The book presents the quantum theory of the electronic structure of
atoms and focuses on the electronic structures and reactivity of
atoms and molecules. It shows how to draw molecules such as the
oxygen and water to far more complex molecules, using molecular
orbital theory, and hybridization of orbitals. It gives quite clear
picture of molecular polarity, together with symmetrical and
unsymmetrical distribution of an atom or molecule when developing a
temporary (instantaneous) dipole. The book provides a clear and
comprehensive summary of oxidative and reductive processes.
Electronegativity on oxidation and reduction is also introduced.
Examples are provided. It enables the reader to master the
principles and applications of organic functional groups. Readers
will find information quickly and easily about alkanes, alkenes,
alkynes and arenes. Bonding with and is also introduced. It
explains the fundamental principles of nomenclature methods, using
IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry) and
enables the reader to apply it accurately and with confidence. The
book is replete with examples for guidance and there are extensive
and complicated figures to direct the reader to nomenclature
quickly. It gives hands-on chemistry activities with real-life
functions. It provides clear and thorough understanding of
carbohydrates, polysaccharides, starch and glycogen, cellulose and
chitin, nucleotide, nitrogenous hydroxyl and phosphate, lipids,
protein, ester, lipoprotein, glycolipid, steroid, mucin, etc. it is
a useful reference for health professionals, practicing physicists,
chemists, and materials scientists.
Dr. Elsersawi, a pioneer in the filed of electricity and its
effect in living things, challenges the traditional mechanistic in
our thinking about the living inner process of magnetism. He found
clues to the interaction between electromagnetic field and the
human body. Like the gravity of the earth and the quantum in the
universe, the magnet has different effect on different regions of
the earth and the universe. The strength and location of natural
magnetic fields on the earth can influence our minds, alter our
character, and noticeably affect our health. The text explains the
effect of magnetic fields on humans at different altitudes on the
earth. For example, the intensity of magnetic fields at the two
poles is greater than at the equator.
This reference explores the sources, characteristics, health
hazards and benefits of electromagnetic fields (EM), of
low-frequency fields and of radio frequency radiations. Pulsed
Electro Magnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is also expressed in pain
relief, osteoporosis treatment, fibromyalgia treatment, fracture
healing, rheumatic pain, and stress reduction. More over,
electricity and electromagnetic fields do affect the spiritual
quality of the human. Electricity can vibrate cells, nerves, bones,
organs, and change the chemical reaction and metabolism.
Disharmonious or unbalanced vibrations show themselves in many ways
including discomfort, disease, illness, fatigue, and a variety of
different symptoms. Higher vibrations mean healthy body, and low
vibrations mean an ailing body.
Interestingly, particular electromagnetic waves can cause
degenerative disorder of the central nervous system (the brain),
which leads to Parkinson's and Huntington's diseases, and
impairments both in sequence learning, and in the initiation and
termination of voluntary movements.
The book contains materials describing different waves of EM of
alpha, beta and Gamma to explain their interaction with biological
systems.
This book describes the structure and function of the brain and
nervous system. You will be able to understand a number of tasks
such as motor control, visual processing, auditory processing,
sensation, learning, memory, and intelligence. It provides an easy
and enjoyable means of learning and reviewing the fundamentals of
the human brain through key concepts and progresses in small,
logical, easy-to-learn increments. It is ideal for the
nonexpert-students, professionals and amateur people alike. This
book explores the latest findings that demonstrate, through the use
of technology like brain scans, that the old-aged brain is more
flexible and more capable than previously thought. Dr. Elsersawi,
one of the authors of this book, is an electrical engineer by
training and a biochemist by inclination. He represents the brain
as a closed box; of which the input can be one electrical pulse,
and the output is of multi-order feed back loops. For example, you
can measure the voltage, current, frequency of the electrical
signals input to the brain, but you can not measure simultaneous
individual signals distributed among the parts of the brain. Each
individual signal passes though complicated pathways to execute
certain functions such as perception, analysis, and task.
The book navigates you through subjects such as bionanotechnology,
nanomedicine, nanotoxiclogy, dendrimers, carbon nanotubes,
fullerenes, and microscopy. It is an authoritative book written for
a broad audience. Nanotechnology in biology and medicine: methods,
devices, and applications provides a comprehensive overview of the
current state of nanomaterials that integrates interdisciplinary
research to present the most recent advances in protocols, methods,
instrumentation, and applications of nanotechnology in biology and
medicine. The book discusses research areas in medicine where
nanotechnology would play a prominent role. These areas include: o
Drug Development o Detection of protein and probing DNA structure o
Tumour destruction by heating and tumour dragging by magnets o
Tissue engineering o Diagnosis and biodetection of pathogens o New
biomedical devices o Fluorescent biological markers It is a
valuable resource for engineers, scientists, researchers, and
professionals in a wide range of disciplines whose focus remains on
the power and promise of nanotechnology in biology and medicine.
The book also provides an overview of different legal doctrines
that are relevant to nanotechnology and explains how they may apply
in the development, commercialization, and use of nanoproducts.
Societal implications and economical impacts of nanotechnology are
also discussed. Many images are included to provide concrete
illustrations, to attract attention, to aid retention, and to
enhance understanding of the world of nanobioengineering.
Aging is not a process of decline; it is a process of continuing to
meet life's challenges and of growing into a complete human being.
Aging is a complex interaction of genetics, chemistry, biology and
physiology; topics that are worthwhile to address. This book offers
a good introduction to the biology and chemistry of aging. It
emphasizes on cellular aging, and covers different areas and
theories which deal with mechanism of aging. If the reader has some
background in biology, then this is an excellent introductionary
book to the biology and chemistry of aging. The book includes
information on aging of cell and reversal of aging, DNA damage
theory of aging, acidity, oxidative stress, radicals, insulin/IGF
hormones, anabolic and catabolic hormones, testosterone and
estrogen, energy through conversion between NAD+ and NADH, DNA
transcription to RNA, and RNA translation to protein. This book is
the first of its kind in providing scientists, physicians,
pharmacists, engineers, teachers, computer programmers, and anyone
with a background or strong interest in biology, chemistry, and
aging. The book deals with scientific causes of aging, and
philosophical and sociological implication of life-extension and
research on aging. I recommend it for those serious about the
biology and chemistry of aging.
This book is a real journey into many modern physics including
quantum physics and the chemistry of the evolution of the universe.
Mathematically, the book shows that science can not prove the
imbalanced force and momentum between the sun and its orbiting
planets. The analysis also demonstrates that the earth and the
solar planets are not conjoined to the sun in their orbit.
Therefore, the analysis in this book reinforces theology over
science. The Big Bang theory is an interesting and valuable
scientific theory, and it is one of the best theories that
materialists have been using to justify that God has nothing to do
with the creation of the universe. The Big Bang theory cannot
explain the origin of the universe just by saying the universe was
created from nothingness. Scientists can not absorb that galaxies
and our planet were made from nothing. This book shows the
scientific and philosophical weaknesses of the Big Bang theory by
pointing out the contradiction of many cores of the theory. Written
on a level that scientifically uneducated people can comprehend, it
fairly proves the intellectual superiority of God in the creation
of the universe as given in the holy books.
