Encapsulations, a volume in the Nanotechnology in the Agri-Food Industry series,presents key elements in establishing food quality through the improvement of food flavor and aroma. The major benefits of nanoencapsulation for food ingredients include improvement in bioavailability of flavor and aroma ingredients, improvement in solubility of poor water-soluble ingredients, higher ingredient retention during production process, higher activity levels of encapsulated ingredients, improved shelf life, and controlled release of flavor and aroma. This volume discusses main nanoencapsulation processes such as spray drying, melt injection, extrusion, coacervation, and emulsification. The materials used in nanoencapsulation include lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, cellulose, gums, and food grade polymers. Applications and benefits of nanoencapsulation such as controlled release, protections, and taste masking will be explained in detail. Includes the most up-to-date information on nanoencapsulation and nanocontainer-based delivery of antimicrobials Presents nanomaterials for innovation based on scientific advancements in the field Provides control release strategies to enhance bioactivity, including methods and techniques for research and innovation Provides useful tools to improve the delivery of bioactive molecules and living cells into foods

A systematic introduction to the future of electronic packaging Electronic packaging materials are among the most important components of the broader electronics industry, capable of facilitating heat dissipation, redistributing stress on electronic components, and providing environmental protections for electronic systems. Recent advances in integrated circuits, especially the development of flexible electronic technology, have placed increasingly stringent demands on the capabilities of electronic packaging. These technologies have the potential to reshape our world, and they demand a generation of engineers capable of harnessing that potential. Flexible Electronic Packaging and Encapsulation Technology meets this demand with an introduction to the cutting-edge technologies available to package electronic components, as well as the testing methods and applications that bring these technologies to bear on the industry. These packaging technologies promise to bring lightness, flexibility, and environmental friendliness to the next generation of electronic systems. Flexible Electronic Packaging and Encapsulation Technology readers will also find: Survey of commercial electronic packaging materials and patents for reference purposes Guidelines for designing high-performance packaging materials with novel structures An authorial team of leading researchers in the field Flexible Electronic Packaging and Encapsulation Technology is ideal for materials scientists, electronics engineers, solid state physicists, professionals in the semiconductor industry, and any other researchers or professionals working with electronic systems.

A thin film is a layer of material ranging from fractions of a nanometer to several micrometers in thickness. Thin films have been employed in many applications to provide surfaces that possess specific optical, electronic, chemical, mechanical and thermal properties. Through ten chapters consisting of original research studies and literature reviews written by experts from the international scientific community, this book covers the deposition and application of thin films.

Like hiking off the well-traveled trail, attempting to bridge foreign do mains of research and practice entails certain risks. This volume repre sents an effort to explore the relatively uncharted territory of cognitive and social-cognitive processes embedded in child psychotherapy. The territory is largely uncharted, not because of a lack of interest in children and cognition, but because child psychotherapy has been chronically neglected by clinical researchers. For example, recent meta-analyses of the effectiveness of child psychotherapy draw on less than 30 non behavioral studies of child psychotherapy conducted over a 30-year period. The average of one study per year pales in comparison to the volume of research on adult psychotherapy. Moreover, research exam ining cognitive, affective, and language processes in child psycho therapy is virtually nonexistent. Consequently, the contributions to this volume should not be seen as reviews of an extant, clinical-research literature. Instead, they represent attempts to expand the more familiar and well-researched province of developmental psychology into the rel atively uncharted domain of child psychotherapy process. In addition to bridging the literature on child psychotherapy with research perspectives on children's cognitive and social-cognitive devel opment, this volume attempts to cross a second gap. Recent surveys of the utilization of psychotherapy research by practicing psychotherapists indicate the distance between these two domains is substantial. Only a small minority of practitioners find psychotherapy research to be a useful source of information for their practice.
