This book presents the most commonly employed approaches in the control of bioprocesses. It discusses the role that control theory plays in understanding the mechanisms of cellular and metabolic processes, and presents key results in various fields such as dynamic modeling, dynamic properties of bioprocess models, software sensors designed for the online estimation of parameters and state varia…
Sample preparation is a pivotal part of the integral LC‐MS bioanalysis, which has been heavily employed in the determination of drugs, drug metabolites, biomarkers, and other molecules of interest in various biological matrices (e.g. fluids or tissues) for decades. It has been playing an important role in a variety of human healthcare studies, ranging from drug discovery and development, th…
A sound knowledge of the biomolecular structure aided by appropriate bioanalytical techniques is indispensable to elucidate the mechanism of action of biological macromolecules and their function at large. The present book intends to provide a good introduction and understanding on a range of biomolecular and bioanalytical cum biophysical techniques and is primarily aimed at the advanced unde…
The book starts with an overview of the single molecule/particle catalysis by introducing concisely the history of some typical study methods for single molecule/particle nanocatalysis (Chapter 1), showing the origins of all kinds of techniques for the detection of some weak signals. Then, there are individual discussions based on different detection tools. Firstly, the physical/mathematical b…

The book covers all aspects of fermentation technology such as principles, reaction kinetics, scaling up of processes, and applications. The 20 chapters written by subject matter experts are divided into two parts: Principles and Applications. In the first part subjects covered include: Modelling and kinetics of fermentation technology Sterilization techniques used in fermentation proces…
Over the past few decades the boom in the industrial sector has contributed to the release in the environment of pollutants that have no regulatory status and which may have significant impact on the health of animals and humans. These pollutants also refer as "emerging pollutants" are mostly aromatic compounds which derive from excretion of pharmaceutical, industrial effluents and municipal di…
The use of biomolecular systems for processing information, performing logic operations, computational operations, and even automata performance is a rapidly developing research area. The entire field was named with the general buzzwords, “biomolecular computing” or “biocomputing.” Exciting advances in the area include the use of various biomolecular systems including proteins/enzymes,…
