Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - James adores his family and their ancestral home, perched high above Seattle. But at age forty-eight, he's viewed as a tech-industry dinosaur, and he yearns for a chance to make a name for himself. When an ambitious idea strikes him to revolutionize high-end interactive home security, James sees it as his ticket to success. With unwavering determination, he transforms his own house into a testing ground for an innovative prototype system, confident it holds the key to a bright future. However, as with any technological marvel, things can and do go horribly wrong. Instead of keeping unwanted humans out, James opens a door, unknowingly welcoming the restless spirits of the dead inside.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Inorganic and organometallic polymers feature many attractive properties that are useful for the design of diverse functional materials. Emphasising concepts that inform polymer design, synthesis and applications, readers of this book will gain a complete understanding of the introduction to inorganic and organometallic polymer science that will further their studies in materials science, chemistry and engineering.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Our biological system is enriched with enzyme-catalyzed (or enzymatic) reactions that mediate a great multitude of life processes such as gene transcription and metabolism, and the inappropriately up-regulated activity of these enzymatic reactions is a major cause of human diseases such as cancer and metabolic diseases. Therefore, the inhibitors of enzymatic reactions (generally called enzyme inhibitors) constitute a major class of therapeutic agents on the global drug market. One question would then be how to efficiently design enzyme inhibitors. This handbook is the first of its kind in the field, introducing to its readers in a single book the concepts whose exploitation has been demonstrated to be successful in efficiently furnishing effective active site-directed inhibitors for various enzymatic reactions.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Ammonia oxidising bacteria (AOB) and archaea are ubiquitous microorganisms, but their abundance and diversity vary widely across environments and play a crucial role in many ecosystems and aquatic ecosystems in particular. However, characterization of AOB communities requires genomic methods as they are difficult to isolate from samples. Although non-toxic to humans, in the short term, ammonia in water systems is harmful to aquatic life both directly and indirectly through the disruption of the ecosystem by promoting the proliferation of algae (a process called eutrophication). Contamination often occurs due to use of disinfectants with chloramines, fertilizers, waste disposal and from natural processes. Due to their natural presence, utilising AOBs to treat water is viewed as an attractive solution, but greater knowledge of their biochemical processes and measurement of their efficacy is required.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Addressing the fundamental aspects of the various computational tools for drug discovery, this book compiles recent bioinformatics and chemoinformatics approaches, and their integration with systems biology.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Currently the majority of carbon-based feedstocks come from fossil fuels of which there are a finite supply. Methane is an abundantly available carbon-based feedstock, with large amounts now available through fracking and renewable sources available from biogas plants. However, methane is not very chemically reactive. One of the remaining 'grand challenges' in chemistry is the development of clean, efficient, affordable processes that allow methane to be converted to other high value molecules.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Superhydrophobic coatings have attracted substantial scientific research in recent years due to their real-world applications in a variety of fields including anti-corrosion, anti-icing, anti-fogging, oil separation and self-cleaning materials.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This volume brings together internationally leading researchers in the fields of synthesis, materials, and catalysis, particularly involving systems where non-covalent interactions are a crucial factor.
