This book sheds new light on the use of nanoparticles in the fields of parasitology and public and animal health. Nanotechnology has been used in many fields of research and in practical applications. A special subgroup is represented by the so-called nanobiotechnology, which is a multidisciplinary integration of biotechnology, nanotechnology, chemical processing, material science and engineering. In the fields of parasitology and public and animal health this technology has been used to develop systems, wherein acaricides and insecticides are included. This technique avoids direct contact of the hosts of parasites (animals, humans) with the insecticides/acaricides and thus minimizes effe...
Methylene blue (MB) is a biocompatible and environmentally friendly material that has been widely used in clinical and biomedical research fields for over a century. In addition, it also has wide applications in other fields, such as dyeing and finishing industry, aquaculture industry, photocatalysis and food industry.This landmark publication is unique as it covers MB-mediated in vivo fluorescence, photoacoustic imaging and light-induced cancer therapy. The optical properties and photothermal effect of MB are also systematically described.
Defect-Induced Magnetism in Oxide Semiconductors provides an overview of the latest advances in defect engineering to create new magnetic materials and enable new technological applications. First, the book introduces the mechanisms, behavior, and theory of magnetism in oxide semiconductors and reviews the methods of inducing magnetism in these materials. Then, strategies such as pulsed laser deposition and RF sputtering to grow oxide nanostructured materials with induced magnetism are discussed. This is followed by a review of the most relevant postdeposition methods to induce magnetism in oxide semiconductors including annealing, ion irradiation, and ion implantation. Examples of defect-in...
Advances in technology have enabled medicinal chemists to discover and formulate several highly specific, biocompatible, and non-toxic therapeutic agents for clinical applications. Nanotechnology has achieved significant progress in the last few decades and is crucial in every field of science and technology. Nanotechnology-based pharmaceuticals offer multifaceted and alternative methodologies in comparison to the limitations of many conventional clinical therapies. Expertise in designing and developing nanoformulations has helped in targeted drug delivery. Recently, the use of innovative therapeutic agents, particularly in nanomedicine, has accounted for a significant portion of the global ...
Well known experts in the field of Chronobiology from around the world, provide an integrative view of the state of the art of circadian biology. At present, genetic and epigenetic interaction of regulatory pathways among circadian oscillators, metabolic networks, cellular differentiation and neuronal communication are subject of intense scrutiny. The book is organized in three sections: The first includes selected examples of the circadian systems of crustaceans, insects, fish, birds and mammals. The second is a detailed view of the physiological mechanisms underlying the circadian clocks in mammals. Finally, in the third section some examples of the relevance of circadian biology and circa...
This book is a good guide for doctors, researchers and students in connection with the latest research and treatment developments in the fields of infectious disease. This book is based on the latest medical articles.
Green nanomaterials are in great demand as natural substitutes to conventional chemical-based, eco-toxic materials in fabricating numerous eco-friendly products that are biodegradable and biocompatible and eco-benign for a plethora of applications in biomedicine, textiles, agriculture, and many other industries. This new book, Sustainable Green Nanomaterials: Synthesis, Characterization, and Engineering Applications, presents an overview of fabrication, testing, and utility of green nanomaterials in sustainable agriculture, smart drug delivery, wastewater treatment, and healthcare. The first section of the book is devoted to the synthesis, characterization, and general applications of green ...
This book explains how stress – either psychological or physical – can activate and/or paralyse human innate or adaptive immunity. Adequate immunity is crucial for maintaining health, both on Earth and in space. During space flight, human physiology is specifically challenged by complex environmental stressors, which are most pronounced during lunar or interplanetary missions. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, the book identifies the impact of these stressors – the space exposome – on immunity as a result of (dys-)functions of specific cells, organs and organ networks. These conditions (e.g. gravitation changes, radiation, isolation/confinement) affect immunity, but at the same...
