Ion Channels and Ion Pumps: Metabolic and Endocrine Relationships in Biology and Clinical Medicine (Endocrinology and Metabolism)
Piero P. Foa Manufacturer: Springer-Verlag Telos ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0387940839 |
Book Description
This monograph assembles an international array of leading clinicians and researchers to present the current body of knowledge on the molecular structure of ion channels and their function, using such techniques as voltage clamping and single channel recording, measurements of gating currents, molecular cloning and other genetic manipulations. The monograph provides the information needed to understand the role that the movement of ions has in the function and malfunction of essentially all organ systems. This monograph will impress upon the reader the multiple and interdependent responses of ion channels to physiologic stimuli, pharmacologic agonists and agents of disease and their multiple interdependent roles in diverse physiologic processes, including the regulation of electrolyte and water balance and arterial pressure, in the maintenance of endocrine and metabolic homeostasis, in the control of neuromuscular responses, in the action of anesthetic drugs, in the pathogenesis of the recently described Syndrome X (obesity, hypertension, and diabetes), and in their antibacterial effectiveness. This volume is for all clinicians and researchers interested in the far reaching effects of the various, diverse roles of ion channels, their intricate structure, and their complex functions.

The Art of Metal Clay: Techniques for Creating Jewelry and Decorative Objects
Sherri Haab Manufacturer: Watson-Guptill ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0823003671 |
Book Description
Developed in Japan in the early 1990s, metal clay represents a dramatic development in the handling of precious metals for jewelrymaking. Metal clay consists of microscopic particles of silver or gold suspended in a pliable organic binder that can be worked with the hands and simple household tools, eliminating the need for difficult metalworking processes such as soldering, hammering, and cutting. When metal clay is fired, the binder burns away and the metal particles fuse into pure (99.9 percent) metal. The Art of Metal Clay is a comprehensive introduction to the medium designed specifically for crafters and jewelrymakers, detailing the essentials of working, firing, and finishing metal clay to create beautiful jewelry and decorative objects. Artist and instructor Sherri Haab demonstrates metal clay's remarkable versatility, showing how it can be textured, molded, carved, and sculpted to create gorgeous beads, bracelets, pendants, earrings, rings, and other jewelry settings, plus boxes and vessels. She also reveals how to combine metal clay with polymer clay, glass, and epoxy resin to create unique mixed-media pieces. An essential resource for anyone who wants the latest information on this up-and-coming crafts medium!Customer Reviews:

Handbook of Clay Science, Volume 1 (Developments in Clay Science)
Manufacturer: Elsevier Science ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0080441831 |
Book Description
The first general texts on clay mineralogy and the practical applications of clay, written by R.E. Grim, were published some 40-50 years ago. Since then, a vast literature has accumulated but this information is scattered and not always accessible.
The
In providing a critical and up-to-date assessment of the accumulated information, this will serve as the first point of entry into the literature for both newcomers and graduate students, while for research scientists, university teachers, industrial chemists, and environmental engineers the book will become a standard reference text.
* Presents contributions from 66 authors from 18 different countries who have come together to produce the most comprehensive modern handbook on clay science
* Provides up-to-date concepts, properties, and reactivity of clays and clay minerals in a one-stop source of information
* Covers classical and new environmental, industrial, and health applications of clays, as well as the instrumental techniques for clay mineral analysis
* Combines geology, mineralogy, crystallography with physics, geotechnology, and soil mechanics together with inorganic, organic, physical, and colloid chemistry for a truly multidisciplinary approach

Clays
Alain Meunier Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 3540216677 |
Book Description
This monograph presents the fundamentals of the mineralogy and geology of clays. The chemical or isotopic composition and the crystalline structure of clays is based on some relatively simple laws. Abundant illustrations help to understand the subject and can be used in courses. The organization of the book follows a logical structure. From the representation of the structure of minerals, the determination of their crystalline state by using X-ray diffractometer measurements (and other techniques) the thermodynamic and kinematic conditions of their formation is reconstructed. Then the genesis and alteration of the clays at their natural occurrences is discussed. In the last chapter it is stressed that clay minerals can form in variety of different environments: meteorites, lavas, subduction zones for example. The book is aimed for graduate students and scientists (geologists, geographers, engineers, environmental and soil scientists) who want to get a comprehensive introduction in the topic.

ASIN: 0195087135 |
Book Description
This successful text/reference, now in a new edition, explores the applications and limitations of data produced by the interaction of X-rays with clay minerals. This edition pays particular attention to integrating the mineralogy of soils and features a new chapter on disorder and polytypes. Chapter Four, from the first edition, has been expanded and split into two chapters, "Structure and Properties: General Treatment" and "Structure, Nonmenclature, and Occurrences of Clay Minerals." Essential in agriculture, geology, and in making informed engineering decisions, this text offers the necessary information on the properties of these minerals, combining theoretical discussion with recipe-like directions for laboratory procedures. Ideal for students who have completed introductory geology, chemistry, and mineralogy courses, this text can also be used as a reference for researchers and workers in industry.
