Biology of the ubiquitous house sparrow : from genes to populations / par Anderson,, Ted R. Publication : [S.l.] : Oxford University Press, USA, 2006 . 560 p. ; , After the chicken, the House Sparrow is the most widely distributed bird species in the world, occurring on all continents except Antarctica and on most human-inhabited islands. Although its Latin name is Passer domesticus, it is certainly not domesticated. In fact, it is widely regarded as a pest species and is consequently not protected in most of its extensive range. This combination of ubiquity and minimal legal protection has contributed to its wide use in studies by avian biologists throughout the world. The purpose of this book is to review and summarize the results of these global studies on House Sparrows, and to provide a springboard for future studies on the species. House Sparrows have been used to study natural selection in introduced species, circadian rhythms, and the neuroendocrine control of the avian annual cycle. One current question of considerable interest concerns the catastrophic House Sparrow population declines in several urban centers in Europe. Is the House Sparrow a contemporary canary in the mine? Other topics of broad interest include the reproductive and flock-foraging strategies of sparrows, and sexual selection and the function of the male badge in the species. Anderson also explores the role of the House Sparrow in disease transmission to humans and their domesticated animals. 24 cm.

Cellulose solvents for analysis, shaping and chemical modification   Publication : Washington, DC | [Oxford] | [New York] American Chemical Society | Distributed by Oxford University Press 2010 . xii, 407 pages , "Cellulose Solvents gives an overview of the current state-of-the-art concerning the activation and dissolution of cellulose in a broad variety of solvents. Research on this topic can lead to new pathways for the utilization of the most abundant terrestrial biomolecule and may therefore be the basis for new green strategies towards advanced materials. Leading scientists in the field show different conceptions for the solubilization of cellulose. The long history and groundbreaking developments in the field of polymer chemistry, which are related to this subject, have lead to timely alternatives to already established methods. In addition to discussing attempts for the optimization of known dissolving procedures, this book also details new solvent systems. New solvents include inorganic and organic salt melts (ionic liquids), new aqueous media, multi-component organic solvents and the dissolution under partial derivatization of the polysaccharide. The opportunities and the limitations of the solvents are demonstrated, with a particular emphasis on the stability of the solutions and a possible recycling of the solvent components. It illustrates that the new procedures for cellulose dissolution can lead to a huge number of unconventional superstructures of regenerated cellulose material, such as fibers and polymer layers with a thickness in the nanometer range or aerogels, i.e. regenerates with a highly porous character and a large surface. Moreover, cellulose blends can be generated via solutions. It also contains chapters that show the amazing potential of solvents for defined modification reactions on the cellulose backbone. On one hand, it is possible to synthesize known cellulose derivatives with new substitution patterns both on the basis of the repeating unit and along the polymer chain. On the other hand, completely new derivatives are presented which are hardly accessible via heterogeneous reactions. Consequently, this book is intended to give a comprehensive overview of procedures for dissolution of cellulose. It is of interest for scientists new in the field but is also a timely summary of trends for experts who are looking for new approaches for problems related to cellulose shaping or chemical modification."--Publisher's description. | "Sponsored by the ACS Division of Cellulose and Renewable Materials." 24 cm.

Degradable polymers and materials : principles and practice / par Khemani, Kishan. Publication : [S.l.] : An American Chemical Society Publication, 2006 . 456 p. ; , This book is an excellent guide to biobased and biodegradable polymeric materials. It summarizes current knowledge on polymer degradation mechanisms and provides insight into recent, state of the art syntheses of (bio)degradable polymers. The book captures the shift that is currently observed in polymer industries, which takes the industry from a strict petroleum-based business to an industry that starts to incorporate biobased raw materials and seeks actively to manufacture materials that are environmentally benign. The book describes various aspects of current polymer research with special emphasis on natural polymers, syntheses and modifications of polyesters and characterization technologies that allow to elucidate degradation mechanisms. The understanding of polymer degradation is not limited anymore to hydrolytic processes, this book captures new approaches to the degradation of plastic materials ranging from photodegradation to the regulation of genes of polymer-degrading microorganisms. A profound part of the book is dedicated to poly(lactic acid) a polymer that is now produced in large scale from renewable resources, the modification, copolymerization, application and engineering of this material is discussed in detail and a comprehensive review is provided. 24 cm.

Green polymer chemistry: biocatalysis and biomaterials   Publication : [S.l.] American Chemical Society 2011 . 478 p. , Green Polymer Chemistry is a crucial area of research and product development that continues to grow in its influence over industrial practices. Developments in these areas are driven by environmental concerns, interest in sustainability, desire to decrease our dependence on petroleum, and commercial opportunities to develop "green" products. Publications and patents in these fields are increasing as more academic, industrial, and government scientists become involved in research and commercial activities. The purpose of this book is to publish new work from a cutting-edge group of leading international researchers from academia, government, and industrial institutions. Because of the multidisciplinary nature of Green Polymer Chemistry, corresponding publications tend to be spread out over numerous journals. This book brings these papers together so that the reader can gain a better appreciation of the breadth and depth of activities in Green Polymer Chemistry. It is based on contributions by oral and poster presenters at the international symposium, Biocatalysis in Polymer Science, held at the ACS National Meeting in Washington D.C. on August 17-20, 2009. Whereas many aspects of Green Polymer Chemistry were covered during the symposium, a particular emphasis was placed on biocatalysis and biobased materials. Many exciting new findings in basic research and applications were reported. In addition, several leaders in these areas who were unable to attend the symposium contributed important reviews of their ongoing work. As a result, this book provides a good representation of activities at the forefront of research in Green Polymer Chemistry emphasizing activities in biocatalysis and biobased chemistry. 24 cm.

Nanotechnology applications in coatings / par Fernando,, Raymond H. Publication : [S.l.] American Chemical Society, 2009 . 448 p. , Nanotechnology based coating products have shown remarkable growth in recent years. This book begins with an overview chapter on recent scientific and technological advancements in nanotechnology applications in this field. Subsequent chapters cover, in detail, a number of key applications of nanotechnology in coatings, along with the related fundamental science. Some contributions focus on issues related to inorganic/organic nanocomposite coating films, including dispersion of inorganic nanoparticles and nanoclays. Surface Functionalized nanoparticles, predispersed inorganic nanoparticles that can be mixed with existing organic coating formulations and organic/inorganic hybrid latexes are approaches discussed for preparation of nanocomposite coatings having improved scratch, corrosion, and UV resistance. Several chapters address nanostructure development approaches to impart specialized functionality and performance to coatings. Nanoporous adhesive microbial ink-jet ink for miniature biosensors and biocatalysts and nanostructured conjugated polymer networks are discussed. Characterization of nanostructure and nanoparticle dispersion in coatings is a difficult challenge, and this challenge is addressed in several chapters. Assessment of phopocatalytic activity of nanoparticles, use of atomic force microscopy, applications of Nano-Indentation for mechanical property measurements, and nano-thermal analysis are discussed. Size determination techniques suitable for nanoparticles are also reviewed. The highly multidisciplinary nature of the field is evident throughout the book. 24 cm.
