Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

The usage of building energy accounts for 30–40% of total energy consumption in developed countries exceeding the amount for industry or transportation. Around 50% energy for building services is contributed by heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. More importantly both building and HVAC energy consumptions are predicted to increase in the next two decades. Windows are considered as the least energy-efficient components of buildings. Therefore smart windows are becoming increasingly important as they are capable of reducing HVAC energy usage by tuning the transmitted sunlight in a smart and favoured way: blocking solar irradiation on hot days while letting it pass through on cold days. Compared with other type of smart windows thermochromic windows have the unique advantages of cost-effectiveness rational stimulus and passive response. This book covers fabrication of vanadium dioxide–based smart windows discusses various strategies to enhance their performance and shares perspectives from the top scientists in this particular field. | Vanadium Dioxide-Based Thermochromic Smart Windows

Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Drugs Genetic Diseases and Epigenetics

Volume 7 of the Jenny Stanford Series on Biocatalysis deals with several different aspects of pharmaceuticals which include not only various applications of drugs and their metabolism but also natural resources for active pharmaceutical ingredients as well as the removal of pharmaceutical pollution. In detail novel approaches for developing microbial fermentation processes to produce vitamin B6 using microorganisms are described together with novel routes for vitamin B6 biosynthesis. The other topics discussed are new approaches for producing the successful anticancer drug Taxol from naturally occurring precursors molecular farming through plant engineering as a cost-effective means to produce therapeutic and prophylactic proteins and successful screening of potent microorganisms producing L-asparaginase for various chemotherapeutic applications. Furthermore microbial biotransformations in the production and degradation of fluorinated pharmaceuticals are described. The other chapters inform the reader about the biotransformation of xenobiotics/drugs in living systems the degradation of pharmaceuticals by white-rot fungi and their ligninolytic enzymes and the removal of pharmaceutical pollution from municipal sewage using laccase. | Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Drugs Genetic Diseases and Epigenetics

Ultrafine Bubbles

Ultrafine bubbles (UFBs) are gas-filled bubbles with a diameter smaller than 1 μm. They are sometimes called bulk nanobubbles because these are not on a solid surface but inside a bulk liquid (water). They are already being used in commercial processes such as cleaning and plant cultivation. However many mysteries still exist with respect to UFBs such as mechanisms of stability OH radical formation and biological and medical effects. This is the first book on UFBs that reviews research done on them. It is helpful for those interested in the fundamentals of this emerging field and its applications including cleaning biological medical and dental students and researchers.

Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Important Enzymes Novel Targets and Therapies

This volume of Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis starts with a discussion on the importance of biocatalytic synthesis approaches for a sustainable and environmentally friendly production of pharmaceuticals and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Among the enzymes discussed in detail with respect to their pharmaceutical relevance are cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases playing an important role in modulating signal transduction in various cell types; human DOPA decarboxylase related to Parkinson's disease and aromatic amino acid decarboxylase deficiency; and phospholipase D enzymes as drug targets. Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 and 2 mutations are novel therapeutic targets in acute myeloid leukemia. An additional chapter is devoted to the use of enzymes for prodrug activation in cancer therapy. The other topics include small-molecule inhibitors targeting receptor tyrosine kinases in cancer β-Lactams and related compounds as antibacterials non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants for the treatment of thromboembolic diseases and the molecular mechanisms for statin pleiotropy and its clinical relevance in cardiovascular diseases. The last chapter is a review of lysosomal storage disorders with an overview of approved drugs for treating these disorders by enzyme replacement therapy. | Pharmaceutical Biocatalysis Important Enzymes Novel Targets and Therapies

Physics and Future of Hurricanes

This monograph is about hurricanes prompted by a discovery that suggests they will become more powerful with global warming. It provides at a college physics level a basic understanding of hurricanes emphasizing the flow of energy into and out of these storms and as a textbook covers some material that might be taught in meteorology or atmospheric physics courses. The text is centered on a new discovery that is not in any existing textbook. Because of the new discovery the book is of immediate interest to all meteorologists. It turns out that hurricanes as revealed by the new discovery are usefully regarded as a separate phase of matter bringing in characteristic temperature dependences near their transitions. The role of phase change in understanding hurricanes brings in the 20th-century discoveries in theoretical physics relating to critical phenomena with non-intuitive values of the critical exponent β entering the formula P = const (T – Tc)β where P is a characteristic strength parameter or order parameter of the phase of matter appearing at Tc. According to the new discovery on hurricanes it appears that taking the wind velocity as the order parameter P the critical exponent is near 1/3. In a second discovery we find that a small correction to this value is brought in by the complicated physics of the renormalization group that earned K. G. Wilson the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1982. | Physics and Future of Hurricanes
