Biotechnology Applied to Inflammatory Diseases
Biotechnology involves an interdisciplinary science that provides an interface between biological, molecular and cellular aspects of living organisms with broad technologies applicable in the fields of health, environment and materials. This book “Biotechnology applied to inflammatory diseases: Cellular mechanisms and nanomedicine” is focused on elaborating especially on two trendy areas from Biotechnology. In this volume, different inflammatory pathologies in terms of cellular and molecular mechanisms are characterized to better understand the science behind current precision medicine. The second part of the book focuses on the main biotechnological advancements for the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of various types of inflammatory diseases, highlighting up-to-date contributions of nanomedicine. The reader will be able to explore the utilization of technologies for various inflammatory diseases and will be able to enable an engaging and valuable knowledge for further research and clinically applied scenarios.
Green Nanoparticles
Nanotechnology is the application of science to control matter at the molecular level. It has become one of the most promising applied technologies in all areas of science. Nanoparticles have multi-functional properties and have created very interesting applications in various fields such as medicine, nutrition, bioenergy, agriculture and the environment. But the biogenic syntheses of monodispersed nanoparticles with specific sizes and shapes have been a challenge in biomaterial science. Nanoparticles are of great interest due to their extremely small size and large surface-to-volume ratio, which lead to both chemical and physical differences in their properties (e.g., mechanical properties,...
Nanostructures for Oral Medicine
Nanostructures for Oral Medicine presents an up-to-date examination of the applications and effects of nanostructured materials in oral medicine, with each chapter addressing recent developments, specific applications, and uses of nanostructures in the oral administration of therapeutic agents in dentistry. The book also includes coverage of the biocompatibility of nanobiomaterials and their remarkable potential in improving human health and in reducing environmental pollution. Emerging advances, such as Dr. Franklin Tay's concept of a new nanotechnology process of growing extremely small, mineral-rich crystals and guiding them into the demineralized gaps between collagen fibers to prevent t...

X-ray Scattering
X-ray scattering techniques are a family of nondestructive analytical techniques. Using these techniques, scientists obtain information about the crystal structure and chemical and physical properties of materials. Nowadays, different techniques are based on observing the scattered intensity of an X-ray beam hitting a sample as a function of incident and scattered angle, polarization, and wavelength. This book is intended to give overviews of the relevant X-ray scattering techniques, particularly about inelastic X-ray scattering, elastic scattering, grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, and high-resolution X-ray diffraction, and, finally, applications of X-ray spectroscopy to study different biological systems.

As teorias e o caso
De cunho teórico e analítico, a presente obra tem como objetivo fortalecer a reflexão sobre a Ciência Política praticada no Brasil e sobre o Brasil como caso concreto. Seu amplo escopo reflete o engajamento das diferentes áreas ou subdisciplinas da Ciência Política nacional. O eixo principal do livro, comum a todos os capítulos, se baseia no levantamento das principais teorias (em perspectiva comparada) que têm sido mobilizadas para compreender o caso brasileiro, acompanhado de reflexões e análises sobre como as características específicas do nosso contexto incidem ao mesmo tempo na utilização, aplicabilidade e limitações dessas teorias. Dessa forma, o livro serve ao duplo propósito de realizar um levantamento dos principais argumentos usados pelos pesquisadores nacionais, oferecendo ao leitor um estado da arte da pesquisa em Ciência Política, e mapear as principais características do Brasil como caso concreto e como essas características importam para a avaliação das teorias produzidas aqui e no exterior.
Alimentação em jogo
Para enfrentar a epidemia de obesidade e outras doenças crônicas, governos de todo o mundo passaram a regular os alimentos ultraprocessados, como salgadinhos e refrigerantes, que geram enormes custos aos sistemas de saúde. “Alimentação em Jogo” desvenda as estratégias de lobby em torno da pioneira iniciativa da Anvisa de regular a publicidade de alimentos não saudáveis no Brasil. O livro também alerta para o perigo de o país ficar para trás na corrida pela regulação dos alimentos ultraprocessados, num contexto em que o tema deverá estar no centro dos debates de saúde pública no Brasil e no mundo.
Celso Furtado
Para a mais recente geração de economistas, Celso Furtado é o intelectual com uma das contribuições mais férteis no plano das formulações teóricas ancoradas na problemática das economias periféricas – a industrialização por substituição de importações como forma de os subdesenvolvidos transitarem ao capitalismo. Muitos acentuam o caráter utópico de suas proposições, por ousarem o projeto de um Brasil de capitalismo autônomo. Há, ainda, os que veem em seu pensamento a matriz de nova epistemologia econômica. Mas inegável é o consenso de que se trata de um intelectual ímpar, construtor de ideias originais, um humanista e homem de ação, devotado aos problemas da Am...
