Explore the full productivity of your NMR equipment! - How one has to perform NMR experiments? - Which experiment conveys the desired information? - How do the applied pulse sequences work? - How can the desired informations be read off the spectra? - Which equipment is needed for special experiments? The new edition of this highly successful book is expanded by another 50 important NMR experiments dedicated to the latest developments. The expansions mainly concern the fields of chemical applications, of very recent gradient selected experiments now arranged in two chapters (1D and 2D), and of the basics of solid-state NMR in a completely new chapter. Again, all experiments from basic pulse determinations to advanced 2D and some 3D techniques have been performed especially for this book. The figures are taken directly from the spectrometer output and the reader can therefore rely on the results presented. Written by leading experts, it is a thorough guide through the maze of modern NMR tools. Being a textbook as well as a reference and work book for the laboratory, this book is a must for every scientist applying NMR as well as for students preparing for their lab courses.

This book will strengthen a student's grasp of the laws of physics by applying them to practical situations, and problems that yield more easily to intuitive insight than brute-force methods and complex mathematics. These intriguing problems, chosen almost exclusively from classical (non-quantum) physics, are posed in accessible non-technical language requiring the student to select the right framework in which to analyse the situation and decide which branches of physics are involved. The level of sophistication needed to tackle most of the two hundred problems is that of the exceptional school student, the good undergraduate, or competent graduate student. The book will be valuable to undergraduates preparing for 'general physics' papers. It is hoped that even some physics professors will find the more difficult questions challenging. By contrast, mathematical demands are minimal, and do not go beyond elementary calculus. This intriguing book of physics problems should prove instructive, challenging and fun.

This text presents 21st century astronomy as a dynamic story of theory building and theory testing and a process of observation and discovery. The authors' primary goal is to build students' scientific literacy by emphasizing how science works and why it is relevant, rather than by cataloging a large mass of individual details. With a clear focus on core concepts and carefully crafted pedagogical aids "21st Century Astronomy" chronicles scientists at work on the most important questions about the Universe, highlighting the making of new discoveries and the puzzlement created by new lines of enquiry.

The university is under attack from all sides. Parents and students resent the escalating costs of education and wonder where the money is being spent. Aspiring scholars feel betrayed by an institution that prepares them for nonexistent jobs. Critics on the right condemn teachers who negelect "the canon" while critics on the left condemn the creeping corporatism on campus. Politicians seek greater control over the conduct of research and add new conditions to the use of government funds. Academics themselves are increasingly uneasy in an environment that fosters competition, discourages co-operation and has made "publish or perish" a condition of survival. This book aims to examine teaching, graduate training, research and their ethical context in the research university. Aware of the numerous pressures that academics face, from the persuit of open inquiry in the midst of culture wars, to confusion and controversy over the ownership of ideas and the scramble for declining research funds and facilities, the author explores the whys and wherefores of academic misconduct. The author also suggests that meaningful reform cannot take place until more rigorous standards of academic responsibility are embraced by both faculty and the administration.

The chemistry and biochemistry of oxygen has become a very active area of research in recent years. There is interest in the subject from fields ranging from medicine to biology and chemistry to engineering and environmental studies. These volumes provide an introduction to the field suitable for first year graduate students with a bachelor's degree in virtually any science and also for practicing professionals with no background in this area. There is no previous treatment at this level. The properties and reactions of oxygen in chemical and biochemical systems are described in enzymatic, environmental, organic, and inorganic systems. There are significant medical applications of this area of research, for example, in white cell antimicrobial activity, ALS, ischemia, cardiovascular disease, dietary antioxidants, cancer, and ageing. This book should be of interest to researchers and students of organic, bioorganic, bioinorganic chemistry and biochemistry.
