Nanomedicine in Cancer

Nanomedicine in Cancer

This book is the first in a series compiling highly cited articles in nanomedicine recently. The series is edited by Lajos P. Balogh a prominent nanotechnology researcher and journal editor. The first book content is about nanotechnology in cancer research. It also includes a wide variety of must-know topics that will appeal to any researcher involved in nanomedicine macromolecular science cancer therapy and drug delivery research. These 31 articles collected here have already acquired more than 3500 citations (i. e. over a hundred on average) highlighting the importance and recognized professional interest of the scientists working in this field. | Nanomedicine in Cancer

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Petroleum Refineries A Troubleshooting Guide

Petroleum Refineries A Troubleshooting Guide

In petroleum refineries although there are sets of standard operating procedures to operate the plants unique problems often arise which need to be tackled with engineering knowledge and experience without much loss of energy and time. This process is termed ‘troubleshooting’ and it saves production loss leading to profitability and sustainability of the refinery operation. This book covers the ins and outs of troubleshooting in petroleum refineries with an analysis of the problems faced the fundamentals behind them and logical reasoning and illustrations to solve the problems along with lessons learnt. This is the first such book on the market since the publication of one by Norman P. Lieberman about 30 years ago and there has been a massive change in technology since then. This book will not only enlighten practicing engineers in refineries and postgraduate students but also facilitate the creation of a knowledge bank on troubleshooting case studies helping share engineering knowledge and experiences. | Petroleum Refineries A Troubleshooting Guide

Searching and Researching An Autobiography of a Nobel Laureate

Searching and Researching An Autobiography of a Nobel Laureate

In the last 130 years 30 Swiss people have won a Nobel Prize and one of them is Richard R. Ernst. He laid the foundation for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which revolutionized medical diagnostics across the globe. In his autobiography which the scientist completed shortly before he passed away at the age of 87 he talks about his life. Prof. Ernst grew up in a family long-established in Winterthur Switzerland however his childhood and adolescence were overshadowed by a demanding father. He talks in detail about the start of his career in the 1960s when he made a number of key discoveries at Varian Associates Palo Alto USA as well as about his return to ETH Zürich Switzerland and the shark tank that university research is. The highly talented chemist reveals how his passion for Himalayan art began while travelling in Nepal which ended in him building up one of the most significant collections of thangkas – the tantric Buddhist scrolls. In this book Prof. Ernst discusses openly and directly about all aspects of his life with humility and a wry sense of humor. | Searching and Researching An Autobiography of a Nobel Laureate
