A comprehensive overview of smart and responsive surfaces inbiotechnology and their applications A wave of recent advances in cell biology, biophysics,chemistry, and materials science has enabled the development of anew generation of smart biomaterials. Intelligent Surfaces inBiotechnology: Scientific and Engineering Concepts, EnablingTechnologies, and Translation to Bio-Oriented Applications providesreaders with a comprehensive overview of surface modifications andtheir applications, including coverage of the physico-chemicalproperties, characterization methods, smart coating technologies,and demonstration of performance in vitro and in vivo. The first part of the book covers applications in the fields ofbiosensing and biodiagnostics, while the second part focuses moreon coatings for medical devices, drug delivery, and tailoredcell-surface interactions. The book explores intelligent surfaceapplications such as tissue engineering, drug targeting anddelivery, wound healing and anti-infection strategies, biosensors,nanopatterning, and bioinspired design of novel responsivematerials and multifunctional surfaces. Designed to aid scientists and engineers in understanding therapidly developing field of biofunctional surfaces, IntelligentSurfaces in Biotechnology is an edited volume with each chapterwritten by a respected expert and featuring examples taken from themost state-of-the-art developments in the discipline.

Today, nano- and microencapsulation are increasingly beingutilized in the pharmaceutical, textile, agricultural and foodindustries. Microencapsulation is a process in which tiny particlesor droplets of a food are surrounded by a coating to give smallcapsules. These capsules can be imagined as tiny uniform spheres,in which the particles at the core are protected from outsideelements by the protective coating. For example, vitamins can beencapsulated to protect them from the deterioration they wouldundergo if they were exposed to oxygen. This book highlights the principles, applications, toxicity andregulation of nano- and microencapsulated foods. Section I describes the theories and concepts of nano- andmicroencapsulation for foods adapted from pharmaceutical areas,rationales and new strategies of encapsulation, and protection andcontrolled release of food ingredients. Section II looks closely at the nano- and microencapsulation offood ingredients, such as vitamins, minerals, phytochemical, lipid,probiotics and flavors. This section provides a variety ofreferences for functional food ingredients with varioustechnologies of nano particles and microencapsulation. This sectionwill be helpful to food processors and will deal with foodingredients for making newly developed functional foodproducts. Section III covers the application of encapsulated ingredientsto various foods, such as milk and dairy products, beverages,bakery and confectionery products, and related food packagingmaterials. Section IV touches on other related issues in nano- andmicroencapsulation, such as bioavailability, bioactivity, potentialtoxicity and regulation.

<p>Deception and truth-telling weave through the fabric of nearly all human interactions and every communication context.<i> The Palgrave Handbook of Deceptive Communication</i> unravels the topic of lying and deception in human communication, offering an interdisciplinary and comprehensive examination of the field, presenting original research, and offering direction for future investigation and application. Highly prominent and emerging deception scholars from around the world investigate the myriad forms of deceptive behavior, cross-cultural perspectives on deceit, moral dimensions of deceptive communication, theoretical approaches to the study of deception, and strategies for detecting and deterring deceit. Truth-telling, lies, and the many grey areas in-between are explored in the contexts of identity formation, interpersonal relationships, groups and organizations, social and mass media, marketing, advertising, law enforcement interrogations, court, politics, and propaganda. This handbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, academics, researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in the pervasive nature of truth, deception, and ethics in the modern world. </p>

'The Light Has Been Broken: 560+ Macabre Classics, Supernatural Mysteries & Dark Tales' showcases a vast panorama of horror and supernatural literature, featuring works by prominent figures ranging from Mary Shelley to H.P. Lovecraft. This collection presents an expansive exploration of gothic terror, psychological unease, and eerie mysteries, encapsulating a rich diversity of literary styles from the grimly poetic to the starkly suspenseful. The anthology not only reinforces the traditional elements of the macabre but also challenges them, by including lesser-known yet equally gripping tales that broaden the reader's perception of the genre. The authors included are titans of their respective eras, each contributing uniquely to the fabric of dark literature. The collection is emotionally and historically wide-ranging, carrying readers through the fear-tinged narratives of the 18th century to the more visceral horrors of the early 20th century. Together, these authors have shaped much of the modern understanding of horror and supernatural fiction, offering narratives that reflect societal anxieties and personal nightmares, framed within their distinct cultural and historical contexts. This anthology invites readers on a meticulously curated journey into the depths of horror and mystery, making it an indispensable volume for both newcomers and connoisseurs of the genre. The breadth and depth of the collection offer a remarkable educational opportunity— to observe the evolution and variety of horror writing across different periods and cultures. Engaging with this collection promises not only a thrilling literary experience but also a profound understanding of the ways in which supernatural fiction can illuminate darker corners of human experience and cultural fear.

<p> The king of vendhya was dying. Through the hot, stifling night the temple gongs boomed and the conchs roared. Their clamor was a faint echo in the gold- domed chamber where Bhunda Chand struggled on the velvet-cushioned dais. Beads of sweat glistened on his dark skin; his fingers twisted the gold-worked fabric beneath him. He was young; no spear had touched him, no poison lurked in his wine.</p>

For 40 years, the author has counseled people with cancer and gained insight into the extent to which the disease reflects the energetic structure of the environment. Again and again, very specific fields and radiations, which even experts are not very familiar with, have proven to be conspicuous. The counselling concept that has emerged from this research is a novelty in its differentiation and success. The book presents the discoveries, the statistics of the problem factors and the ways to eliminate or avoid them. Critical people who want to know and do not subordinate the subject of health to any ideology are addressed as well as professionals who attach importance to technical details and are open to physical radiesthesia. The author's findings document the value of this method, which cannot be replaced by traditional mental methods. A second highlight are the planetary lines and planetary circular fields discovered by the author with their complex aesthetic structure, proven in sacred sites in Europe and Asia. The connections of meaning often touch the soul deeply or simply amaze.

<p>Climate change is as much a cultural phenomenon as it is a natural one. This book is about those cultural patterns that surround our perception of the environmental crisis and which are embodied in the narratives told by climate change advocates. It investigates the themes and motifs in those narratives through the use of narrative theory and cultural sociology.</p> <p>Developing a framework for cultural narrative analysis, Climate Change and Storytelling draws on qualitative interviews with stakeholders, activists and politicians in the USA and Germany to identify motifs and the relationships between heroes, villains and victims, as told by the messengers of the narrative.</p> <p>This book will provide academics and practitioners with insights into the structure of climate change communication among climate advocates and the cultural fabric that informs it. </p> <div> <br> </div>
