Das Aachener Steinkohlengebiet zeichnet sich im Vergleich zu den Steinkohlen lagerstiitten des niederrheinisch-westfiilischen Gebietes durch eine groBe tek tonische und stratigraphische Mannigfaltigkeit aus. Trotz jahrelanger Forschungen auf dies em Gebiet ist es auch heute noch in der Praxis nicht moglich, eine sichere Identifizierung der FlOze an Hand einfacher Untersuchungsmethoden vorzuneh men. Eine gleichmiiBige Ausbildung der Gesteinsschichten ist nur flir regional eng begrenzte Riiume zu erwarten, und die Aufstellung eines fiir das gesamte Gebiet giiltigen Normalprofils ist nicht moglich. Selbst die fiir einzelne Gruben angefertig ten Schichtenprofile lassen nur anniiherungsweise Schliisse auf die Ablagerungsfol ge in diesem beschriinkten Gebiet zu. In der Hoffnung, weitere, bisher nicht beriicksichtigte, charakteristische Merk male der Gesteine aufzuspiiren, die moglicherweise zur Identifizierung der FlOze herangezogen werden konnten, wurden die Untersuchungen der Radioaktivitiit der Sedimente im Aachener Raum begonnen. In den letzten Jahren wurden eine Reihe von Arbeiten, die sich mit Radioaktivitiits messungen befassen, veroffentlicht. So beschrieb KOHL in seiner Monographie iiber das Vorkommen von Uran ( 17], 1954) und anderen Aufsiitzen ( 19], 1951) die Bemiihungen franzosicher Wissenschaftler urn die Auffindung mariner Hori zonte mittels Radioaktivitiitsmessungen. Marine Schichten weisen im Gebiet von Valenciennes eine bis zu zehnfach hoheren Radiumgehalt als nichtmarine Sedi mente auf. Als Grund fiir diese Erscheinungen werden sekundiire Absorptions effekte von Uran an Tonmineralien bzw. die Ausfiillung von Radium aus dem Meerwasser wiihrend der Sedimentation ( 18], 1951) angenommen."

Der lichtelektrische Effekt im Rontgengebiet, d. h. die Auslosung sekundarer Elektronen durch monochromatische Rontgenstrahlen, ist bisher noch nicht zur genauen Bestimmung von h verwertet worden. Zwar ist die beim lichtelektrischen Effekt im optischen Gebiet wesentliche "Austrittsarbeit" P von wenigen Volt gegeniiber der nach vielen tausend Volt zahlenden Geschwindigkeit der Elek tronen, die die Rontgenstrahlen erzeugen, nur eine unbedeutende Korrektions groBe; dafiir tritt aber die Ablosearbeit der fest ans Atom gebundenen, inneren Atomelektronen in Wirksamkeit, die von ahnlicher GroBe wie die Quanten energie h. y der aus16senden Rontgenstrahlen ist. Die groBte Intensitat der sekundaren Elektronen besitzen gerade die festgebundenen Elektronen, fiir deren Abtrennung die wirksame Quantenenergie eben hinreicht; zugleich treten aber auch Elektronen aus dem bestrahlten Korper aus, die aus anderen Energie stufen des Atoms stammen, und es ist bisher noch nicht gelungen, die Geschwindig keit der entstehenden, verschieden schnellen Elektronen so genau zu messen, daB die hieraus abgeleitete h-Bestimmung an die Genauigkeit der anderen Me 1 thoden heranreichte Auch die ElektronenstoBmethode ist im Rontgengebiet prinzipiell anwendbar.

Das vorliegende Buch ist als Fortsetzung der "Probleme der Zellteilung" gedacht, deren Inhalt daher als bekannt vorausgesetzt wird. Ich habe jede Wiederholung des im ersten Bande Ent haltenen vermieden und fuhre den Leser sofort in medias res ein. Es wird sicher auffallen, dass im Gegensatz zum ersten Bande das Problem der Zellteilung als solches ganz in den Hintergrund tritt und gar nicht diskutiert wird. Es zeigte sich namlich in den letzten Jahren immer mehr, dass hier ein weiteres Vordringen auf dem von uns eingeschlagenen Wege eine gewaltige Vorarbeit auf anderen Gebieten der mitogenetischen Strahlungsforschung voraussetzte, die uns in den verflossenen Jahren vollstandig in Anspruch nahm, aber jetzt zu einem gewissen, partiellen Ab schlusse gelangte, da die wesentlichen Vorbedingungen des Zu standekommens des mitogenetischen Effektes gegenwartig als einigermassen geklart gelten durften. Das Buch ist im ubrigen in viel geringerem Masse eine Zu sammenfassung des bisher Veroffentlichten, als eine abgerundete Darstellung und theoretische Verwertung einer sehr grossen Anzahl neuerer Ergebnisse, sowohl aus unserem Laboratorium, wie auch von fremden Forschern, die mir ihre Ergebnisse in freundlicher Weise zur Verfugung stellten. Die ganze Lehre von der mito genetischen Strahlung erhalt nunmehr ein in manchen Zugen vollig neues Gewand, welches hoffentlich zur Klarung der noch bestehenden Missverstandnisse fuhren wird.

Das grosse. Interesse, das diesen Fragen entgegen gebracht wird, veranlasst mich, in dem vorliegenden Bandchen einen Uberblick uber das genannte Thema zu geben. Da uber die altere Entwickelung des Gebietes, die dem Studium der radioaktiven Umwandlungen der Elemente galt, zahlreiche auch populare Schriften vorliegen, habe ich die Umwandlungstheorie verhaltnismassig kurz behandelt und das Hauptgewicht auf die neuere Lehre von den isotopen Elementen gelegt, wobei auch die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der Spektro skopie der Rontgenstrahlen und der Erforschung der Atom struktur gestreift wurden. Die Darstellung wurde auf einem solchen Niveau gehalten, dass sie (bis auf ganz wenige spezielleren Fragen gewidmete Abschnitte) wohl jedem Leser, dem die Grundlagen der Physik und Chemie bekannt sind, verstandlich sein durfte. Ich hoffe aber, dass das Buchlein auch physikalischen und chemischen Fachmannern willkommen sein wird, die die rasche Ent wickelung des Gebietes nicht selbst an der Hand der Original literatur verfolgen konnen."

Die vorliegende Arbeit bezweckt, eine Ubersicht uber die Untersuchungen an radioaktiven Substanzen zu geben, die ich seit mehr als vier Jahren ausfuhre. Der Ausgangspunkt war eine Untersuchung der von Herrn Becquerel entdeckten Uran strahlen. Die Resultate, zu welchen diese Arbeit mich fuhrte, schienen eine so interessante Perspektive zu eroffnen, dass Herr Curie, unter Aufgabe seiner eigenen Arbeiten, sich mit mir ver einigte und wir gemeinsam auf das Ziel hinarbeiteten, die neuen radioaktiven Substanzen zu extrahiren und naher zu er. forschen. Von Anfang unserer Untersuchungen an hielten wir uns fur verpflichtet, Proben der von uns entdeckten und hergestellten Substanzen an einige Physiker zu verleihen, vor allen Dingen an Herrn Becquerel, den Entdecker der Uran strahlen. So haben wir selbst die Untersuchungen andrer uber die radioaktiven Sub stanzen erleichtert. Bald nach unsren ersten Veroffentlichungen befasste sich auch Herr Giesel in Deutschland mit der Herstellung dieser Substanzrn und verlieh ebenfalls Proben davon an mehrere deutsche Physiker. Spater wurden die Substanzen in Deutsch land und Frankreich in den Handel gebracht und die immer mehr zunehmende Wichtigkeit des Gegenstandes wurde die Veranlassung zu einer wissenschaftlichen Bewegung, so dass zahlreiche Arbeiten uber die radioaktiven Korper erschienen sind und noch fort wahrend erscheinen, vor allem im Ausland.

Recent advances witness the potential to employ nanomedicine and game-changing methods to deliver drug molecules directly to diseased sites. To optimize and then enhance the efficacy and specificity, the control and guidance of drug carriers in vasculature has become crucial. Current bottlenecks in the optimal design of drug carrying particles are the lack of knowledge about the transport of particles, adhesion on endothelium wall and subsequent internalization into diseased cells. To study the transport and adhesion of particle in vasculature, the authors have made great efforts to numerically investigate the dynamic and adhesive motions of particles in the blood flow. This book discusses the recent achievements from the establishment of fundamental physical problem to development of multiscale model, and finally large scale simulations for understanding transport of particle-based drug carriers in blood flow.

Nanomedicine is a developing field, which includes different disciplines such as material science, chemistry, engineering and medicine devoted to the design, synthesis and construction of high-tech nanostructures. The ability of these structures to have their chemical and physical properties tuned by structural modification, has allowed their use in drug delivery systems, gene therapy delivery, and various types of theranostic approaches. Colloidal noble metal nanoparticles and other nanostructures have many therapeutic and diagnostic applications. The concept of drug targeting as a magic bullet has led to much research in chemical modification to design and optimize the binding to targeted receptors. It is important to understand the precise relationship between the drug and the carrier and its ability to target specific tissues, and pathogens to make an efficient drug delivery system. This book covers advances based on different drug delivery systems: polymeric and hyper branched nanomaterials, carbon-based nanomaterials, nature-inspired nanomaterials, and pathogen-based carriers.

Janus, the ancient Roman god depicted with two faces is an appropriate metaphor for light therapy. In the right photodynamic therapy conditions, light is able to kill nearly anything that is living such as cancers, microorganisms, parasites, and more. On the opposite face, light of the correct wavelength and proper dose (photobiomodulation) can heal, regenerate, protect, revitalize and restore any kind of dead, damaged, stressed, dying, degenerating cells, tissue, or organ system. This book discusses both sides of Janus' face in regards to light therapy.

The new field of physical biology fuses biology and physics. New technologies have allowed researchers to observe the inner workings of the living cell, one cell at a time. With an abundance of new data collected on individual cells, including observations of individual molecules and their interactions, researchers are developing a quantitative, physics-based understanding of life at the molecular level. They are building detailed models of how cells use molecular circuits to gather and process information, signal to each other, manage noise and variability, and adapt to their environment. This book narrows down the scope of physical biology by focusing on the microbial cell. It explores the physical phenomena of noise, feedback, and variability that arise in the cellular information-processing circuits used by bacteria. It looks at the microbe from a physics perspective, to ask how the cell optimizes its function to live within the constraints of physics. It introduces a physical and information based - as opposed to microbiological - perspective on communication and signaling between microbes. The book is aimed at non-expert scientists who wish to understand some of the most important emerging themes of physical biology, and to see how they help us to understand the most basic forms of life.
