Gas Adsorption Equilibria

Gas Adsorption Equilibria

This book is intended to present for the first time experimental methods to measure equilibria states of pure and mixed gases being adsorbed on the surface of solid materials. It has been written for engineers and scientists from industry and academia who are interested in adsorption-based gas separation processes and/or in using gas adsorption for characterization of the porosity of solid materials.

AspectJ in Action

AspectJ in Action

A software system is the realization of a set of concerns. One of the central premises of object-oriented , is that each concern should be implemented as a separate module. However, there are certain system-wide concerns, such as logging, security, performance, and so forth, that often need to be addressed in many, if not all of the modules. Consequently, the code to handle these system-wide concerns may be mixed in with the core logic of a huge number of modules, resulting in lower productivity, poor quality, and systems that are hard to evolve.,

Aspect-oriented programming overcomes these problems by modularizing the system-wide concerns.
