This three-volume work by Drs. R. R. Gupta, Mahendra Kumar, and Vandana Gupta explores the significance of heterocyclic chemistry, crucial in various fields like biochemistry and medicinal chemistry. It offers a well-organized, classical yet innovative approach, making it valuable for students and professionals alike.
This volume II/27 of the Landolt-Börnstein series is a thoroughly revised and expanded edition of volume II/16, focusing on diamagnetic susceptibility and magnetic anisotropy, incorporating literature up to 2005. It presents symbols and terminology related to these topics with clear explanations. The volume is divided into three subvolumes: Subvolume II/27A covers diamagnetic susceptibility and magnetic anisotropy of inorganic and organo-metallic compounds; Subvolume II/27B focuses on the diamagnetic susceptibility of organic compounds, oils, paraffins, and polyethylenes; and Subvolume II/27C addresses the diamagnetic susceptibility and magnetic anisotropy of organic compounds. Subvolume II/27B specifically details the diamagnetic susceptibility of organic compounds, providing both calculated and experimental values. The calculated values utilize structural parameters from structural formulas through various theoretical methods outlined in Subvolume II/27A, alongside experimental techniques. Organic compounds are organized by gross formula using Hill’s system, and experimental diamagnetic susceptibility values are presented in both cgs and SI units.
The book addresses the significant issue of animal byproduct waste in developing countries, highlighting the lack of accessible and reliable technology for processing these materials. It compiles and updates information from earlier works, including essential topics like sanitation, hygiene, disposal of condemned materials, and treatment of slaughterhouse effluents. By providing comprehensive insights and practical solutions, it emphasizes the urgent need for action to utilize animal byproducts effectively, particularly in the developing world.
