Content: The audio amplifier is at the heart of audio design. Its performance determines largely the performance of any audio system. John Linsley Hood is widely regarded as the finest audio designer around, and pioneered design in the post-valve era. His mastery of audio technology extends from valves to the latest techniques. This is John Linsley Hood's greatest work yet, describing the milestones that have marked the development of audio amplifiers since the earliest days to the latest systems.Including classic amps with valves at their heart and exciting new designs using the latest

Content: As the second leading bacterial cause of community-acquired pneumonia, H. influenzae accounts for many thousands of deaths per year worldwide, and is a prime candidate for the identification of targets that can lead to the development of novel vaccines and antibiotics. In Haemophilus influenzae Protocols, leading research scientists and infectious disease specialists detail in a readily reproducible format the major molecular and immunological techniques for exploring the pathogenicity of this significant bacterium. Described with step-by-step instructions to ensure robust and successful experimental results, the techniques cover plasmid analysis, proteomics, genomics, DNA array technology, gene expression, mutagenesis (transposon and nontransposon), and structural analysis. The antibody techniques presented include IVIAT, ELISA, and opsonophagocytosis assays. Also included are reviews of the pathogenesis of NTHi and Hib, methods for working with the organism, culture and storage conditions, molecular diagnosis, and systems for exploring pathogenesis in both in vitro and animal models. Comprehensive and highly practical, Haemophilus influenzae Protocols offers a unique collection of powerful molecular methods that illuminate not only how the bacterium causes disease, but also how best to develop much-needed new vaccines and antibiotics against it.
