Resources for Students

We, the volume editors, hope that this book will become a helpful resource for students, as well as for the advanced scientist, by providing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms and future promise of nucleic acid transfection for research and clinical applications. As of today, this exciting field is undoubtedly far from being comprehensively explored, and technological advances will provide even better transfection tools for basic and applied research as well as for the treatment of diseases. 

An updated version of the critically acclaimed Laboratory Handbook, this guide to laboratory materials, equipment, and techniques is an important resource for students as well as veteran scientists and lab technicians. 

The CD that accompanies this edition of the text contains a variety of resources for students and instructors collected under the title Interactive Chemical Process Principles (ICPP). Some of the components of ICPP are instructional aids for the stoichiometry course, and others are computational and reference tools that should prove useful throughout the chemical engineering curriculum. One or more of the ICPP tools can be effectively applied to almost every example and problem in the book. Icons throughout the book remind students and instructors when the tools on the CD may be helpful.

Overall, this book provides a broad overview of both many areas in which ligands hold sway and the means by which they accomplish this. 1 am certain it will serve as a great resource for students and practitioners in the field alike. 

The Dr. Math column is part of the Math Forum (www.mathforum. com), a huge collection of math resources for students and teachers at all skill levels. Software reviews, Internet resources, lesson plans, and forums are grouped by subject area as well as age group. For students, activities include a "problem of the week" challenge and an online math treasure hunt. 

The new biopharmaceuticals that are being developed at present will provide important new opportunities in therapy and diagnosis that cannot be met in any other way. Jorg Knablein has assembled in these four new volumes a unique collection of reports by the world leaders in their fields. They describe the present state of their field and the requirement for further research. Modern BiopharmaceuticaU will be an important resource for students and researchers alike. ... 

New to Lite Third Edition is an enhanced emphasis on soil solution chemistry and expanded coverage of phosphate chemistry and the chemical principles of the aqueous phase. At the same time, the book has retained the dear examination of the lundarnenmls of the science of soil that has distinguished earlier editions. Complete with SI units and end-of-chapter study questions, Soil Chemistry is an excellent introductory resource for students studying this crucial topic. 

Most of the volumes in The Enzymes treatise present in-depth coverage of a selected area of enzymology. However, two decades ago. Volumes I and II of the Third Edition of this work covered the general properties of enzymes and enzymic catalysis. Although these earlier volumes were well received and served as a useful resource for students and scholars who needed a perspective of the field, much progress has ensued and an up-to-date survey of the status of the field is needed. 

Math Survival Guide Ups and Tricks for Science Students, 2nd Edition, by Jeffrey R. Appling and Jean C. Richardson, a brief paperback summary of basic skills that can be packaged with the text, provides an excellent resource for students who need help with the mathematical aspects of chemistry. 

Different learning styles, different levels of proficiency, different levels of preparation— each of your students is unique. WileyPLUS offers a myriad of rich multimedia resources for students to facilitate learning. These include ... 

Levy, M. 2002. Why Buildings Fall Down How Structures Fail. New York W. W. Norton. An important resource for students, this book discusses sources of building failure. 

International Journal of Nanotechnology (UNT), Geneva, Switzerland Inderscience Publishers. (ISSN (Online) 1741-8151 ISSN (Print) 1475-7435). The UNT intends to provide a major reference source of comprehensive fundamental and applied knowledge in aU areas of nanotechnology for researchers and scientists as well as an educational resource for students, teachers, and educators by means of reviews from experts in all fields. 

Microfluidics (MF) is a relatively new area of science and technology that offers new research opportunities in synthetic chemistry, including polymerization reactions. This chapter is a useful resource for students, researchers, and industrial scientists who wish to gain insight into practical aspects of polymerization in MF reactors and into new and emerging developments in this field. The chapter reviews (i) practical considerations related to MF polymer synthesis and its benefits over bulk synthesis of polymer products, (ii) important considerations in the utilization of MF for single- and multiphase polymer synthesis, (in) examples of important applications of polymer synthesis in microchannels, and (iv) future trends in MF development that will expand the range of applications of on[Pg.213]

Medical Textile Materials is an excellent resource for students in textile engineering, nonwoven engineering, light chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, and polymeric materials. It will also be a useful source of reference for academic researchers and professionals in the textiles industry, and those engaged in developing biomedical products.
