Calculation Methods for Industrial Hygiene Written in easy-to-understand language, students as well as practicing environmental health professionals will find that problem solving becomes a sixth sense after using Calculation Methods for Industrial Hygiene. Calculation Methods begins with a discussion of the fundamental units of mass, length, and time, and moves on to develop an understanding of the fundamental physical chemistry of gases and vapors — enabling environmental health professionals to develop new methods to solve "real world problems." Understanding of algebraic methods is the cornerstone upon which the author builds a common foundation for problem solving. After working through this book the reader will be able to:Employ dimensional analysis in solving problemsDevelop computational skills using a rigorous scientific basisIntegrate basic principles of physical chemistry with industrial hygiene, toxicology, and air pollution studiesDevelop exposure assessment dataValidate exposure assessmentsA technical and laboratory reference manual on physical chemistry and calculation techniques used in industrial hygiene and toxicology, Calculation Methods for Industrial Hygiene pays meticulous attention to the use of dimensions to solve complex problems with minimal errors. Over 180 examples and problems are completely solved and explained.

Calculations in Chemistry is intended to help students overcome the challenges associated with solving the numerical problems in chemistry. Chemistry is a numerical science which cannot be fully appreciated without adequate numerical skills. In fact, the lack of problem-solving skills has been recognised as one of the major reasons for the poor performance recorded in the subject over the years. Budgetary and size constraints often translate to lack of space for solving enough sample problems in core textbooks and most problems are presented in a difficult manner that douses enthusiasm for learning. Thus, a book of this nature, containing numerous solved problems drawn from all aspects of chemistry, is necessary to complement the core texts if students are to attain the required level of mastery in the subject. Meant specifically for students studying chemistry at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, this book presents the calculations in chemistry in a simple, logical and down-to-earth manner that will impart students with the required numerical skills for excelling in chemistry. wide topical coverage clear, concise introductions that explain basic principles and theoretical basis for each type of calculation numerous representative examples practice problems and answers to test what has been explained end-of-chapter summary that gives a checklist of key terms and concepts numerous exercises, including objective questions, with answers exhaustive coverage of the mole concept use of SI units and IUPAC conventions it assumes little or no prior knowledge of chemistry and mathematics comprehensive treatment of quantitative analysis appendices that supply useful information

"It will be the basic aim of this book," writes Peter J. Bridge, "to impart to the reader the fundamentals of how we start with laboratory results and end up with numbers representing genetic risks." This practical guide for both clinical and research geneticists explains how to calculate an individual's genetic risk based on information available from genetic testing and from family pedigrees. Bridge begins with the general theory of estimating genetic risks, then progresses through familial and isolated cases, both simple and complex. A major strength of the book lies in the wealth of worked examples provided throughout the text. The disorders are selected to be widely applicable or adaptable as needed.New to this edition are sections on consanguinity, multipoint linkage analysis, nonparametric methods, homozygosity mapping, and physical mapping. Also new is a chapter on other DNA-based calculations, including sections on paternity, zygosity, family reconstructions, and quantification of mitochondrial mutations.From reviews of the first edition: "To use a computer package intelligently and safely, you need to have in reserve the ability to do the calculation by hand, at least approximately, so as to appreciate which factors contribute to the risk. And the current computer packages cannot cope with several factors which can crucially affect the final risk, such as germinal mosaicism or the risk of maternal cell contamination... Bridge's book is very thorough. Every combination of pedigree structure and marker data is discussed, with numerous tables showing the result of systematically varying one or more parameters." -- Journal of Medical Genetics"A useful reference book." -- American Journal of Human Genetics

Calculations for Molecular Biology and Biotechnology: A Guide to Mathematics in the Laboratory, Second Edition, provides an introduction to the myriad of laboratory calculations used in molecular biology and biotechnology. The book begins by discussing the use of scientific notation and metric prefixes, which require the use of exponents and an understanding of significant digits. It explains the mathematics involved in making solutions; the characteristics of cell growth; the multiplicity of infection; and the quantification of nucleic acids. It includes chapters that deal with the mathematics involved in the use of radioisotopes in nucleic acid research; the synthesis of oligonucleotides; the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method; and the development of recombinant DNA technology. Protein quantification and the assessment of protein activity are also discussed, along with the centrifugation method and applications of PCR in forensics and paternity testing.Topics range from basic scientific notations to complex subjects like nucleic acid chemistry and recombinant DNA technologyEach chapter includes a brief explanation of the concept and covers necessary definitions, theory and rationale for each type of calculationRecent applications of the procedures and computations in clinical, academic, industrial and basic research laboratories are cited throughout the text New to this Edition: Updated and increased coverage of real time PCR and the mathematics used to measure gene expressionMore sample problems in every chapter for readers to practice concepts

A research-backed learning system for preparatory chemistry that systematically reinforces both the fundamental concepts and math skills that are prerequisites for success in general chemistry. Recent research has documented that in K–12 programs over the past decade, instruction in math computation has been de-emphasized. Calculations in Chemistry addresses these gaps in student background, applying the findings of recent scientific research on cognition, fluency in applied mathematics, and reading comprehension, to prepare students for the rigor and pace of general chemistry.

Have there been times during a chess game when you have calculated a position for half an hour, only to find out that most of what you were thinking about was of little use? If you have not, maybe the only way to improve your calculation is to upgrade your processor. But if you are human, then this book will offer you practical advice and an effective training plan to think differently and make decisions far more efficiently. In Calculation thinking methods such as Candidates, Combinations, Prophylaxis, Comparison, Elimination, Intermediate Moves, Imagination and Traps are explained to the reader, and ownership of them is offered through a carefully selected series of exercises.There is no shortcut to the grandmaster title, but there is a well-known route that many people have walked over the years. Jacob offers to guide you on part of this journey and I hope you will take him up on the offer. From the foreword by Boris Gelfand
