This open access book covers emerging opportunities and future use
of nanotechnology in construction, including deep advances in
cement chemistry, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence,
robotics, concrete technology, and extreme engineering (blast,
impact and fire). The proceedings also presents sectorial
interactions within the traditional construction industry supply
chain, enabled by the dynamic partnership between international
industry, government agencies, and universities. Nanotechnology has
transformed the construction materials industry into an advanced
manufacturing sector to address climate change and carbon
neutrality challenges by delivering sustainable and resilient
infrastructure assets. Hence, this book reports specific advances
in nanoscience and nano-engineering, and their impacts on numerous
novel construction materials including binders, additives,
high-performance concrete materials, concrete structural systems,
polymer composites, and pavement materials.
This book explains the anatomy and physiology of cartilage tissue
in an integrated way. The emphasis is on how cartilage tissue
functions and maintains homeostasis in a challenging mechanical
environment. Supported by hundreds of references, the book posts
new hypotheses explaining how cartilage adapts and achieves
homeostasis in vivo, and tests them against available data. This
exploratory approach creates a sense of discovery that the reader
can join, or perhaps test themselves through their own research.
The main benefit will be obtained by research students and
professors looking to understand the deeper concepts that will
further their own research, or clinicians (including health
professionals and surgeons) who want to gain a deeper physiological
understanding of cartilage tissue, which can then serve as a basis
for more rational clinical decision-making they need to make on a
daily basis. To help bridge the gap between basic science and
clinically relevant joint disease, applications and interpretations
of key physiological concepts are discussed in the context of
osteoarthritis at the end of most chapters.
