'Exploring Chemical Analysis' provides an ideal one-term introduction to analytical chemistry for students whose primary interests generally lie outside of chemistry. Combining coverage of all major analytical topics with effective problem-solving methods, it teaches students how to understand analytical results and how to use quantitative manipulations, preparing them for the problems they will encounter in fields from biology to chemistry to geology. The new edition includes new applications throughout, more emphasis on 'green chemistry,' and more integration of Excel.

This book presents newer applications of paramagnetic sensors for the study of polymer materials structure, microreology and molecular dynamics. Paramagnetic (or spin) sensors have found wide use in structural and dynamic research of condensed media using the spectroscopy of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Stable nitroxide radicals are the most exploited paramagnetic sensors which formed the basis of spin probes and labels technique well known to the experts in fields of chemical and biological materials science. With the proliferation of new materials (composites, nano-dimensional fill

In my Ph.D thesis I study immersions of 4-dimensional submanifolds. In particular, I study affine hypersurfaces and affine spheres in the affine space and minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms. Lagrangian submanifolds can be studied by their first and second fundamental form. Using the expression for the constant holomorphic sectional curvature tensor of the ambient complex space form, it can be proven that the first and the second fundamental form for the immersion satisfy a bunch of differential equations, known as the Gauss and Codazzi equations. Starting from a Riemannian manifold and a traceless (1,2)-tensor such that those equations are satisfied a local immersion for the Lagrangian submanifold can be made such that the metric becomes the first and the tensor becomes the second fundamental form. Such an immersion is unique up to isometries of the ambient space form. Affine hypersurfaces and affine spheres are hypersurfaces in a standard real space (affine space) but the transversal vector field to describe the immersions is determined by the Blashke instead of the Gaussian normal. This changes the induced structures somewhat. We obtain the shape operator, a presumed Riemannian affine metric and an induced affine connection. Comparing the Levi-Civita connection of the metric with the induced connection results in a traceless symmetric difference tensor. Comparing curvature tensors of both results in the Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations. Again starting from an abstract Riemannian manifold with a metric, a 'shape operator' and a 'difference tensor' satisfying these equations, we can construct an immersion locally as an affine hypersurface or affine sphere with these induced structures. This immersion is unique up to affine congruence. For affine spheres, the Ricci equations become trivial and the other equations have a lot of similarities to those of the minimal Lagrangian submanifolds of complex space forms.In this thesis, I apply pointwise algebraic symmetry conditions on the second fundamental form and the shape operator and difference tensor to reconstruct immersions of minimal Lagrangian submanifolds in complex space forms and affine hypersurfaces and spheres respectively.I obtain a full classification for the symmetry group SO(n-1) on n-dimensional affine hypersurfaces. I obtain classification results for SO(2) times S_3 symmetry on minimal Lagrangian submanifolds and affine spheres. Finally, I obtain some calculations and results on O(2) symmetry for minimal Lagrangian submanifolds.
