      Artificial intelligence in healthcare has become one of the best assisting techniques for clinicians in proper diagnosis and surgery. In biomedical applications, artificial intelligence algorithms are explored for bio-signals, such as electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG), electrooculogram (EOG), electromyogram (EMG), electroencephalogram (EEG), blood pressure, heart rate, and nerve conduction, and for bio-imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Advancements in artificial intelligence and big data have increased the development of innovative medical devices in healthcare applications. Advances in Artificial Intelligence: Biomedical Engineering Applications in Signals and Imaging provides an overview of arti­ficial intelligence in biomedical applications, including both bio-signals and bio-imaging modalities. The chapters contain a mathematical formulation of algorithms and their applications in the biomedical ­ eld, including case studies. Biomedical engineers, advanced students, and researchers can use this book to apply their knowledge in artificial intelligence-based processes to biological signals, implement mathematical models and advanced algorithms, and develop AI-based medical devices.

      Many plant-derived bioactive compounds are the foundation for drugs or effective drugs to cure diseases. Usually, the bioactive compounds in plant biomass are low, and the extraction of bioactive compounds from plants is not eco-friendly, which limits their application in drugs and other industries. While the biosynthesis of some complex bioactive compounds is possible, the scale-up and chemical process technology still needs further application in commercial production of the plant-derived bioactive compounds.Scale-up and Chemical Process for Microbial Production of Plant-Derived Bioactive Compounds: From Laboratory to Industry summarizes recent commercial microbial production strategies for plant-derived bioactive compounds. This comprehensive summary will be of great interest to scientists and researchers, as well as engineers who work on the microbial production of plant-derived bioactive compounds in the industry.
