A Primer on Trace Metal- Sediment Chemistry

In most aquatic systems, concentrations of trace metals in suspended sediment and the top few centimeters of bottom sediment are far greater than concentrations of trace metals dissolved in the water column. Consequently, the distribution, transport, and availability of these constituents can not be intelligently evaluated, nor can their environmental impact be determined or predicted solely th...

Drug discovery chemistry: a primer for the non-specialist.

Like all scientific disciplines, drug discovery chemistry is rife with terminology and methodology that can seem intractable to those outside the sphere of synthetic chemistry. Derived from a successful in-house workshop, this Foundation Review aims to demystify some of this inherent terminology, providing the non-specialist with a general insight into the nomenclature, terminology and workflow...

A Primer on Metagenomics

Metagenomics is a discipline that enables the genomic study of uncultured microorganisms. Faster, cheaper sequencing technologies and the ability to sequence uncultured microbes sampled directly from their habitats are expanding and transforming our view of the microbial world. Distilling meaningful information from the millions of new genomic sequences presents a serious challenge to bioinform...

Primer on Alcoholism

publication estimates that there are 86,000 chronic cases in England and Wales. Mrs. Marty Mann's book is a heroic attempt to rouse public opinion and to provide helpful information for all those whose profession leads them into contact with alcoholics.
