        Book Description

        It is difficult, if not impossible, to visualize pharmaceutical industry processes without appropriate analytical control, of which chromatographic and, more recently, capillary electromigration techniques constitute a considerable proportion. Problems such as deciding which separation technique will be the best, whether a chromatographic or an electrokinetically driven method is preferred, calibration procedures and method validation, identification of impurities by on-line hyphenation with techniques based on physicochemical principles other than chromatography and electrophoresis and assaying of basic physicochemical properties are all to be solved by the analytical chemist. Unintended errors can occur quite frequently.

        This volume covers all the above outlined areas, emphasizing those which the authors know from pharmaceutical research to cause problems in practice. The basic guidelines have been summarized along with the necessary theoretical background to help analysts select and apply modern chromatographic and electrokinetic methods of analysis in drug production and quality control and help them solve their particular problems.

          Book Description

          The market of nutraceuticals, functional foods, and food supplements is a growing field due to consumer concerns and awareness of health. However, the quality of the products in the field is not well controlled. This volume examines the chemical and biological quality management of nutraceuticals and is divided into three sections. The first provides an overview on the topic and reviews several important classes of nutraceutical compounds, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and marine nutraceuticals. Examples of the chemical analysis of several nutraceutical products on the market such as goldenseal, saw palmetto, green tea, cocoa, and black cohosh are discussed in the second section of the volume. The final section gives the bioactivity of several nutraceutical products such as ginger and gum guggal.

              Description:
              A liquid chromatographic (LC) technique coupled with photodiode array (PDA) detection was developed for determining daphnetin in extracts of Daphne tangutica and its medicinal preparation. The optimized method was achieved for the separation and detection of selected constituent using methanol-0.5% phosphonic acid as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8mLmin^-^1, and 325nm as the detection wavelength. Daphnetin showed good linearity in a relatively wide concentration range (r > 0.999). Intra- and inter-assay accuracy and precision were all lower than 5.0%. Sample extracting and purifying procedures were intensively explored. The recovery of the method was 94.8%-105.0% with a relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of 4.0%. The concentration of daphnetin in D. tangutica from different locations and in its medicinal preparation manufactured by different factories was quite different. The current method may serve as a valuable tool for quality control of D. tangutica and its preparation.

                        Book Description

                        These autobiographical and analytical essays by a diverse group of professors and graduate students from working-class families reveal an academic world in which "blue-collar work is invisible." Describing conflict and frustration, the contributors expose a divisive middle-class bias in the university setting. Many talk openly about how little they understood about the hierarchy and processes of higher education, while others explore how their experiences now affect their relationships with their own students. They all have in common the anguish of choosing to hide their working-class background, to keep the language of home out of the classroom and the ideas of school away from home. These startlingly personal stories highlight the fissure between a working-class upbringing and the more privileged values of the institution.

                        4 out of 5 stars Voices to be heard.......2001-05-02

                        I read a selection from this book for a class, which prompted me to read the rest of the book. Really interesting narratives written by a number of first generation university students from a number of races and cultures, all from working class backgrounds.

                        A common theme is the feeling of living in two worlds - home and school - worlds which seldom intersect. Students speak of trying to fit in with peers who were more well off, explaining why they didn't have money to go out on the weekend, or why they couldn't attend various events or spring break flings because they had to work.

                        Entitlement - not quite feeling like they belonged at the university... watching peers walk around like they owned the place and were born to it.

                        Identity - being changed by the college experience, and wondering how the experience would change their relationship with family/community who seemed, by comparison, so unchanged. Several spoke of becoming bi-lingual - speaking one way at the university and another at home. Communication styles that were vital to being understood and accepted both places.

                        The irony of higher education being such a point of pride for the family, who made huge sacrifices for the student to be the first in the family - not knowing that the college experience would potentially pull the student away from identifying with that family/community working-class culture.

                        University values - While schools are at least talking about racial unity, there was less attention given to class unity. Many struggled with the idea that the whole purpose of getting a university education was to "get a brighter future", a "better opportunity", to "escape" having to work a blue collar job. If blue collar is who I am and who my famliy is, why is that something to escape? These were conflicting messages for many... be inclusive and sensitive to differences, but the white collar world is a higher, more worthy pursuit.

                        The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is the length of the book. The narrative format is engaging, but I felt the collection was a little lengthy to hold my interest through the entire book because the themes were repeated quite often in each narrative. Still worth the read, this perspective needs to be heard!

                              In this book you will find 10 short stories written by college students across the country based on their experiences going through University or Art school programs. While the locations are different and the voices all textured individually, the stories in this book are about the kinds of things you can actually expect from your own college experiences: from battling the dormitory bathrooms to studying for finals. These stories range from laugh out loud funny to profoundly heartwarming. A joy for anyone to read, and an excellent gift!
