The growing demand for the detection of trace analytes, such as drugs, biomarkers, environmental pollutants, and explosives, in different fields including on-site healthcare monitoring, disease diagnostics, environmental monitoring, and homeland security has driven the development of high-performance sensors to tackle real-world problems. Self-assembly of nanoparticles mediated by macrocyclic molecules provides a facile method to fabricate nanosubstrates with precise interparticle spacings, leading to very strong and reproducible signals. This introductory book is designed to offer fundamental insights into the nanosensing platforms based on macrocycle-functionalised nanoparticles, including their synthesis and functionalisation, host–guest chemistry, and optical spectroscopies. It also explores potential applications of these nanosensing platforms in biological and chemical sensing.

The use of nanotechnology in agriculture has created many concerns related to toxicity and environmental implications. Green synthesis techniques for producing nanomaterials utilizing plants, microorganisms, and other natural resources have been developed in response to the demand for green chemistry and nanotechnology. This book provides in-depth information on the plant-based synthesis of nanoparticles and how it promotes sustainable agriculture. It critically reviews nanomaterials synthesized from plants and their potential applications, including nanoscale insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, fertilizers, and sensors, which can help to study and manage plant health and soil fertility.

The only book to give a complete picture of current hydrogel research, covering all the major applications as well as the fundamental principles behind them.
This book covers the photothermal effect of different categories of light-absorbing nanomaterials.
This atlas composes of original contributions of characteristic cases of small intestinal diseases. The typical small intestinal diseases related cases are discussed in this book. Each case in the atlas is introduced with relevant clinical history and exemplified with educatory endoscopy images. With abundant illustrations, this atlas provides valuable information learned from the diagnoses and treatments of the patients with small intestinal diseases. It also introduces the advances of the latest medical technologies in small intestinal medicine, such as capsule endoscopy, double-balloon enteroscopy, and single-balloon enteroscopy. Small intestinal medicine is an emerging, fascinating and important discipline in gastroenterology. This Atlas can serve as a useful and educational guide to young doctors and a refreshing reference book to educators in this field, and hence promoting better clinical care for their patients.

In War and Geopolitics in Interwar Manchuria Kwong Chi Man revisits the civil wars in China (1925-1928) from the perspective of the often-overlooked "warlords," who fought against the joint forces of the Nationalist and Communist parties. In particular, this work focuses on Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the "Fengian Clique" who was sometimes seen as the representative of the Japanese interest in Manchuria. Using primary and secondary sources from China, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, this work tries to revisit the wars during the period from international, political, military, and economic-financial perspectives. It sheds new light on Zhang Zuolin's decision to fight against the Nationalists and the Communists and offers an alternative explanation to the Nationalists (temporary) victory by revealing the central importance of geopolitics in the civil wars in China during the interwar period.
