This text highlights the applications of nanotechnology for medicine and the biosciences. Medical aspects of nanotechnology and the range of nanofabrication and microengineering techniques available for biological research and possible clinical applications are discussed. The volume reviews scanning probe and submicron optical microscopy of biomolecules, precision machining of biomaterials with lasers, novel devices made to nanometric tolerances and nano-sized particles for drug delivery systems. The interaction of cells with nanotextured surfaces is another area in which nanotechnology may pl

How does developmental psychology connect with the developing world? What do cultural representations tell us about the contemporary politics of childhood? What is the political economy of childhood? This companion volume to Burman’s Deconstructing Developmental Psychology helps us to explain why questions around children and childhood - their safety, their sexuality, their interests and abilities, their violence - have so preoccupied the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In this increasingly post-industrial, post-colonial and multicultural world, this book identifies analytica

In this publication, contributors from all over the world elucidate the ocular phenomenon of uveitis (intraocular inflammation) from different points of view. It features summaries of the knowledge along with detailed outlooks regarding the possibilities of future developments in clinical and basic sciences. The practising ophthalmologist as well as the internist should find the book a practical guide on treatment methods for uveitis, and a realistic look at future avenues.

This book is concerned with the application of tracers to a wide variety of oil field operations. It provides the necessary nuclear concepts and techniques which are basic to oil field tracer applications. Laboratory and field techniques are explained and illustrated as are the associated regulatory and safety aspects. Within the book, each area of oil field use is considered separately and specific applications of tracers discussed and relevant literature reviewed. The use of non-radioactive tracers is pointed out wherever it is applicable.Due to the nature of this competitive industry, much

Based on the authors’ recent investigations, this book describes the application of glassy and polyphase composite materials for nuclear waste immobilisation. It introduces immobilisation issues beginning with a short description of nuclear waste types and compositions. Sources of nuclear waste are described including the nuclear fuel cycle, operational and spent nuclear fuel reprocessing waste streams. The glassy waste forms currently being used for high-, intermediate- and low level radioactive waste immobilisation are described. Problems related to immobilisation capacity, process eff

Although most international lawyers assumed that the distribution of the land surface of the earth between States was more or less final after the end of decolonization, recent practice has disproved this assumption. Eritrea separated from Ethiopia and new States were created out of the former Soviet Union, the former Yugoslavia and the former Czechoslovakia. There is no reason to believe that these events form the end of the creation of new States. Numerous communities within existing States claim a right to full separate statehood on the basis of their entitlement to an alleged right to self
