    • English
    Modeling and Control of Dynamic Spatially Distributed Systems: Pharmaceutical Processes provides a balanced approach to help readers to get started quickly in the field of biochemical pharmaceuticals. From a theoretical perspective, dynamic spatially distributed systems are introduced to address their industrial applications. After identifying problems, the book provides readers with modeling and control system design techniques via a novel fuzzy set (class of objects with a continuum of grades of membership, to describe the grade of the object belonging to this fuzzy set) and intelligent computation methods.From an application perspective, the book provides a thorough understanding of Good Manufacture Practices (GMP) and the importance of identification, modelling, and intelligent control of such systems, reducing the test-and-error cost, and the R&D design time cycle of original drug development.

  • Signal Processing Strategies

    • 1st Edition
    • Ayman S. El-Baz + 1 more
    • English
    Neural engineering is an emerging and fast-moving interdisciplinary research area that combines engineering with (a) electronic and photonic technologies, (b) computer science, (c) physics, (d) chemistry, (e) mathematics, and (f) cellular, molecular, cognitive, and behavioral neuroscience. This helps us understand the organizational principles and underlying mechanisms of the biology of neural systems and to further to study the behavioral dynamics and complexity of neural systems in nature. The field of neural engineering deals with many aspects of basic and clinical problems associated with neural dysfunction, including (i) the representation of sensory and motor information, (ii) electrical stimulation of the neuromuscular system to control muscle activation and movement, (iii) the analysis and visualization of complex neural systems at multiscale from the single cell to system levels to understand the underlying mechanisms, (iv) development of novel electronic and photonic devices and techniques for experimental probing, the neural simulation studies, (v) the design and development of human–machine interface systems and artificial vision sensors, and (vi) neural prosthesis to restore and enhance the impaired sensory and motor systems and functions. To highlight this emerging discipline, Dr. Ayman El-Baz and Dr. Jasjit Suri have developed Advances in Neural Engineering, covering the broad spectrum of neural engineering subfields and applications. This Series includes 7 volumes in the following order: Volume 1: Signal Processing Strategies, Volume 2: Brain-Computer Interfaces, Volume 3: Diagnostic Imaging Systems, Volume 4: Brain Pathologies and Disorders, Volume 5: Computing and Data Technologies, Volume 6: Advanced Brain Imaging Techniques and Volume 7: Neural Science Ethics. Volume 1 provides a comprehensive review of dominant feature extraction methods and classification algorithms in the brain-computer interfaces for motor imagery tasks. The authors discuss existing challenges in the domain of motor imagery brain-computer interface and suggest possible research directions.

  • Organic Feed Additives for Livestock

    • English
    Feed additives (natural or synthetic) are formulations added to livestock rations to improve growth rates, reproductive and productive traits, feed efficiency, ruminal fermentation profiles, methane mitigation, digestion and absorption of nutrients, immunity, and overall health of the animal. Organic Feed Additives for Livestock will focus on the beneficial effects of organic feed additives and on food animals, including ruminants, poultry, fish, and more. It will also explore how these feed additives can benefit food animal production, reproduction, and health. Each chapter will cover the significance of an organic feed supplement, especially as an alternative to synthetic growth promoters, with topics including medicinal plants, cold pressed and essential oils, natural antioxidants, emulsifiers, acidifiers and organic acids, fibrolytic enzymes, organic minerals, probiotics, macro- and microalgae, organic nanoparticles, yeast and its derivatives, and bee pollen.Contributed by a range of livestock and aquaculture specialists from around the world, this book takes a holistic approach to explore how organic additives offer an efficient strategy to improve livestock productivity and health. This reference is an excellent resource for researchers and graduate students interested in animal agriculture, as well as veterinarians, animal nutritionists and breeders, and other livestock specialists. It will allow experts to stay up to date on organic options for livestock and serve as a starting point in generating new research ideas.

  • Balancing a Sauropod

    The Physiology of a Dinosaur
    • 1st Edition
    • Brant E Isakson
    • English
    One completely unexplored area in terms of physiology is the era of dinosaurs—with good reason, they lived over 100 million years ago and we’re left to make inference based on fossilized bones. However, by merging classical, comparative, and extreme physiology and applying it to current paleontological knowledge of dinosaurs, Balancing a Sauropod: The Physiology of a Dinosaur will for the first time begin to provide a sound physiological underpinning for how they may have lived 100 million years ago. Sauropods were the largest land animals to ever walk the earth with an incredible distance from heart to brain, begging the question, how did they maintain blood flow in their brain? Also, the climate sauropods lived in was hypoxic compared to what we live in now, so how did the dinosaurs breathe in the hypoxic Jurassic era? These questions and others expand to multiple fascinating questions the book will dissect in order of organ systems. The topics focus on major organ systems and apply them to potential sauropod physiology. Less emphasis is given to the skeletal system, as that has been discussed extensively in other literature. Each organ system will be discussed in terms of function and current understanding of how they work in a comparative environment. Balancing a Sauropod: The Physiology of a Dinosaur is written at a technical level to both inform the lay reader and provide a sound argument to scientists in the field.
