Cell Instructive Materials to Control and Guide Cell Function: Programmable Bioactive Interfaces looks at the key determinants of the dynamic interface between cell and materials and how this can be applied in developing new, bioactive biomaterials surfaces. The interface between cell and synthetic materials has attracted considerable scientific and technological interest, leading to the awareness that functional interfaces can actively guide and control specific adhesion and recognitions events. - Introduces readers to the fundamentals of complex cell-material interface dynamics - Provides valuable tools for the control of the interfacial dynamics to instruct and control cells or tissues functions - Covers the prospect of encoding specific cell instructions on, or within, a biomaterial by micro- and nano-patterning materials features

This book discusses the history of invertebrate fossil understanding and classification by exploring fossil studies between the 15th and 18th centuries. Before the modern age, the understanding of fossil findings went through several phases. The treatment by philologists, philosophers and historians of natural sciences involved religious, sometimes folkloristic, aspects before scientific ones. This work showcases and assesses these original findings by carrying out a bibliographical, and above all iconographical research, aimed at finding the first printed images of the objects that we now know as fossils. From here, the authors provide an understanding of the true nature of fossils by analyzing them through modern academic viewpoints, and describing each fossil group from a paleontological and taxonomic point of view, retracing their treatment in the course of the centuries. As a point of reference for each fossil group treated, the authors have considered indispensable the use of ancient prints as evidence of the first iconographic sources dedicated to fossils, starting from those in the late fifteenth century, dedicated to the most common groups of invertebrates without neglecting a necessary exception, the ichthyodontolites, fundamental in the discussion in Italy on the interpretation of the organic origin of fossils, and from the end of the sixteenth century to about half of the eighteenth century. The abundant iconographic apparatus used, often unpublished or specially reworked, is essential and functional to the understanding of the various aspects addressed, a visual complement to the text and vice versa, designed and used taking its cue from the need imposed on early scholars to document their discoveries visually. Among the chosen images there is no shortage of original attributions to fossil finds that have been poorly understood or misidentified until now. The English translation of this book from its Italian original manuscript was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service provider DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision of the content was done by the authors.
Photochemistry of Heterocycles is a comprehensive review of the topic, including photooxidation, photoreduction and photoaddition reactions as well as industrial aspects of heterocyclic photochemistry. Many materials used for the manufacturing of OLEDs and other electrooptical switches contain heterocycles, and the use of small molecules or polymers containing heterocyclic substances are being studied as new photovoltaic materials. This reference is ideal for synthetic organic chemists, specifically researchers working in organic photochemistry, as well as medicinal chemists and material scientists. Heterocyclic compounds are widely used in the modern world, and most of the drugs currently in use have heterocyclic nuclei among their constituents. These compounds are subject to a photochemical degradation processes which must be known and prevented. - Presents an authoritative and comprehensive review of the photochemistry of heterocycles - Covers the full spectrum of photochemical reactivity, including photoreduction and photoaddition reactions of heterocyclic compounds - Includes industrial aspects of heterocyclic photochemistry and materials used to manufacture OLEDs and other electrooptical switches
In questo secondo volume della trilogia, dopo aver individuato le fonti indicate nel primo libro, l'indagine sistematica procede attraverso la riproposizione e la rivisitazione degli straordinari avvenimenti che condussero alle fondazioni dei rinomati Ordini cavallereschi medievali. Tuttavia lo studio, che pur esamina le fasi dello sviluppo e della tragica decadenza che colpì le suddette fratellanze, è rivolto essenzialmente verso l'interpretazione, con chiave di lettura esoterica, del loro agire. Discostandosi dalle opinioni maggioritarie e convenzionali propugnate dalla critica storica moderna, al fine di far emergere le tracce celate che attestano il volontario coinvolgimento dei sodalizi in questione fin nel "cuore spirituale" della corrente del Santo Graal fluente nel Mezzogiorno della penisola italiana.
Il primo volume della trilogia intitolata: "La ricerca del Santo Graal nel Mezzogiorno d'Italia durante il Medioevo", dedicato all'Arcangelo Michele in quanto fonte dell'argomento trattato, è diviso in due parti. Entrambe contengono l'accurata descrizione dell' indagine condotta per recuperare ed interpretare, in chiave scientifico-spirituale, miti, racconti, leggende ed avvenimenti storici rinvenuti nel solco sensibile e soprasensibile tracciato dalla corrente del Graal fluita nel Mezzogiorno d'Italia unitamente alla corrente ad essa contrapposta.
C'erano passi cosi all'unisono nel bosco dei desii, che spiegarne poi da quale legge fisica fossero dettati, non trovava una spiegazione comprensibile. Si narra dell'incontro di due essenze che ignare del destino e del cammino che avrebbero vissuto, si erano dapprima intraviste, corteggiate, per poi unirsi in una luce unica. L'unica spiegazione logica in una razionalità della mente che non aveva senso, era nel godersi quell'attimo fino all'inverosimile. Un lungo viaggio in due tempi distinti. Dapprima alla ricerca sfrenata di sconfigger le lancette di un orologio biologico, che fremevano nel correr senza che si fossero mai sfiorati i corpi, per poi successivamente rievocare gli attimi trascorsi insieme portandoli all'eternità dello spirito. Il viaggio percorso allo spasmo di palpiti in cui la mente sovrana aveva lasciato spazio al loro palpitare.John e Dalida in un viaggio unico, osannando al sentimento più puro: L'amore.
Il linguaggio dell'Amore. Un concetto così vasto applicato a qualche mese di vita di un ragazzo, alla fine degli anni novanta. Una vita in cui niente sembrava increspare la superficie di un'esistenza che gli appariva piatta e già scritta. Fino a quando "Apparve una ragazza". Una piccola storia sulla scoperta dell'Amore e della Poesia.
