Carr investigates the cultural impact of the availability of these easy-to-come-by weapons. This cultural dynamic has a direct, and deadly impact on issues such as arms control, illegal and illicit trading, gun cultures, the nexus between criminality and militia warfare and the social impact of arms proliferation, and the struggle for weak states who attempt to govern. The case studies will appeal to those with regional or comparative interests.

The first parts of the book review and analyze the conventional treatments of fixed charges (e.g. in polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes), including screening and condensation by mobile ions. The interaction of ions with less polar sites on the macromolecule (e.g. amide bonds), and the origin of the lyotropic effects (focusing on binding versus condensation) will also be extensively addressed. The book also explores complex micellar organizations involving charged macromolecules (e.g. DNA) and low-molecular-weight ampholytes and strong protein associations. The resulting structures are relevant to a variety of functional biological systems and synthetic analogs. The contribution of electrostatic and hydrophobic interaction to the stability of proteins and other supramolecular structures will also be analyzed. There are chapters on applications such as deionization and cosmetic formulation.This 21-chapter book is divided into three sections: Fundamentals Mixed Interactions Functions and Applications "--Provided by publisher.MacromoleculesIon-ion collisionsSupramolecular chemistryMacromolecules.Ion-ion collisions.Supramolecular chemistry.547/.7045723SCI013030bisacshCiferri A19362Perico Angelo1696538MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910827600103321Ionic interactions in natural and synthetic macromolecules4076560UNINA
