Basic Concepts of Crystallography
Date: May 25, 2011
Author: Emil Zolotoyabko
Written by an experienced university teacher, this textbook is based on the author's lectures, and is designed to answer students' questions rather than delving into obscure details. The well-balanced approach gives precedence to a visual, intuitive understanding, with only as much math as is necessary. The author covers the topic of symmetry in crystals from basic elements to physical properties, backed by numerous clear-cut illustrations and easy-to-read crystallographic tables. The result is a compact...

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...

Raman Spectroscopy in Graphene Related Systems
Date: Jan 14, 2011
Author: Ado Jorio, Mildred S. Dresselhaus, Riichiro Saito, Gene Dresselhaus
Raman spectroscopy is the inelastic scattering of light by matter. Being highly sensitive to the physical and chemical properties of materials, as well as to environmental effects that change these properties, Raman spectroscopy is now evolving into one of the most important tools for nanoscience and nanotechnology. In contrast to usual microscopyrelated techniques, the advantages of using light for nanoscience relate to both experimental and fundamental aspects.
