Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Forty years since the first UN Conference on the Human Environment was held in Stockholm, how has the situation changed We still have only one Earth but are we caring for and maintaining it This book, written by leaders in the field, discusses the key environmental issues affecting the Earth today. Aimed at policy makers, students, environmental scientists and thinkers, it is an important review bringing the reader right up to date with current opinions.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nanoparticles can be viewed as a new type of 'atom' with size dependent physical, optical and electronic properties that make them suitable for a wide variety of applications. There are many open questions in the field of nanoparticle synthesis and assembly: how does the nanoparticle-nanoparticle potential govern nanoparticle formation or assembly Can we design a nanoparticle from the ground up, according to theoretical predictions, which will self-assemble into a given nanoparticle superlattice structure How does the assembly process vary with nanoparticle shape and the ligand coating which surrounds each nanoparticle The answers to these questions require the coordination and collaboration of nanoparticle theorists, synthesizers, and assemblers. Following the Nanoparticle Synthesis and Assembly: Faraday Discussion (April 2015), this book brings together a diverse group of scientists to deliberate the latest developments in nanoparticle theory, synthesis and assembly and to generate new ideas and engender new collaborations between these groups.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Asymmetric C-H direct functionalization reactions are one of the most active and fascinating areas of research in organic chemistry due to their significance in the construction of molecular complexity without pre-activation, and the step economy and atom economy features in potential synthetic application. Distinguishing the reactivity among numerous C-H bonds in one single molecule represents one of the most challenging issues in organic synthesis and requires precise reaction design. As such, this field is now receiving increasing attention from researchers.This book provides the first comprehensive review of this field, summarizing the origin, mechanism, scope and applications of the asymmetric C-H bond functionalization reaction. It covers organocatalytic reactions and transition-metal-catalyzed reactions, as well as asymmetric C-H functionalization reactions not described in other books.Written by a leading expert in this field, the book is ideal for postgraduates and researchers working in organic synthesis, catalysis, and organometallic chemistry.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Carnosine and anserine are two imidazole dipeptides found in muscle and brain tissues of animals (anserine in birds); their dietary and nutritional significance lies in their antioxidant properties and a number of investigators are looking at other health benefits of the compounds. This volume will survey the current state of play in these and other areas of interest, including immunology, the promotion of wound healing and cellular homeostasis. Providing an up to date, interdisciplinary approach, this book will be of great interest to researchers and professionals in chemistry, food science, biochemistry, health sciences and sports sciences.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Although toxic in large doses, selenium is an essential trace mineral in the animal diet and in some plants. It has a role in making antioxidant enzymes and a particular role in the functioning of the thyroid gland. This volume examines the chemical activity of selenium and its functional health effects eg towards cancers, in the heart and brain. It also covers other areas such as functional food enrichment, whole body metabolism, and the effects of selenium deficiency on health.Part of The Food and Nutritional Components in Focus series, this edited volume pools knowledge across scientific disciplines in a way that increases its applicability to a wide range of audiences. Victor Preedy's own distinguished career in nutritional science has made him a prolific author of research articles and books in this area, and this project fills a gap in providing comprehensive synopses of food substances. Chemists, analytical scientists, forensic scientists, food scientists, as well as course lecturers will all benefit from this interdisciplinary title written by international experts in this area.…
