Book Description

Saponins are glycosides of triterpenes, steroids or steroidal alkaloids. They can be found in plants and marine organisms. Very diverse biological activities are ascribed to saponins and they play important roles in food, animal feedstuffs, and pharmaceutical properties. This volume provides a selection of recent work on saponins presented at a symposium in Pulawy, Poland, in 1999. Many different aspects are treated: analysis, separation, biological activities, relevant use in human and animal nutrition, and ecological significance. This book will be of use to researchers both in universities and industry.

Book Description

The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as “Zechmeister” after its founder, L. Zechmeister, have appeared under the Springer Imprint ever since the series’ inauguration in 1938. The volumes contain contributions on various topics related to the origin, distribution, chemistry, synthesis, biochemistry, function or use of various classes of naturally occurring substances ranging from small molecules to biopolymers. Each contribution is written by a recognized authority in his field and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the topic in question. Addressed to biologists, technologists, and chemists alike, the series can be used by the expert as a source of information and literature citations and by the non-expert as a means of orientation in a rapidly developing discipline.

Book Description

Spectroscopic Data of Saponins: The Triterpenoid Glycosides contains the physical and spectroscopic data of over 2,600 triterpene glycosides, along with occurrence and biological activities. It offers a wealth of information, such as chemical structure, biological source with family, molecular weight, melting point, and optical rotation with solvent. The text features computer-generated illustrations that clearly indicate the stereochemistry at different points, along with the glycosidic linkages. It furnishes four indices - compound index, plant source index, registry number index, and molecular formula index - that make it easy to locate particular compounds within the book.

Description:
Eighteen triterpenoidic saponins in crude extracts from leaves of Acanthopanax senticous Harms have been investigated by electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry and high-resolution mass spectrometry. In ESI-MS spectra, predominant [M+Na]^+ ions in the positive ion mode have been observed for molecular mass information. Meanwhile, specific structural correlations between these ions are firstly found. The 18 peaks (ions) can be classified into three groups (group D, E, and F with mass increase) with each group including six peaks. There is a mass difference of 132Da between group D and E for each corresponding peak in turn (for example peak 1 to peak 7), indicating one more pentose residue was attached to saponins in group E than those corresponding in group D. The mass difference of 146Da between group E and F implies one more deoxy-hexose attached to saponins in group F than those corresponding in group E. The structural correlations of the corresponding ions are confirmed by tandem mass spectrometry and high-resolution mass spectrometry. These structural features can not only facilitate the rapid characterization of the native known saponins in crude plant extracts, thus avoiding tedious derivation and separation of saponins, but also help find novel compounds of the same type in a specific medicinal plant. The structures of 14 known triterpenoidic saponins and four unknown saponins are thus determined or predicted. This methodology, with a combination of structural correlation of a complex mixture of homologs (which are difficult to separate) and mass spectrometry, has been established as a powerful and practical tool for the profiling of mixtures, especially of crude plant extracts and structural characterization of unknown compounds.

Book Description

This is the first book to present a comprehensive treatment of the mathematical physics of quantum wires and devices. The focus is on the recent results in the area of the spectral theory of bent and deformed quantum wires, simple quantum devices, Anderson localization, the quantum Hall effect and graphical models for quantum wire systems. The Selberg trace formula for finite volume graphical models is reviewed. Examples and relationships to recent work on acoustic and fluid flow, trapped states and spectral resonances, quantum chaos, random matrix theory, spectral statistics, point interactions, photonic crystals, Landau models, quantum transistors, edge states and metal-insulator transitions are developed. Problems related to modeling open quantum devices are discussed. The research of Exner and co-workers in quantum wires, Stollmann, Figotin, Bellissard et al. in the area of Anderson localization and the quantum Hall effect, and Bird, Ferry, Berggren and others in the area of quantum devices and their modeling is surveyed. The work on finite volume graphical models is interconnected to recent work on Ramanujan graphs and diagrams, the Phillips-Sarnak conjectures, L-functions and scattering theory. Audience: This book will be of use to physicists, mathematicians and engineers interested in quantum wires, quantum devices and related mesoscopic systems.

Book Description

This story is based in the early 1800's as parts of the Louisiana Purchase is opened up to white settlement. Immigrants from Europe begin to settle on the wild Missouri River as the young United States of America begins to transfer defeated eastern Indians onto the wide open plains. In this mix of cultures of western European Immigrants, displaced eastern Indians, and war loving plain's Indians is placed the most unlikely of hero, Mr. Matthew McDonald.

Matthew McDonald is an American born Scotsman who makes his living by fighting Indians and selling scalps. McDonald has been taught from birth on how to hate. As a young man he was taught the way of the feuding clans of Scotland. The McDonald clan have sworn revenge upon the Campbells who with the English army had attacked the McDonald glen; killing men, women, and even the McDonald children as the king had ordered the wholesale extermination of the McDonald clan.

The old Scottish feud spills over across the cold Atlantic as McDonalds and Campbells continue an old family tradition of fighting on American soil. The fight soon turns cockeyed as Matthew McDonald falls for the beautiful but deadly Widow McGregor whose maiden name just happens to be Campbell.

Matthew with his pockets full of gold and silver travels back towards civilization upon the Missouri River and finds a group of poor immigrants who have gambled everything on their farms and are about to lose their land because the government suddenly requires all land payments to be made in gold or silver. It is desperate times for the immigrants who gamble everything on this stranger passing through who knows where to find gold out west in the Spanish city of Santa Fe.

Matthew McDonald must lead a party of these greenhorn immigrants, which includes Campbells and the ill tempered Katy McGregor through the bloodthirsty Osage Indians, past the unpredictable Kiowa and right into the midst of the fearless Comanche Indians. The immigrants bet everything on a trip to Santa Fe and the gleam of Spanish gold. Matthew the loner can count on no one except his trusted mule which has been named unceremoniously, King George.

Feuds and family fights abound as McDonald and the Campbells join ranks and make war on eastern Indians, the plains Indians, the American Army, the Spanish Army, and anyone else who gets into the way of these desperate Scotsmen. In the midst of the gun smoke and barbarian behavior, Matthew McDonald and the beautiful, good cooking, ill tempered, Widow Katy McGregor find true love upon the plains.
