Biochemistry

Series: Frontiers in Neuroscience

This book focuses on applications of compound library design and virtual screening to expand the bioactive chemical space, to target hopping of chemotypes to identify synergies within related drug discovery projects or to repurpose known drugs, to propose mechanism of action of compounds, and to identify off-target effects by cross-reactivity analysis.

Understanding Physics and Physical Chemistry Using Formal Graphs

Textbook

Eric Vieil

An Introduction

LEPMI, St. Martin d’Heres, France

This book introduces a new graphs-based language called Formal Graphs for representing the mathematical equations found in a large number of scientific domains, including mechanics, physical chemistry, dynamics, solid state physics, rheology, surface energy, electrochemistry, and chemical reactivity. This elementary approach consists of drawing links and nodes on a graph, instead of writing algebraic equations. The graphs encourage a visual, unified comprehension of the relationships between physical concepts and variables, properties, and operators.

Groundwater Geochemistry and Isotopes Ian Douglas Clark University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

There remains a lack of understanding of environmental isotopes and their use; students and practitioners typically find the concepts of isotope fractionation to be more complicated than for geochemistry. However, this need not be so, if the basics are presented together with geochemistry, using case studies and examples to make the point. This new book will present the basics of environmental isotopes and geochemistry together, with case studies and simple examples that will build a real understanding of their use in natural and contaminated groundwater.

Elastic and Plastic Deformation of Carbon Nanotubes Edited by

Elaine DiMasi

Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan

National Synchrotron Light Source, Upton, New York, USA

Carbon nanotubes offer huge potential in so many fields due in part to their significant mechanical properties, including extraordinary rigidity, resilience, toughness, and flexibility. Mechanical deformation of carbon nanotubes is known to cause considerable changes in their physical and chemical properties through the nontrivial structure–property correlation. A strong understanding of their deformation mechanism and available geometry is, therefore, crucial to developing nanotube-based applications. This book concentrates on the remarkable mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes, covering theoretical and experimental progresses from the last decade.

Since the publication of the second edition, changes have occurred in the fields of materials and manufacturing. Industries place more emphasis on manufacturing products and goods locally, nanostructured and smart materials appear more frequently in products, and more emphasis is placed on how products affect the environment. In addition, there has been a change in how the subjects of materials and manufacturing are taught. This third edition of a bestseller has been comprehensively revised and reorganized to reflect these changes. It also includes more real-world case studies.

During the last decades, numerous promising drugs that provided neuroprotection in the laboratory setting failed to translate into the clinic because of their toxicity or lack of efficacy. However, these apparently disappointing results have provided valuable lessons to improve research strategies and enhance their clinical translation. In this scenario, by bringing together the experience developed by stroke researchers and clinicians, this book provides a precious tool for improving stroke patients’ treatment and management.

The field of bioscience methodologies in physical chemistry stands at the intersection of the power and generality of classical and quantum physics with the minute molecular complexity of chemistry and biology. This book provides an application of physical principles in explaining and rationalizing chemical and biological phenomena. It does not stick to the classical topics that are conventionally considered as part of physical chemistry; instead it presents principles deciphered from a modern point of view, which is the strength of this book.

This book is the result of more than 30 years of teaching by the author of a one-semester course in physical chemistry to first-year students at the University of Toronto. The enrollment varied from 300 to 800 students per year over the years. The book is unique in that it provides the detailed development of the equations, which can be followed relatively easily even with only moderate mathematical skills and backgrounds. The book provides interesting and inspiring examples, as well as many problems and solutions.

This book examines the kinetics and non-equilibrium statistical thermodynamics of fast charged particles moving in crystals in different modes. This line of research is very different from traditional ways of constructing a theory of radiation effects, which gives a purely mechanistic interpretation of particle motion. The theory presented in the book, in addition to the collision, takes into account the thermodynamic forces due to separation of the thermodynamic parameters of the subsystem of particles (“hot” atoms) on the parameters of the thermostat (electrons and lattice).

Under certain conditions, friction can lead to the formation of new structures at the interface, including in situ tribofilms and various patterns, which can reduce friction and wear. This book presents a fresh perspective on friction and tribology by combining mechanical and thermodynamic approaches. The authors show how frictioninduced instabilities and vibrations can lead to self-organized structures. They also explore how understanding the structure–property relationships that lead to self-organization can help engineers design “smart” biomimetic materials that are self lubricating and self healing.

Introduction to Process Control Second Edition

Shutdown and Turnaround Management

Jose A. Romagnoli

Trinath Sahoo

Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA

Indian Oil Coporation Ltd, Uttar Pradesh

Ahmet Palazoglu

With large amounts of revenue at stake, process industries are focusing more on turnaround management as they strive to lengthen the interval between turnarounds. This book outlines a strategy to execute optimized shutdown and turnaround by changing plant operating conditions and inspection techniques. Because shutdown cost for a petroleum refinery is normally 30 percent higher than annual maintenance costs, this book details how to manage the more favorable turnaround option. The author explores different aspects, including philosophy, planning and scheduling, estimation, contractor management, and execution.
