Nanocarriers for Drug Delivery
This book covers basic aspects of different nanoparticles, including type of materials, lipid, polymeric and inorganic structures, synthesis strategies, as well as the main physicochemical characterization techniques. Moreover, this book addresses applications for both treatment and diagnosis of diseases, highlighting in vitro and in vivo findings and clinical evaluation. The chapters highlight the main barriers for drug delivery which can benefit from nanoencapsulation: the topical and oral routes. The main innovations in the field, such as gene therapy and functionalization of nanoparticles with a variety of moieties, including monoclonal antibodies for selective delivery, are discussed and illustrated with examples. Finally, the application of nanoparticles for drug delivery to cancer is reviewed considering toxicology and regulatory aspects.
Scale Development
In the Fourth Edition of Scale Development, Robert F. DeVellis demystifies measurement by emphasizing a logical rather than strictly mathematical understanding of concepts. The text supports readers in comprehending newer approaches to measurement, comparing them to classical approaches, and grasping more clearly the relative merits of each. This edition addresses new topics pertinent to modern measurement approaches and includes additional exercises and topics for class discussion. Available with Perusall—an eBook that makes it easier to prepare for class Perusall is an award-winning eBook platform featuring social annotation tools that allow students and instructors to collaboratively mark up and discuss their SAGE textbook. Backed by research and supported by technological innovations developed at Harvard University, this process of learning through collaborative annotation keeps your students engaged and makes teaching easier and more effective.

New Aspects of the Renin Angiotensin System in Cardiovascular and Renal Diseases
The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) is a hormonal system that is responsible for regulating plasma sodium ion concentration and arterial blood pressure in the body. The system involves several peptides such as angiotensin I and II as well as angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to enable the constriction of arterial blood vessels in the lung. Angiotensin II also stimulates the production of the hormone aldosterone in the kidneys which brings sodium ions into the bloodstream in exchange for potassium ions. Malfunctions of the RAS can lead to hypertension, heart failure, diabetes and renal complications. Thus the biochemical components of this system serve as important targets for therapeutic dr...

Ecology and Conservation of Mountaintop grasslands in Brazil
This book is a pioneer attempt to bring forward the first synthesis on the most diverse and threatened mountain top vegetation of South America, the rupestrian grasslands. It brings to light the state of the art information on this ecosystem geology, soil formation and distribution, environmental filters that lead to biodiversity, species interactions and their fine tuned adaptations to survive the harsh mountain environment. The human dimensions of the rupestrian grassland are also addressed, including the anthropogenic threats that may irreversibly impact biodiversity and ecosystem services. The book also highlights the ongoing studies on ecological restoration and first attempt to model the impacts of climate change on its speciose biota.

Juliana Condessa Stroganoff
Forçada a exilar-se em 1808, Juliana de Almeida Oeynhausen, a terceira filha da marquesa de Alorna, parecia condenada às agruras da emigração e à tristeza de um casamento infeliz. Contudo, dotada de um espírito vivo e inconformista, conseguiu libertar-se de constrangimentos sociais e familiares, vencer a adversidade e conquistar a sua independência e felicidade. As suas qualidades de mulher ilustrada e cosmopolita, foram conhecidas e apreciadas por grandes figuras da Europa de então com quem teve a oportunidade de privar: a rainha Vitória de Inglaterra, o imperador da Alemanha, e os czares Nicolau i e Alexandre ii da Rússia. A surpreendente e colorida história da sua vida, que uma investigação profunda e exaustiva permitiu trazer agora a público, foi esquecida e deturpada nos alvores do século xx e, desde então, a sua memória tem sido injustamente enxovalhada. Porém, como disse um diplomata português seu contemporâneo «não se pode fazer mais honra do que ela fez sempre ao nome português». Deixou abundantes provas disso mesmo em São Petersburgo, na Rússia, onde viveu os últimos anos da sua vida, como condessa Stroganoff.
