[Science] - Nanostructures & Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Properties & Applications

Imperial College Press (April 30, 2004) ISBN: 1860944809 433 pages PDF 23 Mb

Book Description:

This important book focuses on the synthesis and fabrication of nanostructures and nanomaterials, but also includes properties and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials, particularly inorganic nanomaterials. It provides balanced and comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals and processing techniques with regard to synthesis, characterization, properties, and applications of nanostructures and nanomaterials. Both chemical processing and lithographic techniques are presented in a systematic and coherent manner for the synthesis and fabrication of 0-D, 1-D, and 2-D nanostructures, as well as special nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and ordered mesoporous oxides. The book will serve as a general introduction to nanomaterials and nanotechnology for teaching and self-study purposes.

[Science] - Bioinformatics: Volume II: Structure, Function and Applications

Book Description:

Not only is the quantity of life science data expanding, but new types of biological data continue to be introduced as a result of technological development and a growing understanding of biological systems. Methods for analyzing these data are an increasingly important component of modern biological research. In Bioinformatics, leading researchers in the field provide a selection of the most useful and widely applicable methods, able to be applied as is, or with minor variations, to many specific problems.

Volume II: Structure, Function and Applications contains methods pertinent to the prediction of protein and RNA structures and the analysis and classification of structures, methods for inferring the function of previously identified genomic elements, chiefly protein-coding genes, medical applications in diagnostics and drug discovery, and “meta-methods” for developers of bioinformatics algorithms.

[Science] - Azaheterocycles Based on a,ß-Unsaturated Carbonyls

Book description:

This monograph is devoted to heterocyclization of aliphatic and aromatic a,ß-unsaturated carbonyls with various binucleophiles. These reactions produce partially hydrogenated nitrogen-containing heterocycles that are interesting due to their significant role in biological processes. They can be used in conjunction with combinatorial high throughput methods that involve microwave-assisted and ultrasonic-promoted reactions. The monograph is a comprehensive review of the known literature data devoted to the reactions of a,ß-unsaturated ketones, their synthetic equivalents and precursor. It is intended for chemists working in the field of experimental syntheses and theoretical investigations of nitrogen-containing heterocycles, lecturers at university and graduate students.

[Science] - Fuel Cells I (Advances in Polymer Science)

268 pages Jan 10, 2008 PDF 14 Mb


The concept to utilize an ion-conducting polymer membrane as a solid polymer electrolyte offers several advantages regarding the design and operation of an electrochemical cell, as outlined in Volume 215, Chapter 1 (L. Gubler, G. G. Scherer). Essentially, the solvent and/or transport medium, e.g., H2O, for the mobile ionic species, e.g., H+ for a cation exchange membrane, is taken up by and confined into the nano-dimensional morphology of the ioncontaining domains of the polymer. As a consequence, a phase separation into a hydrophilic ion-containing solvent phase and a hydrophobic polymer backbone phase establishes. Because of the narrow solid electrolyte gap in these cells, low ohmic losses reducing the overall cell voltage can be achieved, even at high current densities..............
