    • English
    Point-of-Care Technology for Portable Testing Devices: Nanomaterials-Based Optical Biosensors for Cardiovascular Disease Biomarkers presents the latest advances in nanomaterials-based optical biosensor-enabled point-of-care testing (PoCT) devices for the rapid and accurate detection of cardiovascular disease (CVD) biomarkers. This book begins with the introduction of novel cardiovascular biomarkers and advances in point-of-care diagnostics. Subsequent chapters focus on the selection of bioreceptors and the overview of optical nanomaterials for nanobiosensors applications.A major focus is targeted on colorimetric detection, fluorescence, chemiluminescence, Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance, and Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering-based optical nanobiosensor signaling readout techniques, which enable the detection of CVD biomarkers. Furthermore, this book explores emerging healthcare technologies for next-generation portable PoCT devices and recent advances in nanobiosensor techniques for the rapid detection of CVD biomarkers. One dedicated chapter explores the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing point-of-care diagnostics for CVDs, while another addresses critical regulatory challenges and safety considerations in translating nanomaterial-based biosensors into clinical practice.

  • Environmental Psychology and Human Well-Being

    Effects of Built and Natural Settings
    • 2nd Edition
    • Ann Sloan Devlin
    • English
    Environmental Psychology and Human Well-Being: Effects of Built and Natural Settings, Second Edition provides an understanding on how mental and physical well-being is affected by physical environments, along with insights on how the design of environments might be improved to support better health outcomes. The book's uniqueness emphasizes the impact of particular kinds of environments on humans (e.g., cities, therapeutic landscapes, schools), and thus considers the environment as the driver of behavior rather than starting with human attitudes and values. In addition, the content reviews the history, discusses theoretical constructs, research and design, and provides up-to-date research survey findings.New content on the effects of the pandemic on work and educational settings (including remote options) as well as a new chapter on shelters in response to natural disasters is included.
