  • Early Adventures in Biochemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 1
    • L.A. Stocken + 1 more
    • English
    The account in this inaugural volume of the series covers the period 1900 to 1960, but also outlines the principal developments in earlier centuries from which biochemistry emerged. Findings are considered in the light of present knowledge, rather than in a rigid historical framework.

  • Acid Rain Research: Do We Have Enough Answers?

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 64
    • J.W. Erisman + 1 more
    • English
    Representing the Proceedings of the International Speciality Conference "Acid Rain Research; Do we have enough answers?", this book provides a valuable conclusion to the coordinated research on acidification in the Netherlands from 1985 to 1994. The book focuses on atmospheric deposition, effects of acid deposition on forest ecosystems in the Netherlands, and future acidification research. Special attention is given to: trace gases; ammonia; and particle deposition; and the overall assessment of deposition loads to ecosystems and soils is also discussed.This volume will be invaluable to environmental scientists, ecologists, and those involved in atmospheric science/pollution.

  • Glycoproteins I

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 29
    • J. Montreuil + 2 more
    • English
    Part I covers modern advances in the determination ofglycoprotein structure and in the biosynthesis of mammalian,bacterial, yeast, plant and insect glycoproteins. There are alsotwo chapters on functional aspects (glycoprotein hormones andcollagens).The content of the volume is very comprehensive in that, mostcontributors have focussed on discussing, in depth, the wealthof most recent advances in their field, and referring to previousreviews of older work for background information. This method caneffectively produce a very wide subject coverage in a smallernumber of chapters/volumes.The volume is an importantinformation source for all glycobiologist researchers (seniorinvestigators... post-doctoral fellows and graduate students), andas a good, comprehensive, reference text for scientists working inthe life sciences.

  • Metabolic Biochemistry

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 4
    • T.P. Mommsen + 1 more
    • English
    This fourth volume in the series covers such topics as endogenous fuels, electric organs, histidine-related dipeptides, and origins of luciferins. The book will be invaluable to fisheries scientists, aquaculturists, and animal biochemists, physiologists and endocrinologists; it will provide researchers and students with a pertinent information source from theoretical and experimental angles.

  • The Chemistry and Pharmacology of Taxol® and its Derivatives

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 22
    • H. Timmerman
    • V. Farina
    • English
    Taxol®, a naturally occurring diterpenoid is one of the most exciting antitumor drugs available today. Its current indications (refractory ovarian and metastatic breast cancer) may soon be expanded since the drug is showing activity against lung and head-and-neck cancers.The book opens with a review of the naturally occurring taxoids, a chapter which is not a comprehensive list of all taxoids isolated to date, but attempts a systematic approact to describing the different classes of taxoids, with particular reference to all skeletal types and the various functionality patterns. Biosynthetic studies are also discussed, as well as some of the basic chemistry and common functionalities of taxoidic skeleton. Structural identification of taxoids, mostly by spectroscopic means; the formulation of taxanes; the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of Taxol® are also discussed, as are the chemistry of taxanes in relation to SAR studies; SAR aspects of the phenylisoserine side chain; and the mode of action of the taxanes and the mechanisms of resistance.The book is therefore written for medical chemists, in order to stimulate further research in this area and to provide the reader with the necessary background information to start a research program in the area.

  • Atmospheric Deposition

    In Relation to Acidification and Eutrophication
    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 63
    • J.W. Erisman + 1 more
    • English
    In this book the research on atmospheric deposition of the Dutch Priority Programme on Acidification Research is summarised. Although most research described is of Dutch origin, it has been put into a broader perspective by outlining the state of knowledge on the process affecting atmospheric deposition in Europe. This has resulted in detailed deposition maps for the Netherlands and Europe. The volume is intended for those who measure or model atmospheric deposition and ecologists interested in exposure from atmospheric deposition, as well as policy-makers and students.

  • Catalysis by Microporous Materials

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 94
    • H.K. Beyer + 3 more
    • English
    ZEOCAT '95 is the eleventh in the series of symposia devoted to special fields of zeolite chemistry. Six plenary lectures, forty oral and forty-two poster presentations were included in the program. The accepted papers cover every aspect of catalysis on microporous materials. A significant number of the contributions describe the synthesis, modification, instrumental and chemical characterisation of zeolites and other micro- and mesoporous materials. Catalytic reactions involve hydrocarbon cracking, nucleophilic aromatic substitution, methanol to hydrocarbon conversion, hydration of acetylene, various alkylation reactions, redox transformations, Claisen rearrangement, etc.

  • Finite Elements, Electromagnetics and Design

    • 1st Edition
    • S.R.H. Hoole
    • English
    Advanced topics of research in field computation are explored in this publication. Contributions have been sourced from international experts, ensuring a comprehensive specialist perspective. A unity of style has been achieved by the editor, who has specifically inserted appropriate cross-references throughout the volume, plus a single collected set of references at the end. The book provides a multi-faceted overview of the power and effectiveness of computation techniques in engineering electromagnetics. In addition to examining recent and current developments, it is hoped that it will stimulate further research in the field.

  • Spectrophotometry, Luminescence and Colour; Science & Compliance

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 6
    • Christopher Burgess + 1 more
    • English
    This book contains papers presented at the Second Joint Meeting of the UV Spectrometry Group of the UK and the Council for Optical Radiation Measurements of the USA. Topics included are: compliance and validation in spectrophotometry, advances in spectrophotometric measurements, instrument manufacturers' approaches to compliance, advances in fluorescence techniques and advances in spectrophotometry. The balance of the conference has shifted from the 1986 mix towards more applications but once again the National Laboratories have provided an excellent update on the state-of-the-art in many areas.

  • Geomorphology and Sedimentology of Estuaries

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 53
    • Gerardo M.E. Perillo
    • English
    This is the first book to be entirely devoted to the geomorphology and sedimentology of estuaries. The chapters in the book are structured according to the morphogenetic classification which is based on a new definition of estuaries and covers all areas within this field. The material is presented in such a way that it serves both as a reference for the researcher and as a textbook for use on courses covering estuaries, coastal environments, sedimentology and oceanography.Interna... renowned specialists have provided in-depth descriptions of the geomorphology, sedimentology and interactive processes associated with each particular subject.
