There is a newfound interest in architectural drawing. Some of the most forward-looking architects worldwide are reinventing it to discover the radical possibilities of contemporary architecture as a rich mix of the virtual and the actual. Architectural drawing is adapting to compensate for these new changes to the discipline, and is being used to speculate on new paradigms of space and representation. This AD seeks to showcase the architects who are pushing the envelope of drawing in extraordinary ways, and their insights into architecture's future spatial dexterity. The issue is built around an international group of architects involved in an ongoing KU Leuven Faculty of Architecture international drawing research project, who are creating new drawing methodologies in new and exciting realms. Their projects are written about from the perspective of architectural representation by critics and commentators from across the globe, illustrating a cornucopia of graphic verve and talent in this highly contemporary and thought-provoking issue. Contributors: Aaron Betsky, Penelope Haralambidou, Ulrika Karlsson, Michael McGarry, Nicholas de Monchaux, Ricardo de Ostos, Alberto Pérez-Gómez, Peter Salter, Chris L Smith, Wolfgang Tschapeller, Sarah de Villiers, Robin Wilson, and Jason Young. Drawings by: Bryan Cantley, Nat Chard, Peter Cook, Riet Eeckhout, CJ Lim, Perry Kulper, Metis (Mark Dorrian and Adrian Hawker), Shaun Murray, Smout Allen, Neil Spiller, Nada Subotincic, Michael Webb, Mark West, and Michael Young.

Python is a powerful, expressive programming language that's easy to learn and fun to use! But books about learning to program in Python can be dull and gray—and that's no fun for anyone.
Python for Kidsbrings Python to life and brings kids (and their parents) into the wonderful world of programming. Author Jason R. Briggs guides readers through the basics, experimenting with unique (and often hilarious) example programs that feature ravenous monsters, secret agents, thieving ravens, and more. New terms are defined; code is colored, dissected, and explained; and quirky, full-color illustrations keep things fun and engaging throughout.

NANOTECHNOLOGY IN FUNCTIONAL FOODS The broad applicability of bioactive delivery systems for improving food quality, safety, and human health will make this book a valuable resource for a wide range of readers in industry, research, and academia.
Functional foods is an emerging trend in the food industry, whose potential value is determined by whether they are safe with respect to consumer health. Nanotechnology in Functional Foods was written to help the reader better understand the benefits and concerns associated with these foods. In addition to giving an overview of the current state-of-the-art in functional foods, different aspects of the advanced research being conducted on their extraction, synthesis, analysis, and biological effects are presented. Besides focusing on several synthesis techniques, the book also discusses the application of nanoparticles in nutrient delivery and pharmaceuticals, such as nano-emulsions, solid lipid nanoparticles, and polymeric nanoparticles; their properties and interactions with other food components and their impact on the human body; the consumer acceptance and diversification of these nutrients. Moreover, new trends are discussed concerning the application of artificial intelligence in screening various components of functional foods.

Herbal Drug for the Management of Infectious Diseases The book is a comprehensive compilation of herbal drug applications for the treatment and management of infectious diseases and addresses issues related to development, challenges, and future prospects associated with the use of herbal medicine.
The use of herbal medicines has evolved in various cultures around the world over many millennia. In many developing Asian and African countries, the use of herbal medicines, as supplied by traditional medicinal practitioners, has always been popular. In the last two to three decades, many people in developed countries have begun to turn to alternative or complementary therapies, including the use of herbal medicines, nutraceuticals, functional foods, and other supplements. This resurgence in interest in plant-derived medicines is partly due to the growing dissatisfaction with allopathic medicines, as well as the perception that plant-derived medicines are natural and therefore pure and without side effects, and the progress in the production of higher quality herbal medicines including some with proven clinical efficacy and safety.
