So where will nanotechnology lead us in the coming years? Will nanotechnology become a mature and well-accepted technology, or will there be disappointment due to unrealised promises? Arie Rip, in his article The Folk Theories of Nanotechnology,1 suggests that nanotechnology could follow a narrative of initial enthusi…
It must be understood that the mechanism that achieves filtration of small particles from a gas stream is not simple sieving. The spacing between fabric threads may be on the order of 50 to 75 microns, yet particles of 1 micron diameter and less are collected efficiently. Indeed, the primary collection mechanisms incl…
With the progress of molecular biology and genetics, particularly with the identi cation, sequencing, and characterization of an increasing number of pathogenic genes, genetic therapy has appeared as a therapeutic modality with a tremendous potential impact on the quality of human life. In general, genetic therapy con…
A good example of a mixed analog-digital FPGA application is the embedded particle tracking silicon microscope, developed originally for investigations in radiation biology [1], but then used extensively for the characterization of radiation effects in silicon strip sensors [2]. It makes use of many FPGA resources, su…

Our days are so crowded and our hours are so few. And there’s so little time and so much to do. —Helen Steiner Rice A program management life cycle can help program professionals in their quest to minimize their busy world, and it is during this life cycle in which the program’s benefits are realized and sustained. Ho…

Space, the final frontier, to boldly go where no man has gone before…. This was the vision for the 20th century, to expand our horizons beyond our planet and the known universe by exploring light years (1015 m) into space. Yet all around us is a whole world waiting to be discovered at the nanoscale. Thus, the challeng…
Second harmonic generation (SHG) imaging microscopy has great potential for visualization of disease states where there is change in collagen structure. is is because SHG, as a second-order nonlinear optical process, requires a noncentrosymmetric environment, and tissue alterations modify the overall symmetry of the c…
Accordingly, the least-square estimators can be calculated along with their variances and covariances from expected values of variances and co variances of order statistics from random samples from distributions of the type (1/rr)[f(x - !J-)/rr]. The means, variances, and covariances of order statistics are available…
Titanium dioxide (both rutile and anatase) has mainly been used as a pigment for paints, plastics, paper, glass, leather, and cosmetics (sunscreen). The key functional property of TiO2 for these applications is its bright white color and resistance to decoloration under UV light. Awareness is growing, however, that Ti…
Food technology may be defined as a controlled attempt to preserve, transform, create, or destroy a structure that has been imparted by nature or processing. In order to achieve this complex goal, it is required to understand the materials (building blocks) and ingredients used in their manufacture [1]. In a first attem…

In such applications, size reduction is the goal. e accompanying change of properties, and the shi of balance between mechanical and electrostatic forces are well-recognized consequences, which may be desirable or not but appear at rst sight to be of lesser importance than the function of the device.
INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is evolving rapidly with much more potential impacts in the treatment of chronic diseases such as cancer and diabetes, respiratory diseases such as asthma, and ocular diseases, and in gene therapy. Scientific community worldwide has been working toward discovering “nanoscale” solutions to t…

Renewable energy is a basic ingredient for overall sustainable development. Renewable fuel sources have the potential to provide energy supplies for an indefinite period of time. First generation biofuels have good fuel properties and their production processes are commercially well developed and successfully implemen…
The real world of polymer translocation is far more complex than the rudimentary physical models developed in the preceding chapters. The complexity of the phenomenon arises due to particular combinations of entropic contributions from polymer conformations and energetic contributions from polymer-pore interactions th…
