C’est avec une réelle volonté didactique que cet ouvrage aborde l’interprétation des spectres de masse pour confirmer ou élucider des structures chimiques. Les publications scientifiques dédiées à la spectrométrie de masse sont souvent complexes et présentent une approche très théorique, souvent difficile à comprendre et à mettre en pratique. Ce livre se fait fort, grâce à sa simplicité et à sa démarche ancrée dans la pratique, d’offrir aux débutants comme aux spécialistes du domaine, les clés de cette technique. Un premier chapitre présente des rappels de chimie organique nécessaires à une bonne compréhension des réactions impliquées. Dans un deuxième chapitre, les mécanismes de formation et de dissociation des ions sont détaillés : ruptures simples et réarrangements, fragmentations secondaires, etc. Ces mécanismes sont illustrés de nombreux exemples concrets. La seconde partie de cet ouvrage propose une cinquantaine d'exercices corrigés permettant d'acquérir maîtrise et autonomie. À la fois manuel universitaire et guide pratique quotidien, L’interprétation des spectres de masse en couplage GC-MS constitue une référence pour tous les utilisateurs de couplage GC-MS tels que les ingénieurs, techniciens, chercheurs, étudiants, etc., débutants ou confirmés, désireux d'interpréter judicieusement leurs spectres de masse. Outre l'élucidation structurale, la compréhension des mécanismes qui régissent l'interprétation des spectres permet l'amélioration des méthodes analytiques et la fiabilisation des résultats.

This collection of essays and reviews represents the most significant and comprehensive writing on Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors. Miola's edited work also features a comprehensive critical history, coupled with a full bibliography and photographs of major productions of the play from around the world. In the collection, there are five previously unpublished essays. The topics covered in these new essays are women in the play, the play's debt to contemporary theater, its critical and performance histories in Germany and Japan, the metrical variety of the play, and the distinctly modern perspective on the play as containing dark and disturbing elements. To compliment these new essays, the collection features significant scholarship and commentary on The Comedy of Errors that is published in obscure and difficulty accessible journals, newspapers, and other sources. This collection brings together these essays for the first time.

This dictionary includes some 9200 terms, each with a definition and often and additional descriptive text in English, the terms being translated in French, German and Spanish. It is more complete than similar previously published dictionaries or glossaries, and contains all fields of soil science as well as some adjacent fields of other earth sciences, agriculture and engineering. Present concepts and definitions are detailed along with earlier concepts, not only for historical reasons but also for developing new ideas. Concepts, terms and definitions usual in literature of various countries are discussed and compared, to offer an appropriate exchange of ideas. Soil classifications and methodologies for soil investigation coming from a score of European, American and other countries and international organisations are presented, and correlations between names of soil taxa in different classifications are suggested. Readers active in all branches of soil science will find accessible answers to many of their questions, either directly referring to procedures used in the organisations where they work, or related to way of thinking in other countries. Readers active in other branches, but needing information on soils, will also find answers to this dictionary of great assistance to their research.* Over 9200 terms with definitions in English and translations in French, German, Spanish* Includes all fields of soil science and many connected sciences* All present-day terminology with inclusion of earlier, classical concepts and terms * Terminology in current USDA Soil Taxonomy, FAO World Reference Base or Soil Resources, and other documents from different countriesGranted the "N.Cernescu" award from the Romanian Academy on Agricultural and Forestry Sciences

Cet ouvrage illustre de façon claire et pédagogique les méthodes et les concepts qui sont à la base des progrès de la génomique en biologie végétale (grands programmes internationaux de séquençage, outils de la bio-informatique, méthodes d'analyse de l'expression des gènes incluant leurs produits métaboliques finaux et leur spécificité tissulaire et/ou cellulaire). Il rend compte des applications potentielles de la génomique dans les domaines de la génétique et de l'amélioration des plantes, de l'écophysiologie et de l'agronomie. Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants de fin d'études universitaires ou agronomiques, aux professeurs de l'enseignement supérieur, aux techniciens, aux ingénieurs et scientifiques qui souhaitent acquérir des connaissances en génomique végétale.

Foundations of molecular structure determination gives a broad introduction to a range of common spectroscopic and diffraction methods, with frequent worked examples and problem questions provided to assist beginning undergraduates in developing their structure analysis skills.

The many spice and aromatic plants are arranged in alphabetical order of their botanical relevance. It includes all species which have been cultivated for the above purposes. It also covers species whose usage has long ceased or which are used only rarely or have become wild. In total over 1400 plants have been collated. The register of literature has been designed to facilitate the study of a specific plant or spice. Works both on botany and agriculture, and on chemistry, pharmacodynamics and usage have been considered.

The Commission of the European Communities presents with this volume the proceedings and the conclusions of the second European Symposium on the analysis of organic micropollutants in water. This symposium has been organized within the framework of the Concerted Action "Analysis of Organic Micropollutants in Water". This research programme is jointly implemented by the European Communities and Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and Yugoslavia within the framework of a COST (Cooperation Scientifique et Technique) agreement. The project, also known as COST Project 64b bis, aims at coordinating all relevant research in this field in the participating countries. An effort is made to improve methods and techniques for the identification and quantitative determination of organic compounds present in all types of water. The symposium permitted to review the results achieved during the past three years of research in the following areas: - Sampling and sample treatment - Gas-chromatography Separation of non-volatile compounds, in particular high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) - Mass-spectrometry - Data processing - Specific analytical problems, in particular the analysis of organic halogens and phenolic compounds. The volume gives a rather complete overview of the activities in this field in Europe. We are confident that it constitutes a valuable contribution to solving the important problems posed by the huge number of already identified or yet unknown organic pollutants in water. The Commission of the European Communities wishes to express their sincere thanks to the co-organizers, the National Board for Science and Technology, Dublin and An Foras Forbartha, Dublin.
