Synthetic Biology enables the capability to manipulate and modify leaving cells and organisms to program them for specific purposes and has the potential to change the course of the healthcare sector. Synthetic Biology and its Consequences in Present Healthcare presents the latest findings and applications those in the healthcare sector need. Chapters cover a variety of synthetic biological tools in lifestyle diseases like obesity, heart disease, liver disease, type 2 diabetes and more. In addition, the vaccine development will cover DNA vaccines, synthetic and modified RNA-based vaccines, and personal vaccines for cancer, thus filling a gap in literature in the synthetic biology space. Written by international experts in the fields for those researching, practicing or studying in life sciences, biological sciences, including the synthetic biology domain.Covers synthetic biology applications widely used in the healthcare sectorProvides insights into advancements in novel vaccine and drug delivery systems and its effective uses for the management of various types of diseasesShares recent perspectives and challenges towards the diagnosis and management of diseases like cancer, diabetes, antibiotic resistance bacterial infection, using synthetic biological approaches

Structural vibrations from excitations such as wind, earthquakes, waves and pedestrian movements can be controlled using tuned liquid dampers such as tuned liquid column dampers (TLCDs). They benefit from low installation cost, ease of maintenance and amenability to tuning. TLCDs offer high volumetric efficiency and a specific and quantifiable damping mechanism. This guide outlines passive, active, semi-active and hybrid forms of TLCD. It systematically covers basic operational principles, mathematical modelling, analysis methodologies of damper-structure systems, in frequency and in time domain, design issues and experimental studies, and structural implementations. There is also detailed coverage of innovative design variations that enhance applicability and performance. This book is aimed at researchers in structural control, advanced students, and vibration specialists in industry.

This book covers recent developments and current status of various materials, designs, and manufacturing practices which together contribute towards weight reduction of systems used in defense, aerospace, and automotive sectors. The topics covered in the volume range from new manufacturing methods such as additive manufacturing, intermetallics, aluminum-based solutions, near net-shaped processes, ultra-light weight metal foam and honeycomb based sandwich structures, advanced high strength steels, magnesium alloy castings and carbon fiber composites. It also talks about specific manufacturing and characterization techniques, property variability and reliability of light weight components. This volume will be useful to researchers, professionals, and students working in the fields of aerospace, transportation and defense.
