Describes experimental methods for investigating the function of pumps, channels and transporters Ion-transporting membrane proteins, which include ion pumps, channels, and transporters, play crucial roles in all cellular life forms. Not only do they provide pathways linking the extracellular medium with the cytoplasm and the cytoplasm with the contents of intracellular organelles, they are also intimately involved in energy transduction in all cells. Pumps, Channels and Transporters: Methods of Functional Analysis covers the analytical techniques used for studying the function of ion transporting membrane proteins. The emphasis of this book is, therefore, on experimental methods for resolving the kinetics and dynamics of pumps, channels, and transporters. Structural methods, such as x-ray crystallography or electronmicroscopy, although clearly important for a complete understanding of membrane protein function down to the atomic level, are specifically excluded. The experimental methods treated in the book are divided into three main groups: electrical (Chapters 2-6), spectroscopic (Chapters 7-12), and radioactivity-based and atomic absorption-based flux assays (Chapters 13 and 14). Finally, the book concludes with a chapter on computational techniques (Chapter 15). Pumps, Channels and Transporters features: A wide range of electrophysiological techniques and spectroscopic methods used to analyze the function of ion channels, ion pumps and transporters New and emerging analytical methods used to study ion transport membrane proteins such as single-molecule spectroscopy State-of-the art analytical methods to study ion pumps, channels and transporters Readers interested in the dynamic aspects of membrane protein function should find the book interesting and of value for their own research.

Polymers are one of the most fascinating materials of the present era finding their applications in almost every aspects of life. Polymers are either directly available in nature or are chemically synthesized and used depending upon the targeted applications. Advances in polymer science and the introduction of new polymers have resulted in the significant development of polymers with unique properties. Different kinds of polymers have been and will be one of the key in several applications in many of the advanced pharmaceutical research being carried out over the globe. This 4-partset of books contains precisely referenced chapters, emphasizing different kinds of polymers with basic fundamentals and practicality for application in diverse pharmaceutical technologies. The volumes aim at explaining basics of polymers based materials from different resources and their chemistry along with practical applications which present a future direction in the pharmaceutical industry. Each volume offer deep insight into the subject being treated. Volume 1: Structure and Chemistry Volume 2: Processing and Applications Volume 3: Biodegradable Polymers Volume 4: Bioactive and Compatible Synthetic/Hybrid Polymers

This book explores the domain of reliability engineering in the context of machine tools. Failures of machine tools not only jeopardize users' ability to meet their due date commitments but also lead to poor quality of products, slower production, down time losses etc.

Polymers are an important part in everyday life; products made from polymers range from sophisticated articles, such as biomaterials, to aerospace materials. One of the reasons for the great popularity exhibited by polymers is their ease of processing. Polymer properties can be tailored to meet specific needs by varying the atomic composition of the repeat structure, by varying molecular weight and by the incorporation (via covalent and non-covalent interactions) of an enormous range of compounds to impart specific activities. In food science, the use of polymeric materials is widely explored, from both an engineering and a nutraceutical point of view. Regarding the engineering application, researchers have discovered the most suitable materials for intelligent packaging which preserves the food quality and prolongs the shelf-life of the products. Furthermore, in agriculture, specific functionalized polymers are used to increase the efficiency of treatments and reduce the environmental pollution. In the nutraceutical field, because consumers are increasingly conscious of the relationship between diet and health, the consumption of high quality foods has been growing continuously. Different compounds (e.g. high quality proteins, lipids and polysaccharides) are well known to contribute to the enhancement of human health by different mechanisms, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, coronary disease, and hypertension. This first volume, of this two volume book, concerns the application of polymers in food packaging.

Gain a holistic view of agricultural (re)insurance and capital market risk transferIncreasing agricultural production and food security remain key challenges for mankind. In order to meet global food demand, the Food and Agriculture Organisation estimates that production has to increase by 50% by 2050 and requires large investments. Agricultural insurance and financial instruments have been an integral part to advancing productivity and are becoming more important in increasingly globalized and specialized agricultural supply chains in the wake of potentially more frequent and severe natural disasters in today's key producing markets.Underwriting, pricing and transferring agricultural risks is complex and requires a solid understanding of the production system, exposure, perils and the most suitable products, which vastly differ among developed and developing markets. In the last decade, new insurance schemes in emerging agricultural markets have greatly contributed to the large growth of the industry from a premium volume of US$10.1 billion (2006) to US$30.7 billion (2017). This growth is bound to continue as insurance penetration and exposure increase and new schemes are being developed. Agricultural (re)insurance has become a cornerstone of sovereign disaster risk financing frameworks.Agricultural Risk Transfer introduces the main concepts of agricultural (re)insurance and capital market risk transfer that are discussed through industry case studies. It also discusses best industry practices for all main insurance products for crop, livestock, aquaculture and forestry risks including risk assessment, underwriting, pricing, modelling and loss adjustment.* Describes agricultural production risks and risk management approaches* Covers risk transfer of production and financial risks through insurance and financial instruments* Introduces modelling concepts for the main perils and key data sources that support risk transfer through indemnity- and index-based products* Describes risk pricing and underwriting approaches for crop, livestock, aquaculture and forestry exposure in developed and developing agricultural systems* Become familiar with risk transfer concepts to reinsurance and capital markets* Get to know the current market landscape and main risk transfer products for individual producers, agribusinesses and governments through theory and comprehensive industry case studiesThrough Agricultural Risk Transfer, you'll gain a holistic view of agricultural (re)insurance and capital market solutions which will support better underwriting, more structured product development and improved risk transfer.
