About this book

This comprehensive resource emphasizes the highly diverse and crucial role of carbohydrates as antiinflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, anticonvulsant, antibiotic, and antiviral agents - covering chemical properties, biological functions, state-of-the-art methodologies for synthesizing model compounds, conformational and steric effects, synthetic and enzymatic approaches, and the discovery and development of new leads in emerging fields. Furnished with over 2350 references, tables, equations, and figures, this stimulating and readily accessible volume is essential for organic, medicinal, carbohydrate, and pharmaceutical chemists; biochemists; pharmacologists; glycobiologists; cancer researchers; and graduate-level students in these disciplines.

Organic electronics

Hagen Klauk

Edited and written by the leading researchers and engineers from such companies as Philips, 3M, Xerox, Infineon, PlasticLogic, Eastman Kodak, Dupont, AIXTRON, and Hueck Folien, this book presents unrivalled and undiluted expertise from those who know best how to assess the risks, opportunities and where this technology is really heading. As such, this practical approach complements the more scientific and fundamentals-oriented literature on the market by providing readers with a first-hand insight into industrial activities to commercialize organic electronics. Following an introduction to the.

Stochastic Processes in Polymeric Fluids

Hans Christian Öttinger

This book consists of two strongly interweaved parts: the mathematical theory of stochastic processes and its applications to molecular theories of polymeric fluids. The comprehensive mathematical background provided in the first part should be equally useful in many other branches of engineering and the natural sciences. As a benefit from the second part one gains a more direct understanding of polymer dynamics, one can more easily identify exactly solvable models, and one can develop efficient computer simulation algorithms in a straightforward manner. In view of the many examples and exercises, on the one hand, and the numerous applications to problems from the front line of science, on the other hand, this volume may be used equally well as a basic textbook or as an up-to-date reference book.
