Antiviral Agents, Vaccines, and Immunotherapies (Infectious Disease and Therapy, 37)

Unlike any other source on the subject, Antiviral Agents, Vaccines, and Immunotherapies analyzes the benefits and limitations of every available drug, vaccine, and immunotherapy utilized in the prevention and control of viral diseases. This reference provides in-depth reviews of more than 50 drugs and antiviral agents for HIV, human herpesviruses, human papillomaviruses (HPV), influenza, respiratory syncytial virus, hepatitis B, and analyzes their mechanisms of action, dosage, side effects, and drug resistance. The book also provides an overview of the use of immunoglobulins and monoclonal antibodies for antiviral use and supplies extensive references, tables, and figures throughout the text. High-temperature superconductors are one of the most active and exciting areas of condensed matter physics research. From high-quality thin-films to friction-less transportation, their applications in industries such as telecommunications, environment and geology, medicine, nuclear physics, and security are just the beginning. The Rise of the Superconductors is an ideological chronology of the science that has produced superconductors. Beginning with the first liquefaction of helium, the book presents the discovery of the Meissner effect and the development of type II superconductors before discussing the impact of Bednorz and MA1⁄4ller's Nobel prize-winning research in high temperature ceramic superconductors. Authors seamlessly introduce the rise of Tc materials, whose layer-like nature, anisotropic behavior, and other properties are discussed in Chapter 4. The next chapter is devoted to the discovery, development, and characteristics of organic superconductors, particularly in fullerene materials, whose discovery earned the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1996. The authors then examine the properties and theoretical developments explaining the behavior of simple superconductors, highlighting their impact on theoretical physics. Subsequent chapters analyze the technological advances, production challenges, and future directions of large- and small-scale applications, Josephson effects, the development of SQUID technology, and the specific behavior of high temperature superconductors. The Rise of the Superconductors concludes with a brief look at the struggle for technical superiority between the U.S. and Japan, European contributions, and commentary on the current state of the art. This Reference Analyzes The Benefits And Limitations Of Every Available Drug, Vaccine, And Immunotherpy Utilized In The Prevention And Control Of Viral Diseases. Providing In-depth Reviews Of More Than Fifty Drugs And Antiviral Agents For Hiv, Human Herpesviruses, Human Papillomaviruses (hpv), Influenza, Respiratory Syncytial Virus, Hepatitis B, And Hepatitis C ... Analyzing Their Mechanisms Of Action, Dosage, Side Effects, And Drug Resistance. Ch. 1. Introduction -- Ch. 2. Antiretroviral Drugs To Treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infections -- Ch. 3. General (non-antiretroviral) Antiviral Drugs -- Ch. 4. Vaccines And Immunotherapies. Stephen K. Tyring. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. An ideological chronology of the science that has produced superconductors. It recounts the rise of Tc materials and organic superconductors, particularly in fullerene materials. It covers properties and behavior of superconductors and their impact on theoretical physics, Josephson effects, and large- and small-scale applications. Providing an analysis of the benefits and limitations of every available drug, vaccine and immunotherapy used to control and prevent antiviral diseases, this unique and genuinely comprehensive text is unlike any other current reference of its kind. This book relates the story of the discovery and development of the science that has produced one of the most active and exciting areas of condensed matter physics research and applications - Superconductoers
