in our understanding of the chemistry and function of
nutritional components. This has been enhanced by rapid
developments in analytical techniques and instrumentation.
Chemists, food scientists and nutritionists are however
separated by divergent skills, and professional disciplines.
Hitherto this transdisciplinary divide has been difficult to
bridge. This series Food and Nutritional Components in
Focus covers in a single volume the chemistry, analysis,
function and effects of single components in the diet or its
food matrix. Its aim is to bridge scientific disciplines so that
information becomes more meaningful and applicable to
health in general.

Cross-relaxation and Cross-correlation
Parameters in NMR
book
Molecular Interactions
Daniel Canet, Universite de Lorraine, France
Spin relaxation parameters, although difficult to interpret, are attracting interest in NMR as these
parameters are capable of yielding both structural and dynamic information. For example, contrast
in MRI is obtained through spin relaxation of the water protons in biological tissues. Cross-relaxation
and cross-correlation parameters afford a non-ambiguous approach to molecular structure and
dynamics although they require some special skills for their experimental determination and for
their exploitation. This work will provide a detailed account of cross-relaxation and cross-correlation
which would be timely and fill a gap in the present NMR literature for the analytical scientist.

Non-conventional NMR Detection
Methods
book
Xin Zhou, Wuhan Center for Magnetic Resonance, China
NMR and MRI have been applied to various disciplines, but the sensitivity of NMR is intrinsically
lower comparing to other analytical or imaging methods. This has caused many non-conventional
developments looking at improving NMR sensitivity, such as SQUID (Superconducting QUantum
Interference Device), atomic magnetometer, MRFM (Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy) and
remote detection. The NMR detection threshold has been largely boosted by these methods,
resulting in the emergence of novel applications. This book will describe the recent advances
in non-conventional NMR detection methods and their applications, and also summarize the
challenges facing the next generation of users. Aimed at both academia and industry, readers
should buy this publication to broaden their knowledge beyond conventional NMR.

Surface Chemistry and the Sensor
Non-Specific Adsorption Problem
book
Jean-Francois Masson, University of Montreal, Canada | Michael Thompson, University of Toronto,
Canada
Biosensor and chemical sensor technology has been the subject of much research over many
years. However, use of the technology in complex samples such as found in clinical diagnostics
(blood, serum, urine, tissue) and military detection (environmental contaminant) is very limited. The
reason for this lies in selectivity, or lack thereof, of device response. This property is governed by the
chemistry of device-immobilized probe (antibody, enzyme, aptamer etc) and role of non-specific
attachment of interferants to the sensor surface. This book presents a comprehensive treatment
of the issues surrounding the fouling of surfaces as the phenomenon pertains to applications in
various sectors of bioanalytical science.

Corrosion Chemistry
Faraday Discussions
Over the last decade or so, there has been immense progress in the development of tools,
both experimental and theoretical, for probing the solid/fluid interface at the nanoscale. These
advances open the way towards mechanistic understanding, and potentially prediction, of
chemical processes occurring at this interface. Amongst the fields beginning to benefit from such
effort is corrosion science, which is primarily concerned with degradation of metallic materials
immersed in either liquid or gaseous environments, and control thereof. Corrosion science does
not always attract the plaudits of other more fashionable subjects, but is nevertheless of huge
strategic importance. This statement is increasingly true as we move towards a world where
every atom counts, e.g. in maintaining the performance of nano-devices, as well for ensuring
sustainability through optimum use of natural resources. This title brings together experimentalists
and theoreticians concerned with understanding at the nanoscale interfacial chemical processes
relevant to corrosion and its control.

Faraday Discussions
Nanoparticle Synthesis and Assembly
Faraday Discussions
Nanoparticles can be viewed as a new type of ‘atom’ with size dependent physical, optical and
electronic properties that make them suitable for a wide variety of applications. There are many
open questions in the field of nanoparticle synthesis and assembly. For example: How does the
nanoparticle-nanoparticle potential govern nanoparticle formation or assembly? Can one design
a nanoparticle from the ground up, according to theoretical predictions, which will self-assemble
into a given nanoparticle superlattice structure? How does the assembly process vary with
nanoparticle shape and the ligand coating which surrounds each nanoparticle? These questions
cannot be answered in isolation. A successful attack on these difficult questions and others requires
the coordinated and collaborative effects of nanoparticle theorists, synthesizers, and assemblers.
This title brings together a diverse group of scientists to deliberate the latest developments in
nanoparticle theory, synthesis and assembly in order to generate new ideas and engender new
collaborations between these groups.

Nanoplasmonics
Faraday Discussions
Recent advances in nanofabrication and subwavelength optical characterisation have led to
significant new advances in plasmonics. In addition to traditional top-down nanofabrication
techniques, chemical-based fabrication has emerged as an inexpensive and viable alternative
with electrochemical and self-organisation methods for fabrication of plasmonic nanoparticles
and extended plasmonic structures. This title will focus on areas where progress is expected
to have a most significant impact on a whole area of nanoplasmonics and on commercial
exploitation. Aiming to highlight the most recent breakthroughs in this multidisciplinary field and
providing different perspectives of physicists, chemists and biologists, it will connect the various
subdisciplines in the field and define the most challenging problems for the future.

Next-Generation Materials for Energy
Chemistry
Faraday Discussions
The development of renewable, low cost, high performance energy technologies is a key scientific
challenge for the 21st century. Many of these energy applications involve numerous dynamic
energy and mass transfer processes at the length scale of sub-nanometers to micrometers that
require the collaborative participation of various functional material components. To create
efficient, stable and reproducible energy systems, effective integration of material components
from atomic, molecular, nano to meso-scale is crucial. However, the most challenging aspect is to
integrate the required components together while optimising the performance of each component
and even creating new synergetic effects. In the past decade, considerable research attention
has been devoted to the fabrication of single-length scale / component materials for energy
applications. This title will centre on discussing how individual functional components at different
length scale can be effectively integrated into next-generation energy materials. Aimed at today’s
experimentalists and theoreticians, chemists, physicists and materials scientists, this book will crossboundaries and discuss energy-related information.

Nucleation - a Transition State to the
Directed Assembly of Materials
Faraday Discussions
The crystallisation phase transformation process and the resulting creation of crystalline materials
from liquid phase precursors are central to the science and process engineering of materials in
their broadest sense. Crystallisation involves two distinct stages: nucleation and growth. Due to the
nano-scale size domain within which the nucleation process functions it is a much less understood
process compared to the growth process. As a result, elucidating the fundamental physics and
chemistry that govern the formation and structure of the nucleation supra-molecular transition
state remains one of the truly unresolved 'grand challenges' of the physical sciences. This book
brings together the growing body of theoretical and experimental work from both the academic
and industrial spheres in order to assess recent progress, highlight on-going challenges in the
domain area and route-map future work still needed.

Solid Oxide Electrolysis: Fuels and
Feedstocks from Water and Air
Faraday Discussions
There is great interest in converting electricity overcapacity, e.g. from renewables, to fuels such
as hydrogen and synthetic gasoline or for the conversion of nitrogen to ammonia. Solid Oxide
Electrolysis offers a high efficiency route to these conversions utilising technology similar to Solid
Oxide Fuel Cells that have recently achieved commercial impact in the US and Japan at 100 kW
and 1 kW scales, respectively. There are quite significant differences between electrolysis and fuel
cell operation and fundamental aspects of electrolysis have received little attention. Thus, this is a
topic of critical current interest that could yield a new clean chemical industry and indeed allow
greater harvesting of renewables by storing excess in a more useful and higher energy density form
than electricity. This book brings together electrochemists, solid state chemists, materials scientists,
catalysis chemists, and chemical engineers to discuss the fundamental aspects of solid oxide
electrolysis.

Temporally and Spatially Resolved
Molecular Science
Faraday Discussions
Recently crystallography and spectroscopy have reached a level of experimental sophistication and
theoretical and computational advancements such that it is possible to understand the structure
of even the most complex molecular systems, such as, proteins. The modern generation of
synchrotrons and the powerful free electron lasers (X-FEL) offer new opportunities and exciting
challenges in structural science, but they will require a coordinated approach of complementary
methods if they are to achieve maximum impact. Researchers are constantly improving technical
and computational methods to accelerate and automate characterisation processes and this is
crucial to the fields to be explored in this book. Bringing together world experts in computational,
crystallographic, spectroscopic, chemical, biological and numerous characterisation methods, this
title will promote new interdisciplinary research and complementary approaches and techniques in
the rapidly emerging areas of 'time resolved studies', leading to a greater overall understanding of
structural dynamics.

Recommendations 2014
Georges Férard, Formerly University of Strasbourg, France | René Dybkaer, Frederiksberg Hospital,
Denmark | Xavier Fuentes-Arderiu, Clinical Laboratory Sciences Consulting, Spain
There has been significant expansion and development in clinical laboratories sciences since the
previous edition of this book was published in 1995. Some new disciplines have appeared and
the interrelationships between different disciplines within clinical laboratory sciences demand a
common structure and language for data exchange in the laboratory and with the clinicians. It is
of prime importance to standardize laboratory reports for reliable exchange of patient examination
data without loss of meaning or accuracy. For that, it is important to promote the unified format
developed by IUPAC and IFCC. This book groups and updates the recommendations and will be
appropriate for laboratory scientists, medical professionals and students in this area.
