Besides constituting a fundamental milestone in contemporary
Western thought, Sigmund Freud's monumental corpus of work laid the
theoretical-technical foundations on which psychoanalysts based the
construction and development of the comprehensive edifice in which
they abide today. This edifice, so varied in tones, so
heterogeneous, even contradictory at times, has stood strong
because of these foundations. Indeed, this book attempts to show,
through its various chapters written by psychoanalysts from
different parts of the world and sustaining varied paradigms, this
enriching heterogeneity coupled with the invisible thread which
strings together the diversity lent to it by its Freudian
foundations. One of the characteristics of the Freudian opus
highlighted in this context is the fact that when we are able to
study it in perspective, it is possible to glimpse a path of
incessant improvement, where ideas and concepts are constantly
reformulated and become more complex as clinical facts and
methodological and epistemological resources call for it.
Inhibitions, Symptoms and Anxiety is the irrefutable proof of this
affirmation.
Applications of Supramolecular Chemistry introduces the use of
non-covalent interactions and molecular recognition for many
fields. Applications include the analysis of technically,
medically, and environmentally important chemical compounds, their
separation, purification and removal, and the design of new
materials, including supramolecular electronics. The book also
explores biological interactions and applications in the food and
textile industries.

Non-covalent interactions, which are the heart of supramolecular
chemistry are also the basis of most important functions of living
systems. The ability to apply supramolecular chemistry principles
to the life sciences, such as designing synthetic host compounds to
selectively interact within biological targets, has gained wide
appeal due the vast number of potential applications.
Supramolecular Systems for Biomedical Fields provides in sixteen
chapters a comprehensive overview of these applications. Each
chapter covers a specific topic and is written by internationally
renowned experts in that area. Sensing of bioactive inorganic ions
and organic substrates is the focus of several contributions, as
well as interactions with proteins and nucleic acids. Specific
chapters are devoted to cyclodextrins, calixarenes and
cucurbiturils as most frequently used receptors, including
applications such as drug delivery and protection, gene transfer
and others. Other chapters address the use of combinatorial
libraries, molecular imprinting techniques, enzyme assays,
supramolecular gels, bioimaging, drug activation, photodynamic
therapy, and antitumour metal complexes. This timely publication
will appeal to graduate students and researchers from chemical,
pharmaceutical, biological, and medicinal fields interested in the
supramolecular chemistry of biological systems and their practical
potentials.
Smart materials stimulated by chemical or biological signals are of
interest for their many applications including drug delivery, as
well as in new sensors and actuators for environmental monitoring,
process and food control, and medicine. In contrast to other books
on responsive materials, this volume concentrates on materials
which are stimulated by chemical or biological signals.
Chemoresponsive Materials introduces the area with chapters
covering different responsive material systems including hydrogels,
organogels, membranes, thin layers, polymer brushes,
chemomechanical and imprinted polymers, nanomaterials, silica
particles, as well as carbohydrate- and bio-based systems. Many
promising applications are highlighted, with an emphasis on drug
delivery, sensors and actuators. With contributions from
internationally known experts, the book will appeal to graduate
students and researchers in academia, healthcare and industry
interested in functional materials and their applications.
Cell surface engineering is an emerging field concerning cell
surface modifications to enhance its functionalities. The book
introduces the reader to the area of surface-functionalized cells
and summarizes recent developments in the area including
fabrication, characterization, applications and nanotoxicity.
Topics covered include recent approaches for the functionalization
of cells with nanomaterials (polymer nanofilms and nanoparticles),
fabrication of functional biomimetic devices and assemblies based
on nanoparticle-modified microbial cells and artificial spores (the
bioinspired encapsulation of living cells with tough nanoshells)
The book provides an interdisciplinary approach to the topic with
authors from both biological and chemical backgrounds. This
multidisciplinary view makes the book suitable for those interested
in biomaterials, biochemistry, microbiology and colloid chemistry,
providing both an introduction for postgraduate students as well as
a comprehensive summary for those already working in the area
biomaterials, biochemistry, microbiology and colloid chemistry.
