Carotenoid Chemistry and Biochemistry
The yellow, orange and red organic pigments which are produced by algae, plants, and various fungi and bacteria are termed as carotenoids. The branches of chemistry and biochemistry which deal with the study of carotenoids are known as carotenoid chemistry and carotenoid biochemistry, respectively. The two main roles served by carotenoid in plants and algae are, the absorption of light energy which is used in photosynthesis, and to provide photoprotection with the help of non-photochemical quenching. Carotenoids help in the control of trans-membrane transport of molecular oxygen in plants, which is released in photosynthesis. They also play a significant role in animals by helping oxygen in its transport, storage and metabolism processes. This book provides significant information of this discipline to help develop a good understanding of carotenoid chemistry and carotenoid biochemistry. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
Biotechnology: Innovative Technologies
Biotechnology is referred to as the utilization of biological processes for industrial and other purposes. It involves the genetic manipulation of microorganisms for the production of antibiotics and hormones. Innovative biotechnology provides advanced products and techniques to combat devitalizing and rare diseases and develop greener, and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes. Biotechnology has applications across multiple industries such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, bio-products, textiles, medicine, nutrition, and animal sciences. A few of its major branches are animal, medical, industrial, environmental, and plant biotechnology. This book attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the discipline of biotechnology and how such concepts have practical applications. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards innovative technologies and evolution of this field are examined in detail. As this field is emerging at a fast pace, this book will help the readers to better understand the concepts of biotechnology.
Patent Litigation and Strategy
This book sets out governing statutes and rules at the beginning of each chapter and includes sample litigation documents where possible. The casebook begins with discussions of who to sue, where to sue, pleading requirements, discovery, and trial strategy. It then moves into substantive legal issues. The Third Edition includes new material on pharmaceutical litigation under the Hatch-Waxman Act and the most developments in the law of invalidity and infringement. The book next addresses issues surrounding remedies, including injunctive relief (with a discussion of the Supreme Court's eBay decision), contempt proceedings, and damages. Also included are post-trial matters including jury instructions, special verdict forms, the preclusive effect of final judgments, judgment as a matter of law, and new trial motions. Finally, the book covers the appeal process and reexamination and reissue proceedings.
Swift, the Book, and the Irish Financial Revolution
Winner, 2010 Donald Murphy Prize for a Distinguished First Book, American Conference on Irish Studies Renowned as one of the most brilliant satirists ever, Jonathan Swift has long fascinated Hibernophiles beyond the shores of the Emerald Isle. Sean Moore's examination of Swift's writings and the economics behind the distribution of his work elucidates the humorist's crucial role in developing a renewed sense of nationalism among the Irish during the eighteenth century. Taking Swift's Irish satires, such as A Modest Proposal and the Drapier's Letters, as examples of anticolonial discourse, Moore unpacks the author's carefully considered published words and his deliberate drive to liberate the...
Lipid Metabolism and Health
Lipids are macrobiomolecules which are soluble in non-polar solvents. They are utilized for signaling, storing energy and as basic structural component of cell membranes. Lipids are hydrophilic in nature and find extensive use in food industry, cosmetic industry and nanotechnology. Lipids metabolism refers to the synthesis and degradation lipids which are present in cell bodies. This involves the breakdown and storage of fats, and synthesis of functional and structural lipids. The processes studied under this discipline are lipid absorption, lipid transportation, lipid catabolism and lipid biosynthesis. The biosynthesis mechanisms can be further classified into fatty acid biosynthesis, membr...
