Showing results for "COVID and..." in Science & Engineering

Microfluidics is the field of science that studies fluids constrained to spaces that are smaller than one millimeter wide, and by extension, the engineering field which builds devices that exploit the unique properties of fluids at these scales. Author Albert Folch explores this micro science which has inspired engineers to build devices such as engines, spray cans, ballpoint pens, inkjet and 3D printers, pregnancy and Covid tests, glucometers, asthma nebulizers, kidney dialysis machines, and DNA analyzers.

""Chan and Ridley write with an urgency...that inspires gripping depictions of what viruses are, how infectious-disease laboratories work and wonderfully lucid descriptions of bats. . . . They powerfully recount how dangerous pathogens can both leak from a lab and emerge in nature."" (New York...

For two years the COVID-19 pandemic has upended the world. The physician and medical historian Jacalyn Duffin presents a global history of the virus, with a focus on Canada. Duffin describes the frightening appearance of the virus and its identification by scientists in China; subsequent outbreaks on cruise ships; the relentless spread to Europe, the Americas, Africa, and elsewhere; and the immediate attempts to confront it. COVID-19 next explores the scientific history of infections generally, and the discovery of coronaviruses in particular.

Seitdem Menschen sesshafte Landwirtschaft betreiben, kommt es immer wieder zu tödlichen Epidemien. Aber warum nehmen diese Infektionen heute die Form weltweiter Pandemien an, so wie es bei COVID-19, SARS, MERS oder der Vogelgrippe der Fall war? Warum häufen sie sich - und was lässt sich dagegen unternehmen? Der US-amerikanische Biologe Rob Wallace erklärt, wie Pandemien entstehen und warum sie sich global ausbreiten. In seiner Analyse berücksichtigt er die evolutionäre Dynamik der Krankheitserreger ebenso wie die gegenwärtigen ökologischen und ökonomischen Strukturen.
