Overview: The process of froth flotation is an outstanding example of applied surface chemistry. It is extensively used in the mining, mineral, metallurgical, and chemical industries for separation and selective concentration of individual minerals and other solids. Substances so concentrated serve as raw materials for producing appropriate metals and chemicals. The importance of flotation in technology is chiefly due to the ease with which it can be made selective and versatile and to the economy of the process. The objective of this book is to review the fundamentals of surface chemistry tog

Overview: The study of spatial patterns in extended systems, and their evolution with time, poses challenging questions for physicists and mathematicians alike. Waves on water, pulses in optical fibers, periodic structures in alloys, folds in rock formations, and cloud patterns in the sky: patterns are omnipresent in the world around us. Their variety and complexity make them a rich area of study. In the study of these phenomena an important role is played by well-chosen model equations, which are often simpler than the full equations describing the physical or biological system, but still cap

Overview: Subtilisin is the most extensively studied model system for protein engineering. The primary motivating factor for the interest in subtilisin is the commercial utility of this class of proteases. The subtilisin symposium was the first international meeting to bring together a large number of groups that have focused on the subtilisins and the subtilases-the protein superfamily of subtilisin-like enzymes. The results presented at the symposium are in this way a unique compendium of a broad spectrum of work largely focused on harnessing the potential of site-directed mutagenesis to und

Overview: Presents a new methodology for speech recognition of non-native speakers.Shows a proven and verified approach.Includes supplementary material: .In this work, the authors present a fully statistical approach to model non--native speakers‘ pronunciation. Second-language speakers pronounce words in multiple different ways compared to the native speakers. Those deviations, may it be phoneme substitutions, deletions or insertions, can be modelled automatically with the new method presented here..The methods is based on a discrete hidden Markov model as a word pronunciation model, initiali

Overview: Die Stoffaufnahme ist ein wesentlicher Teil der metabolischen Prozesse einer Zelle. Da­ her erklärt sich, daß unter den verschiedenen Lebensäußerungen der Zelle, die der morphologischen und mikroskopischen Analyse zugänglich sind, einige Vorgänge der Stoffaufnahme schon früh in der Geschichte der Zellbiologie ein Interesse gefunden haben. E. METSCHNIKOFF (1884) beschrieb die Aufnahme mikroskopisch sichtbarer Partikel in der Zelle, ein Vorgang, den wir nach ihm Phagocytose (rprxyav) nennen. Ein in gewisser Hinsicht ähnliches Phänomen, die Pinocytose (nlVEl‘V), nämlich die Auf­ nahme v
