Adopting an integrated approach it covers the agricultural, environmental and medical aspects of this emotive topic. In addition, there is an extensive description of the biochemistry of nitrates in plants, animals and humans including the positive aspects as well as the hazards.

This volume, with contributions from leading international experts, reports on the need to produce high quality food while satisfying environmental concerns. Including new material on natural products, modes of action and metabolism, it updates all the key areas in pesticide chemistry and related activities. The contents outline the tremendous developments that have taken place in approaches to crop protection and our ability to develop comple...

The properties of humic substances (HSs) in plants, soils and sediments regulate the environment and affect all aspects of like, yet they are only very imprecisely understood. This volume presents work on HSs including new instruments and techniques being developed to throw more light on their structure and relationship to macro- and micro-scopic properties.

The Asian-Australasian Association for Composite Materials (AACM) has been playing a leading role in the field of composite science and technology since its inception in 1997. AACM aims to encourage the interchange of knowledge in all aspects of composite materials both in the scientific and engineering communities. Following the success of the first three ACCM conferences ACCM 4 was held in Sydney, Australia, in July 2004. Composite technolog...

The diversity of subjects involved in marine corrosion and fouling processes are evident in the approaches and techniques described in this book.

The field of chemically modified particle surfaces has seen many significant developments. This text covers analytical and synthetic techniques for the development and understanding of these surfaces. Encompassing subjects including self-assembled monolayers, scanning probe microscopies, combinatorial synthetic techniques, plasma polymerizations and molecular modeling of modified surfaces, the book provides a snap-shot of concepts and tools.

Contributors from the wood preservation industry address a range of needs associated with cost, safety and performance efficacy, not neglecting a search for a better understanding of the finer chemical mechanisms involved. Remaining problems are outlined in strategies for further research and development.

Environmental considerations are increasingly shaping the development of many industries. This is an overview of surfactants and the environment. It goes on to look at new surfactants derived from renewable, "natural" resources such as sucrose, seaweed and starch. Other chapters review a decade of change in the surfactant industry and assess future market trends. Some of the developments in surfactant technology are presented, including "gemin...

The book is organized in to sections covering: epidemiology of diet and cancer, mechanisms of DNA damage and repair, the body’s various protectiv...

Cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, commonly occur in a variety of water types throughout the world. A high proportion of the cyanobacterial blooms and scums contain potent toxins. This volume looks at the application of biological, toxicological, biochemical and physicochemical techniques in studies of cyanobacterial toxins and at experimental methods that have identified at least 50 cyanobacterial compounds toxic to vertebrates.

Understanding the structural, compositional and physicochemical properties of the wheat used in bread, biscuits, pasta and other consumer products is important. This book brings together international experts to provide an overview of the progress made to date and also to give an insight into the new approaches that can be used to solve outstanding problems. It covers progress in areas including: what grain structure, structural features of th...

This volume brings together contributors from water regulators, and water suppliers in Europe and North America to discuss the main issues associated with reaching a cost-effective balance between microbial and chemical risks. Overviews of research are presented alongside illuminating case studies of the practical approaches taken by water companies and regulators on both sides of the Atlantic.

The book presents important information on the presence of various flavonoids found in berries, vegetables and fruits and their antioxidative potencies, as well as the role of antioxidative vitamins and carotenoids in cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Lipids have a variety of functions in the human body which have increasingly been under the spotlight in recent years. A multidisciplinary book, "Lipids in Health and Nutrition "addresses the chemical, biochemical and physiological aspects of these widely occurring compounds. International experts combine to present research on a variety of topics, including advanced analytical techniques, the role of flavonoids in diet: possible links between...

Manufactured foodstuffs typically exist in the form of complex, multi-phase, multi-component, colloidal systems. One way to try to make sense of their chemical and structural complexity is to study simple model systems in which the nature and properties of the polymer molecules and dispersed particles are relatively well known. This volume consists of a collection of papers delivered at a conference on food colloids, the main theme of which wa...

This is the second edition of the definitive analysis of the international wine trade. This invaluable update focuses on individual trade flows across the major importing and exporting countries, examines the increasing role of food retailers in wine selling and looks for the future trends that will shape the industry in the new millennium. Trends in the consumption of alcoholic drinks are considered along with the challenge posed by New World...

A thoroughly practical text, but with sufficient theory to aid understanding of the welding parameters of strength, fatigue and failure, "Welded Design" provides specialist information on a topic often omitted from engineering courses. It explains why certain methods are used, and also gives examples of commonly performed calculations and derivation of data.
