This book is a concise treatise of the alternative paradigms used in BRICS countries to tackle urban housing shortages. There are a number of alternative methods for meeting these shortages which BRICS countries have adopted. These alternatives may agree in terms of desired outcome, but when it comes to approach, mechanics and scope, they are entirely divergent. By focusing on the political economy and the international structure of each BRICS country, these perspectives present alternative and often conflicting approaches to the attainment of better housing. Development Paradigms for Urban Housing in BRICS Countries explores the various political, economic, institutional and cultural factors that have shaped the housing outcomes in BRICS countries that we see today. The book uses a framework which allows comparison between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, whilst recognizing the differences in the development path that each of these countries has taken.

Nanowissenschaft bezieht sich auf die Wissenschaft und Disziplin und Nanotechnologie auf den angewandten Teil davon, einschließlich der Technik zur Kontrolle, Manipulation und Strukturierung der Materie in einem unvorstellbar kleinen Maßstab: dem Nanomaßstab. Es handelt sich um ein relativ neues Gebiet, das das Potenzial hat, die Zahnmedizin zu verändern. Sie bietet neue Möglichkeiten für die molekulare Bildgebung von Krankheiten und technologisch fortschrittliche klinische Instrumente für orale therapeutische Eingriffe. Die Nanotechnologie in der Parodontologie birgt ein erhebliches Potenzial für die Entwicklung einer neuen Generation von Mundspülungen, für die Charakterisierung biokompatibler Implantate im Nanomaßstab, für Therapien gegen Zahnüberempfindlichkeit und für das Plaquemanagement. Allerdings steht die Nanodentistry bei der Ausschöpfung ihres enormen Potenzials noch vor großen Herausforderungen.
