Bioinformatics offers novel tools and resources to analyze plant genomes and genes. The complete genomes of two important commercial palms (dates and oil palm) have recently been sequenced. This offers scope for many computational tools to decipher the synteny, collinearity and common and unique genes of palms. This book reviews the latest developments in this field. - Includes the latest information on the molecular breeding and bioinformatics of palms - Covers past and current work and future opportunities - Written in simple language avoiding technical jargon
This knowledge of basic sciences coupled with a keen clinical sense, attention to detail and good decision-making skills is the defining characteristic of Critical Care. However, medical knowledge of the nature needed for an exacting practice of Critical Care also requires renewal as technology in the ICU and understanding of disease processes evolve with the passage of time. This monograph has been created to fill this gap. While Critical Care is an established specialty in many parts of the world, only in recent years it has received some attention in India. It is therefore appropriate that this monograph has been planned, keeping in view the growing interest in this specialty. Some of the chapters are detailed while others provide an overview of the subject, but each one has been written in keeping with the challenges of our present times. Many of the important issues related to the practice of Critical Care in our country have been covered in this monograph. This publication has been made possible through the untiring efforts of all faculty members and with the help of a grant from one of the companies. Critical Care Update will hopefully serve consultants, junior doctors, nurses and paramedical staff as a handy book to guide practice and decision-making in the future.
Approaching carbohydrate chemistry for the first time can be daunting as basic information is often buried in texts intended for advanced practitioners in the field. This brief primer attempts to bridge that gap. Chapter 1 introduces the basics of carbohydrate structure. Chapter 2 introduces the various roles carbohydrates play in biology. Chapter 3 discusses the glycosylation reaction used to assemble oligosaccharides along with a survey of commonly used glycosyl donors. Chapter 4 discusses commonly used protecting groups. Chapter 5 covers advances in automating the carbohydrate synthesis. Chapter 6 introduces the role of enzymes in the synthesis of homogeneous carbohydrates and glycoproteins. The authors hope this primer will introduce the uninitiated to the challenges and beauty of carbohydrate synthesis and inspire them to bring a new perspective and new advances to the field. Only by doing so will we, as a community of synthetic chemists, be able to tame one of the last and arguably most complex areas of chemical space to create new advances in human health.
Part of the Clinical Focus series, this book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis. The new volume is highly illustrated with tables and images and written by an internationally recognised editor and author team.
This book addresses key topics related to the broad subject of "Environmental Chemistry". The book tries to present the topics that are essential to understand the chemical process in our environment—involving air,, water, and soil. Chapters that are very much current such as environmental nuclear chemistry, analytical tools needed for chemical aspect of our environment, solid waste and management methodology, quality criteria for air and water have all been treated in a simple fashion so that a reader can refer to advanced books in specific topics for better understanding. A brief review of fundamentals of chemistry is also included. References are listed that are easily available in the subcontinent and also many commonly accessed websites are also mentioned for better and detailed information on specific topics or sub-topics. The book follows the syllabus for "Environmental Chemistry" by UGC for M.Sc. as ell as by AICTE for M.Tech/B.Tech students in environmental engineering. The contents can be covered either in one semester course or in an annual mode with spread out teaching. Topics mentioned in this book can also form independent modules.
