Bone Cell Biomechanics, Mechanobiology and Bone Diseases provides a comprehensive overview of recent knowledge and advances of bone cell biomechanics and related bone diseases, highlighting the cellular basis for bone responding to mechanical stimuli. The book not only provides a general overview of bone cell biology, but also the most recent advances of bone cell biomechanics, mechanobiology, the relationship between bone cell biomechanics and bone diseases, as well as the underlying mechanism. This will be useful in understanding the role of mechanobiology in bone health and bone diseases, as well for investigating novel strategies for diagnosis and therapy of bone diseases. Cells covered in the book include osteocyte, BM-MSC, osteoblast, osteoclast and chondrocyte. Cone diseases covered are osteoporosis, scoliosis and osteoarthritis. This comprehensive reference is written for researchers, scientists, clinicians and students. - Presents a comprehensive introduction of current knowledge and recent advances of bone cell biomechanics - Introduces new technologies for bone cell research - Discusses the bone cell mechanotransduction, mechanism and bone diseases
This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Space Information Network, SINC 2017, held in Yinchuan, China, in August 2017. The 27 full and three short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 145 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on system architecture and efficient networking mechanism; theory and method of high speed transmission; sparse representation and fusion processing.
This collection gives broad and up-to-date results in the research and development of materials characterization and processing. Topics covered include advanced characterization methods, minerals, mechanical properties, coatings, polymers and composites, corrosion, welding, magnetic materials, and electronic materials. The book explores scientific processes to characterize materials using modern technologies, and focuses on the interrelationships and interdependence among processing, structure, properties, and performance of materials.
Deals with biotechnological approaches incorporated into po- tato improvement progammes. These methods have far-reaching implications for the synthesis of improved, disease- resist- ant and nutritious cultivars of potato.
Present Your Research to the World! The World Congress 2009 on Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering – the triennial scientific meeting of the IUPESM - is the world’s leading forum for presenting the results of current scientific work in health-related physics and technologies to an international audience. With more than 2,800 presentations it will be the biggest conference in the fields of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering in 2009! Medical physics, biomedical engineering and bioengineering have been driving forces of innovation and progress in medicine and healthcare over the past two decades. As new key technologies arise with significant potential to open new options in ...
Insecticides have played a major role in the management of agricultural and medical insect pests since their first application in pest control. The impacts of insecticide on the environment, as well as on organisms in ecosystems, have been addressed for decades. On the one hand, the side effects of insecticides on pollinating insects, natural predators and nontarget insects, can cause imbalances/disruption in ecosystems, and resurgence of target pests, which eventually leads to agricultural production losses. On the other hand, as one of the most successful groups of animals, insects have evolved a wide range of adaptive strategies that allow them to live in almost every habitat on earth, survive and reproduce even when subjected to chemical stresses such as natural plant allelochemicals and insecticides. Outbreaks of pests following insecticide application owing to hormesis effects and evolution of insecticide resistance in insects threatens the sustainability of insecticides employed as the most effective measure for control of agricultural and medical pests.
This set of six volumes provides a systematic and standardized description of 23,033 chemical components isolated from 6,926 medicinal plants, collected from 5,535 books/articles published in Chinese and international journals. A chemical structure with stereo-chemistry bonds is provided for each chemical component, in addition to conventional information, such as Chinese and English names, physical and chemical properties. It includes a name list of medicinal plants from which the chemical component was isolated. Furthermore, abundant pharmacological data for nearly 8,000 chemical components are presented, including experimental method, experimental animal, cell type, quantitative data, as well as control compound data. The seven indexes allow for complete cross-indexing. Regardless whether one searches for the molecular formula of a compound, the pharmacological activity of a compound, or the English name of a plant, the information in the book can be retrieved in multiple ways.
