Today, arylation methods are belonging to the most important reaction types in organic synthesis. Lutz Ackermann, a young and ambitious professor has gathered a number of top international authors to present the first comprehensive book on the topic.
Starting from a historical review, the book covers hot topics like...

Supramolecular chemistry has become not only a major field of chemistry, but is also a vivid interface between chemistry, biology, physics, and materials science. Although still a relatively young field, termini such as molecular recognition, host-guest chemistry, or self-assembly are now common knowledge even for chemistry students, and...

The book appears just as research intensifies into metric spaces and especially, distance design for applications. These distances are particularly crucial,...

Web Service Mining: Application to Discoveries of Biological Pathways presents the major issues and solutions to mining services on the Web. This book focuses specifically on a reference framework for Web service mining that is inspired by molecular recognition and the drug discovery process; known as a molecular-based approach. Web Service...

For more than seventy years, Clinical Neuroanatomy has delivered a streamlined, comprehensive, and easy-to-remember synopsis of neuroanatomy and its functional and clinical...

Research on the biochemistry and molecular biology of lipids and lipoproteins has experienced remarkable growth in the last 20 years, particularly with the realization that many different classes of lipids play fundamental roles in diseases such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The 5th edition of...

R is a powerful and flexible statistical and graphical environment that is freely distributed under the GNU Public Licencea for all major computing platforms (Windows, MacOSX and Linux). This open source licence along with a relatively simple scripting syntax has promoted diverse and rapid evolution and contribution. As the broader scientific...

The aim of this book is to give an account of the scientific field of genetics based on visual displays of selected concepts and related facts. Additional information is presented in the introduction, with a chronological list of important discoveries and advances in the history of genetics, in an appendix with supplementary data in tables,...

A pocket atlas flexibook on this wide-ranging field, aimed at students of medicine and biology alike. Complex processes are illustrated in clear images that are not burdened with unnecessary details. Following an introductory part and a section on laboratory methods in immunology, the bulk of the book concentrates on the manifestations of...

With the advent of digital computers more than half a century ago, researchers working in a wide range of scientific disciplines have obtained an extremely powerful tool to pursue deep understanding of natural processes in physical, chemical, and biological systems. Computers pose a great challenge to mathematical sciences, as the range of...

Ecologists sometimes have a less-than-rigorous background in quantitative methods, yet research within this broad field is becoming increasingly mathematical. Written in a step-by-step fashion, Fractals and Multifractals in Ecology and...

Leading basic researchers and clinical scientists describe in detail a wide variety of established and cutting-edge techniques they have developed to study the lifecycle and biological properties of the human papillomavirus. The authors use these readily reproducible methods, ranging from PCR to propagation of HPV in vitro, to detect and type...
