• Sommario/riassunto: The present volume is the work of 25 scholars who represent various specializations important to the study of the Qur'an, including Arabic ; language, comparative Semitic linguistics, paleography, epigraphy, history, rhetorical theory, hermeneutics, and Biblical studies. The starting point of this work was a series of five international conferences on the Qur'an at the University of Notre Dame over the academic year 2012-13, although the commentaries contributed during those conferences have been carefully edited to avoid repetition. Readers of The Qur'an Seminar Commentary will find that the 50 passages selected for inclusion in this work include many of the most important and influential elements of the Qur'an, including: - Q 1, al-Fatiha- Q 2:30-39, the angelic prostration before Adam- Q 2:255, the "Throne Verse"- Q 3:7, the muhkamat and mutashabihat- Q 4:3, polygamy and monogamy- Q 5:112-15, the table (al-ma'ida) from heaven- Q 9:29, fighting the People of the Book and the jizya- Q 12, the story of Joseph- Q 24:45, the "Light Verse"- Q 33:40, the "seal of the prophets"- Q 53, the "satanic verses"- Q 96, including the passage often described as the "first revelation"- Q 97, the "night of qadr"- Q 105, the "Companions of the Elephant"- Q 112, on God and the denial of a divine son The collaborative nature of this work, which involves a wide range of scholars discussing the same passages from different perspectives, offers readers with an unprecedented diversity of insights on the Qur'anic text.

• Sommario/riassunto: This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity. Introducing the principles, practice and applications of mass spectrometric techniques in the study of natural substances in foods, this book conveys the depth and breadth of modern mass spectrometry in relation to food analysis. It covers traditional techniques such as electron and chemical ionisation and newer soft ionisation techniques such as matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation and electrospray. All of these techniques are especially relevant in food quality and safety studies and in biopolymer analysis. The ability to analyse biopolymers by mass spectrometry is having a major impact on the study of food structure components, food proteins, food pathogens and food ; components produced from genetically modified organisms. The principles and practice of mass spectrometry are covered in the early chapters and are followed by applications in flavour analysis and the determination of non-nutrient, biologically-active, natural substances in foods. The analysis and metabolic studies of amino acids, peptides, proteins, lipids, sugars, carbohydrates and vitamins is also discussed, with separate chapters on mineral and micronutrient metabolism and techniques of pyrolysis mass spectrometry. Mass Spectrometry of Natural Substances in Food will be a valuable resource for food scientists, food analysts and others working in food research, nutrition and safety.
