  • Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science

    Recent Advances in Nanocarriers
    • 1st Edition
    • Jorddy Neves Cruz + 2 more
    • English
    Green Sustainable Process for Chemical and Environmental Engineering and Science: Recent Advances in Nanocarriers covers nanocarrier synthesis techniques, as well as methods for encapsulating bioactive compounds. It explores the tests carried out to evaluate their pharmacological properties, in addition to investigating the recent results of clinical tests carried out for some nanocarriers. This book also addresses the most recent advances in nanocarriers and their diverse applications in modern medicine for the treatment of diseases and diagnostics. Nanocarriers play an important role in improving the treatment of diseases and diagnostic imaging as they can deliver medicines to specific locations for their actions and allow a prolonged release of the active compounds. This creates a need for researchers in academia and industry to obtain up-to-date knowledge about nanocarrier production and its pharmacological and biotechnological applications. This book contributes to this by providing the most recent and relevant topics on nanocarriers and by addressing pharmacological aspects for the treatment of various diseases, in addition to assessing the use for clinical diagnostics. So, it is a useful resource for students and researchers in the field of nanocarriers.

  • Oxetane Synthesis

    • 1st Edition
    • Navjeet Kaur
    • English
    Oxetane Synthesis rings play an important role as versatile motifs both in the overall formation of natural products and in synthetic organic chemistry. Oxetanes are important motifs in pharmaceutical chemistry that can confer improved metabolic and physicochemical properties. These developments continue to enhance the use of oxetanes in medicinal chemistry. Thanks to the growing commercial accessibility of oxetane possessing building blocks, together with improved approaches for the formation, oxetanes are likely to be progressively utilized in medicinal chemistry programs. Oxetanes are becoming valuable as a result of their vast diversity of uses in medicinal chemistry and varying applications. Several procedures have been developed for the formation and ring-opening of oxetanes to give important compounds in agrochemical, medicinal and material sciences. Novel approaches have been developed for the synthesis of oxetanes. These methods depend on both established synthetic approaches and development of many novel approaches for the formation of oxetanes.

  • Complexity and Complex Ecological Systems

    Complexity and Complex Ecological Systems is an extension of Elsevier’s 2021 book Complexity and Complex Chemo-Electric Systems directed toward the analysis and synthesis of diverse ecological processes running in heterogeneous macrosystems. Contemporary advanced techniques such as averaged analysis, food webs approaches, and classical optimization results along with some numerical algorithms are commonly used in ecosystems. This book treats ecological systems as specific functional integrities. In Complexity and Complex Ecological Systems, one can observe how various types of ecological heterogeneities can contribute to flows of living and inanimate parts of the moving pseudo-continuum. This book is a valuable reference for scientists, engineers, and graduate students of environmental, chemical, and biological engineering, helping them better understand complex macroscopic systems and enhance their technical skills in theoretical and practical research.
