Este libro contiene las presentaciones de la XVII Conferencia de Diseño de Circuitos y Sistemas Integrados celebrado en el Palacio de la Magdalena, Santander, en noviembre de 2002. Esta Conferencia ha alcanzado un alto nivel de calidad, como consecuencia de su tradición y madurez, que lo convierte en uno de los acontecimientos más importantes para los circuitos de microelectrónica y la comunidad de diseño de sistemas en el sur de Europa. Desde su origen tiene una gran contribución de Universidades españolas, aunque hoy los autores participan desde catorce países
This book serves as a guide for practicing engineers, researchers and students interested in MEMS devices and biomaterials and biomedical applications. It is also suitable for engineers and researchers interested in MEMS and its applications but who do not have the necessary background in biomaterials. The book highlights important features and issues of biomaterials that have been used in MEMS and biomedical areas, including the fabrication of devices using biomaterials, biocompatible coatings and issues, thin-film biomaterials and MEMS for tissue engineering, and applications involving MEMS and biomaterials.
One of the first long-term studies of the Catalonian city of Manresa during the late medieval crisis.
The Splendor and Opulence of the Past traces the career of Jaume Caresmar (1717–1791), a church historian and a key figure of the Catalan Enlightenment who transcribed tens of thousands of parchments to preserve and glorify Catalonia's medieval past in the face of its diminishing autonomy. As Paul Freedman shows, Caresmar's books, essays, and transcriptions—some only recently discovered—provide fresh insights into the Middle Ages as remembered in modern Catalonia and illustrate how a nation's past glories and humiliations can inform contemporary politics and culture. From the ninth to the sixteenth centuries, Catalonia was a thriving, independent set of principalities within what would...
Breastfeeding is the preferred method of feeding in early life. It is also one of the most cost-effective childhood survival interventions. Breastfeeding practices are important for preventing child mortality and morbidity, as well as ensuring the optimal growth, health, and development of infants. The public health benefits of breastfeeding have been well documented in the medical literature, and include the following: associations with decreased risk for early-life diseases such as otitis media, respiratory tract infection, diarrhoea, and early childhood obesity (to name but a few). This Special Issue book includes a collection of studies on the use of novel methods to improve breastfeeding rates, and research exploring the short- and long-term benefits of breastfeeding for both the infant and mother, including technology-based approaches.
