Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the results of an interlaboratory study carried out to determine the catalytic (activity) concentration in SRM 909, a lyophilized human serum, of seven enzymes: prostatic acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, creatine kinase, LDH and gamma-glutamyltransferase. The book provides a description of the round robin study, a summary of the statistical analysis of the results, and the values for the catalytic concentrations assigned to the analyte activities in SRM 909. Separate teams of clinical chemistry experts selected and carried out the analyses for the individual enzymes, following reference measurement protocols, with the exception that the reaction temperature set-point of °C (the gallium melting point) was used. The reference methods used are primarily those recommended by the Standards Committees of the AACC and/or the IEGG as candidate reference methods. The book describes the serum reconstitution protocol, the specific enzyme methods, and the results of the third (and last) round of the interlaboratory test program, which the author used to derive mean values for enzyme catalytic (activity) concentrations in SRM 909. The catalytic (activity) concentration values given in this publication are consensus values, obtained from data submitted by the cooperating laboratories. They are provided for information; Full recognition should be given to G. N. Bowers, Jr. for coordinating the scientific activities, to J. P. Cali for planning and organizational contributions, and to R. Schaffer for special editorial contributions. Special recognition is also given to the 28 scientists who dedicated their time and talents to providing the analytical data that resulted in a successful project. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Mangos, Chiles, and Truckers illuminates how local groups and individuals engage the global world and capitalism in creative ways. Robert Alvarez analyzes how the produce and trucking industries in Mexico affect the organization of work, community, and social space for miles on either side of the international border. Taking an ethnographic approach, Alvarez focuses on the impact transnational economic policies like NAFTA have had on growers of mangos and chiles in Mexico, those who transport the produce across the U.S.-Mexico border, and the immigrant communities receiving these goods in the United States. Contrary to common perceptions in postnational studies, Alvarez shows how the nation-state enacts and connects with the transnational, crossing borders in ways that underwrite new technology and trade. Emphasizing the importance and control of the nation-state in the global process, Mangos, Chiles, and Truckers demonstrates how people make meaning as they struggle with the economic circumstances of their lives, creating cultural traditions and giving new value to old customs and practices. Robert R. Alvarez Jr. is professor of ethnic studies at the University of California, San Diego. George Lipsitz is professor of American studies at the University of California, Santa Cruz. 176 pp. Englisch.…
