Recent Advances in Nanofabrication Techniques and Applications
Nanotechnology has experienced a rapid growth in the past decade, largely owing to the rapid advances in nanofabrication techniques employed to fabricate nano-devices. Nanofabrication can be divided into two categories: "bottom up" approach using chemical synthesis or self assembly, and "top down" approach using nanolithography, thin film deposition and etching techniques. Both topics are covered, though with a focus on the second category. This book contains twenty nine chapters and aims to provide the fundamentals and recent advances of nanofabrication techniques, as well as its device applications. Most chapters focus on in-depth studies of a particular research field, and are thus targeted for researchers, though some chapters focus on the basics of lithographic techniques accessible for upper year undergraduate students. Divided into five parts, this book covers electron beam, focused ion beam, nanoimprint, deep and extreme UV, X-ray, scanning probe, interference, two-photon, and nanosphere lithography.
Impact of the Innate and Adaptive Immune System in Driving Type 1 Inflammatory Skin Disease
Inflammatory skin diseases are frequent in number and often lead to a decreased quality of life in the affected patients. These diseases result from a complex interplay between the innate and adaptive immune systems. Type 1 inflammation is an immune response driven primarily by Th1 cells, which secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines, notably Interferon-gamma. The initiation of Type 1 inflammation is typically triggered by the recognition of antigens associated with intracellular pathogens. Dendritic cells present these antigens to naive T-cells, leading to the differentiation of predominantly Th1 cells, which in turn activate other immune cells, including macrophages and cytotoxic T-cells. In chronic inflammation, the infiltration of T cells drives the perpetuating cycle of inflammation at the epidermal barrier. Th1-induced inflammation can synergize with recruitment and heightened activity of other T cell subsets such as Th17 cells. Typical type 1 inflammatory skin diseases include psoriasis, lichen planus, acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, pityriasis rubra pilaris, adverse cutaneous drug eruptions, and autoimmune disorders such as vitiligo and lupus erythematodes.
The Rise of Modern Chinese Thought
Wang Hui asks what it means for China to be modern and for modernity to be Chinese. Is there a rupture between tradition and modernity in China? How has Confucian thought evolved? Did China become modern in the Middle Ages? A deep intellectual history, The Rise of Modern Chinese Thought revises our senses of both modernity and Chinese philosophy.
