With the advancement of computing, electronics, embedded computing, and sensor technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) systems are becoming an important technology for the future information and co
Carbon nanomaterials possess special physical and chemical properties. As adsorbents, they are widely used for the purification of water and other liquids, recovery of valuable substances from liquid
Glycomics (a comprehensive study of glycans, often denoted as the third alphabet of molecular biology, besides nucleic acids and proteins) relies the techniques that use heavy machinery, such as mass
This book presents the current aspects of environmental issues in view of chemical processes particularly with respect to two facets: social sciences along with chemistry and natural sciences. The for
The conservation and protection of buildings that constitute our cultural heritage are complex tasks calling for a comprehensive knowledge of the historical background of the buildings, as well as the
After devoting 21 years of his life and a substantial part of his earnings to physics research, Prof. Eiichi Yamaguchi thought of dedicating the rest of his life to it. However, this thought brought t
This book is dedicated to modeling and application of magnetoelectric (ME) effect in layered and bulk composites based on magnetostrictive and piezoelectric materials. Currently, a huge literature is
On the one hand, particle-based sensing techniques are driven by new technologies for preparing and measuring micro- and nanoparticles and by a fascination of the possibilities for design and function
This book deals with the emerging concept that certain pathogenic bacteria and viruses, when infecting people with cancer, actively fight tumors, allowing their regression. Although such observations
Nucleic acids have structurally evolved over billions of years to effectively store and transfer the genetic information. The disruptive thinking of Nadrian Seeman in the 1980s led to utilizing DNA as
This memoir is the account of the life of the author’s spanning seven decades lived on three continents: The Middle East, Europe and the United States. What sets this memoir apart from so many others
With the increaseing global demand for energy, we are facing a huge challenge of energy sustainability. Renewable energy has attracted an immense amount of interest with
As the new century came, the world began to turn its back on the reckless developments of the past that resulted in global pollution and the deep misery it entails, a climate getting out of kilter, th
Fullerenes became a new member of carbon allotropes in addition to diamond and graphite through the discovery of C60 (carbon 60) by Kroto et al. in 1985. The model of C60 was first proposed by Osawa i
Fluorescence imaging, at macro, micro and sub-micro scales, has revolutionized biological science in the past 30 years. Immuno-labeling has provided the precise targeting of molecules in the fixed tis
