Prof. CNR Rao is a living legend. Einstein paid a compliment to Mahatma Gandhi on his 70th birthday. He said, “Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth”. On Prof. Rao’s birthday, I would repeat these words. Prof. Rao is not an individual, he is an institution, he is a phenomenon. I feel lucky that our generations could see him, touch him, feel him, experience him, learn from him and get inspired by him. I have watched Prof. Rao as a scientist, as a science leader, as a science institution builder and indeed as a leader of leaders of science. I have also watched him as a wonderful, warm-hearted hu...
The book covers innovative research and its applications in infrastructure development and related areas. This book discusses the state-of-art development, challenges and unsolved problems in the field of infrastructure/smart development, control engineering, power system infrastructure, smart infrastructure, waste management and renewable energy. The solutions discussed in this book encourage the researchers and IT professionals to put the methods into their practice.
Studies in human patients and animal models of disease suggest a strong correlation between defects in dendrite development and common neurological disorders such as autism. Much of this book is thus dedicated toward highlighting recent advances in our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate the development and maintenance of dendrites, a crucial component of neurons. The book begins by presenting the current state of knowledge on the building blocks or cell biology of dendrites. Mechanisms that sculpt the stereotypic architecture of dendritic arbors and shape their connectivity are also discussed, along with recent work describing how dendritic organization and ...
The Institution’s International Conference on Turbochargers and Turbocharging (Twickenham, London, UK, 16-17 May 2023) returns to address the latest advances, research and developments in turbocharging system designs and boosting solutions. This volume presents a peer-reviewed collection of papers which will address current and novel turbocharging system choices and components with a renewed emphasis to address the challenges posed by emission regulations and market trends. The latest developments leading to enhanced performance and efficiency, increased durability and reduced emissions in line with meeting Net-Zero and global emissions targets. Topics include: Air management in powertrain...
The fast developing field of nanomedicine uses a broad variety of materials to serve as delivery systems for drugs, genes, and diagnostic agents. This book is the first attempt to put under one cover all major available information about these materials, both still on experimental levels and already applied in patients.
The book covers four research areas: (1) Thermal and Energy Engineering, (2) Industrial Engineering and Management, (3) Computational Design and Simulations and (4) Materials and Manufacturing. Topics covered include robotics, micro-electro-mechanical systems, cryogenics, composites, and cellular and molecular biomechanics. Keywords: Green Hydrogen Economy, Renewable Energy Systems, Additive Manufacturing, Lithium-Ion Batteries, Air Pollution Control, Photothermal Material, Electric Vehicle, Cloud Computing, Wastegate Turbocharger, Machine Intelligence, Shear Deformation, Friction Stir Welding, Biogas Production, Green Combustion.
The Handbook of Green and Sustainable Nanotechnology presents sustainable and green technologies for the development of products and processes which are environmental friendly, economically sustainable, safe, energy-efficient, decrease waste and diminish greenhouse gas emissions. It provides the overall spectrum of fundamentals, development and applications of sustainable and green technologies. Topics such as legal, health and safety issues are discussed as well. The book elucidates paths to real time utilization of green and sustainable nanotechnology at commercial scale.
HIV/AIDS continues to be one of the most challenging individual and public health concerns of the present day. According to the UNAIDS, nearly 38 million individuals were living with the infection by the end of 2018, while 1.7 million new cases occurred during that same year. In spite of the numerous advances in the development and delivery of antiretroviral agents, both for treatment and prevention, several challenges remain. This book includes original research and review articles on innovative strategies and approaches for the formulation and delivery of anti-HIV drugs, including genetic material and other biopharmaceuticals. Different local and systemic delivery strategies are addressed based on different technologies intended for oral, transdermal, subcutaneous, vaginal, or rectal administration. Authored by eminent scientists in academia and nonprofit organizations involved in the development of antiretroviral drug products, this collection provides useful information for all those involved in HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention.
