Basic Neurochemistryby Scott Brady; George Siegel; R. Wayne Albers; Donald Price
Elsevier Science 2011; US$ 125.00Basic Neurochemistry: Principles of Molecular, Cellular, and Medical Neurobiology, the outstanding and comprehensive classic text on neurochemistry, is now newly updated and revised in its Eighth Edition. For more than forty years, this text has been the worldwide standard for information on the biochemistry of the nervous system, serving as a resource for postgraduate trainees and teachers in neurology, psychiatry, and basic neuroscience, as well as for medical, graduate, and postgraduate students and instructors in the neurosciences. The text has evolved, as intended, with the science. It is also an excellent source of current information on basic biochemical and cellular processes in brain function and neurological diseases for continuing... more...
Update on Mouldable Particle Foam Technologyby Robin Britton
iSmithers Rapra Publishing 2009; US$ 135.00Moulded particle (bead) foam products are nowadays ubiquitous, in packaging and construction, from drinking cups to motorway foundations. The industry which started with Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) has grown spectacularly and now also includes Expanded Polypropylene and Expanded Polyethylene, and its technology and machinery has become so specialised that it is seen as an almost isolated branch of the plastics industry. The first part of this update summarises the present status of particle foam technology and how specific challenges have already driven its development. This includes the potential threats to the fire retardants and blowing agents which have been used for many years and the continuing demand for ever lighter foam products with... more...
Introduction To Liquid Crystalsby Peter Collings; Michael Hird
CRC Press 1997; US$ 59.95An introduction to the subject of liquid crystals, this text combines both chemistry and physics topics in liquid crystals and includes meanings of all but the most basic terms used. More advanced chemical and physical concepts and specialized more...
Glow Discharge Plasmas in Analytical Spectroscopyby R. Kenneth Marcus; José Broekaert; A. C.
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 389.00This multi-author, edited volume includes chapters which deal with both basic and highly complex applications. Glow discharge devices are now being used in very novel ways for the analysis of liquids and gases, including molecular species detection and identification, an area that was beyond the perceived scope of applicability just ten years ago. It is expected that the next decade will see a growth in the interest and application of glow discharge devices far surpassing the expectations of the last century. Responding to the rapid growth in the field Includes both GD-MS and GD-AES In-depth coverage of applications Co-edited by the top names in the field in Europe and US, with high calibre contributions from around the world more...
Catalysts for Fine Chemical Synthesisby Stanley M. Roberts; Geraldine Poignant
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 300.00Catalysts are increasingly used by chemists engaged in fine chemical synthesis within both industry and academia. Today, there exists a huge choice of high-tech catalysts, which add enormously to the repertoire of synthetic possibilities. However, catalysts are occasionally capricious, sometimes difficult to use and almost always require both skill and experience in order to achieve optimal results. This series aims to be a practical help for advanced undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, as well as experienced chemists in industry and academia working in organic and organometallic synthesis. The series features: * Tested and validated procedures. * Authoritative reviews on classes of catalysts. * Assessments of all types of catalysts.... more...

Polymersby Adisa Azapagic; Alan Emsley; Ian Hamerton
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2003; US$ 279.00"… an accessible treatment of this crucial area …" (Materials World, May 2003) In light of new regulations in the EU, America, and Japan, polymer producers have been forced to recycle. This book provides discussion on the impact of reusing polymers such as plastic and rubber on the environment. Timely information on the environmental impact of polymer recycling Each chapter contains relevant sample questions and answers Contains chapters on the economics and legislation of recycling, and on LCA Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of polymer recycling Essential reading for students, as well as an invaluable reference guide for technologists and industrialists, in the vast arena of environmental and polymer... more...
LC/MS Applications in Drug Developmentby Mike S. Lee
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 146.00Breakthroughs in combinatorial chemistry and molecular biology, as well as an overall industry trend toward accelerated development, mean the rate of sample generation now far exceeds the rate of sample analysis in the pursuit of producing new and better pharmaceuticals. LC/MS is an analytical tool that helps the researcher identify the most promising sample early in the selection process, effectively creating a shortcut to finding new drugs. This book is the first to describe LC/MS applications within the context of drug development, including the discovery, preclinical, clinical, and manufacturing phases. In addition to the thorough technical analysis of this tool, LC/MS Applications in Drug Development provides perspective on the significant... more...
Solid-Phase Synthesis and Combinatorial Technologiesby Pierfausto Seneci
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2003; US$ 195.00A unique, integrated look at solid-phase synthesis and advances in combinatorial chemistry and technologies The last decade has seen a rapid expansion in combinatorial technologies, a field where chemistry disciplines intersect with automation, statistics, and information science, as well as certain biological disciplines. Reflecting these multidisciplinary trends, this new work provides a comprehensive overview of the most important aspects of solid-phase synthesis (SPS), combinatorial chemistry, and related combinatorial technologies. It clearly demonstrates how SPS and combinatorial chemistry have extended their application from the pharmaceutical arena to new areas, including biotechnology, material sciences, catalysis, and agrochemical... more...
