In this volume, a team of internationally recognized experts provide an in-depth description of therapeutic biomarkers across a broad area of cancer research and oncology. With a wealth of information to specific therapies, each chapter focuses on a class of targeted chemotherapy agents. The book describes established and evolving diagnostic tests...

This book highlights the outstanding role of hydrogen in energy processes, where it is the most functional element due to its unique peculiarities that are highlighted and emphasized in the book. The first half of the book covers the great natural hydrogen processes in biology, chemistry, and physics, showing that hydrogen is a trend that can unite...

As nanomaterials and their end products occupy the pinnacle position of consumer markets, it becomes vital to analyze their generation processes. One of the green chemistry principles underlines the need for unusual energy sources to generate them. Utilizing the extreme energy from the collapse of cavitation bubbles, generated by either ultrasound...

This book describes new biomaterials based on nanostructural chemically bonded bioceramics, which are widely used as general construction materials, but have found new applications as biomaterials. These biomaterials are produced in situ and in vivo mainly using hydration reactions, that is, reactions between phosphates, silicates, or aluminates...

Atomic correlations have been studied in physics for over 50 years and known as collective effects until recently when they came to be recognized as a source of entanglement. This is the first book that contains detailed and comprehensive analysis of two currently extensively studied subjects of atomic and quantum physics-atomic correlations and...

This book explores why cobalt oxides have drawn interest as functional materials due to their peculiar physical properties partially originating from a rich variety of the valence and spin state of cobalt ions. The book starts with the basics of condensed matter physics and advances toward the strong electron correlation system stage. It also...
