The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds

The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds A comprehensive exploration of one-carbon molecule transformations The chemistry of one-carbon molecules has recently gained significant prominence as the world transitions away from a petroleum-based economy to a more sustainable one. In The Chemical Transformations of C1 Compounds, an accomplished team of chemists delivers an in-depth overview of recent developments in the field of single-carbon chemistry. The three-volume book covers all major C1 sources, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, methanol, formic acid, formaldehyde, carbenes, C1 halides, and organometallics. The editors have included resources discussing the main reac...

Image analysis is a fundamental task for extracting information from images acquired across a range of different devices. Since reliable quantitative results are requested, image analysis requires highly sophisticated numerical and analytical methods—particularly for applications in medicine, security, and remote sensing, where the results of the processing may consist of vitally important data. The contributions to this book provide a good overview of the most important demands and solutions concerning this research area. In particular, the reader will find image analysis applied for feature extraction, encryption and decryption of data, color segmentation, and in the support new technologies. In all the contributions, entropy plays a pivotal role.

Genomics of the Saccharinae

The Saccharinae clade of the Poaceae (grass) family of flowering plants includes several important crops with a rich history of contributions to humanity and the promise of still-greater contributions, as a result of some of the highest biomass productivity levels known, resilience to drought and other environmental challenges that are likely to increase, amenability to production systems that may mitigate or even reverse losses of ecological capital such as topsoil erosion, and the recent blossoming of sorghum as a botanical and genomic model for the clade. In Genomics of the Saccharinae, advances of the past decade and earlier are summarized and synthesized to elucidate the current state o...

PAMP Signals in Plant Innate Immunity

Plant innate immunity is a potential surveillance system of plants and is the first line of defense against invading pathogens. The immune system is a sleeping system in unstressed healthy plants and is activated on perception of the pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP; the pathogen’s signature) of invading pathogens. The PAMP alarm/danger signals are perceived by plant pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs). The plant immune system uses several second messengers to encode information generated by the PAMPs and deliver the information downstream of PRRs to proteins which decode/interpret signals and initiate defense gene expression. This book describes the most fascinating PAMP-PRR signaling complex and signal transduction systems. It also discusses the highly complex networks of signaling pathways involved in transmission of the signals to induce distinctly different defense-related genes to mount offence against pathogens.

The Chemistry of Hypervalent Halogen Compounds, 2 Volume Set

Für das Verständnis der organischen Chemie muss man wissen, worum es sich bei funktionalen Gruppen handelt. Dieses Fachbuch steht ganz in der Tradition der Reihe Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Jeder Band deckt sämtliche Aspekte funktionaler Gruppen ab und behandelt dabei theoretische, analytische, synthetische, biologische Aspekte sowie Belange der Industrie. Hypervalente Halogenverbindungen, insbesondere Jodverbindungen, sind überaus effiziente und selektive Oxidantien für eine Vielzahl funktionaler Gruppen. Die elektrophilen Eigenschaften dieser Reagenzien können auch für die Einführung anderer Funktionalisierungen verwendet werden. Dieser Band ist der erste in der Reihe, die die Eigenschaften und das chemische Verhalten von hypervalentem Jod und Brom, deren Einsatz in der organischen Synthese sowie deren industrielle Anwendung untersucht. Wie bei allen neuen Bänden, werden die Kapitel zunächst online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups veröffentlicht. Wenn ein Band online vervollständigt ist, erfolgt die Herausgabe als Printversion. Die Printfassung entspricht der Qualität, die man von der Patai-Reihe kennt, und bietet auch einen umfassenden Index.

Organophosphorus Chemistry

This annual review of the literature, the 50th volume in the present series, provides a comprehensive and critical survey of a vast field of study involving organophosphorus compounds, ranging from phosphines, their chalcogenide derivatives and phosphonium salts, phosphorus (III) acid derivatives, phosphorus (V) acids, penta- and hexa-coordinated phosphorus compounds, phosphazenes and related phosphorus-nitrogen bonded compounds. Coverage is also presented of applications of organophosphorus compounds in homogeneous catalysis for synthesis of bulk and fine chemicals and also in applications as reagents in green synthetic procedures.
