Frothing in Flotation IIRecent Advances in Coal Processing Volume 2 Dr. J. S. Laskowski has written several papers on frother-collector interactions and the effect of such interactions on flotation kinetics and on frothers chemistry and frothing. He is founder and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Coal Preparation. Dr. E. T. Woodburn has published numerous papers on flotation froth and flotation kinetics. Frothing in Flotation published in honor of Jan Leja appeared in 1989. Many important contributions on various aspects of flotation froth properties and behavior and the relationship between froth appearance and flotation performance have appeared since and this volume intends to summarize these achievements. Flotation kinetics involves a number of mass transfer processes with some of them being critically determined by the behavior of froth. Since froth is complex and controlled experimentation is difficult the froth phase was until recently either ignored or treated entirely empirically. With wide applications of flotation columns the behavior of the froth is now often recognized as being dominant in determining flotation performance and the research in this area is one of the most actively pursued.

The Correspondence of Joseph Black Joseph Black (1728-1799) was one of the central figures of the Scottish Enlightenment. His friends and colleagues included David Hume Adam Smith Adam Ferguson William Robertson William Cullen and James Hutton; together they formed a celebrated intellectual circle which regularly met conversed and dined. Black was widely admired for his discovery and characterisation of 'fixed air' (carbon dioxide} which arose from investigations he undertook at Edinburgh for the dissertation which counted towards his MD degree. His first teaching appointment followed at Glasgow University where he developed ideas about latent and specific heat all the more intriguing as there he formed a close friendship with James Watt whose ambition grew to improve the performance of steam engines. Black's reputation lay largely as a highly talented teacher. From 1766 when he became professor of medicine and chemistry at Edinburgh his large classes included pupils who were drawn from as far away as America the West Indies and Russia. Black was also admired for his skill in applying science and economics to the improvement of agriculture and to the developing industrial landscape. According to a contemporary commentator he was "the best judge perhaps in Europe" of such matters. This publication includes more than eight hundred items of Black's extensive correspondence most of them published for the first time. It reveals relationships with businessmen entrepreneurs and former pupils as well as with prominent scientific and cultural figures of the day including Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier James Watt Benjamin Rush Josiah Wedgwood and Robert Adam. A number of letters and reports written to and from fellow physicians indicate that Black practised medicine throughout his career particularly caring for the health of his friends David Hume among them. There is also a revealing series of letters which point to the financial struggles his Ulster family endured at a period of political unrest in Europe and America and showing how Black saved them from bankruptcy on various occasions. Documents associated with Black's domestic life and academic work are also included. The letters are preceded by an important introduction covering Black's life and work and the context and history of the correspondence and are provided with extensive annotation. A comprehensive index concludes the work. These volumes therefore comprise an indispensable resource for all those interested in medicine teaching the growth of scientific ideas the social fabric and the rise of industry in the eighteenth century and in the Enlightenment itself.

Spatial Dynamics and Pattern Formation in Biological Populations The book provides an introduction to deterministic (and some stochastic) modeling of spatiotemporal phenomena in ecology epidemiology and neural systems. A survey of the classical models in the fields with up to date applications is given. The book begins with detailed description of how spatial dynamics/diffusive processes influence the dynamics of biological populations. These processes play a key role in understanding the outbreak and spread of pandemics which help us in designing the control strategies from the public health perspective. A brief discussion on the functional mechanism of the brain (single neuron models and network level) with classical models of neuronal dynamics in space and time is given. Relevant phenomena and existing modeling approaches in ecology epidemiology and neuroscience are introduced which provide examples of pattern formation in these models. The analysis of patterns enables us to study the dynamics of macroscopic and microscopic behaviour of underlying systems and travelling wave type patterns observed in dispersive systems. Moving on to virus dynamics authors present a detailed analysis of different types models of infectious diseases including two models for influenza five models for Ebola virus and seven models for Zika virus with diffusion and time delay. A Chapter is devoted for the study of Brain Dynamics (Neural systems in space and time). Significant advances made in modeling the reaction-diffusion systems are presented and spatiotemporal patterning in the systems is reviewed. Development of appropriate mathematical models and detailed analysis (such as linear stability weakly nonlinear analysis bifurcation analysis control theory numerical simulation) are presented.
