In order to grow replacement tissues, 3D scaffolds are widely used as a template for tissue engineering and regeneration. These scaffolds, which are typically 'seeded' with cells, support the growth of new tissues. However, in order to achieve successful tissue growth, the scaffold must meet specific requirements and are often 'functionalized' to accentuate particular properties. Functional 3D tissue engineering scaffolds: materials, technologies, and applications, is a comprehensive review of functional 3D scaffolds, providing information on the fundamentals, technologies, and applications. Part 1 focuses on the fundamentals of 3D tissue scaffolds, examining information on materials, proper...
A new frontier in our solar system opened with the discovery of the Kuiper Belt and the extensive population of icy bodies orbiting beyond Neptune. Today the study of all of these bodies, collectively referred to as trans-Neptunian objects, reveals them to be frozen time capsules from the earliest epochs of solar system formation. This new volume in the Space Science Series, with one hundred contributing authors, offers the most detailed and up-to-date picture of our solar systemÕs farthest frontier. Our understanding of trans-Neptunian objects is rapidly evolving and currently constitutes one of the most active research fields in planetary sciences. The Solar System Beyond Neptune brings the reader to the forefront of our current understanding and points the way to further advancement in the field, making it an indispensable resource for researchers and students in planetary science.
Et si quelqu'un vous en voulait à mort ? Tout le monde n'a pas le coeur à réveillonner pendant les fêtes de fin d'année. À Oxford, un incendie a réduit en cendres la maison de la famille Esmond. Parmi les décombres, les corps de deux enfants. Le plus jeune est mort, le pronostic vital de l'aîné est réservé. Que faisaient-ils seuls dans la maison ? Où est passée leur mère ? Pourquoi leur père est-il injoignable ? Voilà des vacances de Noël que l'inspecteur Fawley n'est pas prêt d'oublier ; cette affaire réveille en lui de douloureux souvenirs. Mais les flammes ne sont pas venues à bout de tous les indices, et à mesure que l'enquête progresse, son pire cauchemar devient réalité. Et si cet incendie n'avait rien d'accidentel ? « Captivant et plein de rebondissements, un roman qu'on dévore jusqu'à la dernière page. » Shari Lapena « Un véritable tour de force ! » Sunday Times « Éteignez votre téléphone et installez-vous sur le canapé. Vous ne pourrez pas reposer ce livre tant que vous n'aurez pas le fin mot de l'histoire. » The Independent

The study of comets is a field that has seen tremendous advances in recent years, far surpassing the knowledge reflected in the original Comets volume published as part of the Space Science Series in 1982. This new volume, with more than seventy contributing authors, represents the first complete overview of comet science in more than a decade and contains the most extensive collection of knowledge yet assembled in the field. Comets II situates comet science in the global context of astrophysics for the first time by beginning with a series of chapters that describe the connection between stars and planets. It continues with a presentation of the formation and evolution of planetary systems,...
