A comprehensive guide to an explosively popular and transformative technology Nanotechnology has revolutionized the manipulation of matter at the molecular level, with extraordinary consequences for a huge range of technological and scientific fields. Metallic, magnetic and carbon-based nanomaterials have been at the forefront of this revolution, with their impact felt especially strongly in biomedical industries. The future of drug delivery, imaging, diagnostics, and more will be transformed by nanotechnology and its ever-growing applications. Metallic, Magnetic and Carbon-Based Nanomaterials offers a comprehensive introduction to these materials and their recent developments. Beginning with the foundational concepts of nanotechnology, its characterization, and its methods, the book moves through major categories of nanotechnology in turn. Detailed discussion of applications and future areas of research rounds out an indispensable volume. Metallic, Magnetic and Carbon-Based Nanomaterials readers will also find: Fully up-to-date data on major nanotechnology synthesis techniquesDetailed discussion of nanotechnologies including quantum dots, magnetic nanoparticles, graphene, and many moreAnalysis of applications including tumor biology investigation, in vivo animal imaging, and others Metallic, Magnetic and Carbon-Based Nanomaterials is ideal for graduate students in pharmaceutical sciences, biomedical engineering, and materials sciences. It is also a useful reference book for researchers working in the areas of biomedical engineering and nanomaterials synthesis, as well as those working in toxicology, especially nanotoxicology.

The 24th Infantry Division, the Victory Division, has distinguished itself as one of the most outstanding divisions in the United States Army. The soldiers who graced the ranks of the 24th Infantry Division earned the distinct of being the first to inflict enemy casualties on December 7, 1941, in defiance of the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor. As a result the Division's motto was selected to be "First to Fight!"Dubbed "Taro Leafers" because of the Division's Hawaii birthplace, their motto took on new meaning as they proved their ability to respond rapidly to crises anywhere in the world.

This book outlines how to reorganize the U.S. Army into a fully 2 and 3-Dimensional maneuver capable, ground force with terrain-agile, armored fighting vehicles sized to rapidly deploy by fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft to the scene of world conflicts and strike at the heart of freedom¿s enemies. The plan to build the Army into Air-Mech-Strike Forces, exploiting emerging information-age technologies, as well as Americäs supremacy in aircraft and helicopter delivery systems---at the lowest cost to the taxpayers, is described in detail. These Army warfighting organizations, using existing and some newly purchased equipment, will shape the battlefield to Americäs advantage, preserving the peace before it is lost; if not, then winning fights that must be fought quickly. The dangerous world we live in moves by the speed of the AIR, and the 21st Century U.S. Army 2D/3D combat team will dominate this medium by Air-Mech-Strike!

Microplastics in Urban Water Management Enables readers to understand the true occurrence and fate of microplastics in drinking water, wastewater and sludge, and receiving water Microplastics in Urban Water Management focuses on the occurrence, fate, effect, and removal of microplastics in the urban water management systems, summarizing relevant methods for enhancing microplastics removal and degradation, providing comprehensive data from source to sink (including occurrence and fate of microplastics in urban water management), and covering practical applications, which are expected to provide some theoretical guidance for controlling or mitigating microplastics pollution and its environmental risks. The work also includes detailed multidisciplinary information on the way in which microplastics behave in urban water management, plus recent advances of nanoplastics, i.e., nano-sized microplastics, in the aquatic environment. In Microplastics in Urban Water Management, readers can expect to find detailed information on sample topics such as: Techniques for microplastics detection, including sample collection, purification, identification, and quantitation, plus the definition, emergence, occurrence, and removal of microplastics Elements of microplastics in wastewater treatment plants; for instance, the ecotoxicological effect on the biological treatment of wastewater and sludge Why the discharge of microplastics from wastewater treatment plants is the important source of microplastics in the receiving waters Potential environmental risks of microplastic contamination in receiving water systems and evidence that microplastics can absorb, collect and transport environmental contaminants as vectors For practicing toxicologists, biologists, environmental and chemical engineers, and ecology professionals, as well as researchers and graduate students in these disciplines, Microplastics in Urban Water Management is an essential all-in-one guide to understanding the current state of microplastics in our world and potential solutions for the future.
