Research between Science, Society and Politics
The History and Scientific Development of Green ChemistryDuring large parts of its history chemistry was seen as a science of progress, admired by many. But contemporary public debates on chemistry have been quite critical, mainly for environmental reasons. Therefore is it interesting to note that in the course of the 1990s “green chemistry” emerged. The origins, scientific meaning and drivers behind the spectacular growth of that new field are the subject of "Research between Science, Society and Politics: The History and Scientific Development of Green Chemistry". The scientific character of green chemistry has been a matter of dispute since its inception. This book aims to clarify that dispute. It presents a historical analysis of its birth and evolution, with a special focus on the USA, the UK and the Netherlands and the chemical societies in these countries. The emergence of green chemistry differed from one country to another, which is analyzed and compared as well. Based on quantitative and qualitive research methods and a wide range of primary sources never studied before, this book ultimately offers a new characterization of “green chemistry”. It should be of interest to chemists, policy makers and historians & philosophers of chemistry, because "Research between Science, Society and Politics" accounts for both internal scientific as well as socio-cultural factors that played a role during the emergence and growth of green chemistry. Arjan (Johan Alfredo) Linthorst graduated in 2004 from the University of Groningen, with a specialization in physical organic chemistry. He is an experienced teacher at secondary school, with a demonstrated interest in the history of chemistry. He has published in several journals concerning chemistry, chemistry education and the history and philosophy of chemistry.

Not that kind of doctor!
How to Survive your PhDLike many jobs, stepping into a PhD comes with a whole world which can be quite overwhelming. You may be wondering where to begin, or how you are going to get through the next four to six years. While there is no one universal PhD experience, several of the same challenges and questions come up in each discipline: how to handle your research, write your dissertation, defend your PhD, and… how to deal with what happens after getting your doctor’s degree. Anouk De Ridder wrote this guide to help you get started, to have some footing through the key moments in your dissertation work. The book is based on her experiences and conversations with people from multiple disciplines and universities, but will also include the insights from experts and experienced professionals.

A Short History Of Nearly Everything
The author describes himself as a reluctant traveller, but even when he stays safely at home he can't contain his curiosity about the world around him. This title is about his quest to understand everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilization - how we got from there, being nothing at all, to here, being us.

Reference Materials in Measurement and Technology
Proceedings of the Fifth International Scientific Conference RMMT 2022The book covers in particular state-of-the-art scientific research about product quality control and related health and environmental safety topics, including human, animal and plant safety assurance issues. These conference proceedings provide contemporary information on the general theoretical, metrological and practical issues of the production and application of reference materials. Reference materials play an integral role in physical, chemical and related type of measurements, ensuring their uniformity, comparability and the validity of quantitative analysis as well as, as a result, the objectivity of decisions concerning the elimination of technical barriers in commercial and economic, scientific and technical and other spheres of cooperation. The book is intended for researchers and practitioners in the field of chemistry, metrologists, technical physics, as well as for specialists in analytical laboratories, or working for companies and organizations involved in the production, distribution and use of reference materials.

Functional and structural studies of an atypical fungal endoglucanase
The importance of studying cellulases is not limited to the acquisition of scientific knowledge, but also to the great biotechnological potential they represent. This is due to the fact that cellulose is the most abundant molecule present in nature and provides a wide range of sustainable products and processes. Many cellulase families have already been well characterized, while others remain unknown. Among the latter, family 45 of glycoside hydrolases is the least characterized family of fungal cellulases, both structurally and functionally. In this book we report the crystallographic structure of the endoglucanase V enzyme from a microorganism called Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PcCel45A). We also report the structure of this enzyme with a ligand (cellobiose). In order to study its function, we carried out studies on the enzyme's catalytic site, using site-directed mutagenesis in the main residues of the active site. This enzyme showed a structure and mechanism of action that was totally different from the other enzymes in the family.

XANES Spectroscopy and Metal Complexes
This book introduces the use of XANES spectroscopy to study metal complexes, particularly those of cobalt. After introducing the principles of the technique, the book explores cobalt coordination complexes (such as Co(NH¿)¿²¿) and cobalamines (vitamin B¿¿), analyzing their XANES spectra. It compares the characteristics of these complexes and highlights the applications of XANES in the study of metal proteins and enzymes. Finally, the book discusses the future prospects of this technique for understanding the role of metals in biological and medical systems.

Metal-Responsive Base Pair Switching of Ligand-type Uracil Nucleobases
In this thesis, the author proposes "metal-responsive base pair switching" of ligand-modified nucleobases as a novel tool for stimuli-responsive control of DNA assemblies. It is written to demonstrate broad applicability of the base pair switching in dynamic DNA nanotechnology and inspire researchers to use this technique. Based on specific interactions between ligand-type nucleobases and target metal ions, in this volume, DNA hybridization was dynamically controlled through strand displacement reactions. The base pair switching was further applied to develop metal-dependent DNA molecular machines. This novel strategy for stimuli-responsive regulation of DNA assemblies will greatly expand the scope of dynamic DNA nanotechnology. This volume uniquely features importance of elaborate molecular design based on chemistry for imparting stimuli responsiveness to DNA assemblies.
