Abstract

Nowadays, the competitiveness of the textile industry and the consumers' interest have been increasing the demand for innovative and functional textiles. Allied to this, sustainable developments are playing an increasingly important role in the textile industry. Such concerns led to a new development strategy based on the valorization of bio-based wastes and by-products of different industries, inserting this in the circular economy paradigm. These bio-based wastes and by-products come from several industries, as the agri-food industry. These resources present an enormous potential for valorization in the textile finish due to their intrinsic properties (antimicrobial, prebiotic, antioxidant activity, among others). This chapter will review the latest innovation and textile product development through different by-products and wastes, their main properties and characteristics and the advantages that they offer to the textile industry.

Abstract

In this book, tumour growth is perceived as a deviation from the normal development of the human organism. The molecular, cellular, and tissue determinants of different tumours are discussed showing that each is a different disease, often corresponding to a particular developmental stage. The natural history of several cancers illustrates how clinical incidence can be just the visible part of the iceberg, while the first changes at the tissue level sometimes occur several years before tumour growth becomes manifest. Several mechanisms are proposed to explain the distribution of cancers during the human life span and the decline of the incidence of cancers during human senescence.

Abstract

Cell biologists have recently become aware that the asymmetry of cell division is an important regulatory phenomenon in the fate of a cell. During development, cell diversity originates through asymmetry; in the adult organism asymmetric divisions regulate the stem cell reservoir and are a source of the drift that contributes to the aging of organisms with renewable cell compartments. Because of the concept of semi-conservative DNA synthesis, it was thought that the distribution of DNA between daughter cells was symmetric. The analysis of the phenomenon in cells during mitosis, however, revealed the asymmetry in the distribution of the genetic material that creates the drift contributing to aging of mammals. On the other hand, cancer cells can originate from a deregulation of asymmetry during mitosis in particular during stem cell expansion. The book describes the phenomenon in different organisms from plants to animals and addresses its implications for the development of the organism, cell differentiation, human aging and the biology of cancers.

Abstract

Al meer dan 45 jaar geldt het Zakwoordenboek der Geneeskunde als een betrouwbaar, handzaam en volledig naslagwerk. Het is dan ook een onmisbare vraagbaak voor iedereen die door studie of beroepshalve met de medische terminologie te maken heeft.Het boek bevat verklaringen van maar liefst 26.000 termen en begrippen uit de medische en aanverwante vakgebieden. Naast het actualiseren van de bestaande tekst is bij deze nieuwe, 24ste druk extra aandacht besteed aan:- de duidelijkheid en leesbaarheid van de trefwoordomschrijvingen;- het opnemen van veel nieuwe termen en afkortingen o.a. uit de vakgebieden immunologie, psychiatrie en seksuologie;- de uitbreiding van het aantal anatomische namen.

Abstract

Vagueira is a Portuguese village hosting different economic and tourist-oriented activities, hence concerning a diversity of assets of interest. However, it has been affected by a persistent trend of erosion and experienced overtopping and flooding events in the past. The objective of this study was to determine the efficiency of deploying a detached breakwater in front of Vagueira beach in order to help protect the coastal community and safeguard its natural services and general assets.
