The present advanced text-cum-reference book is designed not only for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, but also for academic and industrial researchers who work with heterocyclic compounds. It presents a comprehensive account of the syntheses, reactions, properties and applications of all the most significant classes of heterocyclic compounds. Heterocyclic Chemistry has been organised in three volumes. This first volume contains seven chapters: Introduction, Nomenclature,Aromatic Heterocycles,Non-aromatic Heterocycles Heterocyclic Synthesis,Three-membered Heterocycles and Four-membered Heterocycles. Recent developments in hetero- cyclic chemistry are included. The chapter on heterocyclic synthesis presents an account of general synthetic pathways and provides an in-depth guide to synthetic methodology in heterocyclic chemistry. Subject matter is illustrated by a large number of figures and schemes. This book is a valuable tool for graduate students as well as for academic and industrial researchers in organic, medicinal, pharmaceutical, dye and agricultural chemistry.
Cetaceans inhabit oceans, seas and even some rivers throughout the world. Hearing and sound production are thought to serve crucial functions in the behavior, natural history or life cycle of all of these animals. Although difficulties in studying large aquatic animals have limited experimental auditory research on many species, knowledge about the acoustic behavior of these animals has been increasing dramatically. In this volume, experts in different areas of the field provide an overview of the bioacoustics of whales and dolphins as well as a thorough introduction to the subject for investigators of hearing in other animals. Topics covered include the structure and function of cetacean auditory systems, the unique sound production system of odontocetes, acoustic communication, psychoacoustics, echolocation and models of sound propagation.
