A distinct advantage of homogeneous catalysis over conventional heterogeneous catalysis is that it allows detailed clarification at the molecluar level of the reaction mechanisms in the elementary processes which comprise catalytic cycles. Thus the term molecular catalysis aptly describes the characteristics of homogeneous catalysis. Understanding the basic concepts in catalysis will allow further applications of the concepts to develop transition metal catalysts supported on the solid surface. One can thus create catalyst systems where the catalytic processes can be understood at the molecular level while the benefit of heterogeneous systems in separation is maintained. Another effect of the progress in molecular catalysis can be found in green chemistry where development of atom-efficient synthesis through new synthetic routes can minimize waste. Greener routes with less unfavourable impact on the environment may be provided by designing ",01-Jan-03,220,220,,"General Introduction (A. Yamamoto).

This is the first book of its kind on seismic amplitude inversion in the context of reflection tomography. The aim of the monograph is to advocate the use of ray-amplitude data, separately or jointly with traveltime data, in reflection seismic tomography. The emphasis of seismic exploration is on imaging techniques, so that seismic section can be interpreted directly as a geological section. In contrast it is perhaps ironic that, in decades of industrial seismology, one major aspect of waveform data that potentially is easier to measure and analyse has generally been ignored. That is, the information content of seismic amplitudes. Perhaps the potential complexity has deterred most researchers from a more thorough investigation of the practical use of seismic amplitude data.

Flexible Urban Transportation is a sweeping reassessment of American highway and transit policy, which for the last half-century has been fixated on the Interstate highway system and its aftermath - its planning, design and construction, and the creative destruction it wrought. The Interstate fostered suburbanization, first of housing, then retail shopping, then employment, and it revolutionized freight logistics, making possible the tightly integrated, flexible and efficient supply chains characteristic of modern industry. But its aggressive construction divided and destroyed many urban communities and finally precipitated the furious backlash of the freeway revolt. American cities now face a profound dilemma. The private automobile as a means of personal travel has never been more popular. The retail economy depends almost completely on highways.

Transport provides the technological means to facilitate movement of passengers and goods, but it is also at the centre of the growing concern about environmental degradation in the form of air pollution, global warming, noise, and safety. Combined with traffic congestion in major conurbations - at the ports, at the airports, and on the roads, the transport sector has been cited as a major contributor to the ills of twentieth century society. Despite the concerns about adverse environmental effects, it cannot be overlooked that there are, however, many positive features of transport. The challenge is to manage the benefits of transportation better so that the broad set of environmental impacts are reduced to acceptable levels while ensuring acceptable outcomes in terms of economic performance and equity.
