This book proposes a concrete path to bring an end to pandemics and achieve a world without infectious diseases, suggesting an escape from the long history of infectious diseases that have brought misery and confusion to humanity. The book presents an Mikawa-Kase-AQIP model to illuminate the generation of infection units originating from the lungs, where viral proliferation occurs. It further elucidates the theoretical distribution of viruses entrapped within aerosol particles. It is entirely possible to avoid infection using today’s science and technology, if we all understand, share, and implement an air ventilation approach which will stop viruses from entering the body. The challenge to eradicate future pandemics must be confronted now. The aim in this book is to present the answer.
Presents the most comprehensive review of the influence of highly intense magnetic fields on materials of various classes.
Amorphous and nanocrystalline materials are a class of their own. Their properties are quite different to those of the corresponding crystalline materials. This book gives systematic insight into their physical properties, structure, behaviour, and design for special advanced applications.
This book introduces recent theoretical developments concerning the dynamic behaviour of fracture. Readers learn how the recent development of molecular dynamics and other state-of-the-art methods can help to solve the important problem of fracture from the atomic level.
The future focus of nanotechnology will be on realizing new functions over greater scales. This book describes the creation of nano- and microscale structures and functions by controlling temperature, light, pressure, or carrier injections. It includes novel nano-integration technologies such as self-organization of surface nanostructures, quantum well structures, microlithography and micromachines, as well as new techniques of laser spectroscopy and new computational methods.
This volume offers an overview of the growth of shaped crystals (oxides, fluorides, etc.) by the micro-pulling-down technique. Both melt and solution (flux) growth are considered. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed in detail and compared with related crystal-growth processes. The authors attempt to give a practical introduction to this technique, thereby also explaining how its application can help to solve problems commonly encountered in other melt-growth methods.
The downward displacement in stomach cancer mortality among Japanese migrants to the United States and their descendants provides an opportunity to see whether the changes in risk can be associated with changes in customs, occupation or other environmental exposures traceable to migration. Case control studies in two prefectures of Japan and in Hawaii and California undertaken with this objective in mind are described. Some preliminary results from interviewing in Miyagi prefecture on the association of selected items of diet with stomach cancer are presented and discussed.
