    Microbial Processing of Metal Sulfides
    (Springer, 2007) Donati Edgado R.; Wolfgang Sand
    The application of microbiological methods to the extraction of metals from minerals has gained a prominent role. It is supported by several bioleaching and biooxidation processes operating at different sites worldwide. In recent years, new techniques and new results about proteomics and bioinformatics have brought a new perspective on microbial processes. This book focuses on the basic aspects of the process with special emphasis on recent contributions regarding the chemical and microbial aspects of the bioleaching process and the use of microorganisms in the treatment of complex ores and concentrates. It has been written by recognized researchers in order to introduce the main subjects of microbial processing to undergraduate and postgraduate students, scientists working in this field, as well as interested industrialists.

    BASIC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
    (S. CHAND & COMPANY PVT. LTD., 2008) V.K. MEHTA; ROHIT MEHTA
    Everybody is familiar with the functions that electricity can perform. It can be used for lighting, heating, traction and countless other purposes. The question always arises, “What is electricity” ? Several theories about electricity were developed through experiments and by observation of its behaviour. The only theory that has survived over the years to explain the nature of electricity is the Modern Electron theory of matter. This theory has been the result of research work conducted by scientists like Sir William Crooks, J.J. Thomson, Robert A. Millikan, Sir Earnest Rutherford and Neils Bohr. In this chapter, we shall deal with some basic concepts concerning electricity.
