EBook review: ‘Micro and Nanomachining Technology Size, Model and Complex Mechanism’

The name of Bentham Science Publishers is highly reputable within the publication industry. Bentham Science Publishers publishes quality research and scholarly articles with a stringent peer- reviewing process. There are around 116 online and print journals, 150 plus open access journals and a wide range of eBooks. One of its ebooks is Micro and Nanomachining Technology Size, Model and Complex Mechanism’
"Recent advances in science and technology such as online monitoring techniques, coupling of various processing methods, surface characterization and measurement techniques have greatly promoted the development of ultraprecise machining technology. This precision now falls into the micrometer and nanometer range - hence the name micro &nanomachining technology (MNT).
Micro and Nanomachining Technology - Size, Model and Complex Mechanism introduces readers to the basics of micro &nanomachining (MNT) technology and covers some of the above techniques including molecular dynamics and finite element simulations, as well as complexity property and multiscale MNT methods.
This book meets the growing need of Masters students or Ph.D. students studying nanotechnology, mechanical engineering or materials engineering, allowing them to understand the design and process issues associated with precision machine tools and the fabrication of precision components."

Ebook reviews: Immunology of Pregnancy 2013 by Nathalie Lédée

Bentham Science Publishers publishes quality research and scholarly articles with a stringent peer- reviewing process. There are around 116 online and print journals, 150 plus open access journals and a wide range of eBooks. One of its eBooks is Immunology of Pregnancy 2013 by Nathalie Lédée
Here’s a short review:
Since a September, 1992, Nature article which read: “Can there be life without LIF?”, researchers now realize that the maternal immune system is both a foe (it can reject the conception) and a friend (immune cells and molecules are also necessary for successful pregnancy). Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) when absent, prevents embryo implantation in rodents. From fecundation to parturition, immunity acts as a Janus, required but potentially dangerous. However, the complexity and the diversity of immunity in pregnancy deters many from entering the field. This book will try to give a complete overview of immunity from gametes till parturition, in brief, but with complete chapters and subsections, each written by specialists in the field. 

The importance of the topic relies not only on “the riddle of the fetal allograft”, which is per se fascinating, but on its consequences, linked to the development of IVF and in general, Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) / Medicine. Since the discovery that there would not be (mammalian) life without LIF, it has become clear that Immune Molecules, and in general, transient post mating inflammatory reactions are required for successful implantation. Disruptions of this process can lead to implantation failure / sterility.

This E-book provides a complete compendium of gynecological immunology, spanning from fecundation to delivery. Topics also include the role of various cell types (such as T regs ad NK cells) in implantation and uterine changes as well as the genetic regulation of immunological processes. As such it will be of interest not only to fundamental and reproductive immunologists, but more importantly, clinicians in obstetrics and gynecology.
