The book covers the whole breadth of this dynamic field, including classical microfabr
Before the Death March is the sequel to Intervention by Michael Widmer. The GT Intervention Team entrusted by the president and vice president to stop mass shootings is back, and now their focus will experience an increase in the types of mass killers they will be facing. The information being gathered by the government has reached epic proportions, and the long-term focus continues to be the justification leaders use to continue the monitoring of “prospects” in an effort to stop the mass killings that plague the country. Who is safe from the invasion of personal privacy? And what will be the long-term solution? The story contains fictional characters from Intervention taking on the killers picked by the system. As the system grows, the number of teams increases as well. Though the cases are fictional, the type of crimes they address threatens all of us in real life, crimes that fade with the intervals in between incidents. At the end of the story, the author discusses solutions and the need to address more than just gun control, mental health, and lengthy investigations into why.
Christians give a broad spectrum of answers to the question, “What is worship?” These include ascribing worth to God, performing certain activities during worship services, singing a particular style of song, responding to God with our whole being, and more. That Christians have such a splintered understanding of something as important as worship is far from satisfactory. How Majestic is Your Name aims to broaden our understanding of worship by engaging the subject biblically and theologically as developed in both Testaments of Scripture. As we learn more of God’s design, our daily, weekly, and seasonal practices of private and public worship will be renewed. Foundations are laid by id...
“Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy!” (Ps 86:1). God’s people, past and present, know that the Lord of all creation listens to their prayers for mercy, help, forgiveness, and justice. God’s people cry out to the heart of their God, sometimes through intense struggle and perplexity, and they expect an answer. There can be no less in a true relationship. They also celebrate their experiences of God’s faithfulness. There is no area of life outside the bounds of prayer. The essays in this collection, written by biblical scholars, explore Old Testament prayers in order to enrich our understanding of Israel’s beliefs about and relationship with God. Equally important for each of the authors is the following question: Why do these prayers matter for the life of the church today?
This new book on capillary electrophoresis (CE) is unique in its focus on biotechnology. It is devoted to proteins, peptides, and techniques especially useful in the area of recombinant DNA products. Emphasis is also placed on glycoproteins. Because of the growing role of the glycosylation process in CE, a comprehensive chapter on the subject acts as a book within a book. Although this well-known researcher in biotechnology presents a number of chapters extensively discussing theories, important practical aspects in the routine use of capillary electrophoresis are also covered.
Electrokinetic Phenomena emphasizes the impact of methods such as capillary zone electrophoresis, capillary electrochromatography, and capillary gel electrophoresis on the analysis of biomolecules. This reference reveals the electrokinetic phenomena that underlie high-performance electro-based analytical tools and vividly depicts how electrodriven analytical tools revolutionize and expedite chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnological analysis. An authoritative overview, the book provides effective pathways for large-scale biomedical applications and describes how microfabricated and automated devices enhance and accelerate the analysis of biologically important molecules.
