Millions of patients travel abroad every year, and the number of trips around the world to benefit from health services is increasing. The high level of global demand for health services has influenced the rapid development of the tourism industry. Many destinations providing high-quality healthcare services at low prices have emerged. Due to these developments in the industry, the health tourism market, one of the fastest growing markets, has emerged. Countries operating in the industry are also striving to increase their market shares. Therefore, it is important to understand the dynamics of this global phenomenon. Global Perspectives on the Opportunities and Future Directions of Health To...
This book is the first to provide a comprehensive review of recent progress and challenges in the risk assessment of nanomaterials by empirical and computational techniques.
Polymeric and hybrid nanoparticles have received increased scientific interest in terms of basic research as well as commercial applications, promising a variety of uses for nanostructures in fields including bionanotechnology and medicine. Condensing the relevant research into a comprehensive reference, Polymer and Polymer-Hybrid Nanoparticles: From Synthesis to Biomedical Applications covers an array of topics from synthetic procedures and macromolecular design to possible biomedical applications of nanoparticles and materials based on original and unique polymers. The book presents a well-rounded picture of objects ranging from simple polymeric micelles to complex hybrid polymer-based nan...
BIOMIMICRY MATERIALS AND APPLICATIONS Since the concept of biomimetics was first developed in 1950, the practical applications of biomimetic materials have created a revolution from biotechnology to medicine and most industrial domains, and are the future of commercial work in nearly all fields. Biomimetic materials are basically synthetic materials or man-made materials which can mimic or copy the properties of natural materials. Scientists have created a revolution by mimicking natural polymers through semi-synthetic or fully synthetic methods. There are different methods to mimic a material, such as copying form and shape, copying the process, and finally mimicking at an ecosystem level. ...
Environmental analysis techniques have advanced due to the use of nanotechnologies in improving the detection sensitivity and miniaturization of the devices in analytical procedures. These allow for developments such as increases in analyte concentration, the removal of interfering species and improvements in the detection limits. Bridging a gap in the literature, this book uniquely brings together state-of-the-art research in the applications of novel nanomaterials to each of the classical components of environmental analysis, namely sample preparation and extraction, separation and identification by spectroscopic techniques. Special attention is paid to those approaches that are considered greener and reduce the cost of the analysis process both in terms of chemicals and time consumption. Advanced undergraduates, graduates and researchers at the forefront of environmental science and engineering will find this book a good source of information. It will also help regulators, decision makers, surveillance agencies and the organizations assessing the impact of pollutants on the environment.
Covers such subjects as: Ab initio and Density functional theory calculations of electric polarizability and hyperpolarizability, intermolecular forces, aromaticity, electric properties of solvated molecules, NLO materials, Raman intensities, polarizability of metal and semiconductor clusters, relativistic effects on electric properties, and more.
Covalent organic frameworks-based nanomaterials have emerged as promising candidates for energy applications owing to their superior electrochemical properties, surface area, nano-device integration, multifunctionality, printability, and mechanical flexibility. This book provides fundamentals, various synthesis approaches, and applications of covalent organic frameworks-based nanomaterials and their composites for generating energy. The main objective of this book is to provide current, state-of-the-art knowledge about covalent organic frameworks-based nanomaterials and their composites for supercapacitors, batteries, photovoltaics, and fuel cells, covering almost the entire spectrum in the energy field under one title. Aimed at widening our fundamental understanding of covalent organic frameworks and mechanisms for realization and advancement in devices with improved energy efficiency and high storage capacity, this book will provide new directions for scientists, researchers, and students to better understand the principles, technologies, and applications of covalent organic frameworks.
Within the context of global health challenges posed by intractable neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, the significance of early diagnosis is critical for effective intervention, and scientists continue to discover new methods of detection. However, actual diagnosis goes beyond detection to include a significant analysis of combined data for many cases, which presents a challenge of several complicated calculations. Deep Learning Approaches for Early Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Diseases stands as a groundbreaking work at the intersection of artificial intelligence and neuroscience. The book orchestrates a symphony of cutting-edge techniques and progressions in ea...
Any time objects and their (self-)organization are to be put into use, their models and methods of thinking as well as their designing and manufacturing need to be reinvented. 4D printing is a future technology that is capable of bringing 3D objects to life. This ability, which gives objects the power to change shape or properties over time through energy stimulation from active materials and additive manufacturing, makes it possible to envisage technological breakthroughs while challenging the relationship between people and objects. 4D Printing 1 presents the different facets of this technology, providing an objective, critical and even disruptive viewpoint to enable its existence and development, and to stimulate the creative drive that industry, society and humanity need in the perpetual quest for evolution and transformation.
