This book is intended to be an introduction to medical statistics but one which is not too
mathematical—in fact has the absolute minimum of maths. The exceptions however are Chapters
17 and 18, on linear and logistic regression. It’s really impossible to provide material on
these procedures without some maths, and I hesitated about including them at all. However
they are such useful and widely used techniques, particularly logistic regression and its production
of odds ratios, that I felt they must go in. Of course you don’t have to read them. It
should appeal to anyone training orworking in the health care arena—whatever their particular
discipline—who wants a simple, not-too-technical introduction to the subject. I have aimed
the book at:

  • students doing either a first degree or diploma in health care-related courses
  • students doing postgraduate health care studies
  • health care professionals doing professional and membership examinations
  • health care professionals who want to brush up on some medical statistics generally, or who want a simple reminder of one particular topic
  • anybody else who wants to know a bit of what medical statistics is about.

Edition: Seventh (Original Print)

Size: 8.2 MB



The 7th edition of Modern Food Microbiology, like previous editions, focuses on the general biology of the microorganisms that are found in foods. All but one of the 31 chapters have been extensively revised and updated. The new material in this edition includes over 80 new bacterial and 10 new genera of fungi. This title is suitable for use in a second or subsequent course in a microbiology curriculum, or as a primary food microbiology course in a food science or food technology curriculum. Although organic chemistry is a desirable prerequisite, it is not necessary for one to get a good grasp of most of the topics covered. When used as a microbiology text, the following sequence may be used. A synopsis of the information in Chapter 1 will provide students with a sense of the historical developments that have shaped this discipline and how it continues to evolve. Memorization of the many dates and events is not recommended since much of this information is presented again in the respective chapters. The material in Chapter 2 includes a synopsis of modern methods currently used to classify bacteria, taxonomic schemes for yeasts and molds, and brief information on the genera of bacteria and fungi encountered in foods. This material may be combined with the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of growth in Chapter 3 as they exist in food products and as they affect the common foodborne organisms. Chapters 4 to 9 deal with specific food products, and they may be covered to the extent desired with appropriate reviews of the relevant topics in Chapter 3. Chapters 10 to 12 cover methods for culturing and identifying foodborne organisms and/or their products, and these topics may be dealt with in this sequence or just before foodborne pathogens. The food protection methods in Chapters 13 to 19 include some information that goes beyond the usual scope of a second course, but the principles that underlie each of these methods should be covered. Chapters 20 and 21 deal with food sanitation, indicator organisms, HACCP, and FSO systems; and coverage of these topics is suggested before dealing with the pathogens. Chapters 22 to 31 deal with the known (and suspected) foodborne pathogens including their biology and methods of control. Chapter 22 is intended to provide an overview of the chapters that follow. Some of it includes ways in which foodborne pathogens differ from nonpathogens, their behavior in biofilms, and some information on the known roles of sigma factors and quorum sensing among foodborne organisms. The other material in this chapter that deals with the mechanisms of pathogenesis is probably best dealt with when the specific pathogens are covered in their respective chapters. The new Appendix section presents a simplified scheme for grouping foodborne and some general environmental bacterial genera by use of Gram, oxidase, and calalase reactions along with colony pigmentation.

For most semester courses with a 3-credit lecture and accompanying 2 or 3 credit laboratory, only about 65-70% of the material in this text is likely to be covered. The remainder is meant for reference puiposes. The following individuals assisted us by critiquing various parts or sections of this edition, and we extend special thanks to each: B. P. Hedlund, K. E. Kesterson, J. Q. Shen, and H. H.Wang. Those who
assisted with the previous six editions are acknowledged in the respective editions.

It is one of the prominent and prestigious autonomous self-degree-awarding institute in the engineering education of Bangladesh. This Institute was created out of Engineering College, Chittagong that was established in 1968. The Chittagong Engineering College functioned as the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Chittagong. Through a Government ordinance in 1986, the college was converted into an Institute of Technology. In 2003 this institute of technology was converted into a public university. The honorable President of Bangladesh is the Chancellor of the University.

Chittagong University Of Engineering & Technology abbreviated as CUET, is one of the prominent and prestigious degree awarding institute in the engineering education of Bangladesh. This University was created out of Engineering College, Chittagong, that was established in 1968. The Engineering College , Chittagong , functioned as the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Chittagong. Though a Government Ordinance in 1986 the college was converted into an institution (BIT, Chittagong).The honorable President of Bangladesh is the visitor of the institute . A Board of Governors headed by a Chairman appointed by the President is the policy making and administrative authority. There were three other similar Institutes of Technology in the country namely BIT Khulna, BIT Rajshahi and BIT Dhaka that are converted to Khulna University Of Engineering, Rajshashi University Of Engineering & Technology(RUET) & Technology(KUET),Dhaka University Of Engineering & Technology(DUET)

CUET is unique and incompatible due to its proximity to Chittagong, the major sea-port and the beautiful Hill city of the country. The University is situated by the side of the Chittagong-Kaptai road some 25 kilometers off from the center of Chittagong City. Moreover all the tourist attractions of the country like the large hydroelectric plant, the natural beauty of the lake of Kaptai, hill sports of Rangamati, Bandarban, the longest sea beach of the world and tourist resort of Cox's Bazar are only a few hours journey.



The University offers undergraduate and post-graduate degrees in

MODERN BIOTECHNOLOGY


Writer: Nathan S. Mosier
               Michael R. Ladisch

Biotechnology has enabled the development of lifesaving biopharmaceuticals, deciphering
of the human genome, and production of bioproducts using environmentally
friendly methods based on microbial fermentations. The science on which
modern biotechnology is based began to emerge in the late 1970s, when recombinant
microorganisms began to be used for making high -value proteins and peptides
for biopharmaceutical applications. This effort evolved into the production of some
key lifesaving proteins and the development of monoclonal antibodies that subsequently
have provedn to be effective molecules in the fi ght against cancer. In the
late 1980s and early 1990s biotechnology found further application in sequencing
of the human genome, and with it, sequencing of genomes of many organisms
important for agriculture, industrial manufacture, and medicine.
The human genome was sequenced by 2003. At about the same time the
realization developed that our dependence on petroleum and other fossil fuels was
beginning to have economic consequences that would affect every sector of our
economy as well as the global climate. Modern biotechnology began to be applied
in developing advanced enzymes for converting cellulosic materials to fermentable
sugars. The process engineering to improve grain -to-ethanol plants and the rapid
buildout of an expanded ethanol industry began. This provided the renewable liquid
fuels in small but signifi cant quantities.
Thus biology has become an integral part of the engineering toolbox through
biotechnology that enables the production of biomolecules and bioproducts using
methods that were previously not feasible or at scales previously thought impossible.
We decided to develop this textbook that addresses modern biotechnology in engineering.
We started with the many excellent concepts described by our colleagues
by addressing bioprocess engineering and biochemical engineering from a fundamental
perspective. We felt that a text was needed to address applications while at
the same time introduce engineering and agriculture students to new concepts in
biotechnology and its application for making useful products. As we developed the
textbook and the course in which this textbook has been used, the integration of
fundamental biology, molecular biology, and some aspects of genetics started to
become more common in many undergraduate curricula. This further expanded the utility of an application -based approach for introducing students to biotechnology.
This book presents case studies of applications of modern biotechnology in the
innovation process that has led to more effi cient enzymes and better understanding
of microbial metabolism to redirect it to maximize production of useful products.
Scaling up biotechnology so that large quantities of fermentation products could be
produced in an economic manner is the bridge between the laboratory and broader
society use.
This textbook takes the approach of giving examples or case studies of how
biotechnology is applied on a large scale, followed by discussion of fundamentals
in biology, biochemistry, and enzyme or microbial reaction engineering. Innovations
in these areas have occurred at an astounding rate since the mid -1990s. The current
text attempts to connect the innovations that have occurred in molecular biology,
microbiology, and biochemistry to the engineering fundamentals that are employed
to scale up the production of bioproducts and biofuels using microorganisms and
biochemical catalysts with enhanced properties.
The approach that we take treats microorganisms as living biocatalysts, and
examines how the principles that affect the activity of microorganisms and enzymes
are used in determining the appropriate scaleup correlations and for analyzing performance
of living and nonliving biocatalysts on a large scale. Our textbook will
hopefully provide the basis on which new processes might be developed, and suffi -
cient background for students who wish to transition to the fi eld and continue to
grow with the developments of modern biotechnology industry. While we cannot
hope to teach all the fundamentals that are required to cover the broad range of
products that are derived using biotechnology, we do attempt to address the key
factors that relate engineering characteristics to the basic understanding of biotechnology
applied on a large scale.

GOLD CHEMISTRY

For few elements the chemistry has recently undergone such an explosive growth as for gold. This is the more surprising since the chemistry of this element had been dormant during most of the 19th and 20th century when the chemistry of most other elements developed rapidly or at least with a steady pace. In the last three decades, however, the number of reports on significant advances in gold chemistry is increasing at such a rate that scientists interested in this field are already in a need of periodical reviews which critically summarize and highlight the most important contributions. Several publishers have reacted to this situation and a series of overviews dedicated to special subjects, and even special issues of periodicals and books with a more general scope have appeared at shorter and shorter intervals. Meanwhile a growing share of these reviews is dedicated to specific applications of the many new findings in gold chemistry, which naturally have been the most powerful incentives for the worldwide research activities. At least in number, these application-oriented investigations have overruled already the curiosity-driven fundamental scientific studies. The symbiotic and synergistic nature of ‘‘pure and applied gold chemistry’’ turned out to be extremely fruitful and successful. The discovery of the unexpected activity of particulate gold in heterogeneous catalysis – observed e. g. in important reactions like the low-temperature oxidation of carbon monoxide or in the activation of olefins – was soon followed by work which provided clear evidence for a similar efficacy of gold salts in homogeneous catalysis. 

There is now a plethora of new protocols in organic synthesis with key steps based on a wide range of highly active and selective gold catalysts, which still keeps growing rapidly. Another research area where gold and its compounds have widened the scope very considerably is the chemistry of complexes with specific photophysical properties. From early observations it had been known that various mono- and polynuclear gold complexes, aggregates and clusters are often strongly luminescent. Physicochemical scrutiny has since provided a much better understanding of the underlying effects and thus this chemistry could be developed into a promising source of components for LEDs, OLEDs and other devices. Even the transition from photonic towards electrogenerated chemiluminescence has also recently been accomplished. In XIII addition, this work has been closely related to research activities dedicated to the development on gold chemistry-based meso-phases (liquid crystals) and NLO materials, where this metal can offer many advantages over established systems. 

Simple gold flakes and more sophisticated gold preparations have played a role in pharmacy and medicine for millennia, and some well-defined complexes have much later indeed been established as potent drugs for the treatment of rheumatoid and arthritic deceases. Following the observations in platinum chemistry, in more recent years there have been positive results also regarding the usage of gold complexes for the treatment of cancer and other deseases, and pertinent investigations are consequently still or again an area of active research. The most rapid growth of gold chemistry is currently observed in nanoparticle technology. Gold nanoparticles in all shapes and sizes are employed in many areas, as diverse as electrochemistry and electronics, photophysics, biochemistry, biology, and medicine. Moreover, self-assembly of monolayers of gold compounds on surfaces has provided surface scientists with an ideal playground for all sorts of investigations at interfaces.

The present volume reflects most of these active areas of research in articles written by some of the leading scientist who themselves have been pioneers in, or contributed to their particular fields of interest. It is very fortunate that articles have also been included which give status reports on the underlying fields of current fundamental research. From these it can be easily extracted that theoretical chemistry has meanwhile contributed enormously to a better understanding of the special effects that are characteristic of gold chemistry. It is also becoming obvious that in coordination chemistry the interest has slowly shifted from standard phosphorus and sulfur ligands to components with carbon and nitrogen donor centers, viz. carbenes, arenes and N-heterocycles, respectively. After a long period during which gold(I) complexes were in the focus of research, renewed attention has also recently been paid to compounds of gold in its higher oxidation states, mainly owing to advantages in catalytic activity and to novel photophysical effects. This collection will therefore be a very valuable source of information and inspiration for all those who proudly call themselves gold chemists already, but also will attract others to this still adolescent division of chemistry.

Summary of the Book


Intelligence Analyst Rachel Sexton is in her mid-thirties, is single, and works for the NRO (National Reconnaissance Office). Her father, Senator Sedgewick Sexton, is a presidential candidate who is more popular than incumbent President of the United States Zachary Herney. The President sends her to the Arctic as part of a team of experts to confirm and authenticate findings made by NASA deep within the Milne Ice Shelf. NASA's new Polar Orbiting Density Scanner (PODS), part of the Earth Observation System (EOS), a collection of satellites monitoring the globe for signs of large-scale change, has found an extremely dense spot in the Milne Ice Shelf. At this spot NASA discovers a very dense meteorite. In it are insect fossils very similar to, but not the same as, species on earth. NASA claims this as proof of extraterrestrial life.

The find is something NASA needs in the light of recent failures. Senator Sexton uses these failures as an example of government overspending to further his campaign; he wants to abolish NASA and direct the funding toward public schools instead. In order to ensure that the discovery is not tarnished by the reputation that NASA has developed, the President sends four leading civilian scientists (Michael Tolland, a famous oceanographer and TV personality; Corky Marlinson, a brilliant but eccentric astrophysicist; Norah Mangor, a prickly glaciologist and Wailee Ming, a palaeontologist) to the Arctic to verify the meteorite's authenticity.

A Delta MNVAS Force team is also observing the discovery, monitoring the NASA staff for an unknown commander. Ming observes an irregularity within the pit from which the meteorite was extracted. He reaches into the water to obtain a sample and falls in due to an attack by microbots operated by the Delta Force team. He soon drowns to the bottom of the pit.

When Tolland sees the irregularity, he shares it with Corky Marlinson and Rachel Sexton. They report it to Mangor, who confirms that there is sea water in what should be a closed area with only freshwater. The four go outside to scan the ice from a distance. The scan shows Ming's body in the water and a column of frozen sea ice beneath the meteorite where it was drilled up into the glacier. Upon discovering this, the four are attacked by the Delta Force team, leaving Norah Mangor dead. Sexton, Tolland and Marlinson escape and are picked up by the Navy submarine USS Charlotte. The Delta Force team believes them to be dead, leaving the scientists a chance to tell the President's advisor and Rachel's boss at the NRO about their discovery, and the subsequent attack. Rachel's boss, NRO director William Pickering, has them airlifted from the sub to a chopper which escorts them away from the meteorite discovery site.

Eventually, the Senator Sexton's true motive for wanting to abolish NASA is revealed to be his work for the interests of private corporations from the Space Frontier Foundation, who wish to profit off of space exploration in the event that NASA is dismantled. Rachel is unaware of this, and believes that the President and NASA are part of the conspiracy to kill them. If so, their motive would be to cover up evidence that the meteorite is fake and solely designed to gain support for the incumbent President in the upcoming election. Aboard Tolland's ship off the New Jersey coast, where the Delta Force arrives via helicopter to kill them, Rachel sends a fax message to her father asking for help.

Sexton, Tolland, and Marlinson work together to kill the Delta Force squad in self-defense. Rachel is surprised to see Pickering emerging from the helicopter, revealing that he is the commander of the Delta Force squad. He tells Rachel about her father's true motivations for becoming President, and that he (Pickering) masterminded the fake meteorite to hurt Senator Sexton's campaign, protecting the American people in his eyes. When the President sent the civilian team to verify the authenticity of the meteorite, Pickering realized that they would discover his plot and that they needed to be eliminated at all costs. Rachel attempts to reason with Pickering, saying that murder is not a justifiable way of solving the problem. Pickering, however, says that he is "sacrificing a few to save many", and that he will finish the job personally. Pickering shoots at the three with an machine gun, but they manage to get off of the ship. The helicopter slides off the ship into the sea, sinking to the bottom. When the intense heat at the bottom ignites the Tomahawk Missiles still on the helicopter, it tears the existent magma plume at the bottom of the sea, creating a water vortex. The ship is sucked in by the vortex, and Pickering is implied to have been killed in the wreck.

Senator Sexton then reads the fax message his daughter sent him to the public, possibly incriminating the President and NASA. However, the truth eventually comes to light about Senator Sexton's ulterior motives and Pickering's meteorite plot, securing Zachary Herney a second term as President.

By the end of the story, Michael and Rachel have developed a romantic relationship.
