Polymer translocation occurs in many biological and biotechnological phenomena where electrically charged polymer molecules move through narrow spaces in crowded environments. Unraveling the rich phenomenology of polymer translocation requires a grasp of modern concepts of polymer physics and polyelectrolyte behavior. Polymer Translocation discusses universal features of polymer translocations and summarizes the key concepts of polyelectrolyte structures, electrolyte solutions, ionic flow, mobility of charged macromolecules, polymer capture by pores, and threading of macromolecules through pores.With approximately 150 illustrations and 850 equations, the book: Avoids heavy mathematicsUses examples to illustrate the richness of the phenomenonIntroduces the entropic barrier idea behind polymer translocationOutlines conceptual components necessary for a molecular understanding of polymer translocationProvides mathematical formulas for the various quantities pertinent to polymer translocation The challenge in understanding the complex behavior of translocation of polyelectrolyte molecules arises from three long-range forces due to chain connectivity, electrostatic interactions, and hydrodynamic interactions. Polymer Translocation provides an overview of fundamentals, established experimental facts, and important concepts necessary to understand polymer translocation. Readers will gain detailed strategies for applying these concepts and formulas to the design of new experiments.

Analytical Techniques in Meat Science is a comprehensive compilation of all the relevant methodologies for the quality analysis of meat. The content of the book is designed to cater to requirement of meat producers, regulatory agencies, researchers, students, teachers, laboratory staff etc. It covers techniques for physico-chemical analysis, speciesidentification and microbiological examination of meat. Also, it contains the latest biotechnological and proteomic techniques for meat quality evaluation. To help the reader understand better figures, tables, line diagrams, etc are used frequently whenever needed. Some important pictures are given in plates for lucid and clear understanding of theconcept.Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
