Preface
In the last decade with the development of nanotechnology and consequently the
emerging of nanomedicine, with the discovery of biological machines, it became
necessary the formation of researchers dedicated to this area, able to apply the
principles that rule the movement of these nanomachines. It is precisely the subject
of this book.
This book presents my work on this subject while I was a professor at the Institute
of Physics at Goiás University.
I am grateful to my many friends and colleagues. I would like to especially
acknowledge the help I received from Amando S. Ito and Joaquim Procopio,
who influenced very much my scientific career. I am grateful to José Nicodemos
T. Rabelo (disciple, at Moscow State University, of the great Russian physicist
V .B.Magalinski ˘
i, who provided the precursor to the Quantum Lanvevin Equation)
for critical discussion on the subject, and I acknowledge the help I received from
Salviano de Araújo Leão, who was always ready to help me with computational
software. Also, I would like to express my appreciation to Gonzalo Cordova, my
Springer Nature editor in the Netherlands, whose perfect orientation and cordial
treatment made this a book reality. It has been a considerable pleasure to work
with him.
Finally, I want also to express my recognition to Ms Ramabrabha Selvaraj,
Project Manager and her team, in Publishing Spi Global for Springer Nature in
India, for such a careful and perfect job in the production of the book.
