Cold is the single most important enemy of life, and this 1985 book discusses the responses of living organisms to low temperatures.

Since the publication of the previous volumes many new aspects of the physical and life sciences have been developed in which the properties of water play a dominant role. Although, according to its preface, Volume 5 was to be the last one of the treatise, these recent developments have led to a revision of that statement. The present volume and its companion, still in preparation, deal with topics that were already mentioned in the preface to...

A common focus is the central position adopted by water in the systems and processes described.

The fourth volume of Water Science Reviews presents three fascinating accounts of hydration phenomena in collodial systems.

to arrive at some temporary consensus model or models, and to present reliable physical data pertaining to water under a range of conditions, i.e., "Dorsey revisited, " albeit on a less ambitious scale. I should like to acknowledge a debt of gratitude to several of my col­ leagues, to Prof. D. J. G. Ives and Prof. Robert L. Kay for valuable guidance and active encouragement, to the contributors to this volume for their willing cooperation, and...

The chapters making up this volume had originally been planned to form part of a single volume covering solid hydrates and aqueous solutions of simple molecules and ions. However, during the preparation of the manu­ scripts it became apparent that such a volume would turn out to be very unwieldy and I reluctantly decided to recommend the publication of sepa­ rate volumes. The most sensible way of dividing the subject matter seemed to lie in th...

Water 2nd Edition is an update and extension of the RSC paperback first published in 1983.

This volume is the last in the series comprising "Water-A Comprehensive Treatise. " It was originally planned to combine aqueous solutions of macro­ molecules and disperse systems in one volume, but largely because of the extensive coverage required by recent developments in aqueous solutions of proteins and synthetic polymers I decided to separate topics dealing with water in disperse systems. The systems treated in the present volume are of ...

This Volume, the last of the series, is devoted to water in its metastable forms, especially at sub-zero temperatures. The past few years have wit­ nessed an increasing interest in supercooled water and amorphous ice. If the properties of liquid water in the normal temperature range are already eccentric, then they become exceedingly so below the normal freezing point, in the metastable temperature range. Water can be supercooled to -39°C with...

The Hydrophobic Interaction.- Surfactants.- Dyestuffs.- Lipids.- Nucleic Acids, Peptides, and Proteins.- Polysaccharides.- Synthetic Polymers.

vi the information collected and discussed in this volume may help toward the achievement of such an objective. I should like to express my debt of gratitude to the authors who have contributed to this volume. Editing a work of this nature can strain long­ established personal relationships and I thank my various colleagues for bearing with me and responding (sooner or later) to one or several letters or telephone calls. My special thanks once...

Proteins are the servants of life. They occur in all component parts of living organisms and are staggering in their functional var- ty, despite their chemical similarity. Even the simplest single-cell organism contains a thousand different proteins, fulfilling a wide range of life-supporting roles. Their production is controlled by the cell's genetic machinery, and a malfunction of even one protein in the cell will give rise to pathological s...

Proteins are the servants of life. They occur in all com- nent parts of living organisms and are staggering in their fu- tional variety, despite their chemical similarity. Even the simplest single-cell organism contains a thousand different p- teins, fulfilling a wide range of life-supporting roles. Additions to the total number of known proteins are being made on an increasing scale through the discovery of mutant strains or their production ...

Aimed at product and process developers in the biopharmaceutical industry and academia, this is the first book to describe freeze-drying, as related to the pharmaceutical industry.

A common focus is the central position adopted by water in the systems and processes described.

A common focus will be the central position adopted by water in the systems and processes described.

The overall theme of Volume 2 is water in crystalline solids: the ice polymorplis, salt and organic hydrates.

Water Science Reviews contains three or four critical reviews of the type previously published in the seven volume work Water - A Comprehensive Treatise.

The fourth volume of Water Science Reviews presents three fascinating accounts of hydration phenomena in collodial systems.
