This 50th volume in the British Ceramics Proceedings series includes papers presented at a meeting of the Basic Science Section held in Manchester, UK in December 1991.
Enhanced concern for the quality and safety of food products, increased preference for natural products, and stricter regulations on the residual level of solvents, all contribute to the growing use of supercritical fluid technology as a primary alternative for the extraction, fractionation, and isolation of active ingredients.
Volume 2 From Color Measurement to Metal Effect Pigments With contributions on various industrially important dyes, inorganic pigments and organic pigments, on color measurement and historical pigments, dyes and binders A comprehensive overview on all important dyes, inorganic and organic pigments supplemented by information on all relevant applications and color fundamentals The chapters are clearly structured and arranged in alphabetical order in the 3-volumes.
Practical and provocative, Bioavailability reviews prevalent understanding of the physical-chemical-biological mechanisms that control the bioavailability of both organic and inorganic contaminants in aquatic environments.
Rather than existing in a planktonic or free-living form, evidence indicates that microbes show a preference for living in a sessile form within complex communities called biofilms.
The incorporation of nanomaterials into products can improve performance, efficiency, and durability in various fields ranging from construction, energy management, catalysis, microelectronics, plastics, coatings, and paints to consumer articles such as foods and cosmetics.
The third edition of Foundations of Crystallography with Computer Applications is a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students studying the solid state in chemistry, physics, materials science, geological sciences, and engineering.
A natural long-chain polymer, chitin is the main component of the cell walls of fungi, the exoskeletons of arthropods (including crustaceans and insects), the radulas of mollusks, and the beaks and internal shells of cephalopods.
This book explains the intricacies of one-way shape memory polymers (SMPs), with a particular emphasis on solvent-responsive SMPs focusing on fundamental pathways and key principles crucial to the development of these materials.
Presents the Therapeutic Potential for Caspase Inhibitors: Present and FutureCaspases represent one of the most specific protease families described to date.
The genus Rhodiola (Family Crassulaceae) is indigenous to Northern Canada, Europe and Asia where its rhizomes and roots have been used for centuries for medicinal purposes.
Computational Insights into Catalytic Transformations, Volume 75 in the Advances in Catalysis series, highlights new advances in the field, with this new volume presenting interesting chapters on topics including Quantum Chemical Investigations on Electrophilic F/CF3/SCF3 Transfer Hypervalent Iodine Reagents, Combining DFT and experimental studies in enantioselective catalysis.
Hydrogen has a lot of promise as an alternative to various carbon containing fuels as burning it releases only water which does not contribute to climate change.
Reviewing photo-induced processes that have relevance to a wide number of academic and commercial disciplines, this volume reflects the current interests in chemistry, physics, biology and technology.
Providing the necessary basis for any developments of theoretical thermodynamic models, this book provides a complete collection of practical thermodynamic data for a variety of applications, including: basic and applied chemistry, chemical engineering, thermodynamic research, computational modeling, membrane science and technology, and environmental and green chemistry.
Providing guidance for chemists and other scientists entering pharmaceutical discovery and development, this up-to-the-minute reference presents contributions from an international group of nearly 50 renowned researchers-offering a solid grounding in synthetic and physical organic chemistry, and clarifying the roles of various special
While adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is described as the universal currency of energy in all living organisms at the cellular level, the actual power lies in its phosphate tail.
Uses Computational Tools to Simulate Endocrine Disruption PhenomenaEndocrine Disruption Modeling provides a practical overview of the current approaches for modeling endocrine activity and the related potential adverse effects they may induce on environmental and human health.
One of few books to cover all aspects of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), this volume examines CDKs as molecular and functional entities, their role in various disease processes, and their potential for pharmacological modulation.
