Both solid knowledge of the basics as well as expert knowledge is needed to create rigid, long-lasting and material-specific adhesions in the industrial or trade sectors. Information that is extremely difficult and time-consuming to find in the current literature. Written by specialists in various disciplines from both academia and industry, this handbook is the very first to provide such comprehensive knowledge in a compact and well-structured ...
As we enter the new millennium, combinatorial chemistry is providing significant impetus to new innovations in synthetic chemistry. Combinatorial chemistry has rapidly become the rising star among research methods, allowing scientists to efficiently test the feasibility of a multitude of new compounds. The pursuit of new drugs is but one challenging field in which these combinatorial methods are particularly advantageous, helping researchers mee ...
Biocatalysis is rapidly evolving into a key technology for the discovery and production of chemicals, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, where high yielding chemo-, regio-, and enantioselective reactions are critical. Taking the latest breakthroughs in genomics and proteomics into consideration, Biocatalysis for the Pharmaceutical Industry concisely yet comprehensively discusses the modern application of biocatalysis to drug discovery, d ...
Antibacterial agents act against bacterial infection either by killing the bacterium or by arresting its growth. They do this by targeting bacterial DNA and its associated processes, attacking bacterial metabolic processes including protein synthesis, or interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis and function. Antibacterial Agents is an essential guide to this important class of chemotherapeutic drugs. Compounds are organised according to th ...
This book explains characteristics of renewable fuels, especially biomass and wood, and the cost-effective and environment-friendly methods of handling, storing and burning these fuels. It is complete with the economic evaluation method, introduction of the pollution control equipment for limiting the emission from fuel combustion, case studies, and costs and carbon emission comparisons between conventional and alternate fuels. Many case studies ...
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 ...
In a clever didactic manner this textbook answers such essential pharmacokinetic questions as how drugs are distributed in the body, how do they reach their target, and how are they broken down and removed from the body. From the contents: – The active substance's path to the molecular target – Transporters and ion channels – Gastrointestinal absorption – Liver processes – Entering the brain: the Blood-brain barrier – Reaching the placenta – Eli ...
С единых позиций, основанных на температурно-временной эквивалентности, рассмотрены природа и структурно-физическая картина релаксационных явлений в полимерах, а также их роль, определяющая формирование требуемого комплекса эксплуатационных свойств полимерных материалов и оптимальные режимы переработки термопластов. Книга снабжена рядом приложений, детализирующих методологию экспериментальных исследований релаксационных явлений, особенности стр ...
Производство химических волокон является наиболее перспективной, быстроразвивающейся отраслью промышленности полимерных материалов. По прогнозам в 2010 году мировое производство их достигнет 85 млн. тонн. В последнее время наряду с разработкой и совершенствованием технологических процессов получения волокон общего назначения большое внимание уделяется и модифицированным химическим волокнам, обладающим специфическими свойствами. Темой данной рабо ...
