This book reviews the rapidly emerging field of switchable interfaces and its implications for bioelectronics. The authors piece together early breakthroughs and key developments and highlight the future of switchable bioelectronics by focusing on bioelectrochemical processes based on mimicking and controlling biological environments with external stimuli as well as responsive systems for drug delivery. All chapters in the book strive to answer the fundamental question: How do living systems probe and respond to their surroundings? Following on from that, how can one transform these concepts to serve the practical world of bioelectronics? The central obstacle to this vision is the absence of versatile interfaces that are able to control and regulate the means of communication between biological and electronic systems. This book summarizes the overall progress made to date in building such interfaces at the level of individual biomolecules and focuses on the latest efforts to generate device platforms that integrate biointerfaces with electronics.

Chapter 1 introduces the general concept of dynamic interfaces for bioelectronics and gives an overview of the importance of materials and systems for switchable bioelectronics, introducing the reader to different biointerfaces. Chapter 2 pieces together different types of stimuli-responsive polymers and applications. Chapter 3 lays special emphasis on stimuli-responsive polymers with tunable release kinetics and describes the importance of polymer design for delivery applications. Chapter 4 reviews the field of conformational switching in nanofibers for gas-sensing applications. Finally, Chapter 5 focuses on molecular imprinting polymers as recognition elements for sensing applications.

As informative as it is lucid, this handbook makes an essential resource for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students in chemistry, as well as researchers in polymer science and electrochemistry, especially those with an interest in responsive polymers and biosensors.

Inspired by Toni Morrison’s quote on writing the unwritten book, this book addresses the significant knowledge gap surrounding OSF, a primarily overlooked condition in Western medical literature. Despite being well-documented in Southeast Asia, OSF has been underrepresented in global conversations, prompting a collective effort from healthcare professionals to create a comprehensive resource. This book illuminates the complexities of OSF for clinicians, researchers, and students alike.

Structured to cater to a diverse audience, the book delves into the etiology of OSF, the effects of areca nut and smokeless tobacco, and the importance of histopathological studies while advocating for better understanding and treatment of OSF. The narrative weaves historical context with contemporary practices and calls for action to address the public health implications of OSF. Through collaboration with colleagues and health organizations, the authors provide a holistic guide to inspire further exploration and awareness to tackle the challenges posed by OSF.

This book explores the innovative concept of nutritional intelligence, providing a structured approach to overcoming bulimia, binge eating, and obesity. It integrates psychological insights with nutritional science to help individuals regain control over their eating habits and overall well-being. Through years of clinical experience and research, Evangelos Zoumbaneas offers a comprehensive guide to understanding eating disorders, their triggers, and effective strategies for treatment. The book introduces a novel approach to addressing eating disorders by combining nutrition science with behavioral psychology and presents evidence-based strategies for sustainable recovery, making it a valuable resource for both professionals and individuals struggling with disordered eating and also suitable for general readers who are aiming for good nutrition balance.

Animals, Ethics, and Engineering: Intersections and Implications is a seminal work that explores the intricate relationship between technology, ethics, and the welfare of nonhuman animals. Edited by Rosalyn W. Berne, this volume brings together leading scholars and practitioners to examine the ethical responsibilities inherent in technological progress and its impact on animal well-being.

Analyzing the harmony and form of musical compositions remains a valuable tool for students of music, performers, composers, and musicologists. Yet many traditional approaches tend to focus on how complex features can be reduced into simpler categories and questions of unity and coherence. This book advocates an alternative tonal narrative approach, which uses a framework of polarities in dynamic interaction and interdependence to elucidate the life forces animating tonal compositions. Drawing on the writings of Arnold Schoenberg, Donald Francis Tovey, Charles Rosen, and others, the approach identifies three sets of polarities—centrifugal/centripetal, sharp/flat, and spatial/temporal—that interact in works by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert. The approach suggests the methods by which the reader may delve into these polarities and thereby deeper into the meaning of masterworks. It proposes several tonal narrative functions, including intensifications to culminations and counterbalancing leading to completeness of harmonic space, which aim at helping the interpreter perceive the overall shape and narrative dynamics of a work.

Flexible inkjet-printed antennas are lightweight, low-cost radio-frequency components fabricated by depositing conductive inks onto flexible substrates such as polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, paper, or textiles. This additive manufacturing method enables rapid prototyping without masks or etching, significantly reducing material waste and production time. Conductive inks—often based on silver nanoparticles, copper, or conductive polymers—are patterned with high precision to form antenna geometries for applications across Wi-Fi, RFID, NFC, Bluetooth, and emerging IoT systems for wearable electronics, smart packaging, biomedical devices, and soft robotics. This textbook presents the basic knowledge of printed inkjet antenna on flexible substrates, including fabrication techniques, substrates used, most important characterizations, and different applications such as wireless sensor networks, wearable electronics, and smart textiles. It provides professionals and graduate students an optimum literature survey of the basic knowledge beyond the flexible printed antennas and circuits in general.
