Borne out of the current widespread interest in the pollution of water bodies, this book explores
the latest research concerning the photochemical fate of organic pollutants in surface water. The
main objective is to give insight into both the functioning of ecosystems and the behaviour of
emerging pollutants in those ecosystems. Particular importance is dedicated to techniques that can
be used in the field and in the laboratory for the detection of pollutants and of their transformation
intermediates. The inclusion of photochemical processes that have not gained previous coverage
will afford the reader novel insights, whilst the focus on modelling and transformation intermediates
will ensure the titles relevance to academics, the chemical manufacturing industries and
environmental assessment experts alike.

Molecular Interactions
Daniel Canet, Universite de Lorraine, France
Spin relaxation parameters, although difficult to interpret, are attracting interest in NMR as these
parameters are capable of yielding both structural and dynamic information. For example, contrast
in MRI is obtained through spin relaxation of the water protons in biological tissues. Cross-relaxation
and cross-correlation parameters afford a non-ambiguous approach to molecular structure and
dynamics although they require some special skills for their experimental determination and for
their exploitation. This work will provide a detailed account of cross-relaxation and cross-correlation
which would be timely and fill a gap in the present NMR literature for the analytical scientist.

Corrosion Chemistry
Faraday Discussions
Over the last decade or so, there has been immense progress in the development of tools,
both experimental and theoretical, for probing the solid/fluid interface at the nanoscale. These
advances open the way towards mechanistic understanding, and potentially prediction, of
chemical processes occurring at this interface. Amongst the fields beginning to benefit from such
effort is corrosion science, which is primarily concerned with degradation of metallic materials
immersed in either liquid or gaseous environments, and control thereof. Corrosion science does
not always attract the plaudits of other more fashionable subjects, but is nevertheless of huge
strategic importance. This statement is increasingly true as we move towards a world where
every atom counts, e.g. in maintaining the performance of nano-devices, as well for ensuring
sustainability through optimum use of natural resources. This title brings together experimentalists
and theoreticians concerned with understanding at the nanoscale interfacial chemical processes
relevant to corrosion and its control.

Nanoplasmonics
Faraday Discussions
Recent advances in nanofabrication and subwavelength optical characterisation have led to
significant new advances in plasmonics. In addition to traditional top-down nanofabrication
techniques, chemical-based fabrication has emerged as an inexpensive and viable alternative
with electrochemical and self-organisation methods for fabrication of plasmonic nanoparticles
and extended plasmonic structures. This title will focus on areas where progress is expected
to have a most significant impact on a whole area of nanoplasmonics and on commercial
exploitation. Aiming to highlight the most recent breakthroughs in this multidisciplinary field and
providing different perspectives of physicists, chemists and biologists, it will connect the various
subdisciplines in the field and define the most challenging problems for the future.

Denmark | Xavier Fuentes-Arderiu, Clinical Laboratory Sciences Consulting, Spain
There has been significant expansion and development in clinical laboratories sciences since the
previous edition of this book was published in 1995. Some new disciplines have appeared and
the interrelationships between different disciplines within clinical laboratory sciences demand a
common structure and language for data exchange in the laboratory and with the clinicians. It is
of prime importance to standardize laboratory reports for reliable exchange of patient examination
data without loss of meaning or accuracy. For that, it is important to promote the unified format
developed by IUPAC and IFCC. This book groups and updates the recommendations and will be
appropriate for laboratory scientists, medical professionals and students in this area.

Non-equilibrium Thermodynamics
Dick Bedeaux, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway | Signe Kjelstrup,
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway | Jan Sengers, University of Maryland,
USA
The book covers recent developments in the theory of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and its
applications. Four chapters are devoted to the foundations; an overview chapter is followed by
recent results addressing the underlying principles of the theory. The applications are concerned
with bulk systems, with heterogeneous systems where interfaces are central and with process units
in industry where entropy production minimization is useful. Bringing the literature up to date and
detailing new approaches in this area of research, it is aimed at a predominantly, but not exclusively,
academic audience of practitioners of thermodynamics and energy conversion.
