Mathematical Methods for Physical and Analytical Chemistry
Date: Nov 15, 2011
Author: David Z. Goodson
Mathematical Methods for Physical and Analytical Chemistry presents mathematical and statistical methods to students of chemistry at the intermediate, post-calculus level. The content includes a review of general calculus; a review of numerical techniques often omitted from calculus courses, such as cubic splines and Newton’s method; a detailed treatment of statistical methods for experimental data analysis; complex numbers; extrapolation; linear algebra; and differential equations. With...

Handbook of Statistical Systems Biology
Date: Oct 21, 2011
Author: Michael Stumpf, David J. Balding, Mark Girolami
Systems Biology is now entering a mature phase in which the key issues are characterising uncertainty and stochastic effects in mathematical models of biological systems. The area is moving towards a full statistical analysis and probabilistic reasoning over the inferences that can be made from mathematical models. This handbook presents a comprehensive guide to the discipline for practitioners and educators, in providing a full and detailed treatment of these important and emerging subjects. Leading...

Organic Spectroscopy Workbook
Date: Sep 2, 2011
Author: Tom Forrest, Jean-Pierre Rabine, Michel Rouillard
Spectroscopy is used in physical and analytical chemistry for the identification of substances through the spectrum emitted from or absorbed by them. The derivation of structural information from spectroscopic data is now an integral part of many courses in chemistry and related subjects at most universities. This workbook: Features exercises to help develop the student's understanding of how structures are determined from spectra and to promote the student's own interpretation of different spectra....

Comprehensive Chromatography in Combination with Mass Spectrometry
Date: Aug 26, 2011
Author: Luigi Mondello
This book provides a detailed description of various multidimensional chromatographic separation techniques. The editor first provides an introduction to the area and then dives right into the various complex separation techniques. While still not used routinely comprehensive chromatography techniques will help acquaint the readers with the fundamentals and possible benefits of multi-dimensional separations coupled with mass spectrometry. The topics include a wide range of material that will appease all...

Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting: Combating the Real Danger from Fake Drugs
Date: Aug 12, 2011
Author: Mark Davison
This book overviews and integrates the business and technical issues that pharmaceutical companies need to know in order to combat the major global problem of counterfeit medicines. In addition to discussion of the problems, the author Davison addresses analytical techniques scientists use to detect counterfeits and presents some possible solutions to the threat of counterfeit medical products. Coverage moves from basic overview of the problem, costs / risks to consumers (toxic products, mistrust of drug...

Illicit Drugs in the Environment: Occurrence, Analysis, and Fate using Mass Spectrometry
Date: May 13, 2011
Author: Sara Castiglioni, Ettore Zuccato, Roberto Fanelli
Illicit drugs are an emerging class of environmental contaminants and mass spectrometry is the technique of choice for their analysis. This landmark reference discusses the analytical techniques used to detect illicit drugs in wastewater and surface water, details how to estimate the levels of contaminants in the environment, and explores the behavior, fate, and toxic effects of this new class of contaminants, now a ubiquitous presence in wastewater and surface water. The book details how an estimate of...

Platelet Proteomics: Principles, Analysis, and Applications
Date: May 10, 2011
Author: Ángel García-Alonso, Yotis Senis
The purpose of the book is to introduce platelets, and their functional role in thrombotic and cardiovascular disease, justifying the relevance of platelet proteomics research. Focus then shifts to the recent developments on mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. This chapter shows potential applications for platelet proteomics not yet carried out. It includes examples of post-translational modifications (PTMs) analysis in platelets. The second part of the book focuses on the main research...
