This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 11th Italian Workshop on Advances in Artificial Life, Evolutionary Computation and Systems Chemistry, WIVACE 2016, held at Fisciano, Italy, in October 2016. The 16 full papers together with 1 short papers presented have been thoroughly reviewed and selected from 54 submissions. They cover the following topics: evolutionary computation, bioinspired algorithms, genetic algorithms, bioinformatics and computational biology, modelling and simulation of artificial and biological systems, complex systems, synthetic and systems biology, systems chemistry.
This book presents multidisciplinary research focusing on the analysis, synthesis, and design of bio and nanomaterials. Merging biophysics, biochemistry, and bioengineering perspectives, it discusses the basic properties of materials and their interaction with biological systems; the development of new medical devices, such as implantable systems; and new algorithms and methods for modeling the mechanical, physical, and biological properties of biomaterials. The book gathers the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Bio and Nanomaterials, held on September 29–October 3, 2019, on an MSC cruise ship navigating the Mediterranean Sea. It particularly highlights Horizon 2020 projec...
This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the 12th Italian Workshop on Advances in Artificial Life, Evolutionary Computation, WIVACE 2017, held in Venice, Italy, in September 2017.The 23 full papers presented were thoroughly reviewed and selected from 33 submissions. They cover the following topics: physical-chemical phenomena; biological systems; economy and society; complexity; optimization.
Controlling the properties of materials by modifying their composition and by manipulating the arrangement of atoms and molecules is a dream that can be achieved by nanotechnology. As one of the fastest developing and innovative -- as well as well-funded -- fields in science, nanotechnology has already significantly changed the research landscape in chemistry, materials science, and physics, with numerous applications in consumer products, such as sunscreens and water-repellent clothes. It is also thanks to this multidisciplinary field that flat panel displays, highly efficient solar cells, and new biological imaging techniques have become reality. This second, enlarged edition has been full...
The rapid development of polymer technology in recent years has produced an increasing range of new polymers and additives, and seen much innovation in processing technologies. The need for understanding the relationships between polymeric structure, processing conditions and material properties is therefore greater than ever before. The EUROMAT 2001 conference held in June 2001 in Rimini, Italy was an ideal international forum for dealing with this complex subject. Selected lectures are presented in this volume of Macromolecular Symposia, which should be of interest to scientists of polymer chemistry and of polymer blending, processing and recycling, in academia and industry, alike.
This book (Nanomaterials: Science and Technology) includes11 chapters cover an introduction, methods of preparation, characterization techniques, physical properties, and applications of nanomaterials for students of faculty of Science, engineers, and researchers. The first chapter covers a brief introduction, definition, classification, and properties of nanomaterials. Chapter two focused on the trends of synthesis routes of nanomaterials using various chemical and physical methods. Chapter three presents the latest techniques used in the characterization of different types of nanomaterials. Optical, electrical, magnetic, mechanical, and thermal properties of nanomaterials are explained in chapters four to nine. Chapter nine present an overview of the introduction, structure, properties, production, and applications of carbon nanotubes. Introduction, preparation, application, advantages and disadvantages and future applications in different fields of nano-biomaterials are mentioned in chapter ten. The last chapter highlights the advantages and disadvantages, applications of nanomaterials and their impacts on the environment.
Studying the origin of life is one of man’s greatest achievements over the last sixty years. The fields of interest encompassed by this quest are multiple and interdisciplinary: chemistry, physics, biology, biochemistry, mathematics, geology but also statistics, atmospheric science, meteorology, oceanography, and astrophysics. Recent scientific discoveries, such as water on Mars and the existence of super-Earths with atmospheres similar to primordial Earth, have pushed researchers to simulate prebiotic conditions in explaining the abiotic formation of molecules essential to life. This collection of articles offers an overview of recent discoveries in the field of prebiotic chemistry of biomolecules, their formation and selection, and the evolution of complex chemical systems.
This book reports on multidisciplinary research focusing on the analysis, synthesis and design of bionanomaterials. It merges the biophysicists’, the biochemists’ and bioengineers’ perspectives, covering the study of the basic properties of materials and their interaction with biological systems, the development of new devices for medical purposes such as implantable systems, and new algorithms and methods for modeling the mechanical, physical or biological properties of biomaterials. The different chapters, which are based on selected contributions presented at the second edition of BIONAM, held on October 4-7, 2016, in Salerno, Italy, cover both basic and applied research. This inclu...
