Momentum Press
, 2019
; English
; 135 Pages
With the advancements in technology since their discovery, newer methods of generating liposomes have been developed. Needless to say, over time liposomes have been modified to a large extent and engineered to suit many of our growing needs. This book throws light on the various methods of preparation and characterization of liposomes. It also discusses the several biochemical and indirect methods that have made it possible to understand the biological and physicochemical mechanisms of liposomes that decide their fate in vivo. In spite of certain limitations, liposomes have proved to be more suitable for a number of unconventional applications. This versatility of liposomes outlined in the book brings out the importance of these nanoparticles in the future applications of nanotechnology besides targeted drug delivery. Overall, this book aims to provide the necessary information about the various aspects of liposomes for beginners.

Risk and Reliability in Structural Engineering : Theoretical Basis
Lu, Naiwei; Noori, Mohammad
Momentum Press
, 2019
; English
; 150 Pages
The primary purpose of this book is to introduce risk and reliability concept into structural design.
A structure should be designed taking into account safety, reliability, and economy. Reliability is the probability of successful function, and risk is the potential for unwanted negative consequence of an event. In structural engineering, risk analysis involves the investigation of the probability of rare events. Risk analyses are typically made on the basis of information, which is subject to uncertainty. These uncertainties may be divided into inherent or natural variability. The objective of a structural design is the assurance of successful performance over the useful life of structures or engineering systems.
The primary purpose of this book is to introduce risk and reliability concept into structural design. It will cover and review reliability theory and risk analysis to solve structural engineering problems. The book was formed from the easy to the difficult and complicated concepts. Content was written from the basic concepts of uncertainties, structural safety analysis, structural reliability under repeated load, and fatigue reliability. Based on the introduction of failure modes and bounds theory, structural system reliability theory is subsequently discussed. Numerical formulation and examples are provided to enhance the study efficiency of students, engineers, and researchers.
This book is suitable for adoption as a textbook or a reference book in a structural reliability analysis course. Furthermore, this book also provides a theoretical foundation for better understanding of the structural safety assessment.

Fundamentals of Smart Contract Security
Ma, Richard; Gorzny, Jan; Zulkoski, Edward; Bak, Kacper; Mack, Olga V.
Momentum Press
, 2019
; English
; 166 Pages
Written by security experts at the forefront of this dynamic industry, this book teaches state-of-the-art smart contract security principles and practices.
Smart contracts are an innovative application of blockchain technology. Acting as decentralized custodians of digital assets, they allow us to transfer value and information more effectively by reducing the need to trust a third party. By eliminating the need for intermediaries, smart contracts have the potential to massively scale the world economy and unleash the potential for faster and more efficient solutions than traditional systems could ever provide. But there's one catch: while blockchains are secure, smart contracts are not.
Security vulnerabilities in smart contracts have led to over $250 million USD in value to be lost or stolen. For smart contract technology to achieve its full potential, these security vulnerabilities need to be addressed. Written by security experts at the forefront of this dynamic industry, this book teaches state-of-the-art smart contract security principles and practices. Help us secure the future of blockchain technology and join us at the forefront today!
