First rate ECM reference source.......2004-01-08

I found this to be a very thorough reference across a broad range of extracellular matrix proteins. In particular, identifying which critical ECM proteins to add back to 3D cell culture conditions to re-approximate the in vivo milieu. It was highly touted at http://home.ease.lsoft.com/archives/3d-cell-biology.html and www.puramatrix.com as a key manual for research and bioproduction involving ECM proteins.

Easy and practical approach to the subject.......1999-02-19

Easy to read and most of all usefull in the lab. Worthy to buy

Book Description

Describes several specific spectrometric techniques that are very useful in elucidating the fundamental nature of matter: EXAFS--Extended X-Ray Absorption of Fine Structure; SEXAFS--which is EXAFS applied to Surface Phenomena; and XANES--X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structures. Articles explain the phenomena and describe examples of X-ray absorption applications in several fields, including chemistry, biochemistry, catalysis, amorphous and liquid systems, synchrotron radiation, and surface phenomena. Contributors explain the underlying theory, how to set up X-ray absorption experiments, and how to analyze the details of the resulting spectra. This volume will be of particular interest to physicists, chemists, biologists, and materials scientists.

Review of Radiochemistry and Nuclear Methods .......2004-12-19

Although this text was written 1991 it still contains many relevant topics to the field of radiochemistry. Broad topics from nuclear dating methods to nucleosynthesis in star are covered. The text is written for the beginner or "non-specialist" within this field and provides a wide survey for the reader. There is not an emphasis on high-level mathematics or first principles of theoretical physics, the book does provides a clear, "first look" at radioactivity, the principles of radioactive decay, and nuclear reactions, as well as:

* Modern radiochemical instrumentation
* Nuclear dating methods
* Methods for the production of radionuclides
* The use of tracers and nuclear methods of analysis
* The origin of the chemical elements
* The biological effects of radiation

It could be said that although many of the areas addressed are redressed in other relevant texts of its kind, it still provides a useful addition to any serious scientist within the field of radiochemistry.

Good Textbook!.......2000-07-25

Radiochemistry and Nuclear Methods of Analysis is a book based on lectures on that subject. It has been written in a way that is understandable and easy to follow by the Chemistry or Physics student but also by the reader who has never been exposed to this subject before. It is well organized providing the reader information of the discovery of radioactivity and the contributions in this field, the concepts, the applications and the instrumentation used. The text is clear and concise. The text also provide additional reference for the reader who wants to continue reading more about a particular topic given that this book is a survey of the applications of radiochemistry. The tables, illustrations, graphs are easy to follow and the equations are well explained. This book is recommended for those who are interested in this area of Chemistr that usually is briefly mentioned during a General Chemistry course.

Book Description

An overview of the state of the art in density functional theory is presented. Not only the recent theoretical developments but also the achievements in calculating mechanical and electronic properties of molecules, polymers, and solids are described. Recent developments related to the construction of exchange-correlation functionals used in density functional theory for ground and excited states are presented. Applications to materials modeling in general as well as to nanotubes, quantum dots, and artificial molecules are incorporated. Topics such as optical excitations, critical temperatures of superconductors, and state-of-the-art Monte Carlo calculations are also discussed.

Book Description

The topics in this volume include the ideas of mathematicians, physicists and chemists in the area of multiparticle scattering theory. Scattering theory (or collision theory as it is often called) is a fundamental area of theory and computation in both physics and chemistry. The correct formulation of scattering theory for two-body collisions is now well worked out, but systems with three or more particles still present fundamental unmet challenges, both in the formulations of the problem and in the interpretation of computational results. A key issue in the mathematical foundations is asymptotic completeness, which says that any state of a quantum system is a superposition of bound and scattering states. Key issues on the physical side are concerned with boundary conditions, electromagnetic fields, effective potentials and resonances.
