Thermal Stress Resistance of Materials
This book deals with the problem of a bearing capacity and fracture of thermally loaded materials. The treatise is based on extensive experimental and technological data of materials-development processes for high-temperature nuclear reactors and aerospace nuclear-rocket engines.

Contains a study of the thermal processes initiated by attosecond laser pulses. Considering the existence of the experimental evidence for the trains of the attosecond laser pulses, we developed the theoretical framework for attophysics, i.e. physics of phenomena with time duration in the attosecond domain. This time domain is concerned with phenomena whose duration is much shorter than the relaxation time for atomic, molecular and nanoparticles scales.

Thermal analysis of polymeric materials
"Thermal Analysis of Polymeric Materials" systematically treats macroscopic measurements by thermal analysis and the quantitative link to microscopic, molecular structure and mobility. Reversible and irreversible thermodynamics, kinetics, quantum mechanics, and statistical thermodynamics are the roots of the described thermal analysis. The book aims to broaden readers’ understanding of materials and the connection of flexible macromolecules (polymers) to small molecules and rigid macromolecules (minerals, salts, and metals). An effort is made to discover how the long, flexible molecules fit into their small phases which are characterized as microphases or nanophases. Their order ranges from amorphous to mesophase-like and crystalline. Ultimately, it is shown that the basic structure-property-processing triangle is connected to the better-known types of molecules and their common macroscopic phases.
Therapy Related Leukemia
As the population of cancer survivors continues to grow, there is a great need to term health of this population. Nearly one in five cancers -understand the longdiagnosed today occurs in an individual with a previous diagnosis of cancer, and cancers” are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among these “second the etiology, prevention, and which reported esearchOur rcancer survivors. treatment of second cancers has the potential to improve public health, guide clinical management of survivors, and provide further insight into the mechanisms of carcinogenesis. Secondary cancer risk following radiotherapy and chemotherapy is an increasingly important topic in clinical oncology with impact on treatment decision making and on patient management. And one of the highest incidence was leukemia . Much of the evidence that underlies our understanding of secondary cancer risks and our risk estimates are derived from large epidemiologic studies that we will talk about it and predictive models of earlier decades with large uncertainties.
Theraputic targeting and drug delivery system
Smart drug delivery system (SDDS) is a recently emerging therapeutic approach now turning into a conventional model to deliver drug to specific sites or target. Drug targeted (DT) delivery systems maintains the concentration of the drugs at desirable doses in the body and avoid the need for repeated doses. The DT delivery system have specific distinguishing features such as self- regulated, pre-programmed, multi-targeted, controlled by timely response, monitoring of the targeted drug delivery, responsive to pH, and spatially targeted...
Thérapeutiques antiangiogéniques en cancérologie = Antiangiogenic therapeutics in oncology
The fundamental role of angiogenesis in tumor growth and spread has been known for over 30 years now. We have recently had effective anti-angiogenic drugs on many tumors. Their use requires a good knowledge of their mode of action, their side effects, their indications and their place in the therapeutic strategy. This work is therefore divided into three points: - It is first recalled the important role of tumor angiogenesis, the means available to evaluate it on histological samples, its practical modalities of use and the side effects of anti-cancer drugs. -angiogenic.- Then the therapeutic results obtained with the anti-VEGF antibodies and the anti-VEGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors are detailed for each of the tumors.- Finally, the positioning of these new molecules in the multidisciplinary strategy is discussed. - view of other processing methods.

Therapeutic use of medicinal plants and their extracts ; Vol.2 : Phytochemistry and bioactive compounds
Starts with a general introduction to phytochemistry, followed by chapters on plant constituents, their origins and chemistry, but also discussing animal-, microorganism- and mineral-based drugs. Further chapters cover vitamins, food additives and excipients as well as xenobiotics and poisons. The book also explores the herbal approach to disease management and molecular pharmacognosy and introduces methods of qualitative and quantitative analysis of plant constituents. Phytochemicals are classified as primary (e.g. carbohydrates, lipids, amino acid derivations, etc.) or secondary (e.g. alkaloids, terpenes and terpenoids, phenolic compounds, glycosides, etc.) metabolites according to their metabolic route of origin, chemical structure and function. A wide variety of primary and secondary phytochemicals are present in medicinal plants, some of which are active phytomedicines and some of which are pharmaceutical excipients.
