Primer on MR Imaging of the Abdomen and Pelvis
Date: Mar 24, 2005
Author: Diego R. Martin, Michele A. Brown, Richard C. Semelka
This primer provides a concise, methodological approach to abdominal MR imaging techniques. It offers the user an invaluable pictorial and textual guide to typical features of the most commonly seen entities encountered by the clinician. The authors place an emphasis on a pattern recognition approach, thereby focusing on clinical-pathologic correlation (i.e., the morphological characteristics and pathologic criteria necessary to diagnose disease), as opposed to disease epidemiology.

Environmental Toxicity Testing
Date: Jan 24, 2005
Author: Clive Thompson, Kirit Wadhia, Andreas Loibner
As an integral component of environmental policy, it has become essential to regulate and monitor toxic substances. Past emphasis has been primarily on analytical approaches to the detection of specific, targeted contaminants, thus allowing chemical characterisation. However, toxicity testing or biological assessment is necessary for ecotoxicological evaluation, and this offers marked benefits and advantages that complement chemical analysis.Key issues to be addressed include identification of pertinent...

Sample Preparation for Hyphenated Analytical Techniques
Date: Sep 27, 2004
Author: Jack Rosenfeld
Linking “standard” but often mutually incompatible analytical techniques – so called hyphenation – generally leads to enhanced analytical performance, so hyphenated techniques are widely used in areas where samples are presented in complex matrices, eg environmental, pharmaceutical and biochemical analysis. With these hyphenated techniques, sample preparation is often the most time-consuming step in analysis, particularly where compounds are present in low concentration, and it has...
