Food Irradiation Research and Technology

John Wiley & Sons, 2012

The benefits of food irradiation to the public health have been described extensively by organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the USA and the World Health Organization. The American Medical Association and the American Dietetic Association have both endorsed the irradiation process. Yet the potential health...

BioMEMS and Biomedical Nanotechnology

Springer, 2006

Numerous miniaturized DNA microarray, DNA chip, Lab on a Chip and biosensor devices have been developed and commercialized. Such devices are improving theway many important genomic and proteomic analyses are performed in both research and clinical diagnostic laboratories. The development of these technologies was enabled by a...

Thermodynamics of Biochemical Reactions

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

This book is about the thermodynamics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions that make up the metabolism of living organisms. It is not an introductory text, but the fundamental principles of thermodynamics are reviewed. The reader does need some background in thermodynamics, such as that provided by a first course in physical...

Textbook of Drug Design and Discovery, Fourth Edition

CRC Press, 2009

The molecular biological revolution and the mapping of the human genome continue to provide new challenges and opportunities for drug research and design. Future medicinal chemists and drug designers must have a firm background in a number of related scientific disciplines in order to understand the conversion of new insight into lead...

Pheromones and Animal Behavior: Chemical Signals and Signatures

Cambridge University Press, 2014

Pheromones and other kinds of chemical communication underlie the behavior of all animals. Building on the strengths of the first edition, widely recognized as the leading text in the subject, this is a comprehensive overview of how pheromones work. Extensively revised and expanded to cover advances made over the last ten years, the book...

Strained Hydrocarbons: Beyond the van't Hoff and Le Bel Hypothesis

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

In clearly structured chapters, this book covers the fascinating world of hydrocarbons, providing an insight into the fundamental principles of chemistry. The monograph covers modern aspects of the topic, such as carbon nanotubes, molecular flask inclusion, and fullerenes, with new synthetic procedures for the build up of the structural lattice...

The Hundred-Year Lie: How to Protect Yourself from the Chemicals That Are Destroying Your Health

Plume, 2007

In a devastating exposé in the tradition of Silent Spring and Fast Food Nation, investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald warns how thousands of man-made chemicals in our food, water, medicine, and environment are making humans the most polluted species on the planet. A century ago in 1906, when Congress enacted the...

Biochemistry of Signal Transduction and Regulation

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

This book has originated from lectures on regulation and signal transduction that are offered to students of biochemistry, biology and chemistry at the University of Bayreuth. The idea to write a book on signal transduction was born during the preparations of these lectures where I realized that it is extremely difficult to achieve...

G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Drug Discovery (Drug Discovery Series)

CRC Press, 2005

The broad range of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) encompasses all areas of modern medicine and have an enormous impact on the process of drug development. Using disease-oriented methods to cover everything from screening to expression and crystallization, G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Drug Discovery describes the physiological...

Introductory Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach

McGraw-Hill, 2016

From its very origin, Introductory Chemistry: An Atoms First Approach by Julia Burdge and Michelle Driessen has been developed and written using an atomsâfirst approach specific to introductory chemistry. It is not a pared down version of a general chemistry text, but carefully crafted with the introductoryâchemistry student...

Numerical Quantum Dynamics (Progress in Theoretical Chemistry and Physics)

Springer, 2001

This book describes computational methods used in quantum dynamics with emphasis on small quantum systems. Computational physics is a fundamental physical discipline at the forefront of physical research. Thus it is an indisputable fact that computational physics form part of the essential landscape of physical science and education. In the...

Explorations in Quantum Computing (Texts in Computer Science)

Springer, 2008

In the decade since the publication of the first edition of “Explorations in Quantum Computing” the field has blossomed into a rich and diverse body of knowledge, and tremendous progress has been made on building functional quantum computer hardware. Yet I find that a discussion of applications of quantum computers still remains...
