Investigation of Reactions Involving Pentacoordinate IntermediatesThe Mechanism of the Wittig Reaction

In this thesis, the author outlines the discovery of an effect common to representative examples of all Li salt-free Wittig Reactions. The implications of such a universally applicable effect are that all such Wittig reactions occur through the same mechanism. Although the Wittig reaction was first discovered in 1953, its reaction mechanism has never been definitively settled with many different variants proposed and disproved. The work in this thesis shows conclusively that for [2+2] cycload-ditions all Wittig reactions occur by the same ir-reversible mechanism. In addition, the author also describes a new chromatography-free method for the removal of phosphine oxide from the alkene crude product of the Wittig reaction.

Features 7 Nominated by University College Dublin as an outstanding PhD thesis 7 Describes the first example of an effect common to examples of all Li salt-free Wittig reactions 7 Outlines the devel-opment of a new chromatography-free method for the removal of phosphine oxide from the alkene crude product of the Wittig reaction

Conventional Three-Phase Fixed-Bed TechnologiesAnalysis and Critique

This book analyzes conventional fixed-bed reac-tors such as trickle-bed, bubble (packed) column, and multitubular reactors with regard to process efficiency, design and safety. It is shown that these reactors do not possess any substantial potential for improving industrial processes. Modern con-cepts in mass transfer, kinetics and process design are applied to process development.

Features 7 Reviews the Two-Zone Model 7 Alerts plant designers and others to the lack of potential for process enhancement in the framework of the traditional technological paradigms 7 Presents oscillation Theory 7 Formulates concisely the energy dissipation concept (energy consumption map) 7 Explains in fullest form two multiphase fixed-bed technologies

Contents Introduction.- Technological reasons for the selection of fixed-bed reactors.- Traditional approaches to the design of fixed-bed reactors.- Process flow diagram and principal embodiments of the conventional industrial units.- Analysis of conventional industrial processes.- Purification processes.- Do the conventional fixed-bed reactors possess any potential for the process intensifica-tion?.- Unsteady-state operation (feed modula-tions) as an attempt to intensify processes: Can it be applied on a great scale?.- Alternative industrial fixed-bed technologies.- Conclusions and perspec-tives.

Molecular Aspects of Iron Metabolism in Pathogenic and Symbiotic Plant-Microbe AssociationsIron plays a key role in biology as essential cofac-tor of numerous proteins. However, since it is only slightly soluble its bioavailability can be readily compromised under aerobic conditions. Moreover, due to its ability to catalyze the generation of free radicals, iron can also be toxic. Thus, it doesn’t surprise that living organisms have developed so-phisticated means for acquiring iron whilst tightly controlling the intracellular concentrations of this metal in response to environmental conditions.

Features 7 Reviews the different aspects of the biol-ogy of iron in plant pathogenic and symbiotic interactions 7 Opens perspectives to further understanding the effects of iron in plant-microbe interactions 7 Aimed at microbiologists, pathologists and scientists interested in iron uptake and metabolism in microbial pathogenesis, rhizobia legume associations, and plant physiology and immunity.

Medical Devices and Biomaterials for the Developing WorldCase Studies in Ghana and Nicaragua

This book focuses on the adoption of medical technology in the developing world, and the role that can be played by new biomaterials. These authors urge that advanced technology be aligned with the needs of developing and emerging mar-kets, and an alternative definition of technology be embraced. This “new technology” considers natural sources of materials and tools for treat-ment and is not restricted to the usual traditional computerized or electronic technology. This book explores the difficulties that accompany success-ful transfer of technologies between disparate settings. The book then leaves the world of traditional technology and focuses on biomateri-als, which represent an enormous opportunity for developing societies to become active participants in the development of new technologies.

Features 7 First book to bridge biomaterials science and public health 7 Discusses the distinct advantages of naturally-derived materials for the developing world

Contents Introduction.- Case study of Ghana.- Case study of Nicaragua.- Corn and soy-derived materi-als: Properties and potential clinical applica-tions.- Feasibility study of corn- and soy-derived materials.- Discussion, recommendations, and conclusion.

Novel Synthetic Chemistry of Ureas and AmidesIn this thesis, the author investigates the chemis-try and application of molecules containing urea and amide bonds. These bonds are some of the strongest known and are fundamental to biologi-cal processes. The author describes his discovery that sterically hindered ureas undergo solvolysis at room temperature under neutral conditions. This is a remarkable finding, since ureas are inert under these conditions and a general rule of chemistry is that hindered substrates are less reactive. Remark-ably, the author translates these results to the correspondingly sterically hindered amides. This thesis has resulted in a number of outstanding publications in high profile journals. The unique method for breaking urea and amide bonds de-veloped in this study is likely to have far reaching consequences for biological protein manipulation.

Statistics in Food Science and NutritionMany statistical innovations are linked to applica-tions in food science. For example, the student t-test (a statistical method) was developed to monitor the quality of stout at the Guinness Brewery and multivariate statistical methods are applied widely in the spectroscopic analysis of foods. Nevertheless, statistical methods are most often associated with engineering, mathematics, and the medical sciences, and are rarely thought to be driven by food science. Consequently, there is a dearth of statistical methods aimed specifically at food science, forcing researchers to utilize meth-ods intended for other disciplines. The objective of this Brief will be to highlight the most needed and relevant statistical methods in food science and thus eliminate the need to learn about these methods from other fields. All methods and their applications will be illustrated with examples from research literature.

The Chemistry of MycotoxinsThe biological activity of mycotoxins ranges from weak and/or sometimes positive effects, such as antibacterial activity (see penicillin derivatives derived from Penicillium strains) to strong muta-genic (e. g. aflatoxins, patulin), carcinogenic (e. g. aflatoxins), teratogenic, neurotoxic (e. g. ochra-toxins), nephrotoxic (e. g. fumonisins, citrinin), hepatotoxic, and immunotoxic (e. g. ochratoxins, diketopiperazines) activity. Nowadays, many laboratories around the world are specialized in the detection of mycotoxins in food products and contaminated material found in housing. In this volume, a focus on the most important classes of mycotoxins is provided and their chemistry of the last ten years is discussed. In each Section, the individual biological impact is outlined. Sections are arranged according to mycotoxin classes (e. g. aflatoxins) and/or structural classes (e. g. resor-cinyl lactones, diketopiperazines). The biology of mycotoxins is also described.

Astrochemistry and AstrobiologyAstrochemistry and Astrobiology is the debut volume in the new series Physical Chemistry in Action. Aimed at both the novice and experienced researcher, this volume outlines the physico-chemical principles which underpin our attempts to understand astrochemistry and predict astrobi-ology. An introductory chapter includes funda-mental aspects of physical chemistry required for understanding the field. Eight further chapters address specific topics, encompassing basic theory and models, up-to-date research and an outlook on future work. The last chapter examines each of the topics again but addressed from a differ-ent angle. Written and edited by international experts, this text is accessible for those entering the field of astrochemistry and astrobiology, while it still remains interesting for more experienced researchers.
