CERAMICSA Biography of Bioglassby Larry L Hench (University of Florida, USA & Imperial College London, UK)

This is the personal story of a remarkable discovery that has changed the course of medicine and repair of the human body. For millennia it was accepted that the human body would ultimately reject all foreign materials — the so-called “biocompatibility barrier”. A fateful encounter between the author and a colonel in the US Army Medical Corps on a bus ride in 1967 led to research that created a special composition of glass that was not rejected — but in fact, became bonded to living bone. This unique material, called Bioglass, launched a revolution in repair of the human body by use of bioactive materials, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. This is the story that chronicles the steps from the seminal concept of bioactivity to clinical repair of millions of patients. This is the story of a team of creative people on two continents working together. It is a story that offers hope to improve the quality of life for our aging population.

Readership: Life scientists, biomedical engineers and stem cell scientists.

These lectures describe a way of understanding MOSFETs and other transistors that is much more suitable than traditional approaches when the critical dimensions are measured in nanometers. It uses a novel, “bottom-up approach” that agrees with traditional methods when devices are large, but that also works for nano-devices. Surprisingly, the final result looks much like the traditional, textbook, transistor models, but the parameters in the equations have simple, clear interpretations at the nanoscale. The objective is to provide readers with an understanding of the essential physics of nanoscale transistors as well as some of the practical technological considerations and fundamental limits.

Fractional Kinetics in SolidsAnomalous Charge Transport in Semiconductors, Dielectrics and Nanosystemsby Vladimir Uchaikin & Renat Sibatov (Ulyanovsk State University, Russia)

In this book, a novel approach using equations with derivatives of fractional orders is applied to describe anomalous transport and relaxation in disordered semiconductors, dielectrics and quantum dot systems. A relationship between the self-similarity of transport, the Levy stable limiting distributions and the kinetic equations with fractional derivatives is established. It is shown that unlike the well-known Scher – Montroll and Arkhipov – Rudenko models, fractional differential equations provide a unified mathematical framework for describing normal and dispersive transport.

Man lubricates mostly with oil. Nature lubricates exclusively with water. Pure water is a poor lubricant, but the addition of proteins, especially glycoproteins, can modify surfaces to make them far more lubricating at slow speeds. Understanding how nature does this, and the physical structures involved, is not only important for the understanding of diseases such as osteoarthritis, but also essential for the successful application of articulating implants. This book is the first of its kind. It brings together the latest research in biological and biomimetic, water-based lubrication and is authored by the world’s experts in the field.

Readership: Academic and industrial tribologists, materials scientists, biomechanics professionals, and physicists and chemists with an interest in tribology.

SPINhttp://www.worldscientific.com/worldscinet/spin

Spin electronics is a rapidly emerging field which is based on taking advantage of the unique properties of the spin of the electron, the nucleus and other fundamental particles, as well as that of the photon. Spin electronics has special importance as conventional electronics reaches its physical limitations. Novel sensing, memory and logic devices, which rely on generating, manipulating and detecting the electron’s spin, as well as using currents of spin-polarized electrons to manipulate magnetization in the form of magnetic nanoelements and magnetic domain walls, have emerged in recent years. SPIN aims to provide a forum for the presentation of research and review articles of interest to all researchers in the field.
