The book examines the possibility of integrating different membrane unit operations (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration, reverse osmosis, electrodialysis and gas separation) in the same industrial cycle or in combination with conventional separation systems. It gives careful analysis of the technical aspects, and the possible fields of industrial development. The book reviews many original solutions in water desalination, agro-food productions and wastewater treatments,...
Man mochte vor dem Experiment die Warmeentwicklung einer Reaktion abschatzen, eine neue Syntheseidee auf Plausibilitat prufen oder die Kenngro?en einer neuen Substanz in Beziehung zu bereits bekannten setzen – dies bedeutet meist fur jeden Wissenschaftler einen zeitaufwendigen Besuch in der Bibliothek. In diesem Buch sind die Daten fur alle wichtigen anorganischen und organischen Substanzen zuverlassig und schnell zu finden. Diese kompakte Datensammlung enthalt genau die Werte, die jeder...
Programme fur Medizingerate mussen der Norm IEC 62304 entsprechen. Diese Software-Norm ist sehr vielseitig und eignet sich fur alle moglichen Projektarten und -gro?en. Immer wieder treten dabei Spezialfalle auf, in denen die Norm individuell ausgelegt werden muss. Aus der Mitarbeit an der Norm, einer umfangreichen FAQ-Liste, der Beratung von Software-Entwicklern und vielen Diskussionen und Schulungen haben die Autoren eine Fulle von Erfahrungen gesammelt, die sie in dem Buch prasentieren. Dabei...
Die Massenspektrometrie, besonders in Kombination mit anderen Verfahren hat sich mittlerweile zu einer der wichtigsten Analysemethoden entwickelt, und zwar nicht nur in der Chemie, sondern auch in Nachbardisziplinen wie der Umweltanalytik, den Polymerwissenschaften, oder der Medizin. Die Neuaufl age dieser bewahrten Einfuhrung vermittelt den Nutzern die Grundlagen der Massenspektrometrie, tragt aber auch den rasanten Weiterentwicklungen der letzten Jahre Rechnung. Neben apparativen...
Heterocycles in Life and Society is an introduction to the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds, focusing on their origin and occurrence in nature, biochemical significance and wide range of applications. Written in a readable and accessible style, the book takes a multidisciplinary approach to this extremely important area of organic chemistry. Topics covered include an introduction to the structure and properties of heterocycles; the key role of heterocycles in important life processes such as...
Opens the door to the sustainable production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals Driven by both public demand and government regulations, pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturers are increasingly seeking to replace stoichiometric reagents used in synthetic transformations with catalytic routes in order to develop greener, safer, and more cost-effective chemical processes. This book supports the discovery, development, and implementation of new catalytic methodologies on a process scale,...

In Chemical Biology in Regenerative Medicine, an international team of experts provides an overview of progress towards clinical application in the areas of transplantation...
The field of Bioinorganic Chemistry has grown significantly in recent years; now one of the major sub-disciplines of Inorganic Chemistry, it has also pervaded other areas of the life sciences due to its highly interdisciplinary nature. Bioinorganic Chemistry: Inorganic Elements in the Chemistry of Life, Second Edition provides a detailed introduction to the role of inorganic elements in biology, taking a systematic element-by-element approach to the topic. The second edition of this classic text...
Healthcare professionals, including doctors, pharmacists and nurses, are often confronted with patients who use over-the-counter (OTC) herbal medicinal products and food supplements. While taking responsibility for one’s own health and treatment options is encouraged, many patients use these products based on limited (and sometimes inaccurate) information from non-scientific sources, such as the popular press and internet. There is a clear need to offer balanced, well-informed advice to...
In the last decade DNA sequencing costs have decreased over a magnitude, largely because of increasing throughput by incremental advances in tools, technologies and process improvements. Further cost reductions in this and in related proteomics technologies are expected as a result of the development of new high-throughput techniques and the computational machinery needed to analyze data generated. Automation in Proteomics & Genomics: An Engineering Case-Based Approach describes the automation...
This book provides an introduction to the important methods of chiroptical spectroscopy in general, and circular dichroism (CD) in particular, which are increasingly important in all areas of chemistry, biochemistry, and structural biology. The book can be used as a text for undergraduate and graduate students and as a reference for researchers in academia and industry. Experimental methods and instrumentation are described with topics ranging from the most widely used methods (electronic and...
