  • Nanomaterials for Bioreactors and Bioprocessing Applications

    • 1st Edition
    • Guillermo R. Castro + 4 more
    • English
    Nanomaterials for Bioreactors and Bioprocessing Applications explores the potential of nanomaterials in improving the efficiency of bioprocessing industries and next-generation bioreactors. The book provides information on various newly synthesized nanomaterials in bioreactors for scaling up the bioprocess to an industrial level, the criteria and properties of nanomaterials to be used in bioprocessing, advantages and challenges while using the nanomaterials, and economic constraints. In addition, the book also discusses the fate of various nanomaterials in the bioprocess, the chances of product contamination, and its prevention. This book is an important reference source for materials scientists and biomedical engineers seeking information on the synthesized nanomaterials that are available for bioreactors and bioprocesses, and the various optimized conditions and precautions to be taken.
  • Atlas of Retinal OCT

    • English
    **Selected for Doody’s Core Titles® 2024 in Optometry**Unparalle... for aiding diagnosis of retinal disease and recording disease progression, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) remains one of the most significant advances in ophthalmology over the past 50 years. Atlas of Retinal OCT, 2nd Edition, provides expert guidance in making the most of this diagnostic tool with high-quality, oversized images that show precise detail and assist with rapid, accurate clinical decision making. Led by the same expert team of Drs. Jay S. Duker, Nadia K. Waheed, and Darin R. Goldman, and with the addition of new editor Dr. Shilpa J. Desai, this atlas remains your go to reference source for OCT imaging of the retina. Now updated throughout to align with current practice, it covers a range of both common and rare disorders and presentations.
  • Small Angle X-Ray and Neutron Scattering with Applications to Geomaterials

    • 1st Edition
    • Yixin Zhao + 2 more
    • English
    Small Angle X-Ray and Neutron Scattering with Applications to Geomaterials provides techniques for the analysis of geomaterials, which is of great significance for humans because geomaterials are related to earthquake, resource development, underground spaces, carbon dioxide storage, and more. The book introduces the fundamental theory of small angle X-ray and neutron scattering and covers pore accessibility characterization for natural rocks from four aspects, including quantitative evaluation of pore structure heterogeneity and anisotropy, quantification of pore modification in coals due to pulverization, estimation and modeling of coal pore accessibility, and nanoscale coal deformation and alteration of porosity and pore orientation under uniaxial compression. Finally, interactions between pore structures and fluid behaviors in geomaterials are introduced, along with the connections between small-angle scattering and other techniques (NMR cytophotometry, Transmission Electron Microscopy and synchrotron radiation SAXS and nano-CT) described.

    • Lawrence C. Hurst + 2 more
    • English
    Dupuytren's Disease: A Scientific Review offers consolidated, up-to-date coverage of both the basic normal (nonpathologic) science and cutting-edge science of this progressive disorder. Drs. Lawrence C. Hurst, Marie A. Badalamente, and David Edward Komatsu break down the complex topic of Dupuytren’s contracture into its basic scientific components. Hand surgeons, plastic surgeons, and orthopaedic surgeons will find this unique, concise title to be especially helpful in their practices.
  • Design of Experiments for Engineers and Scientists

    • 3rd Edition
    • Jiju Antony
    • English
    This third edition of Design of Experiments for Engineers and Scientists adds to the tried and trusted tools that were successful in so many engineering organizations with new coverage of design of experiments (DoE) in the service sector. Case studies are updated throughout, and new ones are added on dentistry, higher education, and utilities.Although many books have been written on DoE for statisticians, this book overcomes the challenges a wider audience faces in using statistics by using easy-to-read graphical tools. Readers will find the concepts in this book both familiar and easy to understand, and users will soon be able to apply them in their work or research. This classic book is essential reading for engineers and scientists from all disciplines tackling all kinds of product and process quality problems and will be an ideal resource for students of this topic.
