Lectins, inhibitors of digestive enzymes, tannins, phytates, ?-galactosides, antivitamins and many other low molecular weight components in foodstuffs are called antinutrients because they have a negative impact on the nutritional value of diets containing them. Legumes are a rich source of these compounds. However, with proper storage, heat treatment, soaking, germinating and cooking most of the antinutritional effects can be eliminated or substantially reduced.

Guanosine and its derivatives have a high potential for self-recognition and self-assembly, as well as the recognition ability for other biologically important molecules. This book explores in detail these properties with the goal of increasing knowledge of the basic principles of guanosine-assembly, synthesis of new optimised materials and exploration of their electronic and optical properties.

COST Action TU1001 on Public Private Partnerships in Transport: Trends & Theory (P3T3) ends its Annual Discussion Papers with this volume offering in total 22 Country Profiles and 45 Case Studies encouraging cross-comparisons. Once again readers are challenged to answer the “why”, “what”, “who” and “which-way” issues of Public Private Partnerships in transport and wonder about their evolution.

COST 516 Tribology, symposium, Espoo, Finland, 14-15 May 1998.

Authored by a European team of leaders in the field, this book compiles innovative approaches for C-X bond forming processes frequently applied in organic synthesis. It covers all key types of catalysis, including homogeneous, heterogeneous, and organocatalysis, as well as mechanistic and computational studies. Special attention is focused on the improvement of efficiency and sustainability of important catalytic processes, such as selective oxidations, hydrogenation and cross-coupling reactions.

The result is a valuable resource for both advanced researchers in academia and industry, as well as graduate students in organic chemistry aiming for chemo-, regio- or stereoselective synthesis of organic compounds using novel catalytic systems.
