Nanocatalysis
Nanocatalysis is one of the most exciting subfields to have emerged from nanoscience. Its central aim is the control of chemical reactions by changing the size, dimensionality, chemical composition and morphology of the reaction center and by changing the kinetics using nanopatterning of the reaction centers. This approach opens up new avenues for atom-by-atom design of nanocatalysts with distinct and tunable chemical activity, specificity, and selectivity. This book is intended to give a pedagogical and methodological overview of this exciting and growing field and to highlight specific examples of current research. In this way, it serves both as an instructive introduction for graduate students who plan to enter the field and as a reference work for scientists already active in this and related areas.
Intelligent drugs : How AI is transforming healthcare
The progress of biotechnologies and artificial intelligence allowed the development of vaccines in less than a year, thus saving millions of human lives and preserving the global economy. The emergence of intelligent drugs is highlighted, with the promise of ultra-targeted, more effective, and safer treatments against a wide range of diseases. Personalized medicine then becomes realistic, with computer-designed drugs, perfectly adapted to each individual, tested on virtual patients before their real use. In the near future, thanks to AI, new drugs will improve physical performance, stimulate cognitive abilities, prevent diseases, and slow down aging.
Computational Turbulent Incompressible Flow: Applied Mathematics : Body and Soul 4
This is Volume 4 of the book series of the Body & Soul mathematics education reform program, and presents a unified new approach to computational simulation of turbulent.
IUTAM symposium on theoretical, computational and modelling aspects of inelastic media ; Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held at Cape Town, South Africa, January 14–18, 2008
Comprises papers based on some of the talks presented at the IUTAM Symposium of the same name, held in Cape Town, January 14-18, 2008. This volume treats cutting-edge issues in modelling, the behaviour of various classes of inelastic media, and associated algorithms for carrying out computational simulations. A key feature of the contributions are works directed at modelling behaviour at the meso and micro-scales, and at bridging the micro-macro scales.
