Regulatory compliance officers, public health officials and scientists will find that 'The Biological and Environmental Chemistry of Chromium' offers a comprehensive treatment of the benefits and hazards associated with chromium and its compounds. Drawn from earlier works and current research, this volume offers extensive descriptions of the environmental chemistry associated with exposure to chromium in air, water, and food and the biochemistry of chromium involved with its absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination as well as the toxicology and nutritional aspects of chromium chemistry. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of chemical speciation and effects like absorption, transportation, distribution, elimination and toxicity of chromium. Organized and indexed as a reference work on the nutritional benefits and the toxicological consequences of exposure to chromium and its compounds, food scientists, regulators clinical and environmental scientists and everyone involved with chromium and its compounds will find this up-to-date volume invaluable.

Nine chapters by leading researchers from a variety of disciplines examine the structure/activity of enzymes that depend on their surrounding, including other proteins, cofactors, substrates, the reaction medium, and even themselves. The modern techniques discussed, both experimental and calculational, range from the systematic use of crystal structures to the mathematics of fractals to the design of antibodies that behave as enzymes.

A thorough introduction to organic photochemistry through the means of formulas, reaction schemes, diagrams, definitions, graphs and tables. Easy-to-understand, the reader will be able to follow each self-explanatory figure without any other assistance. The corresponding text supplements the figures when additional explanations are needed. It will be of immense value to upper level undergraduates and graduate students and to organic chemists who need to learn the rudiments of organic photochemistry.

This collection of ten articles by leading authorities makes accessible to the nonspecialist some of the newest concepts in chemistry. The contributors apply the isoelectronic principle to - fundamental rules for predicting molecular structure, - the properties of novel inorganic compounds, - the chemistry of positrons and other 'elementary' particles, - the energetics of 'inert' gas containing species, - the design of conducting polymers and electronic devices on a molecular scale. The book includes insights as diverse as the theoretical underpinning of the Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion (VSEPR) theory, the design of viable helium compounds and organic conductors, and the prediction of enthalpies of the formation of inorganic salts.

A comprehensive review of advances in one of today's most technologically important research fields. Spurred on by society's increasingly urgent demand for an inexpensive, environment-friendly alternative to the internal combustion engine, research into electrocatalytic fuel cells has yielded many exciting advances in the past few years. This rapid rate of progress, however, has created a daunting challenge for anyone attempting to track the important new trends in electrocatalysis by sorting through the huge and rapidly growing body of world literature in the field. Electrocatalysis was designed to save scientists hours of arduous legwork by providing an authoritative review of the most important recent advances in all technologically relevant aspects of electrocatalysis. Leading researchers from North America, Europe, and the Far East share what they know about an array of related topics, including: * Electrocatalysis of hydrogen and oxygen electrode reactions * Electrooxidation of small organic molecules * Design and synthesis of new electrocatalytic materials * The distribution and storage of hydrogen in metal hydrides * Hydrogenation of organic compounds as a means of hydrogen storage * Electron, ion, and atom transfer reactions * Influence of the double-layer structure on the rate of charge transfer * A unified theory of electron and ion transfer reactions at metal electrodes. Electrocatalysis is an indispensable working resource for electrochemists, chemical engineers, surface scientists, and materials scientists.

Otl Aicher's writings are explorations of the world, a substantive part of his work. In moving through the history of thought and design, building and construction, he assures us of the possibilities of arranging existence in a humane fashion. As ever he is concerned with the question of the conditions needed to produce a civilised culture. These conditions have to be fought for against apparent factual or material constraints and spiritual and intellectual substitutes on offer.Otl Aicher likes a dispute. For this reason, the volume contains polemical statements on cultural and political subjects as well as practical reports and historical exposition. He fights with productive obstinacy, above all for the renewal of Modernism, which he claims has largely exhausted itself in aesthetic visions; he insists the ordinary working day is still more important than the "cultural Sunday".

Ein in der Öffentlichkeit im In- und Ausland breit diskutierter Fall wissenschaftlichen Fehlverhaltens hat das Präsidium der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft veranlaßt, eine international zusammengesetzte Kommission zu berufen und sie zu bitten,- Ursachen von Unredlichkeit im Wissenschaftssystem nachzugehen- präventive Gegenmaßnahmen zu diskutieren- die existierenden Mechanismen wissenschaftlicher Selbstkontrolle zu überprüfen und Empfehlungen zu ihrer Sicherung zu geben.Die Kommission legt als Ergebnis ihrer Arbeit Empfehlungen vor, die in dieser Broschüre aufgeführt sind. Sie sind mit Begründungen und Kommentaren versehen, die Anregungen für die Umsetzung enthalten. Ihnen folgt ein je kurzer Überblick über die Probleme im Wissenschaftssystem, mit denen die Kommission sich auseinandergesetzt hat, und über Lösungsansätze im Ausland, deren Kenntnis bei der Erarbeitung der Empfehlungen wichtig war.

Metal cluster chemistry is at the cutting edge between molecular and solid-state chemistry and has therefore had a great impact on the researchers working on organic, coordination, and solid-state chemistry, catalysis, physics, and materials science. The development of new sophisticated synthetic techniques has led to enormous progress in the synthesis of this diverse class of compounds. The number of clusters is growing rapidly, since the possible variations in the metal and ligand sphere are numerous. Modern bonding theories, such as the isolobal principle, have allowed a better understanding of the structures and properties of metal clusters, and thus paved the way for the usage of these versatile materials. Catalysis and nanomaterials are just two of the very promising application-oriented fields.   Seventy six contributions, written by world experts in this research field, provide extensive coverage of different aspects of cluster chemistry, ranging from synthesis, structure determination, and dynamics to applications. Up-to-date information, including an impressive collection of structural data and illustrations, extensive coverage of the most important publications of the last decade, and many more features make this three-volume set a complete single-source guide for all researchers working in the area of cluster chemistry.
