Sommario/riassunto

Francisco Suárez is arguably the most important Neo-Scholastic philosopher and a vital link in the chain leading from medieval philosophy to that of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Long



neglected by the Anglo-Saxon philosophical community, this sixteenth-century Jesuit theologian is now an object of intense scholarly attention. In this volume, Daniel Schwartz brings together essays by leading specialists which provide detailed treatment of some key themes of Francisco Suárez's philosophical work: God, metaphysics, meta-ethics, the human soul, action, ethics and law, justice and war. The authors assess the force of Suárez's arguments, set them within their wider argumentative context and single out influences and appraise competing interpretations. The book is a useful resource for scholars and students of philosophy, theology, philosophy of religion and history of political thought and provides a rich bibliography of secondary literature.

Sommario/riassunto

The book provides an overview of different nanoparticles, their classification, and their applications in healthcare, food sciences, environmental sciences, and agricultural sciences. The introductory chapters discuss different types of nanoparticles, their types, and their structural properties. The subsequent chapter examines factors that influence the biocompatibility and toxicity of NPs for the safe and sustainable development of emerging nanoparticles. The chapter systematically reviews the nanoparticle-based contrast agents employed in most common biomedical imaging modalities. The book further examines the applications of advanced nanoparticle design that are utilized for both non-personalized and precision applications for improving precision therapies. The book provides a comprehensive update on nanoparticles’ toxic effects, the factors underlying their toxicity, and the mechanisms by which toxicity is induced. This book is an ideal guide for researchers and students interested in understanding the applications of nanoparticles in biomedical sciences and the healthcare sector.
