Practical Handbook of Materials Science

CRC Practical Handbooks are a series of single-volume bench manuals that feature a synthesis of frequently used, basic reference information. These highly abridged versions of existing CRC multi-volume Handbooks contain largely tabular and ...

Principles of Materials Science and Engineering

This book attempts to provide basic knowledge about the structure, properties, and processing of engineering materials and their applications. The first chapter gives an introduction to materials science and engineering and briefly describe...

Big data and machine learning for materials science

Herein, we review aspects of leading-edge research and innovation in materials science that exploit big data and machine learning (ML), two computer science concepts that combine to yield computational intelligence. ML can accelerate the so...

Study on Association Between Lipid Profile Values and Psychiatric Disorders

Background: Cholesterol is especially abundant in nervous system, where it plays important role in different aspects of cellular structure (e.g. fluidity of cell membranes) and function (e.g. membrane). Several studies showed that there ...

Twins‐like nanodrugs synchronously transport in blood and coalesce inside tumors for sensitive ultrasound imaging and triggerable penetrative drug delivery

Abstract Nanodrugs capable of aggregating in the tumor microenvironment (TME) have demonstrated great efficiency in improving the therapeutic outcome. Among various approaches, the strategy utilizing electrostatic interaction as a driving f...

Superconductivity emerging from a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes

Superconductivity often appears due to suppression of competing electronic orders. Here, the authors present a contrary example showing a superconducting dome inside the parent phase with a stripe charge order in IrTe2 nanoflakes and identi...

Second hyperpolarizability of hexagonal graphene quantum dots: Effects of size and structural defects

Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are nanosized fragments of graphene containing a bandgap caused by edge effects and quantum confinement. These features enable GQDs to have attractive photonics applications. During the preparation of graphene n...

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Addressing the current and future therapeutic advances along with the role of Sotatercept in the management of pulmonary hypertension

Abstract Background Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and debilitating lung disease characterized by irreversible scarring of the lungs. The cause of IPF is unknown, but it is thought to involve a combination of genetic a...

Inclusions in melting process of titanium and titanium alloys

This paper summarizes melting methods of titanium and titanium alloy, such as vacuum arc melting (VAR) and electron beam cold hearth melting (EBCHM), and the related inclusions formed when using these melting methods. Low-density inclusions...

High-temperature Infrared Transmission of Free-standing Diamond Films

The combination of low absorption and extreme mechanical and thermal properties make diamond a compelling choice for some more extreme far infrared (8-12 μm) window applications. The optical properties of CVD diamond at elevated temperature...

Biocompatible Nanocarriers for Enhanced Cancer Photodynamic Therapy Applications

In recent years, the role of nanotechnology in drug delivery has become increasingly important, and this field of research holds many potential benefits for cancer treatment, particularly, in achieving cancer cell targeting and reducing the...

Highly Sensitive and Specific Detection of Influenza A Viruses Using Bimolecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) Reporter System

In this study, we developed a highly sensitive and specific bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC)-based influenza A virus (IAV)-sensing system by combining a galactose/glucose-binding protein (GGBP) with an N-terminal large domain...

Extraction of nano-crystalline cellulose for development of aerogel: Structural, morphological and antibacterial analysis

In the present decades, nanocellulose has been very popular in the field of nanotechnology and is receiving much attention from researchers because of its advantageous physicochemical properties, high aspect ratio, and high specific strengt...

The Emerging Role of Nanomedicine in the Management of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A State-of-the-Art Review

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease that can lead to end-stage liver disease needing a liver transplant. Many pharmacological approaches are used to reduce the disease progression in NAFLD. However, cu...

Advances of medical nanorobots for future cancer treatments

Abstract Early detection and diagnosis of many cancers is very challenging. Late stage detection of a cancer always leads to high mortality rates. It is imperative to develop novel and more sensitive and effective diagnosis and therapeutic ...
