Water : Miracle Cure


Water : Miracle Cure
Beth Agnew | ISBN 0-9731336-8-6 | Pdf | 129 pgs | 2 mb
Depressed? Fatigued? Got a headache? Many pains and illnesses are caused by dehydration, a widespread condition of drought within your body.

Our bodies are 75% water, and water is a critical element in cell function. Without an adequate supply of water, the body cannot repair itself, or remove toxic wastes efficiently. It becomes sick from having to operate in a chronic state of dehydration.

If you are not drinking at least 64 fluid ounces (2 liters, or 4 pop bottle size containers) of water a day IN ADDITION to any coffee, colas, tea, juices, or alcohol you drink, you are dehydrated!

Water can save your life!

Practical Troubleshooting of Electrical Equipment and Control Circuits


Practical Troubleshooting of Electrical Equipment and Control Circuits
Elsevier | ISBN 0 7506 6278 6 | Pdf | 246 pgs | 7 mb
There is a large gap between the theory of electron flow, magnetic fields and that of troubleshooting electrical equipment and control circuits in the plant. In this book, we try to avoid or at least minimize discussions on the theory and instead focus on showing you how to troubleshoot electrical equipment and control circuits. The book helps to increase your knowledge and skills in improving equipment productivity whilst reducing maintenance costs. Reading this book will help you identify, prevent and fix common electrical equipment and control circuits. The focus is ‘outside the box’. The emphasis is on practical issues that go beyond typical electrical theory and focus on providing those that attend with the necessary toolbox of skills in solving electrical problems, ranging from control circuits to motors and variable speed drives.

This book focuses on the main issues of troubleshooting electrical equipment and control circuits of today to enable you to walk onto your plant or facility to troubleshoot and fix problems as quickly as possible. This is not an advanced book but one aimed at the fundamentals of troubleshooting systems. The book is very practical in its approach to troubleshooting and the examples you will be shown are applicable to any facility.

The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms


The Art of Writing Reasonable Organic Reaction Mechanisms
Robert B. Grossman | ISBN 0-387-95468-6 | Pdf | 371 pgs | 7 mb
The purpose of this book is to help you learn how to draw reasonable mechanisms for organic reactions. A mechanism is a story that we tell to explain how compound A is transformed into compound B under given reaction conditions. Imagine being asked to describe how you travelled from New York to Los Angeles (an overall reaction). You might tell how you traveled through New Jersey to Pennsylvania, across to St. Louis, over to Denver, then through the Southwest to the West Coast (the mechanism). You might include details about the mode of transportation you used (reaction conditions), cities where you stopped for a few days (intermediates), detours you took (side reactions), and your speed at various points along the route (rates). To carry the analogy further, there is more than one way to get from New York to Los Angeles; at the same time, not every story about how you traveled from New York to Los Angeles is believable. Likewise, more than one reasonable mechanism can often be drawn for a reaction, and one of the purposes of this book is to teach you how to distinguish a reasonable mechanism from a whopper.

It is important to learn how to draw reasonable mechanisms for organic reactions because mechanisms are the framework that makes organic chemistry make sense. Understanding and remembering the bewildering array of reactions known to organic chemists would be completely impossible were it not possible to organize them into just a few basic mechanistic types. The ability to formulate mechanistic hypotheses about how organic reactions proceed is also required for the discovery and optimization of new reactions.

The general approach of this book is to familiarize you with the classes and
types of reaction mechanisms that are known and to give you the tools to learn how to draw mechanisms for reactions that you have never seen before.

Dictionary of Chemistry

Dictionary of Chemistry
McGraw Hill | Mark D. Licker | Pdf | 443 pgs | 3 mb
The McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Chemistry provides a compendium of 8000 terms that are central to chemistry and related fields of science and technology. The coverage in this Second Edition is focused on the the areas of analytical chemisty, general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, and spectroscopy, with new terms added and others revised as necessary.

Chemistry deals with the composition, properties, and structure of matter. Its various branches analyze composition and properties, and study the changes that occur in matter, the underlying processes, the energetics of these processes, and the rates at which they occur. Thus, the terms contained in this Dictionary may be used in virtually all areas of science, for example, biochemistry, geochemistry, and cosmochemistry, and in many areas of technology.

All of the definitions are drawn from the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, Sixth Edition (2003). Each definition is classified according to the field with which it is primarily associated; if it is used in more than one area, it is identified by the general label [CHEM]. The pronunciation of each term is provided, along with synonyms, acronyms, and abbreviations where appropriate. A guide to the use of the Dictionary appears on pages vii-viii, explaining the alphabetical organization of terms, the format of the book, cross referencing, chemical formulas, and how synonyms, variant spellings, abbreviations, and similar information are handled. The Pronunciation Key is provided on page x. The Appendix provides conversion tables for commonly used scientific units as well as other listings of chemical data.
