South Vietnam, Trial and Experience
Preface by Douglas Pike Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, former Minister of Finance of the Republic of South Vietnam, addresses a common perception of Vietnam: that South Vietnam was a fragmented society which did not deserve to succeed because of its internal weaknesses. According to Tuan, however, South Vietnam in the last decade of its life developed considerable governmental cohesion and internal social strength. Before the final failure of will, the South and its defenders were well on the way to becoming a viable society that had managed with American assistance to lift itself by its bootstraps to the point to economic take-off. Tuan argues that South Vietnam's fall was not inevitable. This controversial book will be of great interest to all those concerned with the Vietnamese experience during the period 1954-1975.
Vietnam in History and Transformation
This volume "Vietnam in History and Transformation: Selected Readings" has been the first ever collection of papers written by the faculty of VNU-University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Hanoi (VNU-USSH) with the aim to introduce some selected research results to international audiences. The content of the first volume covers a wide range of fields of social sciences and humanities, and it could be divided into two main parts, namely "Vietnam in History" of five papers focusing mainly on different topics on Vietnamese history and "Vietnam in Transformation" with coverage of six papers focusing on the transformation and renovation in Vietnam contemporary. This volume is the first try of the VNU-USSH in the process of reform and integration of the university to introduce the research capacity of its faculty worldwide and with one aim to build up it to became an excellent research university in the near future. Contributors of this first volume include Pham Duc Anh, Nguyen Tuan Anh, Trinh Van Dinh, Nguyen Truong Giang, Hoang Thu Huong, Tran Van Kham, Nguyen Van Khanh, Nguyen Van Kim, Pham Quang Minh, Do Thuy Lan, Vu Duc Nghieu, Nguyen Van Suu and Do Thi Huong Thao
America Coming to Terms: The Vietnam Legacy
Douglas Pike, an eminent authority on Southeast Asia and particularly on Vietnam, wrote: “Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan is a highly respected economist and political thinker. Even perhaps for our purpose here, he is a man of great breadth of view, a philosopher in the true meaning of the word...” In America Coming to Terms, Dr. Nguyen Anh Tuan addresses himself to the central issue of the Vietnam War. This ambitious study seeks to place the U.S. involvement in Vietnam into the broader context of American and world history. The legacy of the Vietnam War remains a critical topic, particularly with the war in Iraq generating the specter of conflicting partisan politics in a deeply divided country. Am...
Smart Nanocontainers
Smart Nanocontainers explores the fundamental concepts and emerging applications of nanocontainers in biomedicine, pharmaceuticals and smart materials. In pharmaceuticals, nanocontainers have advantages over their micro-counterparts, including more efficient drug detoxification, higher intracellular uptake, better stability, less side effects and higher biocompatibility with tissue and cells. In materials science, such as coating technology, they help by making coatings smarter, stronger and more durable. This important reference will help anyone who wants to learn more on how nanocontainers are used to provide the controlled release of active agents, including their applications in smart coatings, corrosion, drug delivery, diagnosis, agri-food and gas storage. - Discusses how the molecular design of nanocarriers can be optimized to increase performance - Explores how nanocarriers are being used to produce a new generation of active coatings - Explains how nanocarriers are being used to deliver more effective nanoscale drug delivery
Nano-Bioremediation: Fundamentals and Applications
Nano-Bioremediation: Fundamentals and Applications explores how nano-bioremediation is used to remedy environmental pollutants. The book's chapters focus on the design, fabrication and application of advanced nanomaterials and their integration with biotechnological processes for the monitoring and treatment of pollutants in environmental matrices. It is an important reference source for materials scientists, engineers and environmental scientists who are looking to increase their understanding of bioremediation at the nanoscale. The mitigation of environmental pollution is the biggest challenge to researchers and the scientific community, hence this book provides answers to some important q...

This book is an important reference source for materials scientists and civil engineers who are looking to enhance the properties of smart nanomaterials to create stronger, more durable concrete. Explores the mechanisms through which active agents are released from nanocontainers inside concrete Shows how embedded smart nanosensors, including carbon cement-based smart sensors and micro/nano strain-sensors, are used to increase concrete performance Discusses the major challenges of integrating smart nanomaterials into concrete composites
Smart Multifunctional Nano-inks
Smart Multifunctional Nano-inks: Fundamentals and Emerging Applications covers nano-inks and how they can be used in inkjet printers for printing complex circuitry on flexible substrates or as a paste for 3D printers. Microstructures can be 3D-printed using nano-inks in a combination of high-resolution plasma printing and subsequent rotogravure printing. In addition, smart multifunctional nano-inks are not only required for the electronic, but also in other applications, such as for secure inks, for currency, and in immigration documents. This book focuses on fundamental design concepts, promising applications, and future challenges of nano-inks in various areas, such as optoelectronics, ene...
