100 Chemical Myths deals with popular yet largely untrue misconceptions and misunderstandings related to chemistry. It contains lucid and concise explanations cut through fallacies and urban legends that are universally relevant to a global audience. A wide range of chemical myths are explored in these areas; food, medicines, catastrophes, chemicals, and environmental problems. Connections to popular culture, literature, movies, and cultural history hold the reader's interest whilst key concepts are beautifully annotated with illustrations to facilitate the understanding of unfamiliar material. Chemical Myths Demystified is pitched to individuals without a formal chemistry background to fledgling undergraduate chemists to seasoned researchers and beyond.

Die interdisziplinar angelegte Untersuchung behandelt die Wahlen zur Berliner Stadtverordnetenversammlung unter der Preuische Stadteordnung von 1808 auf der Basis umfangreicher Archivalien und stellt eine umfassende Aufarbeitung der unerforschten Anfange des stadtischen Parlamentarismus in Deutschland dar.
Ausgangspunkt sind die Ursprunge des Wahlrechts in der Stadteordnung und deren praktische Umsetzung. Das Wahlverfahren wird detailliert beschrieben; Wahlbeteiligung, Wahlverhalten, Wahlergebnis, Mandatsverweigerungen und Wiederwahlen sind aufgearbeitet und erlautert. Erstmals in der deutschen Wahlgeschichtsforschung werden soziale Zusammensetzung der Stadtverordnetenversammlungen einer preuischen Kommune uber den gesamten Zeitraum der Stadteordnung (1808-1850) und die Haltung kommunaler Eliten zur Frage allgemeiner Partizipationsmoglichkeiten und -chancen auf Gemeindeebene dargestellt.
Die Grundlage dafur sind die im Anhang aufgefuhrten Daten von vierzig Wahljahren, in denen rund 1500 Mandate von der Burgerschaft vergeben wurden. Dieses Verzeichnis samtlicher Stadtverordneten und deren Stellvertreter von 1808 bis 1850 mit Angabe von Beruf, Adresse, Wahlbezirk, Wahlort und Wahltermin bildet die Basis fur die Analyse der Anteile unterschiedlicher Berufsgruppen und deren Schwankungen in den Stadtverordnetenversammlungen Berlins. Das Verhaltnis religioser Minderheiten (Hugenotten und Juden) in den Burgervertretungen wird gesondert behandelt.
Die Untersuchung ist ein grundlegender Beitrag zur fruhen Wahlpartizipation und Erforschung politischer Eliten, zur Sozialgeschichte der Berliner Burgerschaft und - angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung Berlins als Metropole des 19. Jahrhunderts - zur deutschen und europaischen Stadtgeschichtsforschung.

Safety of Meat and Processed Meat provides the reader with the recent developments in the safety of meat and processed meat, from the abattoir along the processing chain to the final product. To achieve this goal, the editor uses five approaches. The first part deals with the main biological contaminants like pathogen microorganisms, specially E. coli and L. monocytogenes, toxins and biogenic amines that can be present either in meat or its derived products. The second part focuses on main technologies for meat decontamination as well as developments like active packaging or bioprotective cultures to extend the shelf life. The third part presents non-biological contaminants and residues in meat and meat products including nitrosamines, PAH, veterinary drugs and environmental compounds. The fourth part discusses current methodologies for the detection of microorganisms, its toxins, veterinary drugs, environmental contaminants and GMOs, and the final part deals with predictive models, risk assessment, regulations on meat safety, consumer perception, and other recent trends in the field. This book is written by distinguished international contributors with excellent experience and reputation. In addition, brings together advances in different safety approaches.

R11,382 Discovery Miles 113 820 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Advances in the flavonoid field have been nothing short of spectacular over the last 20 years. While the medical field has noticed flavonoids for their potential antioxidant, anticancer and cardioprotectant characteristics, growers and processors in plant sciences have utilized flavonoid biosynthesis and the genetic manipulation of the flavonoid pathway in plants to improve the nutritional and ornamental value of crops. Flavonoids: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Applications covers each class of flavonoid and presents the historic advances made in flavonoid research since the 1994 publication of an earlier text, Flavonoids Advances in Research Since 1986. This book details the analytical techniques scientists have used to achieve an improved understanding of flavonoid structures and functions as well as advances in the genetic manipulation of the flavonoid pathway, and the discovery of many new flavonoids. It indicates which techniques are best suited for the isolation and structure determination of flavonoids and whether the structures are novel. While explaining how to evaluate the flavonoid content in food and beverages, the book reveals the biotechnological advances that have allowed nutritionists and plant physiologists to assess the possible effects of flavonoids. As interest regarding the impact and health benefits of flavonoids continues to grow, Flavonoids: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Applications reflects the continuing commitment of flavonoid researchers to the improvement of human health and provides the most comprehensive, up-to-date source of information for all known flavonoids.

R3,034 Discovery Miles 30 340 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Nanocrystalline materials is the name given to three-dimensional ultrafine, polycrystalline microstructures. These microstructures give rise to chemical and physical size effects which are of increasing scientific and technological interest. This book describes the development of a chemical vapor synthesis method for the production of nanocrystalline ceramic powders. The development of the microstructure during sintering is studied and the influence of the synthesis parameters on the structure and properties of the nanocrystalline ceramics from the atomic to the microstructural level is investigated. The emerging unified view, from powder synthesis and ceramic processing to structural characterization and determination of properties, provides a detailed understanding of nanocrystalline materials and enables a precise control of the quality of the final products.

It has been a decade since two seminal reviews demonstrated that mixed-valence compounds share many unique and fascinating features. The insight pro vided by those early works has promoted a great deal of both experimental and theoretical study. As a result of extensive efforts, our understanding of the bonding and properties of mixed-valence compounds has advanced substantially. There has been no compre hensive treatment of mixed-valence compounds since 1967, and the meeting convened at Oxford in September, 1979, provided a unique opportunity to examine the subject and its many ramifications. Mixed-valence compounds play an important role in many fields. Although the major impact of the subject has been in chemistry, its importance has become increasingly clear in solid state physics, geology, and biology. Extensive interest and effort in the field of molecular metals has demonstrated that mixed-valency is a prerequisite for high elec trical conductivity. The intense colors of many minerals have been shown to be due to mixed-valency, and the electron-transfer properties of certain mixed-valence metalloproteins are important in biological processes. Experts from all of these areas participated in this meeting, and the truly interdisciplinary nature of the subject made it a unique learning experience for all in attendance."
