Suitable for scientists in a number of disciplines, including geology, microbiology, chemistry and environmental science, this title deals with sedimentary sulfides which are the abundant authigenic minerals in sediments. It gives emphasis to the biogeochemistry that plays such a central role in the formation of sedimentary sulfides.

Explains how UHF tags and readers communicate wirelessly. This book gives an understanding of what limits the read range of a tag, how to increase it (and why that might result in breaking the law), and the practical things that need to be addressed when designing and implementing RFID technology.

Teaches OpenCL and parallel programming for complex systems that may include a variety of device architectures: multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and integrated Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) such as AMD Fusion technology. This book explores memory spaces, optimization techniques, graphics interoperability, extensions, and debugging and profiling.

A collection 17 articles that presents the history of modeling applications and examines competing points of view. It covers the construction of CGE databases, model solving, and computer-assisted interpretation of results. It shows how CGE modeling has made a contribution to economic policy.

The rare earths represent a group of chemical elements, the lanthanides, together with scandium and yttrium, which exhibit similar chemical properties. This book deals with the science and technology of the rare earth elements in an integrated manner.
