Fundamentals and Applications of Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry
Fundamentals and Applications of Fourier Transform Mass Spectrometry is the first book to delve into the underlying principles on the topic and their linkage to industrial applications. Drs. Schmitt-Kopplin and Kanawati have brought together a team of leading experts in their respective fields to present this technique from many different perspectives, describing, at length, the pros and cons of FT-ICR and Orbitrap. Numerous examples help researchers decide which instruments to use for their particular scientific problem and which data analysis methods should be applied to get the most out of their data. Covers FT-ICR-MS and Orbitrap’s fundamentals, enhancing researcher knowledge Includes details on ion sources, data processing, chemical analysis and imaging Provides examples across the wide spectrum of applications, including omics, environmental, chemical, pharmaceutical and food analysis
Capillary Electrophoresis
This book presents a selection of current capillary electrophoresis methods used to separate representative types of molecules and particles and in combination with different detection techniques. It includes practical details which are hard to find elsewhere. The volume is intended for beginners in the field and provides an overview of the technique and a starting point for the exploration of the defined literature on different application topics.
Uncharted Waters
Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are potentially toxic compounds formed when drinking water is treated with disinfectants, such as chlorine or chloramine. A large proportion of the exposure to DBPs is still unknown and the health risks observed through epidemiological studies cannot be explained by DBPs known today. In this thesis, a part of the unknown DBP fraction is investigated, covering a wide range of non-volatile, chlorine/bromine-containing DBPs. The goals were to investigate how the compositions of these DBPs differ between water treatment plants, how their occurrence changes in the distribution system until reaching consumers and how new treatment techniques can reduce their formati...
Food Toxicants Analysis
Food Toxicants Analysis covers different aspects from the field of analytical food toxicology including emerging analytical techniques and applications to detect food allergens, genetically modified organisms, and novel ingredients (including those of functional foods). Focus will be on natural toxins in food plants and animals, cancer modulating substances, microbial toxins in foods (algal, fungal, and bacterial) and all groups of contaminants (i.e., pesticides), persistent organic pollutants, metals, packaging materials, hormones and animal drug residues. The first section describes the current status of the regulatory framework, including the key principles of the EU food law, food safety...
From Terrain to Brain
"Wine connects people and places, but also ways of making knowledge across and beyond natural and social sciences. Biochemistry and microbiology, fluid dynamics and plant pathology, human physiology and cognitive psychology, and virtually every other scientific discipline each brings its own lens to understanding what wine is, each useful for different purposes. Looking through one lens ultimately invokes others, so that they anastomose around wine as a social, cultural, and scientific phenomenon. Unfortunately, "the science of wine" is often presented as a set of facts about what wine is, from several limited disciplinary perspectives, as trivia to memorize. Instead, this popular wine science book approaches the many sciences of wine as a set of diverse tools for appreciating and enjoying more of what wine can be. Each chapter begins with a common wine concern-sugar, alcohol, glass, etc.-and makes a foray out across the many sciences of wine to synthesize ways of understanding it. Ultimately, in addition to expanding avenues for enjoyment, the book aims to locate scientific research in the wider social context of how wine is made and enjoyed"--
Genetics Meets Metabolomics
This book is written by leading researchers in the fields about the intersection of genetics and metabolomics which can lead to more comprehensive studies of inborn variation of metabolism.
Halophiles and Hypersaline Environments
This book presents the latest results in the exploration of halophilic bacteria, archaea, fungi and viruses. Basic and molecular aspects as well as possible biotechnological applications of halophiles are highlighted by leading scientists. Topics include: the family Halomonadaceae; the hypersaline lakes of Inner Mongolia ; Salinibacter ruber - from genomics to microevolution and ecology; the impact of lipidomics on the microbial world of hypersaline environments; molecular mechanisms of adaptation to high salt concentration in the black yeast Hortaea werneckii; viruses in hypersaline environments; initiation and regulation of translation in halophilic Archaea; protein transport into and across haloarchaeal cytoplasmic membranes; protein glycosylation in Haloferax volcanii; the effect of anoxic conditions and temperature on gas vesicle formation in Halobacterium salinarum; halophiles exposed to multiple stressors; cellular adjustments of Bacillus subtilis to fluctuating salinities; the nature and function of carotenoids in Halobacillus halophilus; xanthorhodopsin; enzymatic biomass degradation by halophilic microorganisms; and enzymes from halophilic Archaea.
Proof
Presents a look at the science of alcohol production and consumption, from the principles behind the fermentation, distillation, and aging of alcoholic beverages, to the psychology and neurobiology of what happens after it is consumed.
Functions of Natural Organic Matter in Changing Environment
Functions of Natural Organic Matter in Changing Environment presents contributions from the 16th Meeting of the International Humic Substances Society (IHSS 16) held in Hangzhou, China on September 9-14, 2012. It provides a comprehensive and updated research advance in the field of characterization, function, application of humic substances (HS) and natural organic matter (NOM) in environment, agriculture, and industry. A broad range of topics are covered: i) formation, structure and characteristics of HS and NOM; ii) HS/NOM and carbon sequestration; iii) HS/NOM and biogeochemical cycling of nutrients; iv) HS/NOM and the environmental processes of toxic elements and anthropogenic organics; v...
