Tristram Chivers, Ian Manners, "Inorganic Rings and Polymers of the p-Block Elements: From Fundamentals to Applications"
Royal Society of Chemistry | 2009 | ISBN: 1847559069 | 335 pages | PDF | 10,3 MB
This unique book provides comprehensive coverage of monocyclic inorganic ring systems of the p-block elements and the polymers that are derived from them. The book deals firstly with the fundamentals covering the following topics - synthetic methods, characterisation techniques, delocalisation in inorganic rings, paramagnetic inorganic rings, inorganic macrocycles, ligand chemistry and inorganic polymers. The next chapters discuss in detail the chemistry of inorganic homo- and heterocycles involving the elements of groups 13-16 (the p-block elements). The book is intended primarily for senior undergraduates and graduate students in inorganic chemistry and research workers, it also provides a suitable introduction and overview for chemists who are not working directly in the field.
Broder J. Merkel, Britta Planer-Friedrich - Groundwater Geochemistry: A Practical Guide to Modeling of Natural and Contaminated Aquatic Systems
Springer | 2005 | ISBN: 3540241957 | Pages: 200 | PDF | 2.70 MB
The 2nd edition of "Groundwater Geochemistry – A practical guide to modeling of natural and contaminated aquatic systems" remains the comprehensive text book offering beginners and advanced modellers alike a minimum theoretical background and a strong focus on the practical solution of geochemical modeling with PHREEQC.
The new edition covers the possibility to use PITZER equation and the CD music concept within the new version of PHREEQC. Examples for reactive transport use PHREEQC´s 1d features with multicomponent diffusion as well as PHAST with the graphical user interface GoPhast on 2d and 3d examples. Implementing uncertainties of thermodynamically data is addressed by means of the program Ljungskile. As in the 1st edition, detailed descriptions on how to solve each problem step by step guide the user from basic to more and more advanced hydrogeochemical modelling.
Brian McNeil, Linda Harvey, "Practical Fermentation Technology"
Wiley | 2008 | ISBN: 0470014342 | 402 pages | PDF | 20,6 MB
A hands-on book which begins by setting the context;- defining 'fermentation' and the possible uses of fermenters, and setting the scope for the book. It then proceeds in a methodical manner to cover the equipment for research scale fermentation labs, the different types of fermenters available, their uses and modes of operation. Once the lab is equipped, the issues of fermentation media, preservation strains and strain improvement strategies are documented, along with the use of mathematical modelling as a method for prediction and control. Broader questions such as scale-up and scale down, process monitoring and data logging and acquisition are discussed before separate chapters on animal cell culture systems and plant cell culture systems. The final chapter documents the way forward for fermenters and how they can be used for non-manufacturing purposes. A glossary of terms at the back of the book (along with a subject index) will prove invaluable for quick reference.Edited by academic consultants who have years of experience in fermentation technology, each chapter is authored by experts from both industry and academia.
The Science of Sugar Confectionery
Publisher: Royal Society of Chemistry | ISBN: 0854045937 | edition 2001 | PDF | 166 pages | 11,74 mb
Confectionery is a topic close to many people's hearts and its manufacture involves some interesting science. The confectionery industry is divided into three classes: chocolate, flour and sugar confectionery. It is the background science of this latter category that is covered in "The Science of Sugar Confectionery." The manufacture of confectionery is not a science-based industry, as these products have traditionally been created by skilled confectioners working empirically. In fact, scientific understanding of the production process has only been acquired retroactively. Historically, however, sugar confectionery has had technological synergies with the pharmaceutical industry, such as making sugar tablets and applying panned sugar coatings. This book gives an introduction to the subject, with some basic definitions and commonly used ingredients and then moves on to discuss the chemistry of various types of sugar confectionery. These include "sugar glasses" (boiled sweets), "grained sugar products" (fondants), toffees and fudges, "hydrocolloids" (gums, pastilles and jellies) and concludes with a chapter dedicated to sugar-free confectionery.

Publisher: Academic Press | ISBN: 0124695531 | edition 1999 | PDF | 372 pages | 14,22 mb
Alkaloids are a major group of natural products derived from a wide variety of organisms, which are used as medicinal and biological agents. This series is world-renowned as the leading compilation of current reviews of this vast field. Internationally acclaimed for more than forty years, The Alkaloids , founded by the late Professor R.H.F. Manske, continues to provide outstanding coverage of the rapidly expanding field of the chemotaxonomy, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis, and biology of all classes of alkaloids from higher and lower plants, marine organisms, or various terrestrial animals. Each volume provides, through its distinguished authors, up-to-date and detailed coverage of particular classes or sources of alkaloids. Over the years, this series has become the standard in natural product chemistry to which all other book series aspire. The Alkaloids: Chemistry and Biology endures as an essential reference for all natural product chemists and biologists who have an interest in alkaloids, their diversity, and their unique biological profile.
Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs by: David E. Thurston
Publisher: CRC Press | 1 Dec 2006 | ISBN: 0849392195 | Pages: 312 | PDF | 6.6 MB
Following a review of cancer causes and progression, current treatments, and the philosophy of drug discovery, this comprehensive work surveys anticancer agents currently in use or in advanced stages of clinical trials, including biological agents. Ideal for those involved in anticancer drug research, the book provides molecular structures for each agent and discusses their history, chemistry, mechanisms of action, structure-function relationships, relevant pharmacology, cytotoxicity, side effects, and formulation issues. It also discusses new research tools, methodologies, tumor-targeting strategies, and the emerging areas of oncogenomics and chemoprevention.
While drug therapies developed in the last 50 years have markedly improved the management of some types of cancers, treatment outcomes, and drug side-effects for the most common types remain unacceptable. However, recent technological advances are leading to improved therapies based on targeting distinct biological pathways in cancer cells. Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs is a comprehensive survey of all families of anticancer agents currently in use or in advanced stages of clinical trials, including biologicals.
The book is unique in providing molecular structures for all anticancer drugs, discussing them in terms of history, chemistry, mechanism of action, structure-function relationships, and pharmacology. It also provides some relevant information on side effects, dosing, and formulation. The author, a renowned scientist in cancer research and drug development, also provides up-to-date information on the drug discovery process, including new research tools, tumor-targeting strategies, and fundamental concepts in the emerging areas of personalized medicine (e.g., oncogenomics) and chemoprevention.
Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs is an indispensable resource for cancer researchers, medicinal chemists, and other biomedical scientists involved in the development of new anticancer treatments. Its breadth of coverage also makes it suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in medicine, pharmacy, nursing, and related disciplines.

Although there is a shortage of light petroleum, there is plenty of heavy petroleum rich in macromolecules available, creating an increasing interest for processes that can convert these heavy oils to light oils. Process Chemistry of Petroleum Macromolecules provides the scientific basis for such processes. This book presents methods to determine the potential for improvement. Topics include characterization, thermal kinetics, phase behavior, and separation. Revealing that the science of petroleum macromolecules is much simpler and exciting than imagined, it also discusses macromolecules that self-associate, liquid crystalline phases, reactions triggered by phase separation, and solutes that are both dispersed and dissolved.
