This book, Condensed Matter and Material Physics, incorporates the work of multiple authors to enhance the theoretical as well as experimental knowledge of materials. The investigation of crystalline solids is a growing need in the electronics industry. Micro and nano transistors require an in-depth understanding of semiconductors of different groups. Amorphous materials, on the other hand, as non-equilibrium materials are widely applied in se...

One of the problems with modern public health is target searching for new highly effective medicinal preparations. Among those medicinal preparations are the natural and synthetic origins of quinazolinone-4 derivatives. Quinazolinone derivatives are reported to be physiologically and pharmacologically active. They also exhibit a wide range of activities such as anticonvulsant, antiinflammatory, antifungal, antimalarial, and sedative properties...

Chapter contents include information on: Stress analysis - strengths and limitations of traditional theoretical approaches to FRP laminate design against failure, stress corrosion cracking behavior of materials, failure analysis and durability issues.

Graphene Production and Application is a comprehensive and easy-to-understand source of information on the advances in the growing research on graphene. Written by experts in the field, this book covers ...

Nanomedicine refers to the use of nanotechnological applications in biomedical fields such as therapeutics, diagnostics, monitoring, visualization, tissue engineering and even surgery. This book presents recent updates in the nanomedicine market and discusses several aspects of drug delivery and tissue regeneration using different platforms and devices.

In view of the continuous evolution that is taking place in the field of food processing, this book aims to devise the most comprehensive presentation of up-to-date information in the specialized literature to improve existing knowledge. The chapters in this book have been divided into four sections. Section 1-Food Technologies in Food Processing-presents current technological processes used in food processing. Section 2-Quality of Raw Materia...

This book has been contrived to gather recent data on a common health problem. As breast cancer imposes a heavy burden for society due to its psychological, social and economic consequences, every step to broaden our understanding is a worthy task. The aim of this book is to provide some insights on this subject through the information given on new perspectives in genetics and diagnosis, exposed in the section on oncologic issues, as well as o...

Information technologies have changed people's lives to a great extent, and now it is almost impossible to imagine any activity that does not depend on computers in some way. Since the invention of first computer systems, people have been trying to avail computers in order to solve complex problems in various areas. Traditional methods of calculation have been replaced by computer programs that have the ability to predict the behavior of struc...

Traditional models struggle to cope with complexity, noise, and the existence of a changing environment, while Computational Intelligence (CI) offers solutions to complicated problems as well as reverse problems. The main feature of CI is adaptability, spanning the fields of machine learning and computational neuroscience. CI also comprises biologically-inspired technologies such as the intellect of swarm as part of evolutionary computation an...

This book covers topics relevant to the concept of infrastructure construction, including key requirements of development such as measuring productivity and maintenance. It presents different categories of sustainability maintenance of critical infrastructures. In addition, it presents a complex simulation model, the reconfiguration simulator, which enables evaluation of the effectiveness of resilience enhancement strategies for electric distr...

Acute diarrheal diseases (ADD) are important causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. ADD includes, among others, cholera, shigellosis, and rotavirus diarrhea. These diseases are known to cause sporadic epidemics. Cholera and shigellosis are known to even cause pandemics. The treatments of these two diseases have been simplified with the advent of oral rehydration therapy and effective antibiotics. However, development of drug resistance p...

This book presents five chapters, organised into two sections, on the latest developments in acrylate polymers materials in terms of properties, new ideas in design, synthesis and detailed applications. Section I presents three chapters on acrylate polymer properties and advanced applications such as pH dependence acrylate-derivative polyelectrolyte properties and polymer material classification as acrylic heat resistant glass and polycarbonat...

This book deals with all recent advances in clinical and laboratory aspects of assisted reproductive therapy (ART). It elaborates on innovations and developments in the field that have the potential to improve ART outcomes. Chapters cover such topics as newer techniques for evaluating sperm, DNA, and ovarian reserve, including proteomic analysis, sonoendocrinology, preparation and administration of platelet-rich plasma, and in vitro maturation...

Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) is an emerging non-invasive imaging modality that integrates the advantages of deep ultrasound penetration and high optical contrast. It provides better resolution than pure ultrasonic imaging and deeper penetration than pure optical imaging. Hence, it is opening new frontiers in diagnostic imaging. Photoacoustic Imaging - Principles, Advances and Applications, provides interested readers with the principle knowledg...

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most important thermoplastics widely applied in the fields of automobile, packaging, clothing, and plastic molding. Since J. Paul Hogan and Robert L. Banks accidentally synthesized crystalline PP in 1951, tremendous breakthroughs have been achieved and have successfully transferred PP from a discovery in the laboratory to an indispensable commodity. Along with the commercial success, progress in the "academic c...

Bioterrorism is terrorism involving the intentional dissemination of biological agents. As in biological warfare, bioterrorism agents can be viruses, fungi, bacteria, toxins, insects or any other number of naturally occurring or synthetic agents. Therefore, it can be difficult for clinicians to discriminate between an act of terrorism and a naturally occurring outbreak.Written by distinguished researchers in the field, this book examines the e...
