Presenting a novel biomimetic design method for transferring design solutions from nature to technology, this book focuses on structure-function patterns in nature and advanced modeling tools derived from TRIZ, the theory of inventive problem-solving. The book includes an extensive literature review on biomimicry as an engine of both innovation and sustainability, and discusses in detail the biomimetic design process, current biomimetic design methods and tools. The structural biomimetic design method for innovation and sustainability put forward in this text encompasses (1) the research method and rationale used to develop and validate this new design method; (2) the suggested design algorithm and tools including the Find structure database, structure-function patterns and ideality patterns; and (3) analyses of four case studies describing how to use the proposed method. This book offers an essential resource for designers who wish to use nature as a source of inspiration and knowledge, innovators and sustainability experts, and scientists and researchers, amongst others.
The first edition of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry was published in 1990 and was very well received. Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry II is much more than a simple updating of the contents of the first edition. Completely revised and expanded, this new edition has been refocused to reflect the significant developments and changes over the past decade in genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening and pharmacology, and more. The content comprises the most up-to-date, authoritative and comprehensive reference text on contemporary medicinal chemistry and drug research, covering major therapeutic classes and targets, research strategy and organis...

From the very outset, arene chemistry has been one of the most varied and intensively studied areas of research, and has witnessed a rapid growth over the past few years in particular. This book, edited by the renowned chemist Didier Astruc, illustrates the incredible diversity to be found in this fascinating field. * Sixteen contributions from authors who read like a "Who's Who" of arene chemistry: D. Astruc, U. H. F. Bunz, A. de Meijere, F. Diederich, K. H. Dötz, K. S. Feldman, W. D. Harman, J. F. Hartwig, H. Hopf, J. K. Kochi, S. Quideau, F. Rose-Munch, L. T. Scott, V. Snieckus, J. F. Stoddart, and A. Suzuki * the book covers all the important aspects from history to the latest developments, including supramolecular chemistry, coupling reactions, cyclophanes, transition-metal arene complexes, and arene functionalization among many others. * essential reading for every organic or bioorganic chemist and those working with organometallics, catalysis, and materials.
Snakes of the World: A Catalogue of Living and Extinct Species, published in 2014, was the first catalogue of its kind and covered all living and fossil snakes described between 1758 and 2012. This new volume will be a supplement to this important herpetological reference and will include new published data on snakes named and recognized since 2012. Key Features Supplements and updates Wallach et al. – Snakes of the World – the only work to cover all living snakes in the world. Includes updates for fossil snakes named since the publication of Wallach et al. Summarizes the systematic snake literature published since the appearance of Wallach et al. Genera and species are listed alphabetically for ease of reference. Related Titles Wallach, V., K. L. Williams, and J. Boundy.
