    • English
    Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications: Fundamental Concepts, Biological Interactions and Clinical Applications brings into one place information on the design and biomedical applications of different classes of nanoparticles. While aspects are dealt with in individual journal articles, there is not one source that covers this area comprehensively. This book fills this gap in the literature.

  • Stochastic Global Optimization Methods and Applications to Chemical, Biochemical, Pharmaceutical and Environmental Processes

    • 1st Edition
    • Ch. Venkateswarlu + 1 more
    • English
    Stochastic global optimization methods and applications to chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical and environmental processes presents various algorithms that include the genetic algorithm, simulated annealing, differential evolution, ant colony optimization, tabu search, particle swarm optimization, artificial bee colony optimization, and cuckoo search algorithm. The design and analysis of these algorithms is studied by applying them to solve various base case and complex optimization problems concerning chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental engineering processes. Design and implementation of various classical and advanced optimization strategies to solve a wide variety of optimization problems makes this book beneficial to graduate students, researchers, and practicing engineers working in multiple domains. This book mainly focuses on stochastic, evolutionary, and artificial intelligence optimization algorithms with a special emphasis on their design, analysis, and implementation to solve complex optimization problems and includes a number of real applications concerning chemical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental engineering processes.

  • Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in Geoscience

    • 1st Edition
    • Steven J. Fletcher
    • English
    Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in Geoscience provides a much-needed resource on semi-Lagrangian theory, methods, and applications. Covering a variety of applications, the book brings together developments of the semi-Lagrangian in one place and offers a comparison of semi-Lagrangian methods with Eulerian-based approaches. It also includes a chapter dedicated to difficulties of dealing with the adjoint of semi-Lagrangian methods and illustrates the behavior of different schemes for different applications. This allows for a better understanding of which schemes are most efficient, stable, consistent, and likely to introduce the minimum model error into a given problem. Beneficial for students learning about numerical approximations to advection, researchers applying these techniques to geoscientific modeling, and practitioners looking for the best approach for modeling, Semi-Lagrangian Advection Methods and Their Applications in Geoscience fills a crucial gap in numerical modeling and data assimilation in geoscience.

  • Current Developments in Photocatalysis and Photocatalytic Materials

    New Horizons in Photocatalysis
    • 1st Edition
    • Xinchen Wang + 2 more
    • English
    Photocatalytic materials can improve the efficiency and sustainability of processes and offer novel ways to address issues across a wide range of fields—from sustainable chemistry and energy production to environmental remediation. Current Developments in Photocatalysis and Photocatalytic Materials provides an overview of the latest advances in this field, offering insight into the chemistry and activity of the latest generation of photocatalytic materials.After an introduction to photocatalysis and photocatalytic materials, this book goes on to outline a wide selection of photocatalytic materials, not only covering typical metal oxide photocatalysts such as TiO2 but also exploring newly developed organic semiconducting photocatalysts, such as g-C3N4.Drawing on the experience of an expert team of contributors, Current Developments in Photocatalysis and Photocatalytic Materials highlights the new horizons of photocatalysis, in which photocatalytic materials will come to play an important role in our day-to-day lives.

  • Office-Based Endovascular Centers

    • 1st Edition
    • Krishna M. Jain
    • English
    Recent years have seen a rapidly increasing movement of endovascular treatment and procedures away from hospital settings to outpatient venues (office-based labs). New technologies offer enhanced capabilities that make it easier and more cost-effective to treat even complex cases on an outpatient basis. Office-Based Endovascular Centers synthesizes the entire process of operating an office-based practice – from regulation and legal issues through to business models and optimal endovascular procedures – helping you ensure the best the possible outcomes for your patients.

  • 150 casos de ECG

    • 5th Edition
    • John Hampton + 2 more
    • Spanish
    Obra que mediante la presentación de 150 casos clínicos, con sus respectivos ECG, tiene como objetivo mejorar los conocimientos del lector sobre este tipo de registros poniendo a prueba sus habilidades de reconocimiento. La obra se divide en dos partes: una primera que incluye 75 ECG que reflejan situaciones habituales en la práctica clínica diaria y una segunda que recoge otros 75 ECG más complejos que se encuentran con menos asiduidad en consulta. En esta edición, más del 15% de los ECG son nuevos, con el objetivo principal de presentar ejemplos más claros. No obstante, en el libro se mantiene de forma deliberada algunos registros confusos para no perder de vista lo que sucede en el mundo real. Siguiendo el esquema de contenido de la edición anterior, cada uno de los ECG se presenta en una única página y se acompaña de pruebas complementarias, como radiografías y angiogramas coronarios, que ayudan a identificar los síntomas habituales que podrían asociarse a las distintas patologías cardíacas.
