Laboratory Experiments for Introduction to General, Organic and Biochemistry
by Frederick Bettelheim and Joseph Landesburg
The 48 experiments in this well-conceived manual illustrate important concepts and principles in general, organic, and biochemistry. As in previous editions, three basic goals guided the development of all the experiments: (1) the experiments illustrate the concepts learned in the classroom; (2) the experiments are clearly and concisely written so that readers will easily understand the task at hand, will work with minimal supervision because the manual provides enough information on experimenta...
Nitrogen, Oxygen and Sulfur Ylide Chemistry (Practical Approach in Chemistry)
This volume describes some of the more general and important methods for the generation of oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur ylides, and the use of these reactive intermediates for the synthesis of complex organic compounds. It includes complete practical details required to perform such reactions, and is suitable for those with no previous experience of ylide chemistry. Few recent texts have focused upon this rapidly expanding area of organic synthesis, and none provide the wealth of practical advic...
Mutation Detection (Practical Approach, #188)
Mutation detection is increasingly undertaken in a wide spectrum of research areas: in medicine it is fundamental in isolating disease genes and diagnbosis, and is especially important in cancer research; in biology, commercially important genes can be identified by the mutations they contain. But mutation detection is time-consuming and expensive. This volume offers the latest tried and tested protocols for a range of detection methods, from the labs of the leading researchers in the field.
Finally - a guide to cytological techniques written specifically for the plant chromosome researcher and student. Plant Chromosomes: Laboratory Methods thoroughly covers all important approaches to the study of plant chromosomes. It reviews each specific approach and describes requisite experimental techniques. These practical descriptions cover basic, standard techniques as well as the most recent research advances and state-of-the-art technologies. Plant Chromosomes: Laboratory Methods allows...
Molecular Cytogenetics (Methods in Molecular Biology, #204)
The new techniques of molecular cytogenetics, mainly fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) of DNA probes to metaphase chromosomes or interphase nuclei, have been developed in the past two decades. Many FISH techniques have been implemented for diagnostic services, whereas some others are mainly used for investigational purposes. Several hundreds of FISH probes and hybridization kits are now commercially available, and the list is growing rapidly. FISH has been widely used as a powerful diagn...
Market: Graduate students in condensed matter and atomic and molecular physics.

Investigating the Earth System: A Laboratory Manual in Applied Physical Geology
by Steven T Loduca
Investigating the Earth System provides a modern approach to teaching undergraduate, introductory-level Earth Science and Physical Geology laboratories with the aim of creating science-savvy citizens capable and willing to make informed decisions about key environmental issues, including where to live. To achieve this end, the manual integrates three novel design elements while still covering traditional topics such as rock and mineral identification, surface and subsurface water resources, and...
The first comprehensive guide to modern laboratory planning in ten years to address both construction and operating aspects. Many of the 30 authors are affiliated with the European Association for Sustainable Laboratory Technologies (EGNATON), which has also endorsed this ready reference. This expert team covers the entire lifecycle of a laboratory facility, starting with the site layout and the planning of the building, followed by the planning of such areas as housing for laboratory animals,...
Investigating Classroom Myths through Research on Teaching and Learning (ACS Symposium, #1074)
This book is meant to be a companion volume for the ACS Symposium Series Book entitled Nuts and Bolts of Chemical Education Research. In the Nuts and Bolts book (edited by Diane M. Bunce and Renee Cole), readers were presented with information on how to conduct quality chemical education research. In the Myth book, exemplars of chemical education research are featured. In the cases where the chapter in the book is describing research that has already been published (typically in the Journal of C...
Tools of Chemistry Education Research (ACS Symposium)
Tools of Chemistry Education Research meets the current need for information on more in-depth resources for those interested in doing chemistry education research. Renowned chemists Diane M. Bunce and Renée S. Cole present this volume as a continuation of the dialogue started in their previous work, Nuts and Bolts of Chemical Education Research. With both volumes, new and experienced researchers will now have a place to start as they consider new research projects in chemistry education. Tools o...
Preparative Centrifugation (A Practical Approach, #113)
While the theoretical basis of centrifugal separation remains the same, recent years have seen dramatic changes in both the design of centrifuges and the range of people that use them. This study is designed to reflect these changes by providing detailed protocols covering all types of separation, from DNA to cells. Guidelines are also given to help researchers devise new types of separation protocols. The book includes program source codes for calculation and simulation programs that are benefi...
This new book will guide both the experimentalist and theoretician through their compulsory laboratory courses forming part of an undergraduate physics degree.
