Crc Press (T&F) Practical Aspects of Trapped Ion Mass Spectrometry Vol 5 by Raymond E March
Widely used in medical research, pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industries, biological and physical sciences, and security and environmental agencies, mass spectrometry techniques are continually under development. In Practical Aspects of Trapped Ion Mass Spectrometry: Volume V, Applications of Ion Trapping Devices, an international panel of authors presents a world-wide view of the practical aspects of recent progress using trapped ion devices.In contrast to previous texts, which have concentrated generally on a single or limited range of ion trapping techniques, a key feature of this compilation of contributions is its coverage of all the ion trapping techniques currently in use. Spanning sixteen chapters, the text examines:Ion/neutral and ion/ion reactionsStructural characterization of proteins and peptides using quadrupole ion trap mass spectrometry, Fourier transform – ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry, and traveling wave ion mobility mass spectrometryIon spectroscopy and electron diffractionConformational analysis of protein isobaric charge statesPractical examples of trapped-ion technology that reflect the wide diversity of applications of trapped-ion devicesThis text is the first detailed account of the application of new and established mass spectrometric techniques utilizing trapped or confined ions for prolonged investigation and increased sensitivity. Each chapter contains complete references and utilizes a consistent format and writing style, with all terms, acronyms, procedures, and equations thoroughly explained. The strong editorial input to the diverse sections enables readers to readily appreciate the commonalities of topics ranging from theory of instrument operation to proteins, flavonoids, atomic clocks, and single ion mass spectrometry.Series Editors - Clive Dimmock, Mark Brundrett and Les BellAs global pressures focus increasing attention on the outcomes of education policy and on their implications for economic prosperity and social citizenship, the experience of each individual learner is decisively shaped by the wider policy environment. However, there is often an underdeveloped understanding of how education policy is formed, what drives it and how it impacts on schools and colleges. This book explicitly makes these connections and links them to the wider challenges of educational leadership in a modern context.Education Policy is divided into three sections, which examine:the development of policy at the levels of the nation state and individual institutionsthe forces that shape policies with emphasis on human capital theory, citizenship and social justice and accountabilityresearch-based case studies highlighting the application of policy in a range of situations.The book provides a valuable resource for students, practitioners, middle managers and educational leaders in all sectors, both in the UK and internationally, who are engaged on masters and doctoral degrees, or undertaking leadership training and preparation programmes.
