Nanotechnology for the delivery of therapeutic nucleic acids / edited by Dan Peer.
No full textpharmacy bookfair2015xiii, 226 pages ;Nucleic acid (NA) therapeutics has been extensively studied both in the academia and in the pharmaceutical industry and is still considered the promise for new therapeutic modalities, especially in personalized medicine. The only hurdle that limits the translation of NA therapeutics from an academic idea to the new therapeutic modality is the lack of efficient and safe delivery strategies. Nanotechnology for the Delivery of Therapeutic Nucleic Acids , written by world experts in the field of nanotechnology for NA delivery, the contributing authors bring together the state of the art in delivery strategies with strong emphasis on aspects that are of essence to the pharmaceutical industry, such as stability, general toxicity, immune-toxicity, pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and validation of new drug targets using unique approaches based on exquisite nanotechnology strategies
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.xvii, 518 p. :Suitable for engineers, technicians and students, this title covers fundamentals of design, electrochemistry, heat and mass transport, as well as provides the context of system design and applications. It covers various aspects of (Proton Exchange Membrane) PEM fuel cells, from theory and fundamentals to practical applications.
"Demand for fuel cell technology is growing rapidly. Fuel cells are being commercialized to provide power to buildings like hospitals and schools, to replace batteries in portable electronic devices, and as replacements for internal combustion engines in vehicles. PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) fuel cells are lighter, smaller, and more efficient than other types of fuel cell. As a result, over 80% of fuel cell
An introduction to continuum mechanics / J.N. Reddy.
No full textengineering bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xxvi, 450 pages :"This best-selling textbook presents the concepts of continuum mechanics in a simple yet rigorous manner. The book introduces the invariant form as well as the component form of the basic equations and their applications to problems in elasticity, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, and offers a brief introduction to linear viscoelasticity. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students looking to gain a strong background in the basic principles common to all major engineering fields, and for those who will pursue further work in fluid dynamics, elasticity, plates and shells, viscoelasticity, plasticity, and interdisciplinary areas such as geomechanics, biomechanics, mechanobiology, and nanoscience. The book features derivations of the basic equations of mechanics in invariant (vector and tensor) form and specification of the governing equations to various coordinate systems, and numerous illustrative examples, chapter summaries, and exercise problems. This second edition includes additional explanations, examples, and problems"-
Game design theory : a new philosophy for understanding games / Keith Burgun.
No full textIncludes index.computer bookfair2015xxii, 165 pages :"This work looks at how digital games fit into the long history of games and offers solutions to some of video games toughest design challenges. It covers the art and craft of developing a set of rules to create a contest between players or other agents, targeted specifically at digital game designers. The author outlines a somewhat radical philosophy based on thousands of years of game design, illustrating how we must adhere to these ancient principles if we are to improve digital games in the future"-- Provided by publisher
Critical turning points in the Middle East : 1915 - 2015 / Nayef R.F. Al-Rodhan, Graeme Herd, Lisa Watanabe.

Effect of Day-lighting Strategies on Thermal Performance in HistoricalBuildings
No full textThe city of Cairo in Egypt, as it was inscribed on the world heritage list in 1997 under the title of “Islamic Cairo”
, recognizing its absolutely unquestionable historical, archaeological and urbanistic importance, on the recommendation of the International Council for Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS). Historical Cairo proved overtime to be one of the distinctive cities that contains a group of spatial relations, environmental and climatic solutions, which made its urban fabric and architectural compositions able to interact efficiently with climate and local environment. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the day lighting design strategies that made “Islamic Cairo” a distinctive sustainable environmental city, one day lighting strategy evaluated simultaneously in terms of indoor environmental quality; to reach the design criteria used by architects at that era. The erformance of ahistorical building evaluated using computer simulation. This research process led to deriving a mathematical relation that link permitted day lighting with its accompanied thermal impact. The research findings led also to performative design guidelines, introducing a contemporary interpretation for using historical elements.Building Simulation Cairo 2013 Conference - Towards Sustainable & Green Built Environmen
