Product Description
The primary objective of this book is to compile the latest research topics on biomedical therapy, bioeffects and modeling techniques that utilize vibration and acoustics.This book includes three parts. The first part is dedicated to therapy, which is comprised of five chapters: two chapters on the respiratory system, one chapter on the nervous system and two on cell culture. The second part in two chapters explores the bioeffects of vibration and acoustics on human body parts, including the effect of occupational vibration exposure on different parts of the body. The third part demonstrates how the concepts of vibration and acoustics are implemented through modeling of various biological and biomedical systems and elements. It consists of two sections. In three chapters, the first section of part three focuses on the respiratory system and vocal cords, while section two, also in three chapters, focuses on the MRI system and biosensors.Readers will find this text a valuable asset in keeping them abreast of the latest techniques in these area. It will appeal not only to fellow researchers, but also to clinicians, practitioners, lecturers and students in this exciting and vital field of study. ... Read more

Excerpt: Engineers work to develop economic and safe solutions to practical problems, by applying mathematics, scientific knowledge and ingenuity while considering technical constraints. The term is derived from the Latin root "ingenium," meaning "cleverness". The industrial revolution and continuing technological developments of the last few centuries have changed the connotation of the term slightly, resulting in the perception of engineers as applied scientists. The work of engineers is the link between perceived needs of society and commercial applications. In Continental Europe and Latin America and also in Turkey, the title is limited by law to people with an engineering degree, and the use of the title by others (even persons with much more work experience) is illegal. In Italy the title is limited to people who, besides holding an engineering degree, have passed a professional qualification examination (Esame di Stato). In Portugal, professional engineer titles and accredited engineering degrees are regulated and certified by the Ordem dos Engenheiros. In the Czech Republic the title "engineer" (Ing.) is given to people with a (master) degree in chemistry, technology or even economics (due to historical reasons and tradition). In Greece the academic title of "Diploma Engineer" is awarded after completion of the five year engineering study course and the...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=38223 ... Read more

From the author: In this article, an affordable split-and-recombine polymer static micromixer and its fabrication process are described. The structure of the micromixer was designed to take advantage of the process capabilities of both ultraprecision micromachining and microinjection molding. This arrangement allows a considerably short machining time, high productivity, and flexibility as compared with many of the previous fabrication processes used in manufacturing of micromixers, for example, the cleanroom process. Moreover, in recent years, microinjection molding has become a cost effective mass production method for polymeric components with micro and nano scale features. Specifically, in this study four dominating processing parameters in microinjection molding, including melt temperature, injection velocity, packing pressure, and packing time were selected as variables to investigate their effects on replication quality. Both experimental and numerical results showed that the packing pressure and packing time played an important role on replication, followed by melt temperature while the injection velocity seemed to have no influence on replication. Finally, experiments using two colored water solutions were conducted to evaluate the device performance, and the mixing result demonstrated the successful fabrication and performance of the injection molded polymer micromixer.

From the author: The present study investigates a suitable material, which is expected to have biocompatibility and to promote tissue regeneration. For this purpose, we have chosen chitin that was chemically modified by phosphorylation with high degree of substitution. The phosphorylated chitin (P-chitin) was synthesized using the [H.sub.3][PO.sub.4]/[P.sub.2] [O.sub.5] / [ET.sub.3] [PO.sub.4] / hexanol method. The structure of P-chitin was analyzed by FTIR, [.sup.31]P- and [.sup.13]C-NMR spectroscopic studies, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction. The thermal properties of the P-chitin were also characterized by thermogravimetric analyses. The highly phosphorylated chitin derivatives prepared by this method were soluble in water and amorphous in nature. Thus, [H.sub.3][PO.sub.4]/[P.sub.2][O.sub.5]/[ET.sub.3][PO.sub.4]/hexanol method provides a versatile and alternative route for synthesis of P-chitin, which would be useful for biomedical applications.
