Summary

Over the last few decades, numerous nanoparticle platforms have been studied for their use in therapeutic applications. This book deals with the description of the construction of technical systems that combines different functionalities which bring liposomes, polymer-drug conjugates, polymer-protein conjugates, dendrimers, polymeric micelles, polymerosomes and other nanoparticles into the realm of nanotechnology proper, as opposed to traditional pharmacology or supramolecular chemistry. The volume additionally covers topics such as passive and active targeting, the strategies used for drug targeting, and the synthesis and characterization of polymeric nanoparticle platforms. Targeted polymeric nanomedicines have shown exciting results in preclinical studies, demonstrating their potential as therapeutic carriers. Therefore, the development of polymeric nanomedicines as therapeutic agents has generated great enthusiasm both in academia and industry. 
The book is systematically divided into chapters devoted to a class of polymeric nanomedicines. Each chapter also describes relevant aspects relating to drug design and targeting of polymeric nanomedicines wherever possible.
In addition, a series of chapters concerning the contribution of polymeric nanomedicines in the treatment of several categories of diseases including cancer, inflammatory, renal, immunological diseases, and brain disorders is also presented. 
Key features of this book include:
a comprehensive and cutting-edge overview of polymeric nanomedicines available in a single dedicated volume 
Discussions on advances in drug delivery systems for a variety of diseases
more than 2000 references, tables, equations, and drawings 
Readers, whether beginners or experts, will find in this book, contemporary and relevant information regarding the synthesis, evaluation and applications of polymeric nanomedicines. Supplemented with extensive bibliographic references, tables and figures, this book is an essential and incomparable reference for medicinal chemists, biologists, and medical (oncologic) researchers, as well as for scientists, undergraduate and graduate students in the field of medical bioengineering and polymer nanoscience.

    This book contains 3 topics, all centered around astronomy: 
    1 - Cosmology: Welcome to a journey through the depths of space and time, a voyage into the heart of the cosmos, and an exploration of the most profound mysteries our universe holds. This is a book about cosmology—a science that unveils the grandeur of the universe, its history, its structure, and its deepest secrets. It's a journey through the vast expanses of space, where galaxies collide, stars are born and die, and black holes lurk in cosmic shadows. But it's also a journey through the frontiers of human knowledge and imagination, where the quantum world meets the cosmic expanse. 
    2 - Photometry: In the vast expanse of the universe, where the night sky reveals countless stars, planets, and galaxies, the pursuit of knowledge knows no bounds. Among the many tools at the disposal of astronomers and astrophysicists, photometry stands as a beacon of precision and insight. This book, "Photometry: Science, Sensitivity, and Its Connection to Astronomy," is your guided journey into the fascinating world of measuring and interpreting light in the cosmos. 
    3 - Spectroscopy: Spectroscopy, the study of the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation, may sound complex and esoteric, but at its heart lies a simple and profound idea: the colors of light can reveal the secrets of the universe. From the examination of distant stars to the analysis of molecules in a laboratory, spectroscopy is the key that unlocks the hidden stories encoded in light.

    42 Reasons to Hate the Universe...

    If you've always suspected the universe was out to get you . . . you were right! 
     
     
     
    Yes, the universe we live in is cosmically beautiful and mysterious and all that crap. But it's also a bit of an asshole. After all, remember that you are just a group of atoms structured in a specific way for barely long enough to try to understand this thing we call existence. Those atoms could just have easily been used to make the dog shit you're cleaning off your shoe or the mold that grows on your bread! The fact is, when you zoom out to look at the universe and how it functions, you'll see that it's usually not in our favor, and many of the laws of physics are actively working against our survival. In this book, you'll discover why you're an aging mutant; invisible rays are melting our genetic code; literally everything is poisonous; and more true and terrifying scientific facts! 
     
     
     
    But don't worry! While it's true that there are (at least) forty-two grudges to hold against the universe, the good news is that there is also one very good reason to forgive them all and embrace the wild, improbable fact that we are alive (for now) and we should take advantage of it while we can. 42 Reasons to Hate the Universe (And One Reason Not To) is a hilarious, no-holds-barred exploration of all the reasons we shouldn't exist—but somehow do anyway.

    The Unknown Universe - How Dark...

    The concept of dark space challenges the fundamental ideas that have shaped our understanding of the universe. It represents an arena where classical physics gives way to modern theories, and the behavior of matter and energy diverges from the patterns we witness in the observable cosmos. The exploration of dark space begins with the study of phenomena that remain unseen, defying explanation by the familiar laws of gravity and electromagnetism. These early observations laid the groundwork for an evolving narrative, one that demands a deeper inquiry into the nature of the universe. 
    In the early years of astrophysical studies, astronomers noted that stars and galaxies did not behave as expected under the influence of the visible matter alone. The gravitational pull observed in many astronomical systems suggested there was a missing mass, an invisible component exerting a force that could only be hypothesized. This realization propelled the scientific community into a series of investigations that spanned decades, eventually coalescing into the idea that the universe is infused with a mysterious, shadowy substance. Dark space, as it came to be known, did not just reside in the periphery of known celestial structures but actively shaped the evolution and clustering of galaxies. 
    A significant development in understanding dark space was its relation to the fabric of space-time, a concept introduced through the groundbreaking work of theoretical physicists. The theoretical framework of general relativity, which redefined gravity as the curvature of space-time, provided an initial platform for conceptualizing how dark space might interact with the known universe. If dark space influences the gravitational dynamics of visible matter, then its presence must be essential in explaining the anomalies observed in galactic rotations and the distribution of matter at cosmic scales.
