Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions

Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions describes the basic and essential applications of quantitative structure–activity relationships (QSARs) for regulatory or industrial scientists who need to predict metal ion bioactivity. It includes 194 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion toxicity and 86 QSARs that have been used to predict metal ion bioconcentration biosorption and binding. It is an excellent sourcebook for academic industrial and government scientists and policy makers and provides a wealth of information on the biological and chemical activities of metal ions as they impact health and the environment. Fundamental QSARs for Metal Ions was designed for regulatory and regulated organizations that need to use QSARs to predict metal ion bioactivity as they now do for organic chemicals. It has the potential to eliminate resources to test the toxicity of metal ions or to promulgate regulations that require toxicity testing of metal ions because the book illustrates how to construct QSARs to predict metal ion toxicity. In addition the book:Provides a historical perspective and introduction to developing QSARs for metal ionsExplains the electronic structures and atomic parameters of metals essential to understanding differences in chemical properties that influence cation toxicity bioconcentration biosorption and bindingDescribes the chemical properties of metals that are used to develop QSARs for metal ionsIllustrates the descriptors needed to develop metal ion-ligand binding QSARsDiscusses 280 QSARs for metal ions Explains the differences between QSARs for metal ions and Biotic Ligand ModelsLists the regulatory limits of metals and provides examples of regulatory applicationsIllustrates how to construct QSARs for metal ionsDr. John D.

Metal Toxicology Handbook

Metal Toxicology Handbook

Heavy metals and metalloids singly or in combination induce toxic manifestations either through acute or chronic pathology. In particular long-term chronic exposure to diverse heavy metals and metalloids to humans and animals can lead to numerous physical muscular neurological nephrological and diverse degenerative diseases and dysfunctions including multiple sclerosis muscular dystrophy Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases cardiovascular disorders and several others. Recognized heavy metals such as lead mercury arsenic cadmium thallium and hexavalent chromium are known for enormous toxicity. The immediate vital signs of acute heavy metal exposure include nausea vomiting diarrhea and acute abdominal pain. Mercury has been identified as the most toxic heavy metal and mercury poisoning is known as acrodynia or pink disease. Similarly lead another toxic heavy metal was at one time an integral part of painting. Metal Toxicology Handbook further explains and discusses the varying attributes of metals discussing toxicity safety and proper human utilization of metals. Beginning with a broad overview of metals metalloids redox biology and neurodegeneration and going further into the roles benefits and toxicity of metals with each section the text contains 28 chapters from eminent researchers and scientists in their respective fields and is a must-have for anyone researching the potential toxicity in metals. Key Features Discusses the pathology of metal toxicity Highlights the benefits of metals Explains the mechanism and salient features of restoring metabolic homeostasis Highlights dose-dependent beneficial and adverse effects of vanadium safety and toxicity The initial introductory section provides a broad overview of metals metalloids redox biology and neurodegeneration. The second section discusses the pathology of metal toxicity in two chapters while the third section highlights the mechanism and salient features of restoring metabolic homeostasis in two chapters.

Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation

Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation

The knowledge of metal ion speciation is essential for predicting the exact toxicities of metal ion species in the environment. Metal ions can exist in various oxidation states each of which possesses different physical and chemical properties as well as exhibit varying toxicities. Often toxicity data is unreliable because it is based on metal ion concentration measurements that fail to identify a dominant species either more or less harmful than the average. Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation provides analytical techniques and experimental methodologies for determining the concentration of the different physicochemical forms of metal ions in environmental and biological samples leading to more accurate measurements of actual toxicity. The authors introduce the principles of metal ion speciation and discuss important analytical techniques such as gas and liquid chromatography capillary electrophoresis and both electrochemical and radiochemical methods used to determine concentration and composition. They present a range of liquid chromatographic approaches including capillary electrochromatography and high-performance ion ion pair micellar electrokinetic size exclusion chiral and supercritical fluid chromatographies for all metal ion species. Comprehensive in scope the text covers the sources distribution toxicity biotransformation and biodegradation of each metal ions species as well as extraction methods sample preparation and experimental optimization techniques that can be useful in designing future experiments. Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation is a unique and valuable source of reference for scientists academics and researchers involved in analytical biological pharmaceutical and environmental chemistries as well as material industries geochemistry agriculture biotechnology and occupational safety and regulations.

Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing

Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast-growing sector with the ability to evoke a revolution in manufacturing due to its almost unlimited design freedom and its capability to produce personalised parts locally and with efficient material use. AM companies however still face technological challenges such as limited precision due to shrinkage built-in stresses and limited process stability and robustness. Moreover often post-processing is needed due to high roughness and remaining porosity. Qualified trained personnel are also in short supply. In recent years there have been dramatic improvements in AM design methods process control post-processing material properties and material range. However if AM is going to gain a significant market share it must be developed into a true precision manufacturing method. The production of precision parts relies on three principles: Production is robust (i. e. all sensitive parameters can be controlled). Production is predictable (for example the shrinkage that occurs is acceptable because it can be predicted and compensated in the design). Parts are measurable (as without metrology accuracy repeatability and quality assurance cannot be known). AM of metals is inherently a high-energy process with many sensitive and inter-related process parameters making it susceptible to thermal distortions defects and process drift. The complete modelling of these processes is beyond current computational power and novel methods are needed to practicably predict performance and inform design. In addition metal AM produces highly textured surfaces and complex surface features that stretch the limits of contemporary metrology. With so many factors to consider there is a significant shortage of background material on how to inject precision into AM processes. Shortage in such material is an important barrier for a wider uptake of advanced manufacturing technologies and a comprehensive book is thus needed. This book aims to inform the reader how to improve the precision of metal AM processes by tackling the three principles of robustness predictability and metrology and by developing computer-aided engineering methods that empower rather than limit AM design. Richard Leach is a professor in metrology at the University of Nottingham and heads up the Manufacturing Metrology Team. Prior to this position he was at the National Physical Laboratory from 1990 to 2014. His primary love is instrument building from concept to final installation and his current interests are the dimensional measurement of precision and additive manufactured structures. His research themes include the measurement of surface topography the development of methods for measuring 3D structures the development of methods for controlling large surfaces to high resolution in industrial applications and the traceability of X-ray computed tomography. He is a leader of several professional societies and a visiting professor at Loughborough University and the Harbin Institute of Technology.
