Sommario/riassunto

Preface Welcome one and all. That isn't just a pleasantry, but my way of letting you know that whether you are an attorney, judge, paralegal, business manager or owner, or just one of the great un-labeled hordes, you will all benefit from what follows. We all live in a new world in which we are surrounded in an ever-deepening fog of data. The data define who we are, for better or worse. The data contain information about our livelihoods, our education, our finances (or lack thereof), our health (or lack thereof), our history, and probably our future. And yet very few of us understand how the data are created, where data are



stored, or how to retrieve or destroy data (if that is indeed at all possible!). This book is for all of you, whatever your need or interest. In it we will discuss the reasons you need to know about electronic data as well as get into great detail about the how, what, when, and where of what is known in legal circles as ESI, or electronically stored information. You can use this as a reference and simply go to the chapters you are interested in, or read through if you like. I try to keep it entertaining and simple to understand, even when we get into some pretty esoteric engineering concepts. I'm pretty sure no one is planning to earn his or her computer science or electrical engineering degree with this book, so concepts will be as simple as possible and related to stories K13576.indb 13 3/7/12 9:49 AM xiv Preface and illustrations that will help make sense of these sometimes difficult ideas. So read on without trepidation, dear reader. I promise it will be enlightening, and perhaps even fun. If nothing else you will have some interesting new ways to entertain your geek friends or impress your non-geek friends at your next party--

Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights key findings generated during the past years from the main disciplines that constitute Physical Virology, from theoretical physics and simulations to material sciences and vaccines development to structural biology. Each chapter is written by world-class scientists from these areas and is a comprehensive review of where this field stands, as well as the future of Physical Virology. The diversity in the formal training of these scientists results in solving common problems using very distinct approaches, which can produce surprising findings. The multi- and interdisciplinary nature of this field has created a remarkable community that aims at understanding how viruses work and how they can be used in material sciences, chemistry, and biomedicine. Furthermore, the development of Physical Virology has resulted in technological advances that have shaped other fields; for example, it would be impossible to think about the development of Cryo-EM to solve the structureof complex viruses with atomic resolution without the contribution of scientists that created the field of Physical Virology. In the past decade, there has been a great success in the generation of viral systems that can encapsulate drugs, non-viral genetic material, or nanoparticles, as well as in the chemical and genetical modification of virions. Without any doubt in the immediate future, some of these technologies will jump from the bench to the market, creating a revolution in translational and biomedical sciences. The book provides key perspectives for the field, derived from expert´s opinions.
