This book is a contemporary review of selected subjects in liquid chromatography, especially of the technical development, rather than the applications. The subjects are focused in the biomedical and environmental fields. This is also a troubleshooting record. Complex analytical problems such as sensitivity (sensitive detection by chemiluminescence, coulometric detection, laser-based detection, necessity of degassing the system for sensitive detection), difficulty (free radical detection by Electron Spin Resonance, Polarimeter for chiral recognition) and reproducibility (packings for chiral...

This work presents the theoretical foundations and experimental results of the generation and propagation of impulsively-generated waves resulting from underwater explosions. Many of the theories and concepts presented are applicable to other types of water waves, in particular tsunamis and waves generated by the fall of a meteorite. Linear and nonlinear theories, as well as experimental calibrations, are presented for cases of deep and shallow water explosions. Propagation of transient waves on dissipative, nonuniform bathymetries together with laboratory simulations are analyzed and...

Presents a compilation of HPLC methods for the separation and quantitation of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors. The physical-chemical background, structure-retention relationships and optimization of separation of porphyrins and porphyrinogens by reversed-phase HPLC are discussed.
