Selection of Textbooks

These criteria show that we took care to select textbooks that are important for the science education community not only in the U.S.A., but also worldwide. Consultations with colleagues revealed that they studied not only the textbooks that have multiple editions (see examples above, especially Table 4) but also consulted other textbooks found in the library in order to find new perspectives and

This is a future feature. At the time of this printing, only one book is available on the PubMed Web site. PubMed is working with book publishers to be able to offer a larger selection of textbooks for the user to search online. 

In this section only a breviary of the theory of UV-VIS spectroscopy will be given. For more detailed information the reader is referred to a selection of textbooks, e.g.,[l-7]. 

Bioinformatics is a relatively new discipline that is concerned with the collection, organisatic and analysis of biological data. It is beyond our scope to provide a comprehensive overvie of this discipline a few textbooks and reviews that serve this purpose are now available (s the suggestions for further reading). However, we will discuss some of the main rnethoc that are particularly useful when trying to predict the three-dimensional structure and fum tion of a protein. To help with this. Appendix 10.1 contains a limited selection of some of tf common abbreviations and acronyms used in bioinformatics and Appendix 10.2 lists sorr of the most widely used databases and other resources. 

If the designer is to do the job properly, it is important to have accurate data on which to base calculations. That is why test borings and proper laboratory analysis to determine the E value of the soil sample are essential. An arbitrary textbook selection of a soil modulus should always be avoided. However, if a pipe is to be buried deeper than the sampling zone that underwent laboratory testing to determine E and if the test bore shows the deeper material to be equal or better, then the designer may increase the E value proportionally to the square root of the differential soil stress. 

The selection of pumps for liquids is discussed in Chapter 5. Descriptions of most of the types of pumps used in the chemical process industries are given in Volume 1, Chapter 8. Several textbooks and handbooks have also been published on this subject Garay (1997), Karassik (2001) and Parmley (2000). 

Fig. 3.2c shows a selection of the commercially available bonded phases. There are comprehensive lists of these in the two textbooks mentioned earlier. 

Questions 58-63 refer to diseases. In addition to using formularies such as the BNF, in this case, you may need to refer to other textbooks such as Minor Illness or Major Disease see Bibliography) to answer these types of questions. In tackling Q61, the emphasis that the textbook places on detection combing for head lice signifies that this is the diagnostic process. This indicates how important it is that an authoritative book is used in an examination when you are allowed a choice of textbooks. The use of such books will help you find the correct answer, even when the answer is not specifically stated as such but needs to be inferred. The textbook selected for use in open-book MCQs should have an extensive index for quick reference. 

Homogeneous Catalysis, S. Bhaduri and D. Mukesh, Wiley-Interscience 2000, 239 pp., ISBN 0-471-37221-8. This introductory textbook emphasizes the practical side, with a chapter dedicated to chemical engineering basics and process unit operations. The authors cover several examples of industrial homogeneous catalysis processes. Although the book is aimed at graduate students, it contains relatively few references to the primary literature. Each chapter is accompanied by a good selection of review questions and problems. 

We cannot compete with large textbooks but here is a brief selection of simple protecting groups. 

Comprehensive monographs are also available detailing the analysis of mass transfer though porous and dense membranes. Standard textbooks [e.g., Refs. 26, 27] provide the basis for discriminating between various possible transport mechanisms and the selection of models capable of describing the processes in quantitatively. 

Additional aggravating circumstances arise from the fact that chemical steps which are transfer limited will proceed differently in the industrial plant than on laboratory-scale. The selectivity of multiple reactions such as competing consecutive and parallel reactions depend very much on the extent of micro-mixing in the system. These facts are well known from Chemical Reaction Engineering textbooks. Conversely, these reactions are carried out to obtain details about the extent of micro- and macro-mixing in stirring. 

The main theme of the book is the molecular approach to industrial catalysis. The integrated way in which the subject matter has been treated involves many disciplines as a consequence, the writing of the book has been entrusted to a number of authors. The editors envisaged a careful planning and harmonization of the contents of the chapters. The latter is important, because a rigorous selection of subject matter is necessary in order to keep the size of the book within the limits of a practicable textbook. 

The hterature concerning reactions between nucleophiles and fluoroaUcenes is now extensive and is included in various reviews [41, 55, 57, 85-92] and books devoted to organofluorine chemistry (see the relevant chapters in the general textbooks listed in Chapter 1, Section 1). Some examples of reactions between fluoroalkenes and an illustrative selection of nucleophiles are recorded in Table 7.6. The many unusual products and the wide scope of these reactions will be apparent even from such a brief overview of the subject. Examples of reactions involving bifunctional nucleophiles are also included, whereas reactions involving initial attack by fluoride ion as the nucleophile are discussed in Subsection 6, below. 

The design of wood tanks is based more on experience and craftsmanship than on mathematical calculation and textbook theory. The selection of the wood and metal components for the structure should be made by experienced wood tank manufacturers. 

The aim of this chapter is to provide a brief background to Mossbauer spectroscopy within the context of phase transformations. The relevant parameters are summarised and the effect of temperature and pressure are discussed, particularly with reference to identifying phase transformations and characterising the electronic and structural environment of the Mossbauer nuclei. Instrumentation is summarised, particularly as it relates to in situ measurements of phase transformations, and a brief survey of applications is given. The appendix includes a worked example that illustrates the methodology of investigating a phase transformation using in situ Mossbauer spectroscopy. Numerous textbooks and review chapters have been written on Mossbauer spectroscopy, and a selection of the most relevant ones as well as some useful resources are listed in Table 1.
