After the drug discovery and development process, designing suitable formulations to safely deliver the optimum dose, while avoiding side effects, has been a constant challenge, especially when drugs are very toxic and have poor solubility and undesirable clearance profiles. With recent advances in synthetic technologies, nanoparticles can be custom-made from a variety of advanced materials to mimic the bioenvironment and can be equipped with various targeting and imaging moieties for site-specific delivery and real-time imaging. Drug Delivery Using Nanomaterials covers advancements in the field of nanoparticle-based drug-delivery systems, along with all the aspects needed for a successful a...

Grippe, rougeole, gastro-entérite… Tout au long de notre vie, des virus croisent régulièrement notre route. D’autres, comme Zika, H1N1 et Ebola, font la une des journaux. Dans cet ouvrage, la grande variété des virus est décrite ainsi que leurs modes de transmission et les processus de multiplication mis en œuvre. Nous comprendrons pourquoi ils rendent malades et parfois tuent, mais aussi comment nous pouvons les combattre et même nous en servir pour lutter contre d’autres maladies.
Détérioration des monuments historiques, effondrements de ponts et structures métalliques, fuites de liquides et produits toxiques, contamination des denrées alimentaires… Les coupables ? Des microorganismes. Qui sont-ils ? Par quels mécanismes parviennent-ils à ces dégradations ? Quels sont les risques, les enjeux et les coûts induits ? C’est ce que ce petit livre vous dévoilera.

When Coca-Cola was introduced in France in the late 1940s, the country's most prestigious newspaper warned that Coke threatened France's cultural landscape. This is one of the examples cited in Richard Kuisel's engaging exploration of France's response to American influence after World War II. In analyzing early French resistance and then the gradual adaptation to all things American that evolved by the mid-1980s, he offers an intriguing study of national identity and the protection of cultural boundaries. The French have historically struggled against Americanization in order to safeguard "Frenchness." What would happen to the French way of life if gaining American prosperity brought vulgar...
