Andrzej Zieliński – författare

This book focuses on a promising achievement of biomaterials engineering: surface modifications of titanium and its alloys, including change in surface topography, formation of subsurface layers, and deposition of coating.

This book:

• Describes titanium and its alloys and applied surface treatment approaches.

• Demonstrates electropolishing and anodization of titanium biomaterials, the formation of composite layers by micro-arc oxidation in electrolytes of different compositions, and laser-made surface modification.

• Details coatings based on nanohydroxyapatite, chitosan, bioactive glasses, polyetherketone, oils, and other natural polymers, with a separate chapter focused on the thermal stability of hydroxyapatite coatings.

• Discusses adhesion and cohesion strengths, important because of the high mechanical stresses imposed on titanium implants.

• Considers the biological behavior of modified surfaces regarding bioactivity, cytotoxicity, and antibacterial efficiency, as well as the phenomenon of biofilm formation and possible countermeasures.

Authored by world-renowned researchers, this book provides readers working in biomaterials, biomedical, and chemical engineering, as well as medicine, with the most important developments and practical applications in titanium surface modifications.

El objetivo del estudio es doble: por una parte, analizar el origen de las fórmulas honorificas con el sufijo superlativo –ísimo y, por otra, con ayuda de un corpus amplio, compuesto mayoritariamente por textos latinos (siglos V-IX) y españoles (siglos XV-XIX), estudiar cómo llegaron a lexicalizarse. Los resultados de la investigación ofrecen novedosas aportaciones sobre aspectos pragmáticos, semánticos y léxicos de la deixis social.

El libro profundiza en la modalidad dinámica, tema poco tratado en la bibliografía tanto de corte sincrónico como diacrónico. Esta modalidad se relaciona con las nociones de capacidad y habilidad —propias de la posibilidad dinámica— y de deseo e intención —dentro de la necesidad dinámica—. El análisis diacrónico demuestra que hay que otorgar a la dinámica un lugar privilegiado en la compleja categoría semántica de la modalidad, ya que desde ella se evoluciona no solo a la deóntica y a la epistémica, sino también a los ámbitos del aspecto y del tiempo. La investigación llevada a cabo ofrece novedosas aportaciones sobre particularidades morfosintácticas, semánticas y pragmáticas de la modalidad en español.
