Biomedical 2015
Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g. diagnostic or therapeutic). This field seeks to close the gap between engineering and medicine: It combines the design and problem solving skills of engineering with medical and biological sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. Biomedical engineering has only recently emerged as its own study, compared to many other engineering fields. Such an evolution is common as a new field transitions from being an interdisciplinary specialization among already-established fields, to being considered a field in itself. Much of the work in biomedical engineering consists of research and development, spanning a broad array of subfields. Prominent biomedical engineering applications include the development of biocompatible prostheses, various diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices ranging from clinical equipment to micro-implants, common imaging equipment such as MRIs and EEGs, regenerative tissue growth, pharmaceutical drugs and therapeutic biologicals.

Abstract
Human mycosis are infections that are usually difficult to treat, for different reasons, including the generally chronic state of the disease at the moment of diagnosis, the great resistance of the pathogens to many of the available drugs, and/or the long period of therapy that represents high costs in terms of antifungal agents. Likewise the growing number of the pathogen’s resistance mechanisms to conventional drugs significantly increased in the last decade, in part because of the increase of the immune-compromised patients. In some cases, due to the resistance problem only few drugs present the potency necessary to treat these opportunistic infections however some of these drugs, such as amphotericin B, have the disadvantage of excessive toxicity. During the last years my group has been working to develop new alternatives of treatment to fungal infections. One of these strategies is the sustained delivery system based on nanotechnology. The treatment of mice experimentally infected with Paracoccidioides brasiliensis with desoxycholate amphotericin B (D-AMB) coated on poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) polymeric blends (Nano-D-AMB) showed the same antifungal efficacy than free D-AMB but with reduced numbers of AMB administrations and genotoxicity and cytotoxic effects. Itraconazol is another antifungal drug that has been used in fungal therapies. Our results using itraconazol entrapped in PLGA showed increased antifungal activity and lower cytotoxicity compared with free drug. Another strategy used by our group is the utilization of plasmid DNA encoding sequences to express foreign antigens as DNAhsp65 from Mycobacterium leprae. The DNAhsp65, that can elicit a powerful immune response, was entrapped within liposomes or PLGA systems to deliver DNAhsp65 to treat paracoccidioidomycosis. Both formulations modulated a protective immune response and reduced the pulmonary fungal burden even in the groups receiving less than four times the amount of the DNAhps65. Similar results were observed when the treatment has done with combined chemotherapy and P10 nanotherapy. P10 is a 15-amino acid peptide that carries the T-cell epitope of the glycoprotein 43 kDa glycoprotein, the major diagnostic antigen secreted by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis. Our results showed a marked reduction of fungal load after the treatment. During the treatment schedule, the P10 entrapped within PLGA was more effective than 'free' P10 emulsified in Freund’s adjuvant. The combination of sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim with the P10 peptide entrapped within PLGA demonstrated increased therapeutic efficacy against paracoccidioidomycosis and dramatically reduced the peptide amount necessary to elicit a protective effect. In summary, our results suggest that nanoscale controlled release systems represent a promising approach to deliver vaccines and present advantages over administering the conventional form of the naked plasmid DNA vaccine or conventional antifungal drugs.

This is a list of file formats used by computers, organized by type. Filename extensions are usually noted in parentheses if they differ from the file format name or abbreviation. Many operating systems do not limit filenames to one extension shorter than 4 characters, as was common with some operating systems that supported the File Allocation Table (FAT) file system. Examples of operating systems that do not impose this limit include Unix-like systems, and Microsoft Windows NT, 95, 98, and Me which have no three character limit on extensions for 32-bit or 64-bit applications on file systems other than pre-Windows 95 and Windows NT 3.5 versions of the FAT file system. Some filenames are given extensions longer than three characters.
Some file formats, such as .txt, may be listed multiple times.

SUMMARY
=======
Paper engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the usage of physical science (e.g. chemistry and physics) and life sciences (e.g. biology and biochemistry) in conjunction with mathematics as applied to the converting of raw materials into useful paper products and co-products. The field applies various principles in process engineering and unit operations to the manufacture of paper, chemicals, energy and related materials. The following timeline shows some of the key steps in the development of the science of chemical and bioprocess engineering:From a heritage perspective, the field encompasses the design and analysis of a wide variety of thermal, chemical and biochemical unit operations employed in the manufacture of pulp and paper, and addresses the preparation of its raw materials from trees or other natural resources via a pulping process, chemical and mechanical pretreatment of these recovered biopolymer (e.g. principally, although not solely, cellulose-based) fibers in a fluid suspension, the high-speed forming and initial dewatering of a non-woven web, the development of bulk sheet properties via control of energy and mass transfer operations, as well as post-treatment of the sheet with coating, calendering, and other chemical and mechanical processes.

SUMMARY
=======
Ljubljana (Slovene: [ljuˈbljàːna] (listen), locally also [luˈblàːna]; also known by other, historical names) is the capital and largest city of Slovenia. It has been the cultural, educational, economic, political, and administrative centre of independent Slovenia since 1991.
During antiquity, a Roman city called Emona stood in the area. Ljubljana itself was first mentioned in the first half of the 12th century. Situated at the middle of a trade route between the northern Adriatic Sea and the Danube region, it was the historical capital of Carniola, one of the Slovene-inhabited parts of the Habsburg Monarchy. It was under Habsburg rule from the Middle Ages until the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918. After World War II, Ljubljana became the capital of the Socialist Republic of Slovenia, part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It retained this status until Slovenia became independent in 1991 and Ljubljana became the capital of the newly formed state.
