This book provides a coherent analysis of viable cell immobilization, an emerging technology spanning a number of disciplines. Using detailed examples drawn from a variety of commerically-relevant large-scale fermentation reactions, the book covers both the practical and theoretical aspects of this technology. The authors discuss progress in the design of immobilized cell reactors, emphasizing mixing, fluidization characteristics and carrier stability. Mathematical models and results from computer simulations describe the dynamic behavior of viable cells and their intra-particle distribution, including micro-colony formation. As an aid to the reader, the authors have included examples drawn from their own practical research into biomass support particle (BSP) technology. Key Features* Provides a critical re-appraisal of already available material and sets new information in an historical context* Addressses both the theoretical and practical aspects of the technology* Includes a practical discussion of technology and its merits* Disseminates results from biomass support particle (BSP) technology

Alastair Cooke's Letter from America: 1946-2004 is a defining collection from his legendary BBC Radio broadcasts that guides us through nearly sixty years of changing life in the United States. Alistair Cooke's Letter from America interpreted nearly sixty years of changing US life for the rest of the world. Covering key moments from the assassination of Kennedy through Vietnam and Watergate to September 11, Iraq and anticipating the 2004 elections, this book provides a defining collection of Letters from his legendary BBC Radio 4 broadcasts. Encompassing portraits of the great and the good from Charlie Chaplin to Martin Luther King and topics as varied as civil rights, golf, jazz and the changing colours of a New England fall, each Letter contributes a captivating portrait of a nation - and of a man. 'Cooke was the special relationship' Daily Mail 'Such experience, wisdom and education are unlikely ever again to combine in one journalist' Mark Lawson 'There is never going to be anyone else like Cooke, a chronicler of amazing times' Daily Telegraph 'The range of Cooke's experiences was awesome but he always had the personal touch' Jeremy Vine 'No one else succeeded in explaining to the English-speaking world ... the idiosyncrasies of a country at once so familiar, and yet so utterly foreign' Independent Alistair Cooke (1908-2004) enjoyed an extraordinary life in print, radio and television. The Guardian's Senior Correspondent in New York for twenty-five years and the host of groundbreaking cultural programmes on American television and of the BBC series America, Cooke was, however, best known both at home and abroad for his weekly BBC broadcast Letter from America, which reported on fifty-eight years of US life, was heard over five continents and totalled 2,869 broadcasts before his retirement in February 2004, far and away the longest-running radio series in broadcasting history.

Laser Physics (Oxford Master Series in Physics)

In Laser Physics the interaction of radiation and matter, and the principles of laser operation are treated at a level suitable for fourth-year undergraduate courses or introductory graduate courses in physics, chemistry or engineering. The factors which determine efficiency, wavelength coverage, output power, and beam quality of the different classes of laser are treated both in terms of fundamental theory and practical construction aspects. Details of established types of solid-state, semiconductor, and gas lasers are examined together with the techniques that enable their output to be converted widely across the spectrum. The latest advances in high power fibre lasers, femtosecond lasers, and X-ray lasers are explained. The text is liberally illustrated with more than 300 diagrams. An extensive bibliography is provided, together with numerical problems in each chapter. Solutions are available via the web.To request a copy of the Solutions Manual, visit: http://global.oup.com/uk/academic/physics/admin/solutions

The unnerving price of petroleum will push a major  change from a petroleum based economy to a natural feedstock based economy.  Bestowed with all the essential nutrients necessary for microbial growth and being  the predominant crop in the UK, wheat can be suitable candidate to provide this  renewable feedstock. A process has been developed in the University of Manchester, UK, to convert the essential nutrients  in wheat to a microbially accessible wheat based fermentation feedstock. At the same  time, in response to the increasing concerns over the environment, the objective of this project is to  establish a novel process to produce a biodegradable plastic, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)  from the wheat based fermentation feedstock.The technical feasibility of PHB  production from the wheat based fermentation feedstock, has been demonstrated by the results  presented in this book.
