Описание: This book is about the dangers of religious intolerance, conflict and violence oriented strategies in our contemporary society. It exposes the evangelical strategies of Christian Churches and Denominations in the Nigerian society. The process of the enthronement of ‘prosperity theology’ has led to manipulation of individuals and events through demonization, deliverance, organized healings and miracles. This type of Christianity destroys religious values and exposes the society to the danger of materialism. Christian Churches should be advocates of empowerment, freedom and dignity instead of victimization of its members. This study argues that authentic Christian witnessing can only be achieved through holistic and proper integration of its teachings into socio-cultural values of its local setting. It insists that religion should enhance good core values and not destroy it. It critically analyses the elemental causes of conflict and violence in Igboland and concludes by making recommendations towards a peaceful society.

Описание: Mandi's Miracle culminates the Part II of The Miracle Trilogy(R). It is set during the 1960s in Mississippi during the civil rights era and tells of one girl's struggle through personal adversity and hardship in order to persevere to carry out the "secret" told to her by her mentor and friend, Francine. Mandi Watkins is a bright, young girl who comes from a tightly knit black American family full of love and pride, whose faith is instantly tested when Mandi is suddenly struck with cancer at a tender age. Despite all the family's efforts to save Mandi's life, her health worsens to the point where she's eventually told that she has only five months to live. Overcome with grief, fear and bitter panic, Mandi's mother, Thelma, who is also an enthralling character in the series, goes to her employer, Francine, in desperation to help save her child. Francine, upon learning this, takes on the proposition, offering basic and universal laws to conquer the challenge in the same way she was mentored years before. Slowly, as Mandi uses the healing principles, Mandi and her mother ¬Thelma commend Francine enormously for her e orts, but in response, all Francine says is: "If you really want to thank me, share this information with someone else. Just pay it forward." Attentive to her request, Mandi promises to do so, and grows up from her teenage years into adulthood, in a search to fulfill her mentor's request, which happens in a most unlikely way. Experience a powerful story that has received critical acclaim regarding the God-given power of thought, intention, love, happiness and truth. This is a book that will not only change your life, but inspire the lives of those you love and care about. It's truly a must-read

Описание: Nanotechnology and high-end characterization techniques have highlighted the importance of the material choice for the success of tissue engineering. Tissue engineering includes seeding of cells on bio-mimicked scaffolds providing adhesive surfaces. Researchers though face a range of problems in generating tissue which can be circumvented by employing nanotechnology. It delivers substrates for cell adhesion and proliferation and agents for cell growth and can be used to create nanostructures and nanoparticles to aid the engineering of different types of tissue. Due to the tissue and organ shortage, tissue engineering strategies combining engineering principles and methods and biological sciences in creating implantable tissues have been viewed as the most promising technologies for regenerating damaged tissues and organs. As native tissues or organs are composed of proteins within nanoscale and cells directly interact with nanostructured extracellular matrices, nanobiomaterials such as nanofibres, nanotubes, nanoparticles and other nanofabricated devices with smaller than 100 nm in at least one dimension are capable of contributing to cell growth and tissue regeneration. Biomaterials and Nanotechnology for Tissue Engineering delivers information on methodologies for designing and using biomaterials to regenerate tissue, on novel nano-textured surface features of materials as well as on theranostics, immunology and nano-toxicology aspects. In the book also enlightened are fabrication techniques for production of frameworks to a series of tissue-specific applications of frameworks in tissue engineering for specific biomaterials and several types of tissue. Some nanoscale delivery systems that serve as important milestones throughout the history of drug delivery are highlighted. Furthermore, developments in nano drug delivery, gene therapy and cancer nanotechonology are described. The book helps readers to gain a working knowledge about the nanotechnology aspects of tissue engineering and will be of great use to those involved in building specific tissue substitutes in reaching their objective in a more efficient way. It demonstrates the latest achievement of nanotechnology and its development in tissue engineering field. It is aimed for researchers and practitioners, lab engineers, lecturers and students engaged in the fields of tissue engineering or more generally regenerative medicine, nanomedicine, medical devices, nanofabrication, biofabrication, biomaterials and biomedical engineering.
Автор: Emeka Arendse Название: Wave Propagation in Materials & Structures ISBN: 1681177129 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781681177120 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 230210.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Wave propagation is any of the ways in which waves travel. With respect to the direction of the oscillation relative to the propagation direction, we can distinguish between longitudinal wave and transverse waves. For electromagnetic waves, propagation may occur in a vacuum as well as in a material medium. Other wave types cannot propagate through a vacuum and need a transmission medium to exist. In the recent decades, there has been a growing interest in micro- and nanotechnology. The advances in nanotechnology give rise to new applications and new types of materials with unique electromagnetic and mechanical properties. Wave Propagation in Materials and Structures is devoted to the modern methods developed to describe wave propagation in modern materials and structures. The book contains original works of prominent scientists in the field of wave propagation who produced new theoretical and experimental methods in the research field and obtained new and important results. Elastic wave propagation has been used for years for assessment of the structural integrity of engineering materials. The advantage it deals is the direct association to elastic properties, the quite easy application through commercial equipment along with numerous empirical correlations between pulse velocity and material strength or quality in general. Advanced features like frequency dependence of wave parameters may further improve the characterisation capacity. Concrete materials because of their intrinsic microstructure, which is enhanced by the existence of damage-induced cracking, demonstrate a complicated behavior relating to the propagation of pulses of different frequencies. The different wave lengths interact with inhomogeneities according to their size and therefore, leave their signature on the phase velocity and attenuation versus frequency curves. Although experimental measurements are troublesome in concrete structures, mainly due to attenuation of high frequencies, it is suggested that, whenever possible, application of different frequencies can provide a more detailed insight on the internal condition of the structure. This book intends to basic and advanced concepts of wave propagation in diverse material systems and structures. Such a text is necessary considering the multi-disciplinary nature of the subject. Therefore, actively working readers (scientists, engineers, students, as well as researchers and practitioners) will find many interesting results and new ideas in this book.
