Andie, with an ie


Book Description

Andie had no idea that when her mother left her and her brothers at such a young age, it would have such a profound effect on the rest of their lives—but apparently it did. Now all grown up, the siblings find their broken little family is closer than ever, with one exception: Andie has found a new life in Jesus, much to the chagrin of her brothers. Struggling to share her newfound beliefs with her brothers, Andie feels trapped between the world she once knew and the new one she’s chosen. She worries if her fumbling new faith will send them further away from the God she knows and loves. Then, when not one, but two potential male companions enter her life, Andie faces some life-altering questions. How does dating for a new Christian work? How much does age matter in a relationship? Will she ever be able to overcome her aversion to children? And what role does God play in all of it? Join Andie as she navigates her way through her relationships with God, her brothers, and her love interests, and then as a family crisis brings them all together in the end.

Environmentally Friendly Alkylphosphonate Herbicides


Book Description

This book presents essential research on a class of environmentally friendly alkylphosphonate herbicides. This class of herbicides acted as a competitive inhibitor of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHc) to control weeds. The bioreasoning and systematic approach, from basic research to field tests of candidate compounds, are introduced. The basic research covers the molecular design, chemical synthesis, biological activities evaluation, structure-activity relationship analysis and structural optimization. Subsequently, the book reviews the biochemistry of PDHc inhibitors, the selectivity between mammals and plants, and the mechanism of herbicidal activity of novel alkylphosphonates as selective PDHc inhibitors. Field trials for selected alkylphosphonate candidates as herbicides are also included. This book provides a sound basis for the rational design and development of novel herbicides as effective PDHc inhibitors with good enzyme-selective inhibition of plant PDHc between mammals and plants. These studies take full advantages of the low toxicity and low residual impact of selective PHDc inhibitors to design an effective and environmentally friendly herbicide. This book is based on twenty years of research on alkylphosphonates and phosphorus-containing PDHc inhibitors, and demonstrates how to develop these PDHc inhibitors as an effective and “green” herbicide candidate. Hong-Wu He, PhD, is a Professor at the Key Laboratory of Pesticide & Chemical Biology, Ministry of Education of China, and Director of the Institute of Pesticide Chemistry, College of Chemistry, Central China Normal University, China. Hao Peng, PhD, and Xiao-Song Tan are both Associate Professors at the Key Laboratory of Pesticide & Chemical Biology, Ministry of Education of China, College of Chemistry, Central China Normal University, China.







Here For You


Book Description
