Several areas of forensic science use the technique of gas
chromatography, ranging from fire analysis to the investigation of
fraudulent food and perfumes. Covering the essentials of this
powerful analytical technique, Forensic Applications of Gas
Chromatography explains the theory and shows applications of this
knowledge to various realms of forensic science. Topics include: A
brief introduction to gas chromatography and its use in forensic
science Various components that make up the gas chromatographic
instrumentation The theory of the separation process, along with
the chemistry underpinning the process Method development, with a
specific example of a separation of eight different compounds using
a gas chromatography-flame ionization detector Quality assurance
and method validation-with information applicable to many types of
analytical testing laboratories Troubleshooting in gas
chromatography systems New developments in gas chromatography and
advances in columns and detectors Real examples supplement the
text, along with questions in each chapter. The book includes
examples of applications of gas chromatography in drugs,
toxicology, fire, paint, food, and fragrance. Each application is
presented as an individual case study with specific focus on a
particular sample preparation technique. This allows each technique
to be discussed with respect to its theory, instrumentation,
solvent selection, and function, as appropriate. Each case study
provides readers with suitable practical information to allow them
to perform experiments in their own laboratory either as part of a
practical laboratory class or in a research context. The final
chapter provides answers to the questions and encourages further
study and discussion.

Since the publication of the first edition of Pharmaceutical
Biotechnology over a decade ago, a not-so-subtle shift in the
meaning of the term "biotechnology" has occurred. It has come to
mean something very specific, namely the development of drug
substances with large protein and polypeptide molecules. These
substances can be used as drugs in their own right but may also be
used to manipulate cellular DNA in order to produce a required
molecule that is believed to have desirable properties in the
treatment of a disease. Accordingly, the second edition of this
popular text reflects that change of definition by including new
material that explores the development of these protein-based
therapeutic substances. See what's new in the Second Edition:
-Expanded coverage of the formulation of proteins -Additional
information on proteins used as drug delivery systems -Detailed
discussion of interactions between proteins and phospholipids
-Increased information on proteomics and gene therapy -Exploration
of pulmonary administration and oral delivery of proteins -A broad
review of vaccines -Discussion of genetic engineering and genomics
-Challenges and issues involved in the development and the
production of a drug

Diagnosis and its underlying clinical reasoning are central to
medical practice. Formerly, both doctors and patients alike tended
to view diagnosis as an art, an intuitive ability that could not be
taught but that emerged only after extensive clinical experience.
However in these days of public accountability, the ability of
doctors to properly understand and diagnose patient problems is
more crucial than ever. Concern for patient safety has led
healthcare providers to campaign strongly to reduce levels of
patient-related adverse events. Once, these were viewed as a
regrettable but mostly unavoidable consequence of the uncertainty
inherent in medicine. But the evidence is that many are highly
preventable. In particular, the level of diagnostic error, the
second largest cause of adverse events overall, highlights both the
importance of the diagnostic process in medical care and the need
for universities and medical educators to graduate doctors with
strong diagnostic and clinical reasoning skills. This work explores
the nature, role in diagnosis and development of clinical
reasoning, and looks to apply the insights gained to undergraduate
and postgraduate medical education.
Observations: The 1st Four Dozen is the flagship of a three book
series by poet, lyricist and author, Michael Grove. Observations:
The 2nd Wave, and Observations: 3rd time's a charm will round out
this collection.
Publishing poetry is a bit like walking around naked in public,
except it is not yet illegal. This is poetry, pure, simple and
naked. This is from the heart and soul, with the mind and
conscience as contributing editors. This is art from language. It
is presented here in four sub-titles: Creative Concepts, Wishful
Thinking, Scattered Ramblings and Words of Faith.
Follow this journey through multiple moods with an enchanting
collection which features something for everyone. Readers will be
enlightened by the hopeful and spiritually uplifting verse and
intrigued by those dealing with the struggling search for love in
the midst of lust. Shedding greed in favor of charity is a
reoccurring theme.
FROM THE AUTHOR: "Over the years, I've often said Learn from the
past, Live in the Present and Look to the Future. I hold hope that
I may contribute to it's betterment, and do my best to have a
positive impact on all whom I come in contact with. The world today
is what it is so I Pray for Peace, Hope for Joy and Live for Love.
Of course, there will always remain the Garbage In = Garbage Out
theory, still this book is thought-provoking and worth owning and
reading."
ABOUT THE COVER: Intense thought, the result of distinct
observations and experiences burn from within, consuming me
perhaps, yet forged so deeply within my soul that they drive me
onward. So many, so rapid and so fleeting that the vast majority
still escape me, burned away forever, in a brief moment. Comeand
get it.
