This conference proceeding LNCS 12796 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on Design, Operation and Evaluation of Mobile Communications, MOBILE 2021 which was held as part of the 23rd HCI International Conference, HCII 2021 as a virtual event, due to COVID-19, in July 2021. The total of 1276 papers and 241 posters included in the 39 HCII 2021 proceedings volumes were carefully reviewed and selected from 5222 submissions. MOBILE 2021 includes a total of 27 papers; they were organized in topical sections named: Designing, Developing and Evaluating Mobile Interaction Systems and User Experience, Acceptance and Impact of Mobile Communications.
This work focuses on several approaches to modulated control release systems, including polymers responding to external stimuli (pH glucose concentration), polymer drug-magnetic and ultrasonic systems. This book is aimed at the next generation of drug delivery systemsópumps that can be activated to provide different rates, polymers responding to pH stimuli, non-erodible polymers containing enzymes that cause the polymer to swell and regulate the rate of delivery in response to external stimuli, lectin drug systems that release additional drug due to the affinity of an external molecule for the lectin, and release of vesicle-entrapped substances in response to changes in environmental conditions. This reference shows that drug delivery patterns can be further optimized by pulse or self-regulated delivery, adjusted to the staging of biological rhythms. Written in a systematic format, this book is a useful resource for those involved with pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical materials research, chemistry, macromolecules, and chemical engineering.
Here, front-line researchers in the booming field of nanobiotechnology describe the most promising approaches for bioinspired drug delivery, encompassing small molecule delivery, delivery of therapeutic proteins and gene delivery. The carriers surveyed include polymeric, proteinaceous and lipid systems on the nanoscale, with a focus on their adaptability for different cargoes and target tissues. Thanks to the broad coverage of carriers as well as cargoes discussed, every researcher in the field will find valuable information here.
A relatively compact, but nonetheless comprehensive, review of the most important preparative methods for the synthesis and chemical modification of polymers. The contents are subdivided according to chemical structure of the polymer backbone. Complementary emphasis is on special properties and appl

A study of the earliest extensive account of Chinese pulse diagnosis, focusing on a biography of Chunyu Yi.
Tells the story of China's struggles to overcome new risks and endure the global backlash against its assertive reach. Combining on-the-ground reportage with analysis, Luke Patey argues that China's predatory economic agenda, headstrong diplomacy, and military expansion undermine its global ambitions to dominate the global economy and world affairs
"Nanomaterials offer great potential for effective tumor diagnosis and therapy combing diagnostic agents and therapeutic drugs into one platform. In this book, the most recent progress of main nanomaterials and their applications in tumor targeting theranostics is presented. It summarizes the recent advances of current principal nanomaterials in tumor theranostics, including magnetic nanomaterials, quantum dots, mesoporous silica nanoparticles, gold nanomaterials, polymeric nanosystem, carbon nanomaterials, lipopolyplex nanoparticles, microbubbles, upconversion nanomaterials and dendrimers. It will enable readers to get a more realistic understanding of both the advantages and limitations of nanomaterials for potential tumor targeting theranosis. The publication of this book will accelerate the spread of ideas that are currently trickling through the scientific literature. Also a greater understanding of the potential and challenge of nanomaterials for tumor targeting theranostics is highly anticipated for practical clinical use."--Provided by publisher.
Drawing on Dunhuang manuscripts and the latest scholarship in Dunhuang and Buddhist Studies, this translation analyzes Buddhist monasticism via such topics as the organizational forms of Dunhuang Buddhist monasteries, the construction and operation of ordination platforms, ordination certificates and government ordination licenses, and meditation retreats, etc. Assuming a pan-Asian perspective, the monograph also made trailblazing contributions to the study of Buddhist Sinicization and Sino-Indian cultural exchanges and is bound to exert long-lasting influences on the worldwide academic study of Buddhism.
