The field of medical toxicology can be simply divided into animal and human poisonings from animal, plant,
or man-made sources. Even more precisely, toxinology is the study of poisoning and envenoming by biological
organisms, and toxicology is the study of human poisoning from manmade sources. Living organisms,
such as animals,...
This book helps chemical and other engineers develop their skills for solving mathematical models using Maple. These mathematical models can consist of systems of algebraic, ordinary, and partial differential equations. Maple’s ‘dsolve’ is used to obtain solutions for many of these models. Maple worksheets are provided on the...
Everyone relies on the power of computers, including chemical
and pharmaceutical laboratories. Increasingly faster and more exact
simulation algorithms have made quantum chemistry a valuable
tool in the search for bioactive substances. The much larger
computational cost is more than compensated by a deeper understanding
of...
Dietary cancer prophylaxis is based on the detailed knowledge of carcinogenic and anticarcinogenic properties of food constituents. Although much data has been collected on these elements, an understanding of the causal mechanisms that link diet and cancer is still evolving. Carcinogenic and Anticarcinogenic Food Components explains the broad...
