This book commemorates four decades of research by Professor Magdy F. Iskander (Life Fellow IEEE) on materials and devices for the radiation, propagation, scattering, and applications of electromagnetic waves, chiefly in the MHz-THz frequency range as well on electromagnetics education. This synopsis of applied electromagnetics, stemming from the life and times of just one person, is meant to inspire junior researchers and reinvigorate mid-level researchers in the electromagnetics community. The authors of this book are internationally known researchers, including 14 IEEE fellows, who highlight interesting research and new directions in theoretical, experimental, and applied electromagnetics.
Pluripotent stem cells have the potential to revolutionise medicine, providing treatment options for a wide range of diseases and conditions that currently lack therapies or cures. This book describes methodological advances in the culture and manipulation of embryonic stem cells that will serve to bring this promise to practice.
Diffractional Optics of Millimetre Waves combines those elements of diffraction theory normally associated with optics, including Gaussian beams, lenses, and mirrors, and extends them into the micro- and millimetre wavelength range. In this regime there are a number of applications in devices, such as automobile proximity sensors, satellite-TV receiving antennae, and non-destructive testing systems. Researchers working in these areas would benefit from greater understanding of the diffraction phenomena involved. A translated and updated version of the authors' book Diffraction Quasioptics, this book will present results formerly unavailable in the general literature.
The most distinctive feature in the development of information science and life science is the gradual and growing interlacing of these two fields. As a result, many new disciplines and technologies have emerged from the overlap of these two areas of science. Today, information science and life science depend on each other so closely that they can no longer exist and grow independently. The interaction and interdependence between the information and life sciences is expected to grow exponentially in the 21st century. Development of the life sciences based on information science and computation will reveal many significant challenges in the life sciences, as well as lead to many new and important discoveries, including targeted and breakthrough drugs. Application of these discoveries extends to such areas as biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, e-health, pharmaceuticals, and the agricultural sciences. Contents: Preface; Applications of Smoothing Methods in Numerical Analysis and Optimisation; Stochastic Programming Models for Vehicle Routing Problems; An Improved Iterative Criterion for GDDM with Elective Parameters; Higher-order Asymptotic Theories of the Jackknife in a Multivariat
Most human tissues do not regenerate spontaneously, but the development of biotherapies using stem cells may offer promising alternatives. Among the possible medium-term therapeutic applications for this technique are: cardiac insufficiency, preparation of small diameter arteries, treatment of atherosclerosis, bone repair, cartilage defects, burns, diabetes, liver or bladder regeneration, and neurodegenerative disorders. This concept of regenerative medicine is an emerging multidisciplinary field involving surgery medicine, biology, chemistry, mechanics and engineering, and can be seen as a way of improving health and quality of life by restoring, maintaining, or enhancing tissue and organ f...
