The existence of multiple sulfotransferases (SULTS) was first discovered in 1958. Since then, any attempts to create a comprehensive text dedicated to sulfation and sulfotransferases have been rare and, thanks to rapid advances in molecular biology and biochemistry, quickly outdated. However, those advances have permitted an accelerated...
The Socratic, or dialog, form is central to the history of philosophy and has been the discipline's canonical genre ever since. Paul Feyerabend's Three Dialogues on Knowledge resurrects the form to provide an astonishingly flexible and invigorating analysis of epistemological, ethical and metaphysical problems. He uses literary...
This book is the result of more than five years of intensive research in collaboration with a
large number of people. Since the beginning, our goal has been to understand at a deeper
level how information-theoretic security ideas can help build more secure networks and
communication systems. Back in 2008, the actual planwas to...
Creatine and creatine phosphate (CP, also called phosphocreatine, PCr) are
important metabolites in high-energy phosphorus metabolism. They rank
with dietary carbohydrates fats, proteins and other compounds as central
components of the metabolic system involved in the provision of energy for
work and exercise performance....
Survey of Industrial Chemistry arose from a need for a basic text dealing with industrial chemistry for use in a one semester, three-credit senior level course taught at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. This edition covers all important areas of the chemical industry, yet it is reasonable that it can be covered in 40 hours of lecture....
This book was written to provide students, engineers, and scientists
involved in pattern recognition, digital image processing, and artificial
intelligence with a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and tech-
niques of syntactic pattern recognition.
Syntactic pattern recognition is concerned with the...
A comprehensive resource on the past, present, and future of space technology
Researchers in optics, materials processing, and telecommunications require a reference that can provide a quick study of a number of basic topics in space science. The two-volume Encyclopedia of Space Science and Technology represents an ambitious...
Practicing evidenced-based medicine some 25 centuries ago, Hippocrates proclaimed "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." This advice parallels the common American saying, "You are what you eat," and is supported by a National Institute of Health recommendation to consume as many as eight servings of fruits...
Progress in Inorganic Chemistry continues in its tradition of being the most respected forum for exchanging innovative research. This series provides inorganic chemists and materials scientists with a community where critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline are exchanged. With contributions from...
In Geography and GIS, surfaces can be analysed and visualised through various data structures, and topological data structures describe surfaces in the form of a relationship between certain surface-specific features. Drawn from many disciplines with a strong applied aspect, this is a research-led, interdisciplinary approach to the creation,...
Ideal as a reference or quick review of the fundamentals of linear algebra, this book offers a matrix-oriented approach--with more emphasis on Euclidean n-space, problem solving, and applications, and less emphasis on abstract vector spaces. It features a variety of applications, boxed statements of important...
Since its discovery in 1957, Coenzyme Q has piqued the interest of scientists from a wide range of disciplines because of its bioenergetics, vitamin-like behavior, and interactions with antioxidant vitamins E and C. Coenzyme Q: Molecular Mechanisms in Health and Disease is a comprehensive treatise on this often-studied coenzyme. International...
