Examines research in the field of biotechnology, as well as very important problems for ecology in the big cities. This title places emphasis on certain problems such as the influence of humous components in the soil on the reaction kinetics of remediation, heavy metal analysis of soil based on fuzzy logic system.

This book examines information regarding the influence of Ichfan-10 and Phenozan on the content of two apoptotic proteins in the blood and the spleen of mice. Particular attention is placed on the perspectives of different types of polymer nanocomposite applications as engineering materials; structural analysis of nanocomposites polymer/organoclay microhardness; disturbance of oxidative homeostasis in blood of patients with mental diseases; quenching of SYBRGreen fluorescence on DNA matrix by Au nanoparticles; biodegradation of the films of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate and its blends in soil and...

Polysaccharides, particularly starches, are common all over world. They are considered an important energy source and substitute of fossils including petrol because of their availability, biodegradability and versatility. Such anticipations generate intensive studies on structure, properties and novel ways of using polysaccharides- and starch-based materials. This book contains original reviews and research papers presented at the XVII International Starch Convention, Moscow-Cracow, which was held in Moscow in June, 2009.

Presents research on reactive oxygen species in joint physiology, including possible mechanism of maintaining hypoxia to protect chondrocytes from oxygen excess via synovial fluid hyaluronan peroxidation. This book also explores anti-oxidative properties of the piestany-spa curative waters from healing peloid and maturation pool.

This book includes information about the modern experimental and theoretical analysis methods of particulate-filled nanocomposites structure, fibre reinforced antibacterial laminated nanostructured material for filtration of toxic particles, prediction of nanofibre diameter for optimisation of laminated nanostructured material for filtration of toxic particles, intensification desalting of the gas distillate in turbulent flows, theoretical analysis of macromolecular coil connectivity degree influence on autohesion strength, carbon nanotubes geometry and reinforcement degree of polymer...

Professor Yurii B Monakov was a world-renowned scientist and exceptional person who deserves our deepest admiration. This volume is dedicated to him and his success in science. It also includes papers that discusses quantum chemical study of free radical polymerisation of methyl methacrylate in the presence of zirconocene dichloride.
