This practical introduction to all the elextroanalytical techniques that are used in clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine is the only in-depth treatment of the subject available. The author presents the relevant theory and uses numerous examples to illustrate the scope and possibilities of electroanalysis in the clinical laboratory.

The material covered includes the principles and bioanalytical applications of voltammetry and potentiometry, electrochemical biosensors, detectors to flowing steams, and in vivo electrochemistry. The book should be useful to those considering...

This text looks beyond poverty and unemployment, street-fights and drug deals in American inner-cities to examine cultural, economic, educational, and social resources. It aims to raise consciousness about the opportunities available to foster resilience among children, families and communities.

This volume, by leading Chinese and Western researchers, should be of interest to those studying reading and visual symbol processing, as well as cognitive psychologists, cognitive scientists, and reading researchers.

This volume focuses on the abuse of statistical inference in scientific and statistical literature, as well as in a variety of other sources, presenting examples of misused statistics to show that many scientists and statisticians are unaware of, or unwilling to challenge the chaotic state of statistical practices. biomedical and behavioural sciences, economics and the statistical literature; discusses conflicting views of randomization, emphasizing certain aspects of induction and epistemology; reveals fallacious practices in statistical causal inference, stressing the misuse of regression...

The purpose of this book is to provide information on senescent cells and why they are prevented from multiplying via cell division. It includes main sections on the nature of Go/1 transition, factors promoting the cell cycle traverse and avoiding the Go/1 arrest, and negative factors arresting the cell cycle traverse and promoting the stay in the Go/1 stage. Filled with illustrations and explanations, it collectively presents the mechanisms that control the cellular aging process. This reference is a must for anyone with special interests in the biological community, and specifically the...

This book constitutes the refereed combined proceedings of four international workshops held in conjunction with the joint 9th Asia-Pacific Web Conference, APWeb 2007, and the 8th International Conference on Web-Age Information Management, WAIM 2007, held in Huang Shan, China in June 2007: DBMAN 2007, WebETrends 2007, PAIS 2007, and ASWAN 2007.

Manufacturing systems and processes are becoming increasingly complex, making more rational decision-making in process control a necessity. Better information gathering and analysis techniques are needed and condition-based monitoring is gaining attention from researchers worldwide as a framework that will enable these improvements.

Condition Monitoring and Control for Intelligent Manufacturing brings together the world s authorities on condition-based monitoring to provide a broad treatment of the subject accessible to researchers and practitioners in manufacturing...

Presents a detailed discussion of present educational principles and policies, and their impact on the effectiveness of education in a multi-national context.

Demonstrates the advantages of catalytic cascade reactions for synthesizing natural products and pharmaceuticals

Riding the wave of green chemistry, catalytic cascade reactions have become one of the most active research areas in organic synthesis. During a cascade reaction, just one reaction solvent, one workup procedure, and one purification step are needed, thus significantly increasing synthetic efficiency.

Featuring contributions from an international team of pioneers in the field, Catalytic Cascade Reactions demonstrates the versatility and application of...
