Identification of Microorganisms by Mass Spectrometry, Volume 169 By J. D. Winefordner(eds.)
2006 | 365 Pages | ISBN: 0471654426 | PDF | 6 MB
A multidisciplinary approach to understanding the fundamentals of mass spectrometry for bacterial analysis From chemotaxonomy to characterization of targeted proteins, Identification of Microorganisms by Mass Spectrometry provides an overview of both well-established and cutting-edge mass spectrometry techniques for identifying microorganisms. A vital tool for microbiologists, health professionals, and analytical chemists, the text is designed to help scientists select the most effective techniques for use in biomedical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, and bioterror defense applications. Since microbiological applications of mass spectrometry require a basic understanding of both microbiology and analytical chemistry, the editors have incorporated material from both disciplines so that readers from either field will come to understand the necessary principles of the other. Featuring contributions from some of the most recognized experts in both fields, this volume provides specific examples of fundamental methods as well as approaches developed in the last decade, including: * Metastable atom bombardment pyrolysis mass spectrometry * Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI) * MALDI time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) of intact bacteria * High-resolution Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) * Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry Identification of Microorganisms by Mass Spectrometry represents the most comprehensive and up-to-date work on the topic currently available. It is liberally illustrated with figures and tables and covers every aspect of spectrometric identification of microorganisms, including experimental procedures, various means of sample preparation, data analysis, and interpretation of complex mass spectral data.Content: Chapter 1 Cultural, Serological, and Genetic Methods for Identification of Bacteria (pages 1-21): John B.

Systems identification is a general term used to describe mathematical tools and algorithms that build dynamical models from measured data. Mastering System Identification in 100 Exercises takes readers step by step through a series of MATLAB exercises that teach how to measure and model linear dynamic systems in the presence of nonlinear distortions from a practical point of view. Each exercise is followed by a short discussion illustrating what lessons can be learned by the reader.The book, with its learn-by-doing approach, also includes:State-of-the-art system identification methods, with both time and frequency domain system identification methods?including the pros and cons of eachSimple writing style with numerous examples and figuresDownloadable author-programmed MATLAB files for each exercise?with detailed solutionsLarger projects that serve as potential assignmentsCovering both classic and recent measurement and identifying methods, this book will appeal to practicing engineers, scientists, and researchers, as well as master's and PhD students in electrical, mechanical, civil, and chemical engineering.Content: Chapter 1 Identification (pages 1-27): Chapter 2 Generation and Analysis of Excitation Signals (pages 29-53): Chapter 3 FRF Measurements (pages 55-90): Chapter 4 Identification of Linear Dynamic Systems (pages 91-136): Chapter 5 Best Linear Approximation of Nonlinear Systems (pages 137-181): Chapter 6 Measuring the Best Linear Approximation of a Nonlinear System (pages 183-238): Chapter 7 Identification of Parametric Models in the Presence of Nonlinear Distortions (pages 239-254):

This book presents the latest achievements in the field of theory and practice of information processing in the CNS SEMS. Recently, the task of integrating computer technologies, transmitting and storing information, monitoring and controlling objects of the physical world has become urgent. This capability is provided by Smart Electromechanical Systems (SEMS) used in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPhS). The main tasks in the field of theory and practice of SEMS are to ensure the efficiency, reliability and safety of functioning in real time. The task of obtaining reliable information about the selection environment, as well as object recognition and identification, is especially important when several SEMS interact in a group. Since in this case, it is necessary to ensure the safety and speed of the planned behavior of all members of the group.

This comprehensive text provides an excellent introduction to the state of the art in the identification of network-connected systems. It covers models and methods in detail, includes a case study showing how many of these methods are applied in adaptive optics and addresses open research questions. Specific models covered include generic modelling for MIMO LTI systems, signal flow models of dynamic networks and models of networks of local LTI systems. A variety of different identification methods are discussed, including identification of signal flow dynamics networks, subspace-like identification of multi-dimensional systems and subspace identification of local systems in an NDS. Researchers working in system identification and/or networked systems will appreciate the comprehensive overview provided, and the emphasis on algorithm design will interest those wishing to test the theory on real-life applications. This is the ideal text for researchers and graduate students interested in system identification for networked systems.

A comprehensive examination of all critical aspects of Disaster Victim Identification (DVI)As the frequency of both natural and man-made mass fatality disasters increases worldwide, the establishment of clear standards and best practices within the field of Disaster Victim identification (DVI) is of vital importance. Whereas most countries assign jurisdiction to law enforcement agencies following Interpol guidelines, DVI is the responsibility of the medical examiner and coroner in the United States.
