Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical Engineering

Several developed countries are facing serious problems in medical environments owing to the aging society and extension of healthy lifetime has become a big challenge. Biomedical engineering in addition to life sciences and medicine can help tackle these problems. Innovative technologies concerning minimally invasive treatment prognosis and early diagnosis point-of-care testing regenerative medicine and personalized medicine need to be developed to realize a healthy aging society. This book presents cutting-edge research in biomedical engineering from materials devices imaging and information perspectives. The contributors are senior members of the Research Center for Biomedical Engineering supported by the Ministry of Education Culture Sports Science and Technology Japan. All chapters are results of collaborative research in engineering and life sciences and cover nanotechnology materials optical sensing technology imaging technology image processing technology and biomechanics all of which are important areas in biomedical engineering. The book will be a useful resource for researchers students and readers who are interested in biomedical engineering.

Topological Quantum Materials Concepts Models and Phenomena

Topological Quantum Materials Concepts Models and Phenomena

In topological quantum materials quantum effects emerge at macroscopic scales and are robust to continuous changes in a material’s state. This striking synergy between quantum and topological properties is of great interest for both fundamental research and emerging technologies especially in the fields of electronics and quantum information. This edition of the book presents a wealth of topological quantum materials bringing together burgeoning research from different areas: topological insulators transition metal dichalcogenides Weyl semimetals and unconventional and topological superconductors. The realization of the application potential of topological quantum materials requires understanding their properties at a fundamental level. This brings us back to the discovery of topological phases of matter which earned the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016. This book explores the connection between pioneering work on topological phases of matter and a flurry of activity that followed. The topics covered include the quantum anomalous and spin Hall effects emergent axion electrodynamics and topological magnetoelectric effects Weyl nodes and surface Fermi arcs weak antilocalization induced triplet superconductivity Majorana fermion modes and the fractional Josephson effect. | Topological Quantum Materials Concepts Models and Phenomena

Microbial Infections and Cancer Therapy

Microbial Infections and Cancer Therapy

This book deals with the emerging concept that certain pathogenic bacteria and viruses when infecting people with cancer actively fight tumors allowing their regression. Although such observations go back more than 100 years use of specific bacterial strains or viruses usually genetically modified with known anticancer drugs and their protein/peptide products has gained ground in recent years allowing significant cancer regression in clinical trials with stage III/IV cancer patients or even in pediatric brain tumor patients often without any demonstration of toxicity. It is composed of 12 chapters written by pioneers in microbial biotech and cancer research and covers the emerging roles of various microorganisms and their products in cancer therapy. The book highlights the benefits of using conventional cancer treatments (such as chemo- and radiotherapies) with microbial-based therapies. Such combinatorial therapies have gained particular attention as a strategy to overcome drug resistance and the readers of the book will discover their impact on fundamental research and promising results from clinical trials. | Microbial Infections and Cancer Therapy

Environmental Ethical and Economical Issues of Nanotechnology

Environmental Ethical and Economical Issues of Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is moving out of its comfort zone of scientific discourse. As new products go to market and national and international organizations roll out public-engagement programs on nanotechnology to discuss environmental and health issues various sectors of the public are beginning to discuss what the controversy is all about. Nongovernmental organizations have long since reacted; however now the social sciences have begun to study the cultural phenomenon of nanotechnology thus extending discourses and opening out nanotechnology to whole new social dimensions. These dimensions and their newly constructed imaginings around nanotechnology intersect with the ecology health governance economy and illusory futures. There is always a need for more than just an ELSI (ethical legal and social implications) sideshow within nanotechnology. The collective public imaginings of nanotechnology include tangles of science and science fiction local enterprises and global transformation all looking forward toward a sustainable future while looking back on the past debates on science and nature. This book highlights the environmental health and economical concerns of nanotechnology and discusses its future research directions. It provides academia and industry a high-tech start-up that will revolutionize modern practices. With little and outdated literature available on the topic this timely book will be helpful for the readers as it thoroughly covers the environmental ethical and economical issues of nanotechnology.

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

This book is an up-to-date review of the most important plasma-based techniques for material modification from microelectronics to biological materials and from fusion plasmas to atmospheric ones. Each its technical chapters is written by long-experienced internationally recognised researchers. The book provides a deep and comprehensive insight into plasma technology and its associated elemental processes and is illustrated throughout with excellent figures and references to complement each section. Although some of the topics covered can be traced back several decades care has been taken to emphasize the most recent findings and expected evolution. The first time the word ‘plasma’ appeared in print in a scientific text related to the study of electrical discharges in gases was 1928 when Irving Langmuir published his article ‘Oscillations in Ionized Gases’. It was the baptism of the predominant state of matter in the known universe (it is estimated that up to 99% of matter is plasma) although not on earth where the conditions of pressure and temperature make normal the states of matter (solid liquid gas) which in global terms are exotic. It is enough to add energy to a solid (in the form of heat or electromagnetic radiation) to go into the liquid state from which gas is obtained through an additional supply of energy. If we continue adding energy to the gas we will partially or totally ionise it and reach a new state of matter plasma made up of free electrons atoms and molecules (electrically neutral particles) and ions (endowed with a positive or a negative electric charge). | Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials
