The pathways and networks underlying biological function Now in its second edition, Biochemical Pathways continues to garner praise from students, instructors, and researchers for its clear, full-color illustrations of the pathways and networks that determine biological function. Biochemical Pathways examines the biochemistry of bacteria, plants, and animals. It offers a quick overview of the meta…
Here, all aspects of the topic are presented in a compact manner. The book is clearly structured, and divided into two sections – asymmetric synthesis of heterocycles containing only one nitrogen and that of those with more than one nitrogen as a heteroatom – such that the necessary information may be found at a glance. The international team of authors provides important experimental procedures, …
The cutting edge of research in chemical physics Each volume of the Advances in Chemical Physics series discusses aspects of the state of diverse subjects in chemical physics and related fields, with chapters written by top researchers in the field. Reviews published in Advances in Chemical Physics are typically longer than those published in journals, providing the space needed for readers to ful…
A comprehensive guide to cutting-edge tools in ADME research The last decade has seen tremendous progress in the development of analytical techniques such as mass spectrometry and molecular biology tools, resulting in important advances in drug discovery, particularly in the area of absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME). ADME-Enabling Technologies in Drug Design and Developmen…
Монография посвящена анализу отечественной историографии масштабов массовых политических репрессий в 1937–1938 годах и потерь СССР в период Великой Отечественной войны. Имея разные причины возникновения, эти события привели к невосполнимым людским утратам, гибели миллионов соотечественников, негативным экономическим, социальным, культурным, ментальным последствиям.

Your body is …
Following the much acclaimed success of the first volume of Key Topics in Conservation Biology, this entirely new second volume addresses an innovative array of key topics in contemporary conservation biology. Written by an internationally renowned team of authors, Key Topics in Conservation Biology 2 adds to the still topical foundations laid in the first volume (published in 2007) by exploring a…
This book began life as a series of lectures given to second and third year undergraduates at Oxford University. These lectures were designed to give students insights as to how marine ecosystems functioned, how they were being affected by natural and human interventions, and how we might be able to conserve them and manage them sustainably for the good of people, both recreationally and economica…
This 3rd edition has been expanded and updated to account for recent developments, while new illustrative examples as well as an enlarged reference list have also been added. It naturally retains the successful concept of its predecessors in presenting a unified perspective on molecular charge and energy transfer processes, thus bridging the regimes of coherent and dissipative dynamics, and establ…
The book discusses the theoretical path to decoding the information gathered from observations of old stellar systems. It focuses on old stellar systems because these are the fossil record of galaxy formation and provide invaluable information ont he evolution of cosmic structures and the universe as a whole. The aim is to present results obtained in the past few years for theoretical developments…
This book presents a systematic review on traditional Arab herbal medicine including historical background, medical innovations introduced by Arab physicians, common roots of Arab medicine and western medicine, methodology of drug discovery and therapy in Arabic and Islamic medicine, a state-of-the-art description of traditional Arab herbal medicine, and evidence-based safety and efficacy of Arab …
В книге раскрываются фальсификации истории Великой Отечественной войны (22.06.1941–09.05.1945).

Разоблачаются как зарубежные фальсификаторы времен холодной войны СССР и США с союзниками, так и представители современной отечественной «либеральной школы» исследов…
Социальным миром, в конечном счете, сегодня (в постмодерн-век) действительно правит не инстинкт и не истина, а идеология, – теоретический конструкт, равно приспособленный и под специфику инстинктивной активности живой природы, и под строгую рациональность научной картины мира. Идеология «делает» социальный мир, опосредованно «силой движения социальных масс» превращает его в форму, необходимую для …
This richly illustrated hands-on guide is designed for researchers, teachers and practitioners. The huge selection of examples taken from science, basic teaching of physics, practical applications in industry and a variety of other disciplines spanning the range from medicine to volcano research allows readers to pick those that come closest to their own individual task at hand. Following a look a…
