Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology

Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology

The success of laboratory experiments relies heavily on the technical ability of the bench scientist with the aid of tricks-of-the-trade to generate consistent and reliable data. Regrettably however these invaluable tricks-of-the-trade are frequently omitted from scientific publications. This paucity of practical information relating to the conduct of laboratory bacteriology experiments creates a gaping void in the pertinent literature. Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology fills this void. It provides detailed technical information that ensures that you achieve consistent and reliable data. The book addresses the aspects of bacterial fractionation and membrane characterization the analysis of Lipopolysaccharides and the techniques of SDS-PAGE immunoblotting and ELISA. It also describes the methods used for detecting and quantifying bacterial resistance to antibiotics and the analysis of bacterial chromosomes by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). Methods in Practical Laboratory Bacteriology also covers protocols for extracting the fingerprinting plasmids as well as the use of non-radio labeled gene probes and ribosomal RNA gene probes.

Ceramic Processing

Ceramic Processing

Many of the properties critical to the engineering applications of ceramics are strongly dependent on their microstructure which in turn is dependent on the processing methods used to produce the ceramic material. Ceramic Processing Second Edition provides a comprehensive treatment of the principles and practical methods used in producing ceramics with controlled microstructure. Covering the main steps in the production of ceramics from powders the book also provides succinct coverage of other methods for fabricating ceramics such as sol−gel processing reaction bonding chemical vapor deposition and polymer pyrolysis. While maintaining the objectives of the successful first edition this new edition has been revised and updated to include recent developments and expanded to feature new chapters on additives used in ceramic processing; rheological properties of suspensions slurries and pastes; granulation mixing and packing of particles; and sintering theory and principles. Intended as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses in ceramic processing the book also provides an indispensable resource for research and development engineers in industry who are involved in the production of ceramics or who would like to develop a background in the processing of ceramics.

Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications

Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications

Hydroxyapatite coatings are of great importance in the biological and biomedical coatings fields especially in the current era of nanotechnology and bioapplications. With a bonelike structure that promotes osseointegration hydroxyapatite coating can be applied to otherwise bioinactive implants to make their surface bioactive thus achieving faster healing and recovery. In addition to applications in orthopedic and dental implants this coating can also be used in drug delivery. Hydroxyapatite Coatings for Biomedical Applications explores developments in the processing and property characterization and applications of hydroxyapatite to provide timely information for active researchers and newcomers alike. In eight carefully reviewed chapters hydroxyapatite experts from the United States Japan Singapore and China present the latest on topics ranging from deposition processes to biomedical applications in implants and drug delivery. This book discusses: Magnetron sputtering and electrochemical deposition The modification of hydroxyapatite properties by sol–gel deposition to incorporate other elements found in natural bones such as zinc magnesium and fluorine The use of pure hydroxyapatite in drug delivery applications The growth or self-assembly of hydroxyapatite on shape memory alloy Hydroxyapatite composite coatings—with carbon nanotubes titanium dioxide (TiO2) and others—on the titanium alloy Offering valuable insights and a wealth of data including numerous tables and figures this is a rich source of information for research on hydroxyapatite coatings. Each chapter also covers material that provides an accessible stepping stone for those who are new to the field.

Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences - Two-Vol. Set

Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences - Two-Vol. Set

This textbook provides an accessible introduction to physics for undergraduate students in the life sciences including those majoring in all branches of biology biochemistry and psychology and students working on pre-professional programs such as pre-medical pre-dental and physical therapy. The text is geared for the algebra-based physics course often named College Physics in the United States. The order of topics studied are such that most of the problems in the text can be solved with the methods of Statics or Dynamics. That is they require a free body diagram the application of Newton’s Laws and any necessary kinematics. Constructing the text with a standardized problem-solving methodology simplifies this aspect of the course and allows students to focus on the application of physics to the study of biological systems. Along the way students apply these techniques to find the tension in a tendon the sedimentation rate of red blood cells in haemoglobin the torques and forces on a bacterium employing a flagellum to propel itself through a viscous fluid and the terminal velocity of a protein moving in a Gel Electrophoresis device. This is part one of a two-volume set; volume 2 introduces students to the conserved-quantities and applies these problem-solving techniques to topics in Thermodynamics Electrical Circuits Optics and Atomic and Nuclear Physics always with continued focus on biological applications. Volume 1 Key features: Organised and centred around analysis techniques not traditional Mechanics and E&M. Presents a unified approach in a different order meaning that the same laboratories equipment and demonstrations can be used when teaching the course. Demonstrates to students that the analysis and concepts they are learning are critical to the understanding of biological systems.
