Springer-Verlag; 2006; 315стр.; ISBN: 3540359885 Book Description Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry are usually presented as a sum of chemical and physical foundations, laws, axioms and equations for analytical methods and procedures. In contrast, this book delivers a practice-oriented, general guiding theory valid for all methods and techniques. Starting with a closer look to analytical signals and their dependencies, all the important figures of merit characterizing the power of analytical procedures and the reliability of analytical results are discussed and quantified, such as sensitivity, precision, accuracy and ruggedness. Elements of signal theory, information theory, statistics and fundamentals of calibration are also presented for this aim. The metrological foundations included define strictly the figures of merit in order to minimize confusions still appearing in Analytical Chemistry publications today. To buy: Gorrod J.W., Jacob P.

Academic Press (now a part of Elsevier Science); 2006; 389стр.; ISBN: 012384357X From publisher Gas chromatography remains the world's most widely used analytical technique, yet the expertise of a large proportion of chromatographers lies in other fields. Many users have little real knowledge of the variablesin the chromatographic process, the interaction between those variables, how they are best controlled, how the quality of their analytical results could be improved, and how analysis times can be shortened to facilitate the generation of a greater numberof more reliable results on the same equipment. An analyst with a more comprehensive understanding of chromatographic principles and practice, however, can often improve the quality of the data generated, reduce the analytical time, and forestall the needto purchase an additional chromatograph or another mass spectrometer.The Second Edition of Analytical Gas Chromatography is extensively revised with selected areas expanded and many new explanations and figures. The section on sample injection has been updated to include newer concepts of split, splitless, hot and cold on-column, programmed temperature vaporization, and large volume injections. Coverage of stationary phases now includes discussion, applications, and rationale of the increased thermal and oxidative resistance of the newly designed silarylenepolysiloxane polymers. Conventional and"extended range"polyethylene glycol stationary phases are examined from the viewpoints of temperature range and retention index reliabilities, and the chapter on"Variables"has been completely rewritten. The ways in which carrier gas velocity influences chromatographic performance is considered in detail, and includes what may be the first rational explanation of the seemingly anomalous effects that temperature exercises on gas viscosity (and gas flow). The practical effects that these changes cause to the chromatography is examined in pressure-, flow-, and"EPC-"regulated systems."Column Selection, Installation, and Use"has been completely rewritten as well. The accuracy of theVan Deemter plots has been greatly enhanced; a new program corrects for the first time for the changes in gas density and diffusion that occur during the chromatographic process because of solute progression through the pressure drop of the column. A new section has also been added on meeting thespecial requirements of columns destined for mass spectral analysis. The chapter on"Special Applications"has been expanded to include considerations of"selectivity tuning,"of fast analysis, and the section of Applications has been thoroughly updated and expanded.

CRC Press; 2006; 952стр.; ISBN: 0824754077 Book Description Reflecting more than a decade's worth of changes, Animal Models in Toxicology, Second Edition is a practical guide to the common statistical problems encountered in toxicology and the methodologies that are available to solve them. The book presents a historical review of the use of animal models and an overview of broad considerations of metabolism and relevance used in toxicology. Individual chapters covering the eight major species used in toxicology and experimental biology form the core of the book. With contributions from experts in toxicology, toxicological pathology, and species-specific metabolism, each of these chapters provide an excellent introductory "course" along with guidance to the literature for more detailed understanding. The book goes on to make the case for a range of species not commonly used for safety assessment studies but which may provide useful alternative models for some specific endpoints. The chapter authors discuss special considerations regarding the evaluation and interpretation of the clinical pathology of the eight major model species as well as how to select a model species and how to extrapolate the results to humans. They detail potential pitfalls and situations that cause either human or model to be significantly more sensitive than the other or totally irrelevant to each other. The book concludes with an overview of the increasingly complex laws and regulations that govern how laboratory animals are obtained, maintained, and utilized, and an appendix that provides a quick guide to commercial sources of laboratory animals. to buy: Gad S.C.

John Wiley & Sons; 2005; 420стр.; ISBN: 0471668273 Book Description Antiviral Drug Discovery gives readers a cutting-edge view of how chemical concepts are being mobilized to develop novel approaches that will effectively confront emerging diseases and biowarfare. Among the many topics discussed are smallpox, the Ebola virus, influenza, SARS, arenaviruses and flaviviruses. Each chapter discusses hypothetical strategies for the discovery of relevant antiviral agents, recent findings related to biochemistry or drug discovery, and advances in the further development of established leads in the area. Timely and informative, this book clearly delineates the efforts being made to develop new and effective broad-spectrum antiviral agents. From the Back Cover Promising drug discovery efforts in the race to cure emerging diseases and thwart bioterrorism It was not too long ago that scientists believed that the discovery of powerful antimicrobial agents and vaccines would lead to the eradication of viral diseases. A warning, however, of the looming threat of viral diseases on U.S. national security was sounded in the 2000 National Intelligence Estimate, The Global Infectious Disease Threat and Its Implications for the United States. This report predicted that infectious diseases would endanger U.S. citizens at home and abroad, threaten U.S. forces deployed overseas, and exacerbate social and political instability. In the post-9/11 world, we can clearly see the gravity of those predictions, which greatly underscore the need for this timely publication. This is the first book that tackles head-on the myriad viral threats for which no effective drug treatments currently exist. Among the threats covered are potential bioterrorism agents and emerging viruses such as smallpox, influenza, Ebola, Marburg, SARS, Nipah, Hendra, Lassa fever, Junin, dengue, West Nile, and yellow fever. The editor of this publication has assembled an international team of leading experts, giving readers a cutting-edge view on current drug discovery efforts to find novel antiviral agents in the battle to combat these diseases and threats. Following a general introduction to the problems of emerging diseases and bioterrorism, each chapter discusses potential strategies for the discovery of antiviral agents, reveals recent findings, and points to promising directions for further research. Many of the contributors have honed their knowledge and offer unique insights based on their work with powerful viruses such as herpes and HIV. A variety of different strategies and targets are discussed in the ongoing exploration for effective treatment modalities. Specific targets of the virus's genomes and proteomes are presented as sources for antiviral agent prospectors. These include interferon evasion proteins, proteases, helicases, RNA polymerases, and methyl transferases. In addition, other targets presented are s-adenosylhomocystein hydrolase (SAH) and inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase (IMPDH). Generic approaches discussed include lethal mutagenesis, immunocamouflage, and prenylation inhibitors. Prodrugs and acyclic nucleoside monophosphates are among the antiviral countermeasures presented from the medicinal/bioorganic chemical arsenal. With so much at stake, the need to collect promising antiviral drug discovery strategies in one volume and disseminate it to all researchers in the field has never been greater. This is urgent reading for all researchers in medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutical chemistry, drug discovery, biochemistry, virology, microbiology, and public health. This publication can help them in their charge to protect the health of the world against the perilous threat of emerging infectious diseases and bioterrorism. See all Editorial Reviews Weiner E.R.
