Solid State NMR Spectroscopy for Biopolymers: Principles and Applications By Hazime Saitô, Isao Ando, Akira Naito
2006 | 465 Pages | ISBN: 1402043023 | PDF | 13 MB
When considering the biological significance and industrial and medical applications of biopolymers, it is crucial to know details of their secondary structure, dynamics and assembly. The biopolymers include globular, membrane and fibrous proteins, polypeptides, nucleic acids, polysaccharides and lipids. Solid state NMR spectroscopy has proved to be the most suitable and unrivaled means for investigations of biopolymers. The major advantage of solid state NMR spectroscopy is that the resulting line widths can be manipulated experimentally and are not influenced by motional fluctuation of proteins under consideration as a whole. Solid State NMR Spectroscopy for Biopolymers: Principles and Applications provides a comprehensive account on how the conformation and dynamics of such biopolymers can be revealed by solid state NMR spectroscopy. Special efforts have been made towards the historical and chronological consequences of a variety of applications and the dynamic aspects of the biopolymer system. In particular, the authors emphasise how important it is to record the most simple DD-MAS (one pulse excitation with high power decoupling) as a mean of locating very flexible portions of membrane proteins and membrane associated peptides. The authors also demonstrate that dynamic features of membrane proteins with a timescale of fast (108 Hz) and intermediate (104 -105 Hz) fluctuation motions can be revealed easily by specific suppression of peaks.

2006 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1593791178 | PDF | 9 MB
Great things can happen when you dare to seize your dream! It was the college basketball game that changed everything. When five young black athletes from Texas Western took the court and defeated an all-white squad from Kentucky for the 1966 NCAA championship, the doors of opportunity were immediately knocked down allowing greater racial equality in college sports to become the norm. David Big Daddy D Lattin was one of the driving forces in that game from the opening tip right down to his earth-shattering, establishment-shaking dunks. Slam Dunk to Glory is Lattin s personal account of the magical season that was recently portrayed in the major motion picture Glory Road. With an honest and transparent writing style, Lattin takes sports fans back in time to an era of civil unrest and societal turmoil. While some of the country s darker moments are exposed, Slam Dunk to Glory is ultimately about achieving greatness despite overwhelming odds. This engaging autobiography also includes a 31-page center section of photos from the 1966 season and other key parts of Lattin s life. For sports fans and history buffs alike, Slam Dunk to Glory offers a challenging yet inspirational look at the evolution of race in the United States. Destined to become an instant classic, this title will likely earn its way into the essential sports library.

Shareholder Cities: Land Transformations Along Urban Corridors in India (The City in the Twenty-First Century) by Sai Balakrishnan
English | Nov 1, 2019 | ISBN: 0812251466 | 256 pages | PDF | 26 MB
Economic corridors-ambitious infrastructural development projects that newly liberalizing countries in Asia and Africa are undertaking-are dramatically redefining the shape of urbanization. Spanning multiple cities and croplands, these corridors connect metropolises via high-speed superhighways in an effort to make certain strategic regions attractive destinations for private investment. As policy makers search for decentralized and market-oriented means for the transfer of land from agrarian constituencies to infrastructural promoters and urban developers, the reallocation of property control is erupting into volatile land-based social conflicts.

Security Informatics By Yi-Da Chen, Ahmed Abbasi, Hsinchun Chen (auth.), Christopher C. Yang, Michael Chau, Jau-Hwang Wang, Hsinchun Chen (eds.)
2010 | 206 Pages | ISBN: 1441913246 | PDF | 5 MB
Intelligence and Security Informatics (ISI) is defined as the study of the development and use of advanced information systems and technologies for national, international, and societal security-related applications. With the rise of global terrorism, the field has been given an increasing amount of attention from academic researchers, law enforcement, intelligent experts, information technology consultants and practitioners. SECURITY INFORMATICS is global in scope and perspective. Leading experts will be invited as contributing authors from the US, UK, Denmark, Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe, etc. It is the first systematic, archival volume treatment of the field and will cover the very latest advances in ISI research and practice. It is organized in four major subject areas: (1) Information and Systems Security, (2) Information Sharing and Analysis in Security Informatics, (3) Infrastructure Protection and Emergency Responses, and (4) National Security and Terrorism Informatics.
