window at midnight on a snowy day, you'll meet eyes with a ghost and be cursed! Have you ever heard this urban legend? It's been going around, and when I first heard it I thought it was just made up. But I got curious and moved the curtains aside to peek out. At that moment, I made eye contact with a woman falling from the rooftop of an apartment building! I tried to tell people, but nobody believed me. Wait! My mom will definitely believe me. Huh? Mom, what are you doing up on the rooftop? It's dangerous! You could fall! Someone, please save my mom!
Someone’s watching from the shadows... There are rumors going around that a boy in a red hood has been asking people if they’ve noticed anyone in the dark crevices of their home... At first it might sound ridiculous, but everybody knows the feeling: they’re supposed to be alone, but it feels like they’re being watched. Is someone peeking through the window? Or the cracked open door? The desk, the bookshelf, the dresser—there are gaps everywhere, and from them, the chilling sound of laughter.
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS THAN THE BOOGEYMAN... The internet is full of creepypastas, cryptid sightings, tales of paranormal activity, and unsolved disappearances. These are mostly rumors and pranks fueled by trolls—entertainment. But the unlucky few learn the hard way that some legends are true. Many of these unfortunate souls are doomed, but their luck may change if they cross paths with the boy in the red hood. He roams from town to town and appears wherever strange things occur. Is he a light in the dark? Or living proof that monsters are all too real...?
BELIEVE THE TALES OR RISK ANGERING THE SPIRITS. Fushigi Senno’s search for his sister continues as he follows the paranormal events she leaves behind her like a trail of breadcrumbs. And thanks to a special spell and notebook, he can seal away anything dangerous he comes across. But even with tools this handy, Fushigi has his work cut out for him. Between bad-tempered demons, cruel spirits, and an entire town affected by a mysterious phenomenon from the sky, he may never be able to catch up to his sister and end their twisted game of tag.
The changing nature of education and training systems in Japanese firms is reviewed with focus on developments of management education in Japanese universities. Based on a contextual model, this book examines whether the MBA education system in the Japanese business schools is useful for human resource development in Japanese firms and discusses the importance of developments of Japanese-specific methods of management education. - New research topics: few studies focussing on Japanese management education - Systematic and critical review of the up-to-date literature on management education - Empirical evidence: interview data collected both from HR directors/managers and from employees who belongs to an MBA course
FORTE/PSTV '97 addresses Formal Description Techniques (FDTs) applicable to Distributed Systems and Communication Protocols (such as Estelle, LOTOS, SDL, ASN.1, TTCN, Z, Automata, Process Algebra, Logic). The conference is a forum for presentation of the state-of-the-art in theory, application, tools and industrialization of FDTs, and provides an excellent orientation for newcomers.
Ichikawa Kyotaro, a boy barely clinging to the bottom rung of his school's social ladder, secretly believes he's the tortured lead in some psychological thriller. He spends his days dreaming up ways to disrupt his classmates' peaceful lives and pining after Yamada Anna, the class idol. But Ichikawa's not nearly the troubled teen he pretends to be...and it turns out Yamada's a bit odd herself!
