Abstract

Mass spectrometry (MS) along with its hyphenated techniques is capable of high throughput, sensitivity, accuracy and selectivity for the analysis of structure and composition of almost any product. Like in electrophoresis, MS separates mo- cules based on the mass-to-charge ratio. In case of gel electrophoresis (SDS- PAGE), a well-known and efficient bioanalytical technique, proteins bear negative charges but have the same charge density, so proteins are separated according to their size. Similarly, in case of MS analysis, proteins carry the same charge, and are separated by their molecular weight. Unlike SDS-PAGE, however, modern ultra high resolution MS discerns very small mass differences and can resolve and completely identify in a single experiment species of the same nominal mass in complex biological mixtures. Consequently, MS can be used for the structural characterization, identification and sensitive detection of mixtures of biomolecules or for assessing the quality of isolated proteins (purity, integrity, or post-translational modifications, for example), carbohydrates, nucleic acids, drugs, metabolites, pollutants etc. In the post-genome era, MS is continuously developing as one of the most re- able analytical method for elucidating the structure of molecules originating from various biological matrices. The potential of MS for high-sensitive structural a- lyses became unsurpassable after the introduction of electrospray (ESI) and matrix assisted laser/desorption ionization (MALDI) methods, on one hand, and the pos- bility to deduce in detail unknown biopolymer structures by highly accurate mo- cular mass measurement followed by sequencing using dissociation techniques based on multiple stage MS, on the other.

Abstract

About the Editor Dr. Chris D. Geddes Ph.D., Professor, is Director and Founder of the Institute of Fluorescence at the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, Medical Biotechnology Center in Baltimore, USA. He has a B.Sc. from Lancaster University in England and a Kodak funded Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry (fluorescence spectroscopy) from the University of Wales Swansea, UK. Dr. Geddes is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Fluorescence, and both the Editor and Founding Editor-in-Chief of the Who’s Who in Fluorescence, Annual Reviews in Fluorescence, Annual Reviews in Plasmonics volumes and of "Plasmonics", Springer's latest Peer Reviewed Journal. Dr. Geddes is also Executive Director of the Society of Fluorescence and Co-Editor of the popular series Topics in Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Dr. Geddes has published approximately 175 articles and 15 books / volumes on the principles and applications of Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Plasmonics. The Institute of Fluorescence features two main laboratories, which underpin Dr. Geddes’s research aspirations, namely; The Laboratory of Advanced Medical Plasmonics and the Laboratory for Advanced Fluorescence Spectroscopy. Both laboratories are poised to advanced our knowledge of fluorescence / plasmonics and their applications. Current research is based on developing a fundamental understanding of metal-enhanced fluorescence, a term introduced by Dr. Geddes in 2002, with outcomes focused at developing a unified plasmon-fluorophore description. Other research involves developing microwave based plasmonic devices for ultra fast and ultra sensitive sensing platforms, such as for the detection of bio-warfare and clinical agents, e.g. Anthrax and Cardiac Markers. http://theinstituteoffluorescence.com/ About the Who's Who in Fluorescence Annual Volume The Who’s Who in Fluorescence Annual Volume was founded by Dr. Chris D. Geddes, Professor and Director of the Institute of Fluorescence at the University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute, Baltimore, Maryland USA, in 2003. The Who’s Who in Fluorescence is a comprehensive directory of workers from Industry, Governments and Academia alike, who employ Fluorescence methodologies in their everyday working lives. The invitation-only volume features a brief description of a contributor’s specialty or research, keyword listings, contact details and representative publications. A "Companies in Fluorescence" section can also be found at the back of the volume and features company adverts, product information and contact details. The origins of the volume can be traced back to Professor Geddes adopting the editorialship of the Journal of Fluorescence in 2001. At that time, the Journal of Fluorescence was still taking paper-based manuscript submissions, with editorial decisions sent via paper mail or e-mail. In the absence of any global directory of fluorescence expertise, workers and company details for peer-review purposes, Dr. Geddes created simple spreadsheets with workers details and fluorescence specialty keyword listings etc. In late 2002 it was thought that other workers in fluorescence might also benefit from a global listing. Subsequently, the first volume was published by Kluwer Academic / Plenum Press in January 2003. The first volume featured some 312 fluorescence workers from around the world. Today, the volume now published by Springer, has established itself in the fluorescence community as the key directory for fluorescence workers worldwide, with thousands of copies disseminated annually at conferences, through internet book stores and by the Institute of Fluorescence, home to the Who’s Who in Fluorescence Annual Volume. http://wwifonline.com/.

Abstract

The organization of an Advanced Research Workshop with the title “Detection and Disposal of Liquid Explosives and Flammable Agents in Connection with Terrorism” was motivated by international findings about activities in this field of application. This ARW followed a meeting about the “Detection of Disposal Improvised Explosives” (St. Petersburg, 2005). Both items show the logistic problems as one of the lessons, terrorists have to overcome. These problems are connected with the illegal supply and transport of explosives and fuels and as counter-measure the detection of these materials. The invention of liquid explosives goes back to the middle of the 19th century and was used for special purposes in the commercial field of application. Because of the high sensitivity of liquid explosives against mechanical shock, caused by adiabatic compression of air-bobbles producing “hot spots” as origin of initiation the commercial application was not very successful. Because of this high risk, liquid explosives are not used in military or commercial application with some exceptions. In the commercial field explosives as slurries or emulsions consisting of suitable salts (Ammoniumnitrate etc.) and water are used to a large extend because of their high insensitivity. In many cases these slurries or emulsions were unfit for terrorist actions, because of their low sensitivity, large critical diameter and using in confinement. In the military field liquid explosives are used in World War I and II as bomb-fillings.

Abstract

Chemistry from First Principles is written for any chemist who requires a fundamental understanding of the complexities of chemistry. It provides a clear interpretation of chemical theory from first principles. This book examines the appearance of matter in its most primitive form, from the vacuum and the diversity that results from the fusion of elementary units in the genesis of atomic matter; considers the empirical rules of chemical affinity that regulate the synthesis and properties of molecular matter; analyzes the compatibility of the theories of chemistry with the quantum and relativity theories of physics; formulates a consistent theory, based on clear physical pictures and manageable mathematics, to account for chemical concepts such as the structure and stability of atoms and molecules, the periodicity of nuclides and elements, valence states, activation and chemical reactivity, electronegativity and general covalency, the exclusion principle, electronic energy, orbital angular momentum and spin in relation to molecular shape, torsional rigidity, chirality and molecular modeling; explains the self-similarity between space-time, nuclear structure, covalent assembly, biological growth, planetary systems and galactic conformation. Chemistry from First Principles is an essential guide for students of chemistry who lack the knowledge in higher mathematics considered necessary to grasp the basic principles of chemical theory, teachers of chemistry who are forced to preach concepts which they poorly understand, and any scientist who is seeking a true understanding of chemistry through logical concepts.

Abstract

Tis book concentrates on atomic force microscopy (AFM), a method recently - veloped to study the surfaces of synthetic polymeric membranes. AFM is becoming a very important tool for the characterization of synthetic polymeric membranes. Te development of membranes of improved performance depends on the exact kn- ledge of the morphology of a thin selective layer that exists at the surface of the m- brane. Te control of the morphology of the selective layer is crucial for the design of synthetic polymeric membranes. With a relatively short history of only twen- ?ve years, AFM has ?rmly established its position as a method to characterize the membrane surface. Each chapter of this book includes information on basic principles, commercial applications, current research, and guidelines for future research. Each chapter is summarized at the end and contains a comprehensive list of references. Te introductory chapter gives a brief overview of synthetic polymeric m- branes and their applications both in industrial processes and in biomedical ?elds. It also gives an overview of studies on membrane surface morphology by various methods. Chapter ? deals with the synthesis of membranes, the properties of membranes, and the application of membranes. Te beginning also identi?es the three types of membranes (i.e., biological, synthetic, and theoretical) and their applications.

Abstract

The validation and standardization of fluorescence methods is still in its infancy as compared to other prominent analytical and bioanalytical methods. Appropriate quality assurance standards are however a prerequisite for applications in highly regulated fields such as medical diagnostics, drug development, or food analysis. For the first time, a team of recognized international experts has documented the present status of quality assurance in fluorescence measurements, and outlines concepts for establishing standards in this field. This second of two volumes covers applications of fluorescence for bioanalysis and biomedical diagnostics.
