    • 1st Edition
    • Thomas L. Szabo + 1 more
    • English
    Essentials of Ultrasound Imaging is an introduction to all aspects of acquiring and measuring pulse-echo data to form images.The book provides in-depth exploration of key physical processes, including wave propagation and interaction with physical media, piezoelectric transducers, arrays, and beam formation, and concludes with a survey of advanced topics in ultrasound. Uniquely, principles are revealed by examples from software simulation programs designed to demonstrate ultrasound concepts, and image and signal processing. There are also numerous examples from a Verasonics Vantage Research Ultrasound System to provide unparalleled insight into each step of ultrasound image creation, including signal processing, transducer operation, different types of beamforming, and image formation. The content is organized around a central functional block diagram which is, in turn, related to physical processes and processing involved in clinical and research imaging systems. With a thorough grounding in the fundamentals of physics and methods of ultrasound imaging, readers can better appreciate the introduction of advanced topics and various applications of ultrasound.

  • Multiscale Cell-Biomaterials Interplay in Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine

    • 1st Edition
    • J. Miguel Oliveira + 2 more
    • English
    Multiscale Cell-Biomaterials Interplay in Musculoskeletal Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine addresses the key concepts involved in the interactions between cells and biomaterials in the musculoskeletal tissue engineering and regenerative medicine field. The updated developments and challenges of the mechanisms/mechanobi... and structure-function properties of those interactions, as well as emerging technologies underlying tissue-engineered scaffolding, are carefully discussed. Lastly, cell engineering and cell-based therapies, growth factors/drugs properties, vascularization, immunomodulation are also outlined. Given the large number of musculoskeletal disorders and related injuries that can affect muscles, bones and joints and lead to severe complications of the neuromuscular system, it is imperative to develop new treatment strategies to delay or repair associated diseases and to promote optimal long-term health.

  • The Canary

    Natural History, Science and Cultural Significance
    • 1st Edition
    • Goncalo C. Cardoso + 2 more
    • English
    The Canary: Natural History, Science and Cultural Significance covers the ecology, evolution and conservation of the canary and related species, along with the history and cultural significance of the domestic canary worldwide and various scientific disciplines in which canaries have played a key role as a model species. The book synthesizes the multiple ways in which the canary and its relatives have been, and continue to be, an important scientific model in diverse areas and have influenced human culture. Each chapter is written by international experts in areas such as biogeography, animal behavior, evolutionary ecology, conservation, neurobiology, genetics, or ethnology. In covering this eclectic array of topics, while always focusing on the canary and its close relatives, this book uses the immense appeal of the canary as a vehicle to present notions of ecology, evolution, biodiversity conservation, and so on, to a wide audience.

  • Cyanobacteria

    Metabolisms to Molecules
    • 1st Edition
    • Arun Kumar Mishra + 1 more
    • English
    Cyanobacteria: Metabolisms to Molecules covers diversity, fundamental metabolisms, crucial metabolities, their synthesis, and bioinformatics topics surrounding cyanobacteria, an organism regarded as the most important organism to sustain life on the planet during ancient times. Cyanobacteria are among the first pioneering communities on various harsh habitat, hydrarch or xerarch, which finally facilitate the emergence of vast communities including higher plants. Being the progenitor of chloroplast, the cyanobacterial metabolisms has always fascinated microbiologists. Additionally, the ability of these prokaryotes to produce valuable and prolific sources of natural products signified their role in an array of industrial sectors. Therefore, in this book, the book's authors accumulate the current knowledge of cyanobacterial metabolisms and molecules as a valuable asset for students, researchers, and biotechnologists.
