Graham Robinson – författare

Process development bridges the gap between the laboratory synthesis of an organic compound and its industrial manufacture on a large scale. In this concise text the authors use real examples to show the problems which may be encountered in scaling up chemical syntheses and the ways in which these problems may be overcome. The major part of the book is devoted to genuine case histories from ICI/Zeneca Pharmaceuticals. Through a range of carefully chosen examples, the book explains how it is possible to synthesise multi-kilogram quantities of a new organic compound which have been made in the laboratory only on the milligram scale. A wide range of aliphatic, aromatic, and heterocyclic compounds is covered. The book will be of particular value to research chemists who are involved in the development phase of novel compounds and to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in the fine chemicals industry.

Create Amazing Real-Time Motion Graphics with Quartz Composer!

 

Apple’s Quartz Composer makes it amazingly easy to create real-time graphics of all kinds: for screensavers, animations, kiosk art, film effects, Dashboard Widgets, graphically-rich apps, and more. But few content creators use QC, because they’ve had practically no useful help–until now. In this book/DVD bundle, two renowned VJs who’ve pushed this tool to the limit show you how to do it, too!

 

You needn't be a technical expert: Graham Robinson and Surya Buchwald introduce each concept through a hands-on project, with videos demonstrating every step. They start extremely simple, offering beautiful visual feedback and encouraging you to freely explore. The video and text work together to help you build mastery fast, as you create everything from data-driven effects to compelling live performance visuals!

 

Coverage includes

 

Mastering Quartz Composer’s powerful interface Grabbing live inputs from music or cameras for unique interaction and improvisation Outputting video files for everything from smartphone screens to HD video edits Using built-in image filters to add visual effects Creating organic motion with LFOs, interpolation, and trackballs Fixing problems and figuring out what you did wrong Making rain, fire, and other cool stuff with particles Integrating MIDI musical instruments and other audio resources Mastering lighting and timelines Building richer environments with replication, iteration, and 3D modeling Pushing the boundaries with secret patches, CoreImage filters, and GLSL

 If you're a motion graphics designer, filmmaker, VJ, artist, interactive programmer, Cocoa developer, or any other type of "Maker," this book will guide you from acolyte to wizard in no time… and it just might be the most fun instructional you'll ever read!
