ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY Pyrolysis–Gas Chromatography

45 Years of Enhanced Raman Signals

Mass Spectrometry of Polymeric Materials

by Peter Kusch (Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University of Applied Sciences, Germany) The methodology of analytical pyrolysis-GC/MS has been known for several years, but is seldom used in research laboratories and process control in the chemical industry.

In addition, the practical applications can encourage analytical chemists and engineers to use the techniques explored in this volume.

The structure and the functions of various types of pyrolyzers and the results of the pyrolysis–gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric identification of synthetic polymers/ copolymers and biopolymers at 700°C are described. Practical applications of these techniques are also included, detailing the analysis of microplastics, failure analysis in the automotive industry and solutions for technological problems.

Readership: Student and professionals working in the chemical and rubber industry.

Genomic Uracil Evolution, Biology, Immunology and Disease edited by Geir Slupphaug (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway) & Hans Einar Krokan (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway) This book describes genomic uracil in evolution, as a DNA constituent in adaptive and innate immune responses and as a mutagenic lesion causing cancer. Genomic uracil is as old as life and may have been a component in self-replicating molecules in the prebiotic era. The first living cells probably contained uracil in DNA, later to be replaced by thymine. The pioneering work of Nobel Laureate, Tomas Lindahl on spontaneous deamination of DNA cytosine to uracil was followed by his discovery of uracil-DNA glycosylase, which initiates repair of genomic uracil in base excision repair (BER). Uracil-DNA glycosylases are found in all forms of life and in DNA viruses, having roles in DNA repair, replication and epigenetics. The surprising discovery of enzymatic DNA cytosine deamination by the AID/APOBEC deaminases subsequently has implicated genomic uracil in the development of human cancer. The aim of the book is to contribute a reference text for graduate students, molecular biologists, immunologists and cancer biologists.

Periodic Tables Unifying Living Organisms at the Molecular Level

Feb 2018 US$98 £86

by Antonio Lima-de-Faria (Lund University, Sweden) The DNA sequencing of a series of living organisms has elucidated many biological problems. But the internal atomic and electronic evolution of DNA remains to be mapped in detail. RNA and DNA now appear to be the prime determinants of biological evolution leading to the sudden appearance of novel organism structures and functions that emerge “ready made” as a surprise to the organism. This has been demonstrated by the manipulation of genes that led to the sudden production of additional complete wings and legs in flies and birds. The study of this internal atomic construction of macromolecules is being investigated at the large electron accelerators such as the MAX IV Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory, Lund University, Sweden.

The periodicity of the chemical elements is well known from its iconic Table.

Significantly, this periodicity can now be seen to extend to the properties of living organisms. Biological properties as different as: flight, vision, luminescence and regeneration, as well as others, show unexpectedly periodic emergence. They resurface, without previous announcement, in most unrelated plant and animal families and they emerge irrespective of whether the organism is a simple invertebrate or a most complex mammal.

This book contains a unique treatment of periodicity at the biological level and of DNA’s own atomic evolution 332pp 978-981-3227-00-2

This invaluable book focuses on the mechanisms of formation of a solidelectrolyte interphase (SEI) on the electrode surfaces of lithium-ion batteries.

The SEI film is due to electrochemical reduction of species present in the electrolyte. It is widely recognized that the presence of the film plays an essential role in the battery performance, and its very nature can determine an extended (or shorter) life for the battery. In spite of the numerous related research efforts, details on the stability of the SEI composition and its influence on the battery capacity are still controversial. This book carefully analyzes and discusses the most recent findings and advances on this topic.

:: Textbook Spectroscopic Identification of Organic Molecules

by Mohamed Hilmy Elnagdi (Cairo University, Egypt), Kamal Usef Sadek (Minia University, Egypt) & Ramadan Ahmed Mekheimer (Minia University, Egypt) Researchers in the fields of organic synthesis, pharmaceutical research as well as cosmetic and agrochemicals industries need to confirm the structures of products they obtain. This was previously a time-consuming a process that took up much time. Spectroscopic methods however, made it easier, and initially R and UV helped chemists conclude structures one way or another. Initially 1D NMR, 2D NMR and sophisticated NMR measurements like COESY and NOESY were of great assistance. This book demonstrates principles to conclude structures of simple molecules, mainly heterocycles of interest for researchers in fields indicated above.

However, it is insufficient to only understand the principles, and one should also master problem solving and thinking. This book demonstrates simple problems like the utility of coupling constants, NOE, COESY and NOESY and show how firm conclusions are obtained in real life.

“The chapters are each interesting in their own way, the coverage of the field is superb, and so is the underlying expertise.
