Acknowledgments
I wish to express my hearty appreciation to Dr. D.K. Salunkhe and Dr. G.W.
Miller, both Professors Emeritus at Utah State University, for having me as a
graduate student to work in their laboratories. Their guidance has contributed
much to the teaching and research career I followed after my graduation.
Several instructors kindly reviewed the first edition of my book and made
valuable suggestions. Wherever possible, I have incorporated their suggestions
into this edition. I am indebted to my wife Ervena for her support and
assistance throughout my preparation of this volume. In addition, my
appreciation also goes to the members of the editorial office at CRC Press
for their patience and assistance.
