Book Description

Calcium Phosphates in Biological and Industrial Systems provides a comprehensive discussion on calcium phosphates in the diverse areas of their applications. The authors are all respected specialists in their particular fields, possessing wide knowledge and experience and able to analyze recent results and relate them to their respective areas of expertise. New information, as well as a review of current concepts, highlights the individual contributions. Due to the broad scope of the subject covered and the large number of contributions, this book is divided into three parts. Whilst each section contains a basic theme, there is a considerable overlapping of ideas and approaches. This reflects the excitement and interdisciplinary nature of investigations by researchers interested in dissimilar aspects of calcium phosphates. Considering the general interest in calcium phosphates, Calcium Phosphates in Biological and Industrial Systems is directed at an audience of researchers in the fields of biology, chemistry, dentistry, geology, chemical engineering, environmental engineering, and medicine. It will also be useful to technology-focused researchers in industry whose investigations might be related directly or indirectly to calcium phosphates.

Book Description

Featuring contributions from 29 internationally recognized experts, this book offers a timely, authoritative look at ionic complexes in medicine. Metal ions are currently used in medications for treating many ailments including diabetes, general inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, psychiatric disorders, and ulcers. These medications employ compounds of vanadium, copper and zinc, gold, lithium, and bismuth, respectively. This text explores these medical uses, as well as the use of metal ions in environmental sciences. It also looks at chelation therapy and impacts on human health from deficiencies of magnesium, calcium, zinc, and iron.

Book Description

Here is the first book to provide a complete natural history of the elements. This interdisciplinary guide will give the reader a broad, non-technical view of the origin of the elements, the factors controlling their abundances, and their distributions in the Earth, solar system, and
universe. This unique volume is based on a series of lectures given for freshman chemistry students and will be of equal value to both undergraduates and professors in all physical sciences. It includes a broad introduction to the range of existing elements and information on their nuclear and
chemical properties, as well as coverage of radioactive elements, the condensation of the elements, the elements of life and the oceans. Valuable appendix materials include coverage of elemental abundances and isotopic composition, while suggestions for further reading are provided at the end of
each chapter.

Book Description

The field of chemical abundances and internal mixing of elements in stars has made large progress in the last decade. Both a wealth of new observational data and in the last years also the inauguration of new theoretical roads have been the stimulus for this ESO Workshop held in Castiglione della Pescaia, Italy, 13-17 September 2004.

The proceedings cover topics from chemical abundances in the different components of the Milky Way and in local group galaxies, via observational and theoretical papers on mixing in stars to big bang nucleosynthesis and galaxy formation and evolution.

As all volumes in this series of ESO Astrophysics Symposia this one gives a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview of the forefront of research in its area. It is thus a valuable reference for both students specializing in the field and researchers alike.

Book Description

Linear nonautonomous equations arise as mathematical models in mechanics, chemistry, and biology. The investigation of bounded solutions to systems of differential equations involves some important and challenging problems of perturbation theory for invariant toroidal manifolds. This monograph is a detailed study of the application of Lyapunov functions with variable sign, expressed in quadratic forms, to the solution of this problem. The authors explore the preservation of invariant tori of dynamic systems under perturbation. This volume is a classic contribution to the literature on stability theory and provides a useful source of reference for postgraduates and researchers.

Book Description

In a tale of ancient evil, Bram Stoker creates a world of lurking horrors and bizarre denizens: a demented mesmerist, hellbent on mentally crushing the girl he loves; a gigantic kite raised to rid the land of an unnatural infestation of birds, and which receives strange commands along its string; and all the while, the great white worm slithers below, seeking its next victim...

Bram Stoker, creator of Dracula, is one of the most enduring and masterful influences on the literature of terror.

Bram Stoker, but not at his best.......2007-10-06

Adam Salton, born and raised in Australia, is contacted by his granduncle in England, for the purpose of establishing a relationship between these last two members of the family. Adam travels to Richard Salton's house in Mercia, and quickly finds himself in the center of some inexplicable occurrences.

The new heir to the Caswall estate, Edgar Caswall appears to be making some sort of a mesmeric assault on a local girl. And, a local lady, Arabella March, seems to be running a game of her own, perhaps angling to become Mrs. Caswall. There is something strange about Lady March, something inexplicable and evil.

This book has elements that should make it a gripping story. Unfortunately, the tendency of the characters to move on, after a fantastic event, as if nothing unusual had happened gives the story a disjointed, surreal feel. This story just does not come together, but rambles along to its uninspiring conclusion. I do not recommend this book.

Free SF Reader.......2007-09-03

A shorter novel. An english uncle calls on an aussie nephew to come and help him out. Strange things are happening, you have a possibly evil hypnotist and the very likely sinister Lady March.

This is all pretty minor compared to the big-arse snake monster or intrepid traveller finds in a cave.

As it turns out, there is not much chance that Lady Arabella March is what she seems.

Not the most essential.......2002-01-29

As you can no doubt tell from the title, this book contains three of Bram Stoker's works. Personally, I do not think these are three of his best.

Without doubt, the collection would not make sense without "Dracula." It is simply the text and has no notes for the reader. The good thing is that it does have plenty of room on the margins for making notes for your use.

In the late eighties and early nineties, it was hard to get a copy of "The Lair of the White Worm." You can know find it in paperback. After reading it, you will see that it is not exactly like the abysmal movie with Hugh Grant.

Although the movie hinted at vampirism, there is no hint of vampirism here which raises the question, "Why include it in a Dracula Omnibus?" This story brings a sentient monster that has been alive beneath England, a voodoo master, and a mesmerist. Not too bad a combination, but it has the feel of two stories fighting each other. Also, we witness the power of Mimi, but never really get to read much about her.

The final selection, "Dracula's Guest," was published posthumously. I don't recall seeing it in paperback by itself, although there is a hardcover edition available. "Dracula's Guest" is typically part of another selection. This is not a novel, but a collection of stories.
