  • Fundamentals of Interface and Colloid Science

    Fundamentals
    • 1st Edition
    • January 28, 1991
    • J. Lyklema

    Fundamentals of Interface and Colloid Science sets out the fundamental physical chemical concepts behind interface and colloid science. Starting from elementary principles, including those of classical thermodynamics and intermolecular interaction, it gradually progresses to more advanced topics such as partition functions and stochastic processes. Relevant mathematical techniques are explained in appendices. All that is required of the reader is a basic knowledge of physical chemistry, and research workers and graduates interested in colloid and interface science will welcome the wide ranging knowledge presented by the author and a team of experts. The discussions of many applications make the book of particular interest to those involved in practical research.

    Advances in Detailed Reaction Mechanisms, Volume 1: Radical, Single Electron Transfer, and Concerted Reactions presents the unique properties of reactions. This book discusses the approaches to synthetic strategies, including nucleophilic substitution and the study of the radicals of the amino acids. Organized into four chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the complications that can arise in mechanistic probe investigations. This text then examines the development of free radicals that reflects several factors, including the recognition that their unique characteristics may be harnessed in simple approaches to synthetic strategies. Other chapters consider the variety and types of reaction that free radicals can undergo. This book discusses as well the factors that affect the formation and reaction of α-carbon-centered radicals derived from amino acids and their derivatives. The final chapter deals with deuterium isotope effects as well as fluorine substituent effects. This book is a valuable resource for physical organic chemists.

    • E.J. Karjalainen
    • English
    This book comprises a large selection of papers presented at the second European Scientific Computing and Automation meeting (SCA 90 (Europe)) which was held in June 1990 in Maastricht, The Netherlands. The increasing use of computers for making measurements, interpreting data, and filing results brings a new unity to science. SCA concentrates on common computer-based tools which are useful in several disciplines. Practical problems in laboratory automation, robotics and information management with LIMS are covered in depth. The process of designing and acquiring a LIMS is described and standards for data transfer between instruments, between LIMS and instruments and between different LIMS are discussed. The applications of statistics and expert systems are covered in several chapters. Strategies for drug design are discussed with various practical examples. Finally the display of scientific results as images and computer-based animations is demonstrated by several examples with their color illustrations. The book should be of interest to those managing R&D projects, doing research in laboratories, acquiring or planning LIMS, designing instruments and laboratory automation systems and those involved in data analysis of scientific results.
