Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles (Hardcover, Edition.): Kevin Kendall, Michaela Kendall, Florian Rehfeldt Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles (Hardcover, Edition.)

"Adhesion of Cells, Viruses and Nanoparticles" describes the adhesion of cells, viruses and nanoparticles starting from the basic principles of adhesion science, familiar to postgraduates, and leading on to recent research results. The underlying theory is that of van der Waals forces acting between cells and substrates, embodied in the molecules lying at the surfaces, together with the geometry and elasticity of the materials involved. The first part describes the fundamental background to adhesion principles, including the phenomenology, the important equations and the modeling ideas. Then the mechanisms of adhesion are explored in the second part, including the elastic deformations of spheres and the importance of the energy of adhesion as measured in various tests. It is demonstrated that adhesion of cells is statistical and depends on Brownian movement and on the complex multiple contacts that can form as cells move around. Then, detailed chapters on cell adhesion, contact of viruses and aggregation of nanoparticles follow in Part 3. Finally, the last chapter looks to the future understanding of cell adhesion and points out some interesting directions of research, development and treatment of diseases related to these phenomena. This book is an ideal resource for researchers on adhesion molecules, receptors, cell and tissue culturing, virus infection, toxicity of nanoparticles and bioreactor fouling. It can also be used to support undergraduate and Masters level teaching courses. "This is a fascinating book and it is an invaluable resource for understanding particle-particle/surface adhesion at micro- and nano- scales. I intend to keep one for my future reference and highly recommend it to my students." (Prof. Zhibing Zhang, School of Chemical Engineering, University of Birmingham, UK)

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2003 im Fachbereich Sozialpadagogik / Sozialarbeit, Note: 1,3, Philipps-Universitat Marburg (Gesellschaftswissenschaften und Philosophie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Ob auf Tagungen, bei Lehrveranstaltungen oder in der offentlichen Diskussion, das Thema soziologische Organisationsberatung hat in den letzten Jahren stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Auf der einen Seite gibt es immer mehr Soziologen1, die mit Beratung ihre Existenz sichern, und auf der anderen Seite wird Organisationsberatung auch fur die akademische Soziologie zunehmend interessant. Hat die soziologische Organisationsberatung in diesem Zuge ihre Chance oder ist sie vielleicht nicht schon auf dem Weg zur Professionalisierung? Was macht soziologische Beratung aus, und an welchen Stellen setzt sie an? Kann angesichts der Tatsache, dass sich auch das Beratungsverstandnis kommerzieller Organisationsberater gewandelt hat, wirklich von einer spezifisch soziologischen Organisationsberatung gesprochen werden? Wie wird die theoretische Konzeption des soziologischen Beratungsansatzes konkret in die Praxis umgesetzt? Die Beantwortung dieser und ahnlicher Fragen nimmt die Debatte uber eine Professionalisierung der soziologischen Organisationsberatung auf und tragt gleichzeitig zum zweifellos noch nicht abgeschlossenen Selbstfindungsprozess der soziologischen Organisationsberatung bei. Das Forschungsinteresse bei der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, herauszufinden, mit welchen spezifischen Merkmalen sich die soziologische Organisationsberatung in der Organisationsberaterbranche etabliert und ob sie professionalisiert werden kann. Gang der Untersuchung: Die Arbeit ist in vier Teile gegliedert. Im ersten Teil erfolgen einige grundlegende Anmerkungen zum Thema soziologische Organisationsberatung: Es wird uber das Interesse der Soziologen an der Organisationsberatung berichtet, es werden definitorische Fragen geklart und die Nachfrage nach soziologischer Organisationsb
