Product Description: Microreaction technology is the logically consistent application of microsystem techniques in chemical reaction and process engineering. Miniaturization in this field is the strategy of success and requires the development of small, inexpensive, independent and versatile chemical reaction units...read more

Product Description: This book has been a long time in preparation. Initially it grew out of our frustrating attempts over the past ten years to identify the filamentous bacteria seen in large numbers in most activated sludge plants, and the realization that we know very little about them and the other microbial populations in these systems...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: Los principios del liderazgo son tan simples que se nos han olvidado por completo. Confundimos la autoridad con el poder y el respeto con el miedo, lo que lleva a unas relaciones tensas y recelosas entre jefes y subordinados, y a un triste resultado: cuando un equipo trabaja para contentar al jefe, quien se ocupa realmente del trabajo? Este libro nos ensena que dirigir consiste, paradojicamente, en servir a los demas, porque un buen lider esta pendiente de sus subordinados para atender a sus legitimas necesidades, ayudarles a cumplir sus aspiraciones y aprovechar sus capacidades al maximo...read more
