Focusing on practical application in the laboratory, the author critically reviews over 800 references to compare the atomic and molecular beam formation theories with actual experiments. The book not only provides the basic expressions essential to beam design but also covers the construction of ovens, furnaces, and collimating arrays in metals, plastics, glass, and other materials.

This interdisciplinary book presents a joint framework with the unified quantum-mechanical theories of resonant scattering, spectroscopy, and signal processing. It deals with S- and R-matrices, variational principles, complex coordinate scaling, wave packet propagation, Fredholm determinants, finite-rank separable expansions, filter diagonalisation, the Lanczos algorithm, and the Padé methodology. Being both mathematically and physically rigorous, the book can be successfully used in optimally quantifying resonances in physics, chemistry, biology, and medical diagnostics as well as in the applied area of signal processing.

Aquaporins in Health and Disease

Coarse-Grained Modeling of Biomolecules

New Molecular Targets for Drug Discovery

Edited by Garegin A. Papoian Series: Series in Computational Biophysics

Edited by Graca Soveral, Research Institute for Medicines, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Lisbon, Portugal, Soren Nielsen, Department of Health Science and Technology, Aalborg University, Denmark and Angela Casini, School of Chemistry, Cardiff University, UK This book presents the latest research advances in aquaporins and other major intrinsic protein (MIP) channels. The first section of the book describes the general concepts of aquaporin channel function, genomic research, structure-function analysis of aquaporins and glycerol facilitators, and regulation by gating and trafficking, including yeast aquaporin regulation and function. The second section discusses the physiological and pathophysiological roles of aquaporins in humans and microbes. The final section covers the development of inhibitors of aquaporin function.

Many researchers are choosing computational modeling of biomolecules to analyze data at a level of mechanistic detail that would otherwise prove difficult to achieve. This book reflects on the tremendous impact of computational modeling, focusing on coarse-grained simulations for biomolecules, such as proteins and nucleic acids, for which systems may be too large and the processes too slow for atomistic or quantum simulations. Coverage includes fundamentals as well as applications in state-of-the-art coarse-grained force fields of proteins and nucleic acids.

This guide covers the current state of knowledge on intrinsic fluorescent biomarkers and highlights advances in using these biomarkers for the metabolic mapping and clinical diagnosis of healthy and diseased cells and tissues. The book’s first section introduces the fundamentals of cellular energy metabolic pathways as well as natural biomarkers within the context of their biological functions. The second section outlines the theoretical and technical background of quantitative, noninvasive, autofluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy methods. The last two sections explore applications in biochemistry, cell biology, and medicine.

This book is one of the first to explore the key role played by redox proteins and their interaction network in a wide range of essential cellular processes in all domains of life. The book explains how the mitochondrial respiratory chain is dynamically organized in supercomplexes even under physiological conditions. It also addresses the impact of supercomplex assembly on mitochondrial morphology, physiology, and biogenesis to shed light on the molecular mechanisms of pathological situations, including aging.

An Introduction to Beam Physics

Supersymmetry Beyond Minimality

Martin Berz, Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA, Kyoko Makino, Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA and Weishi Wan, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, USA Series: Series in High Energy Physics, Cosmology and Gravitation Accessible to beginning graduate and upper-division undergraduate students in physics, mathematics, and engineering, this book is based on lectures given at Michigan State University, the online VUBeam program, the U.S. Particle Accelerator School, the CERN Academic Training Programme, and other venues. It begins with essential techniques of production, acceleration, and storage of beams, whenever possible from the historical perspective. It covers transfer maps of single- and multi-pass systems and their properties as well as some advanced topics, including aberration integrals and analysis of resonances.

from Theory to Experiment Shaaban Khalil, Zewail City of Science and Technology, Giza, Egypt and Stefano Moretti, University of Southampton, Highfield Campus, United Kingdom Supersymmetry is an elegant and simple theory, but its existence lacks direct proof. Instead of dismissing supersymmetry altogether, Supersymmetry Beyond Minimality: from Theory to Experiment suggests that supersymmetry may exist in more complex and subtle interactions above the minimal model. The book explores in detail non-minimal supersymmetry models, in a bottom-up approach that interconnects experimental phenomena in the fermionic and bosonic sectors.

It involves filling a vessel with liquid and pressurizing the vessel to a set test level. While an important procedure for industries, residual liquid from the test can cause issues with vessel corrosion, particularly microbial corrosion. This manual discusses how test liquid must be selected, corrosion by bacteria ought to be controlled, and the possibility of leakage can be eliminated. It does not teach how to conduct a hydrotest, but helps the reader evaluate the quality of a hydrotest already conducted in terms of use of oxygen scavenger, biocide testing, inhibitor addition, and water quality.

The joining of dissimilar materials poses a greater challenge due to large variation in material properties making coalescence difficult. More research is required to address emerging new material development challenges and their joining issues. The application and scope of dissimilar material joints is pervasive and serve major focus areas such as energy, transport, communication and health. This book addresses the lack of scientific literature in the field of development and structural integrity assessment of dissimilar material joints.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Applications Edited by Silvia Ioan, “Petru Poni” Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Lasi, Romania

Processing and Applications P.K. Mallick, University of Michigan, Dearborn, USA

This book focuses on polysulfones and their derivatives, which are used as functional materials due to their structural and physical characteristics. The text presents the bioapplications of polysulfones in two categories: blood-contacting devices and cell- or tissue-contacting devices. It analyzes surface wettability and hydrophilicity trends, as well as morphological characteristics of modified polysulfones. It also introduces chelating units on the modified polysulfone structure to obtain potential applications, such as surface coatings, adhesives, high-temperature lubricants, electrical insulators, semiconductors, and the reduction of heavy-metal pollution in

While there are many textbooks on the mechanics of polymer matrix composites, very few cover processing and applications. This book fills that void. It covers the major manufacturing processes used for polymer matrix composites, describes the process details and how they are practiced, examines the process parameters and their effects on properties and process-induced defects, and looks at analytical and experimental methods used for understanding the process conditions. It includes many examples and case studies that make the concepts clearer.
