Spot Test Analysis: Clinical, Environmental, Fore– Forensic & Geochemical Applications 2e (Hardcover, 2nd Edition): E Jungreis Spot Test Analysis: Clinical, Environmental, Fore– Forensic & Geochemical Applications 2e (Hardcover, 2nd Edition)
E Jungreis
R4,652 Discovery Miles 46 520 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Everything you need to make the most of spot and screen tests

Spot Test Analysis demonstrates hundreds of valuable applications for the simple spot and screen test. Whether screening for cholesterol in blood, conducting antibody-based field tests for explosives, or even doing preliminary examinations, this laboratory reference book contains the detailed procedural information necessary for conducting rapid, on-the-spot chemical tests.

This new edition is revised and updated to provide the most useful information in the field. Among the important applications featured in this broad, far-reaching book are:

  • Spot tests in clinical analysis
  • Field and spot tests used in geochemistry and geochemical exploration
  • Tests for detection and evaluation of air pollution
  • Water quality screening for organic and inorganic materials
  • Rapid screen tests of soils and plant tissues
  • Screen tests for food adulteration and food composition

Spot Test Analysis, Second Edition is an indispensable resource for professionals in forensics, geochemistry, medicine, and public health.

Quick, inexpensive, and increasingly more sophisticated, the simple spot test has transformed the ways analysts screen for chemicals. In the past few decades, technological advancements have permitted enormous amplification of the resulting signal. This progression, coupled with a trend toward simplification, has enabled professionals in forensics, geochemistry, medicine, and public health to answer analytical questions with minimum cost and time.

Spot Test Analysis, Second Edition is a practical and far-reaching laboratory reference book. In addition to explaining the contemporary uses of spot and screen tests, this text describes the most up-to-date techniques for academic, medical, and commercial applications.

In this new edition, Dr. Ervin Jungreis provides detailed procedural information. While the screen and spot tests discussed here do not attempt to stand in for necessary complex analytical investigations, they do demonstrate that rapid methods are sufficient to register gross deviation from a norm and establish a conclusive negative.

This revised and updated Second Edition is as thorough in its treatment of techniques and applications as its predecessor. It provides many new wet and dry immunoassay procedures, such as tests for cholesterol and HDL, HIV and HSV, drugs, and explosives. Whole sections are devoted to spot testing in geochemistry, detecting toxins in air pollution, testing water for inorganic matter, and analyzing diagnostic test strips for foods, such as diethylene glycol in wine, saxitoxin in shellfish, and antibiotics in milk.

This dictionary is the first to provide a comprehensive explanation of the bewildering array of acronyms and technical terms which have crept into the NMR literature in recent years. Aimed at chemists and biochemists who have only an elementary knowledge of NMR, it provides a clear description of the concepts and basic principles involved, including developments in two-dimensional NMR methods in liquids. Mathematical descriptions are used where appropriate, however the level of mathematical competence required is low, and the more complex aspects are fully explained in the text.

Each term is explained in full, extensive cross-references are included, and suggestions for further reading are included. The new and revised paperback edition of this well-received dictionary includes many new, up-to-date entries - for example, on three- and four-dimensional NMR.

The undergraduate research project is almost universally treated as the culmination of all previous lecture, lab and tutorial work. The project allows for the development of individuality and confers ownership of a challenge possessing an originality that goes far beyond the communal legacy presented by age old lab scenarios. Central to this is the magical transition of the student from a consumer of knowledge to a producer, yet the journey is often both daunting and perplexing when considering where to start and how to reach the destination using the resources provided and in the allotted time. There are numerous books within the social sciences which provide students with guidance on how to conduct a "successful" project but few can be found in relation to the physical sciences. This can be ascribed to the fact that the former has a very similar structure and procedural methodology whereas the latter can possess a near fractal differentiation into a myriad of sub disciplines and specialisms thereby preventing the provision of a single, expansive catchall text. This book adapts some of the components and ethos of the Projects in Controlled Environments (PRinCE2) project management approach to physical science projects. This is the industry and government standard and was introduced to address the common causes of project failure ie. not delivering projects on time, within budget, within scope or to the right quality. It has rapidly emerged as an international standard and most graduates will doubtless encounter it upon moving outside academia and into the wider world. It is a concise, multilevel resource that provides guidance on the core components common to almost every project within the physical, engineering and life sciences (problem assessment and contextualisation, literature review practices, sources and citation, data presentation, reporting styles, data analysis and error etc). It standardises the delivery of the material but, more importantly, links the components together by outlining a coherent procedural road map that can highlight to the student "what to do," "when to do it" and "how to solve it" procedures. The content of the book is presented through case studies so as to enhance the relevance of the processes, presents examples of good practice and, in keeping with the toolbox approach, can be readily adapted and applied by the students. The book is an accessible reference guide for students, written in a light style, suitable for dipping in and out of as required and the "how to/when to/what if" examples are presented in an often humorous light. It includes flow charts to emphasize the project planning, dissertation components etc and charts to highlight presentation of data, analysis, interpretation and error.

Gottingen ist mit den Aufgaben und Zielen der Deutschen Gesellschaft fUr Medizinische Dokumentation, Informatik und Statistik (GMDS) nicht nur durch die yom 3. - 5. Oktober 1977 stattgefundene 22. Jahrestagung verbunden. Schon durch den Mathematiker Felix B ern s t e i n, dem anlaBlich seines 100. Geburtstages eine Diplomarbeit aus dem Mathe- matisch-Statistischen Institut der Universitat Gotting n gewidmet worden ist, wurden bereits vor dem ersten Weltkrieg und in den darauf- folgenden Jahren grundlegende mathematisch-statistische Arbeiten auf dem Gebiet des Versicherungswesens und der Humangenetik durchgefUhrt. Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg hat H 0 s e man n in Gottingen die Ver- fahren der maschinellen Lochkartendokumentation zur Datensammlung als Grundlage statistischer Verfahren fUr die Universitats-Frauenklinik eingesetzt. Ein Teil seiner Entwicklungen, besonders auf dem Gebiet der Erfassung und Standardisierung der gynakologischen Karzinome werden heute noch verwendet. Ende 1952 und 1954 war Gottingen Tagungsort der Untergruppe Medizin der Deutschen Gesellschaft fUr Dokumentation (DGD) und nach GrUndung des "ArbeitsausschuB Medizin" in der DGD, dem direkten Vorlaufer unserer Gesellschaft, wurde die e r s t e Jahrestagung in Gottingen mit dem Thema: "Lochkarten und Randlochkarten im klinischen Gebrauch" durchgefUhrt.
