The main objective of this series is to offer a practice-oriented survey of techniques
currently used in Medicinal Chemistry. Following the volumes on Hansch analysis
and related approaches (Vol. 1) and multivariate analyses (Vol. 2), the present handbook
focuses on some new, emerging techniques in drug discovery; emphasis is...
Simulation based on mathematical models plays a major role in computer aided design of integrated circuits (ICs). Decreasing structure sizes, increasing packing densities and driving frequencies require the use of refined mathematical models, and to take into account secondary, parasitic effects. This leads to very high dimensional problems...
With obesity and diabetes assuming alarming epidemic proportions, diet and nutrition are in the spotlight more than ever before. It has never been more important for health care professionals to be well informed, not only about the latest developments, but also about the scientific facts. The Pocket Atlas of Nutrition is an accessible guide...
