Ali Hassan – författare

For fans of Russell Peters, Trevor Noah, and Mark Critch comes a hilarious debut memoir about family, pursuing our passions, and figuring out who we are, by stand-up comedian and popular CBC host, Ali Hassan.Growing up, Ali Hassan was a chameleon. His friends came from many different backgrounds and religions—Trinidadian, Parsi, Goan, Hindu, Christian, Sikh. And as a hockey-playing, Crock-Pot–using young man who also knew the words to at least ten Blue Rodeo songs, he could blend in everywhere. But the world has a funny way of reminding you who you are, and Hassan’s Muslim Pakistani family and community did, too. In this heartfelt and funny memoir, based on his hit stand-up comedy, Hassan shares his lifelong journey to becoming a “cultural Muslim”—learning to walk the line of embracing his heritage while following his passions and being true to himself. From failing to learn Arabic—or much of anything—in Sunday school and visiting family in Pakistan who mocked him relentlessly, to discovering the wonders of pepperoni as a teenager and being a celebrity judge at Ribfest, he finds himself in compromising situations that challenge his beliefs and identity. Now, as a father of four, he has to answer his children’s questions and try to explain his point of view. But he can’t just “give them” an identity as a cultural Muslim. Sharing his story is the next best thing. With the perfect blend of humour and insight, Is There Bacon in Heaven? explores the deep need to belong that exists in everyone.

Die Betriebswirtschaftslehre für Chemiker bietet eine umfassende, gut verständliche und interessante Einführung in die Betriebswirtschaftslehre, die sich vor allem (aber nicht nur) an Chemiker, Chemieingenieure und andere Naturwissenschaftler wendet. Um die praktische Relevanz der Betriebswirtschaftslehre zu verdeutlichen, umfasst das Buch neben der grundlegenden Darstellung der betriebswirtschaftlichen Zusammenhänge auch eine Reihe chemiespezifischer Unterkapitel, in denen praxisorientiert Themen diskutiert werden, die für die chemisch-pharmazeutische Industrie in Deutschland von besonderer Bedeutung sind.

Umweltmanagementsystemen in Forschung und Entwicklung der chemischen Industrie kommt eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Etablierung eines produktionsintegrierten Umweltschutzes zu. Gerade dieser Bereich bestimmt entscheidend das Ausmaß der aktuellen und zukünftigen Umweltauswirkungen. Die Autoren zeigen, wie durch den Aufbau von Umweltmanagementsystemen das Verhältnis von additivem zu produktionsintegriertem Umweltschutz kontinuierlich verbessert werden kann. Hierbei steht die methodische Unterstützung bei der Entscheidungsfindung durch die Integration von Umweltschutzkriterien im Mittelpunkt.

This book describes the importance of heat transfer in heat exchangers, and fluids properties play a vital role to increase heat transfer rate translating the size of the equipment and cuts in the capital and running cost in the long term. Nanofluids applications in heat exchangers will help to improve the thermophysical properties of the fluid and therefore heat transfer. And, this book explains the enhancing mechanisms of heat transfer by employing nanofluids in heat exchangers. A critical discussion will enable to estimate the pros and cons of such fluids in different types of heat exchangers. Prevailing working conditions for short- and long-term implementation of various types of nanofluids will be discussed and introduced to the readers. This book helps the researchers, scientist and academicians working in the domain to be able to get a comprehensive knowledge at one place regarding the preparation, properties, measurements, data reduction, characteristics and applications of nanofluids in heat exchangers.
