Sommario/riassunto

This book presents the different 3D/4D printing technological applications of Additive Manufacturing (AM) in Pharmaceutical Sciences. The initial chapter provides the historical perspective and current scenario of AM in pharmaceuticals. The book further discusses about different 3D printing platform technologies such as FDM, SLA, SLS, SSE, Ink-jet & binder jet principles & applications in developing advanced drug delivery systems. It also covers the methodology, materials for AM and important parameters associated with these platform technologies.



The book highlights the progress and practical applications of 4D-printing technology in healthcare & pharmaceuticals fraternity as well including the essence of bioprinting in pharmaceuticals. Finally, the book reviews the regulatory guidelines, perspectives, and integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine learning (ML) in pharmaceutical AM. This book is indeed a valuable resource for students, researchers/scholars, young start-ups/entrepreneurs, and pharmaceutical professionals by providing thorough detailing about AM in Pharmaceuticals.

Sommario/riassunto

All You Need to Know About Spiders Spiders are super predators and devour everything they can overpower. To do this, they have developed incredibly good catching techniques and, with spider silk, a tool that makes material technology green with envy. The males are usually smaller than the females and, in order to have sex, they have to come up with a lot to avoid being misunderstood as easy prey: Dancing, drumming, and gifts almost always help. Spiders use their venom in very precise doses, and since humans are not on their menu, they are harmless to us. Many people's (unnecessary) fear of spiders finds cultural roots as early as the Middle Ages. Nevertheless, spider fear is easily treatable. There is no habitat or building without spiders. And that's a good thing, because spiders have fascinating properties and their world is full of surprises. Everything you need to know about them is explained in this book in understandable language by experts forlaymen. In addition, some of the most common spider species in the house and garden are briefly presented with tips for observation. The authors This book is authored by eight scientists, all of them members of the Association for the Promotion of Spider Research: Wolfgang Nentwig, Jutta Ansorg, Angelo Bolzern, Holger Frick, Anne-Sarah Ganske, Ambros Hänggi, Christian Kropf and Anna Stäubli.
