Peptide Folding, Misfolding, and Nonfolding

  This book provides an overview on what researchers have learned about unfolded peptides and how this knowledge facilitates the understanding of (a) the folding process, (b) the binding of ligands to receptor molecules, and (c) peptide self-aggregation. In this...

Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits

  Optical communication technology, like diode lasers used in optical storage devices, is vital to the optoelectronics industry. Since the first edition, Diode Lasers and Photonic Integrated Circuits presents up-to-date information on optical communication...

Surface Science

  Surface science has evolved beyond being a sub-field of chemistry or physics and has now become an underpinning science. The Third Edition of this book incorporates extensive worked solutions, as well as details on how problem solving relevant to surface...

How to Knit Carbon Fibers

How to Knit Carbon Fibers

Germany scientists manufactured knitted fabrics made of silicon carbide fiber. These knitted carbon fibers offer a superior flexibility, wide range of pore size, and a higher degree of drapability.

Animal Models

  The Global Medical Excellence Cluster (GMEC) and the New York Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Imperial College London and King's College London, sponsored the conference Animal Models and Their Value in Predicting Drug Efficacy and Toxicity. The goal...
