Sterilisation of Biomaterials and Medical Devices
The effective sterilisation of any material or device to be implanted in or used in close contact with the human body is essential for the elimination of harmful agents such as bacteria. Sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices reviews established and commonly used technologies alongside new and emerging processes.Following an introduction to the key concepts and challenges involved in sterilisation, the sterilisation of biomaterials and medical devices using steam and dry heat, ionising radiation and ethylene oxide is reviewed. A range of non-traditional sterilisation techniques, such as hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, ozone and steam formaldehyde, is then discussed together with res...
Gels, Genes, Grafts and Giants
In celebration of Allan Hoffman’s 70th birthday, a symposium entitled Gels, Genes, Grafts and Giants was held in Maui in December 2002. This symposium, organized by The University of Washington Engineered Biomaterials (UWEB) NSF Engineering Research Center, was a great success, with many excellent papers presented by scientists from all over the world. All those who made oral or poster presentations at the symposium, but also those who worked with Allan Hoffman in the past or worked in similar research areas were invited to submit articles for special issues of the Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition. The papers from these special issues of the journal have now been published in one hardcover book.

Le Vin au fil des saisons
À la lecture de cet ouvrage, le monde du vin vous est totalement expliqué et démystifié. Mois après mois, il aborde les grands thèmes de la culture de la vigne, les principaux cépages du monde, les vinifications, le commerce du vin, la mise en tourisme du vignoble, les modèles de viticulture et les vins qui en découlent, la dégustation des vins sains mais également la reconnaissance des maladies et des défauts organoleptiques, pour finir sur les accords des vins et des mets. Très vivant et merveilleusement illustré par les photographies de Sébastien Aubinaud, cet ouvrage est de plus truffé d’anecdotes et de témoignages de professionnels du monde viticole, pour une lecture pédagogique et gourmande ! Œnologue de terrain depuis plus de 30 ans dans la vallée de la Loire au plus près des vignerons et vigneronnes, mais également maitre de conférences à l’université d’Angers, Jean-Michel Monnier nous conte le vin et son univers au rythme des saisons.

Esthétique romanesque de Gustave Le Rouge
De l'homme gustave le rouge, l'on sait fort peu de choses, grace aux temoignages de certains de ses amis, l'on sait cependant qu'il s'agissait d'une personnalite aussi eminente que fascinante. Or, d'un tel homme, l'on peut se demander pourquoi, tout au long de sa vie d'auteur, il s'est somme toute cantonne dans la production d'oeuvres ressortissant a un domaine litteraire peu en accord, a priori, avec des dispositions qui eussent du l'entrainer vers les grands genres. Tout le travail de l'etude proposee consiste en une tentative d'elucidation du mystere que constitue l'obstination du puits de culture et d'intelligence presente par ses intimes a n'ecrire que des romans populaires. Elle s'essa...
Surgeons, Manufacturers and Patients
The Total Hip Replacement was invented by British surgeons after World War Two. It became the basis of a multi-billion global industry in joint replacement. This pioneering study ranges from inventive surgeons to multi-national manufacturers and explores total hip replacement in the very different health economies of the UK and the US.
Metals for Biomedical Devices
Despite recent advances in medical devices using other materials, metallic implants are still one of the most commercially significant sectors of the industry. Given the widespread use of metals in medical devices, it is vital that the fundamentals and behaviour of this material are understood. Metals in biomedical devices reviews the latest techniques in metal processing methods and the behaviour of this important material.Initial chapters review the current status and selection of metals for biomedical devices. Chapters in part two discuss the mechanical behaviour, degradation and testing of metals with specific chapters on corrosion, wear testing and biocompatibility of biomaterials. Part...
Joining and Assembly of Medical Materials and Devices
As medical devices become more intricate, with an increasing number of components made from a wide range of materials, it is important that they meet stringent requirements to ensure that they are safe to be implanted and will not be rejected by the human body. Joining and assembly of medical materials and devices provides a comprehensive overview of joining techniques for a range of medical materials and applications.Part one provides an introduction to medical devices and joining methods with further specific chapters on microwelding methods in medical components and the effects of sterilization on medical materials and welded devices. Part two focuses on medical metals and includes chapte...
