Die bewahrte Einfuhrung in die Gaschromatographie von Bruno Kolb enthalt jetzt auch einen Abschnitt uber die GC-MS-Kopplung. Praktiker, Studenten und Auszubildende konnen sich durch dieses Buch schnell und einfach mit der GC vertraut machen. Der Autor beschreibt neben den Grundlagen und Begriffen die Teile des GC-Systems (Injektionssysteme, Trennsaulen und Detektoren), die zahlreichen Moglichkeiten der Probenaufgabe speziell fur Kapillarsaulen, ...
Ein bemerkenswertes Buchlein; flott zu lesen, hochaktuell und trotzdem unterhaltsam. Gerhard Gottschalk, einer der prominentesten zeitgenossischen Mikrobiologen erklart hier die Hintergrunde der EHEC und MRSA Epidemien. Trotz des ernsten Themas liest sich das Buch leicht und man spurt keinen erhobenen Zeigefinger. Dafur lernt man erstaunliches, z.B. dass das EHEC zu Grunde liegende -harmlose- Darmbakterium Escherichia Coli schon sehr lange auf d ...
Hollenstein und Borax! Das klingt ja wie ein Hexenspruch – hat Chemie etwa mit Zauberei zu tun? Wer wei? schon, welche Geheimnisse hinter Rote-Beete-Saft und pH-Indikator steckt? Georg Schwedt erklart es muhelos Lehrern, Schulern, Studienanfangern und allen anderen, die es wissen wollen. Erstaunlich, wie viel einpragsamer das Lernen und Begreifen ist, wenn man mit Alltagsgegenstanden und Haushaltsmitteln spannende aber gefahrlose Experimente dur ...
Michael Gross has been writing about science full time for the last eight years and as a night time hobby for the previous seven. From his treasure troves, he now presents his favourite science stories from these 15 years. What are the attractions that make him revisit a topic or reread an article again and again? Often, it's the sheer craziness of wildly unexpected findings or grotesquely oversized challenges. In other stories, there is a sexy ...
Diseases transmitted by insects continue to have a major impact on human populations. Malaria, dengue, onchocerciasis, sleeping sickness and leishmaniasis all adversely affect man. Malaria is one of the most important causes of child mortality and reduces economic development in many countries, with agricultural productivity often greatly reduced, as many vectors are active in the wet season favourable for crop production. Vector control is cruc ...
The first modern approach to relate fundamental research to the applied science of colloids, this series bridges academic research and practical applications, thus providing the information vital to both. Written by the very best scientists in their respective disciplines, this volume describes the role of colloids in paints, highlighting the importance of fundamental research in industrial applications. For surface, polymer and physicochemists, ...
The first modern approach to relate fundamental research to the applied science of colloids, this series bridges academic research and industrial applications, thus providing the information vital to both. Written by the very best scientists in their respective disciplines, the five volumes are edited by an internationally recognized expert on this topic. This volume describes the role of colloids in agrochemicals, highlighting the importance of ...
Finally filling a gap in the literature for a text that also adopts the chemist's view of this hot topic, Professor Likhtenshtein, an experienced author and internationally renowned scientist, considers different physical and engineering aspects in solar energy conversion. From theory to real-life systems, he shows exactly which chemical reactions take place when converting light energy, providing an overview of the chemical perspective from fun ...
Authored by one of the world's leading organic chemists, this authoritative reference provides an overview of basic strategies in directed evolution and introduces common gene mutagenesis, screening and selection methods. Throughout the text, emphasis is placed on methodology development to maximize efficiency, reliability and speed of the experiments and to provide guidelines for efficient protein engineering. Professor Reetz highlights the app ...
