This volume explores the latest research in central nervous system
(CNS) targeted nanocarriers, methods for their synthesis, and its
characterization process. Chapters in this book cover topics such
as polymeric nanoparticles and liposomes; self-assembled
peptide-based scaffolds for lesions of the nervous system; use of
peptides as CNS drugs and as potential carriers to optimize
brain-targeted delivery; ways to model and assess blood brain
barrier absorption of drugs; and the role of neurodegeneration
progress of nanomaterials and their potential toxicity concerns. In
the Neuromethods series style, chapters include the kind of detail
and key advice from the specialists needed to get successful
results in your laboratory. Thorough and cutting-edge,
Nanomedicines for Brain Drug Delivery is a valuable resource that
will help researchers guide and advance the field of nanomedicines
for the brain and nervous system.

Reacting to the need to transform and the increasing pressure to
outsource all non-core activities, Air Force Material Command
Surgeon General discontinued its previous use of full service
contracts with original equipment manufacturers and adopted a
relatively new maintenance outsourcing strategy: strategic
partnering with an equipment management firm. The objective of this
study is to create a decision-model for selecting the optimal
management strategy for a healthcare organization's facility
maintenance program. This study used personal interviews with
facility management personnel from MAJCOMs to collect and analyze
data. This study offers a re-conceptualized framework for viewing
and understanding the various maintenance programs and their
interrelationships. Additionally, the study evaluates the strategic
fit between maintenance programs and strategic objectives and
finally examines the strength of the strategic fit and how it
relates to overall customer satisfaction of the maintenance
program. The data from the interviews tested the interviewee's
relative satisfaction with their programs and analyzed each
management program and determined which strategic objectives
resulted in satisfaction. This research found that facilities
should determine their particular level of risk. Facilities that
prefer "term vs. whole" insurance may be more satisfied with a
program that hedges its risk by utilizing multiple OEMs or 3rd
party providers. Facilities that desire stable pricing and cost
structures and consolidated management would do well to investigate
single OEMs or single comprehensive providers.
