  • The Immune System

    Genes, Receptors, Signals
    • 1st Edition
    • Eli E. Sercarz + 2 more
    • English
    The Immune System: Genes Receptors, Signals provides information pertinent to the complexity of immune mechanisms. This book describes the immune response genes and products, which point to another multigene system controlling immune responsiveness. Organized into 37 chapters, this book begins with an overview of the details of antibody structure that continue to be of importance to an understanding of the regulation of the immune reactions. This text then examines the evidence that individual antibody species are capable of binding many structurally dissimilar haptens. Other chapters consider the conceptual framework generally accepted by immunologists, which states that antibodies are specific for the antigen used to elicit the immune response. This book discusses as well the mechanism underlying the biosynthesis of antibody binding sites, which is unprecedented in its adaptability. The final chapter deals with the genetic controls of specific immune responses. This book is a valuable resource for immunologists and research workers.

The third part tackles chemical structure and biological activities, such as structure-activity relationships in derivatives of anticholinesterase insecticides and the fungicidal activity of acyl anilines. The book will be of great interest to professionals and researchers whose work involves pesticides.

  • Practical Handbook on Spectral Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • V. S. Burakov + 1 more
    • English
    Practical Handbook on Spectral Analysis focuses on visual and photographic methods of spectral analysis. The book aims to present the problems on the methods used in carrying out spectral analysis of materials encountered in practice in industrial laboratories. The handbook first offers information on light sources for spectral analysis and visual methods of spectral analysis. Discussions focus on alternating current arcs, spark generators, direct current arcs, essentials of visual methods of spectral analysis, and preparation of samples and electrodes for carrying out the analysis. The text then takes a look at the photographic methods of spectral analysis, as well as equipment for the photographic recording of spectra, properties and treatment of photographic materials, and principles of quantitative spectral analysis. The publication ponders on procedures for the spectrographic quantitative analysis of metals and alloys and methods of spectral analysis of powders and solutions. Topics include development of procedures for quantitative spectral analysis; obtaining standards and preparing specimens for analysis; and analysis of copper-base alloys, cast irons, high-alloy steels, and aluminum-base alloys. The manuscript also takes a look at the setting up of a spectral analysis laboratory. The handbook is a dependable reference for readers interested in the visual and photographic methods of spectral analysis.

  • Chemical Technology

    • 1st Edition
    • F. A. Henglein
    • English
    Chemical Technology is based on lectures the author gave at the Technische Hochschule of Karlsruhe and at the University of Freiburg. Part 1 of this book deals with chemical technology and describes subjects dealing with apparatus, unit operations, and chemical economics. The text reviews industrial chemical reactions, raw materials preparation for reaction, thermal and catalytic processes, and a history of chemical technology. This part also addresses transportation, storage of raw materials, and the design and construction of a chemical factory. Part 2 concerns special chemical technology, including topics such as raw material upgrading; processing of products in the chemical industry; and unit processes application toward consumer goods production. This part reviews materials sourcing from animals, minerals, and vegetables, such as processing of products from living organisms, the recovery of sugar, starch, and other carbohydrates. The book also reviews products of the chemical industry including low-molecular weight consumer goods, detergents, aromas, explosives, plastics, elastomers, synthetic leather, textile, and some building materials. Chemistry students, chemical and process technology students, and mechanical engineering students with interest in chemistry will find this book valuable.

  • A Theory That Any Organism Is a Single Chemical Molecule

    Put Forward as the Key to the Problem of the Causation of Neoplasms
    • 1st Edition
    • T. L. Cleave
    • English
    A Theory that any Organism is a Single Chemical Molecule focuses on the reactions, transformations, properties, technologies, and approaches involved in the study of molecules. The book first underscores the reasons in saying that a multicellular organism is in reality fundamentally unicellular. The text then elaborates on the molecular conception of organisms, including unicellular plant organism, multicellular plant organism, and a unicellular animal organism and a multicellular animal organism. The publication also highlights the molecular conception of neoplasms. The manuscript also takes a look at the explanation of other activities in an organism by the molecular theory. Discussions focus on embryonic development, animal heart, movement, pleasure and pain, and mind. The publication is a reliable source of data for readers interested in the structure and composition of organisms.

  • Progress in Heterocyclic Chemistry
