A review of the evolution of energy intensity in European and Former Soviet Union countries indicates a positive trend: high-energy-intensity countries have now reached the level of medium-energy-intensity economies 15 years earlier, and in the same period, medium-energy-intensity ones had similarly evolved to levels of low-energy-intensity. At the same time, the fast transitioning economies of Central Europe converged towards similar levels of energy intenWorld Bank e-Library.Energy consumptionEuropeEnergy consumptionFormer Soviet republicsEnergy policyEuropeEnergy policyFormer Soviet republicsEnergy consumptionEnergy consumptionEnergy policyEnergy policy333.79/17Stuggins Gary1528829Sharabaroff Alexander1528830Semikolenova Yadviga1528831World Bank.DLCDLCBOOK9910779428903321Energy efficiency3772694UNINA05339nam 22007335 450 991074323350332120251113195338.0981-16-3666-4981-16-3667-2981-16-3667-210.1007/978-981-16-3667-7(MiAaPQ)EBC6891263(Au-PeEL)EBL6891263(CKB)21250897400041(PPN)260830348(OCoLC)1303082871(DE-He213)978-981-16-3667-7(EXLCZ)992125089740004120220216d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNanoscale Engineering of Biomaterials: Properties and Applications /edited by Lalit M.

It discusses the fundamentals of bio-interfacial interactions and the surface engineering of emerging biomaterials like metals and alloys, polymers, ceramics, and composites/nanocomposites. In turn, the book addresses the latest techniques and approaches to engineering material surfaces/interfaces in, e.g., implants, tissue engineering, drug delivery, antifouling, and dentistry. Lastly, it summarizes various challenges in the design and development of novel biomaterials. Given its scope, it offers a valuable source of information for students, academics, physicians and particularly researchers from diverse disciplines such as material science and engineering, polymer engineering, biotechnology, bioengineering, chemistry, chemical engineering, nanotechnology, and biomedical engineering for various commercial and scientific applications.Biomedical and Life Sciences SeriesMedicineResearchBiologyResearchProteinsBiomaterialsNanomedicineBiomedical engineeringBiomedical ResearchBiomaterials-ProteinsNanomedicine and NanotoxicologyBiomedical Engineering and BioengineeringMedicineResearch.BiologyResearch.Proteins.Biomaterials.Nanomedicine.Biomedical engineering.Biomedical Research.Biomaterials-Proteins.Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology.Biomedical Engineering and Bioengineering.170Pandey Lalit M.Hasan AbsharMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910743233503321Nanoscale engineering of biomaterials3560680UNINA
