This book highlights the overview of the COVID-19 pandemic from
both the scientific and the social perspectives. The scientific
part presents key facts of COVID-19, including the structure of the
virus and the techniques for the diagnosis, treatment, and vaccine
development against the disease, covering state-of-the-art findings
and achievements worldwide. The social part is written by WHO
professionals who worked on the frontier of the fight against the
disease. It covers the global security situation during the
pandemic, the WHO and governmental-level risk management measures,
and the estimated impact that COVID-19 will eventually create on
social life after it is globally controlled.

This book presents an overview of the ways in which the latest
experimental and theoretical nanotechnologies are serving the
fields of biotechnology, medicine, and biomaterials. They not only
enhance the efficiency of common therapeutics and lower their
risks, but thanks to their specific properties, they also provide
new capabilities. Nano-scale measurement techniques, such as
nano-indentation and nano-scratch methods, could potentially be
used to characterize the physical and mechanical properties of both
natural tissues and synthetic biomaterials in terms of strength and
durability.
This volume presents the characterization methods involved with
carbon nanotubes and carbon nanotube-based composites, with a more
detailed look at computational mechanics approaches, namely the
finite element method. Special emphasis is placed on studies that
consider the extent to which imperfections in the structure of the
nanomaterials affect their mechanical properties. These defects may
include random distribution of fibers in the composite structure,
as well as atom vacancies, perturbation and doping in the structure
of individual carbon nanotubes.
