Almost any interaction between two physical entities can be described through the transfer of either charge, spin, momentum, or energy. Therefore, any theory able to describe these transport phenomena can shed light on a variety of physical, chemical, and biological effects, enriching our understanding of complex, yet fundamental, natural processes, e.g., catalysis or photosynthesis. In this review, we will discuss the standard workhorses for transport in nanoscale devices, namely Boltzmann’s equation and Landauer’s approach. We will emphasize their strengths, but also analyze their limits, proposing theories and models useful to go beyond the state of the art in the investigation of transport in nanoscale devices.

In this introductory lecture we discuss the state-of-the-art glycan microarray technology, with emphasis on novel approaches to immobilize collections of glycans in a defined, multivalent manner.

Flashing of high temperature, pressurized slurry within hydrometallurgical processing circuits is a commonly encountered multiphase flow scenario, which can lead to catastrophic equipment failure and serious operational problems if not designed correctly. The current work aims to shed light on the state of the art modelling and experimentation, important physical phenomena, and recent operational experience surrounding this problem. In addition, recommendations will be provided for future modelling and experimental efforts in order to direct research into avenues that provide valuable information for engineers designing piping and vessels where the flashing of high pressure slurry occurs.

This chapter sets the book in its political landscape – in the aftermath of a relatively narrow defeat for the pro-independence side in Scotland’s 2014 independence referendum. It illustrates that the Scottish national movement developed some constitutional ideas that, being distinct from and yet also embedded within the British constitutional tradition, are worthy of study in their own right, chiefly through the detailed analysis of constitutional texts. These texts shed light not only on the nature of the Scottish national movement, but also on the state-of-the-art of Westminster-derived constitution-making generally, in its global and comparative aspect.

Various authors have emphasized the spatial information resident in an electron micrograph taken with adequately coherent radiation. In view of the completion of at least one such instrument, this opportunity is taken to summarize the state of the art of processing such micrographs. We use the usual symbols for the aberration coefficients, and supplement these with £ and 6 for the transverse coherence length and the fractional energy spread respectively. He also assume a weak, biologically interesting sample, with principal interest lying in the molecular skeleton remaining after obvious hydrogen loss and other radiation damage has occurred.
