      Microbial Biostimulants for Plant Growth and Abiotic Stress Amelioration, the latest release in the Biostimulants and Protective Biochemical Agents series, provides readers with insights into the major role of biostimulants in plant growth and development while under abiotic stress. The term biostimulants is broadly used to reference a group of diverse substances and microorganisms that stimulate life or that promote favorable plant responses. They stimulate natural processes to enhance/benefit nutrient uptake, nutrient efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, and crop quality.Many biostimulants improve nutrition and they do so regardless of their own nutrient contents. Further, recently microbe-based biostimulants have emerged as important plant protectors under a range of adverse conditions.

      As biomechanics is fundamental to understanding the normal and pathological functions of the aorta, Biomechanics of the Aorta presents a holistic analysis of aortic physiology, clinical imaging, tissue and blood flow modeling. It investigates a wide range of topics from basic sciences (vascular biology, continuum mechanics, image analysis) to essential knowledge for clinical applications, including diagnostics, aortic rupture prediction, as well as surgical planning. Expert chapter authors describe and present computational studies and experimental benches, to mimic, understand and propose the best treatment of aortic pathologies.Divided into five parts, the book begins with an introduction to the fundamental aspects of the anatomy, biology, and physiopathology of the aorta, and then proceeds to present concepts of imaging and tissue/rheology characterization, tissue modeling and rupture, and flow modeling and algorithms. The final part dives into applications and case studies including transcatheter aortic valve implantation, aortic aneurysm rupture prediction, aortic dissections, and pharmacological treatments.
