This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Optical Methods in Sensing and Imaging for Medical and Biological Applications" that was published in Sensors
This Special Issue offers a little taste of the immense variety of an intrinsically vast and interdisciplinary subject, namely, the applications of engineering to surgery. Some of these have been successfully applied or are still under development, while we have been offered a preview of others thanks to the fantasy of creative science fiction writers. This Special Issue aims to stimulate the interest of engineers and surgeons, who will benefit from mutual advantages gained from their cooperation.
This book contains the proceedings of the Sixth International Conference of the Balkan Physical Union (BPU-6), held in Istanbul, Turkey, in August 2006. The BPU-6 Conference covers the most important results and trends in physics, including: Nuclear physics and nuclear energy, gravitation and cosmology, alternative sources of energy, econophysics, biophysics and medical physics, history of philosophy of physics, meteorology and instrumentation.
Magnetic, Ferroelectric, and Multiferroic Metal Oxides covers the fundamental and theoretical aspects of ferroics and magnetoelectrics, their properties, and important technological applications, serving as the most comprehensive, up-to-date reference on the subject. Organized in four parts, Dr. Biljana Stojanovic leads expert contributors in providing the context to understand the material (Part I: Introduction), the theoretical and practical aspects of ferroelectrics (Part II: Ferroelectrics: From Theory, Structure and Preparation to Application), magnetic metal oxides (Part III: Magnetic Oxides: Ferromagnetics, Antiferromagnetics and Ferrimagnetics), multiferroics (Part IV: Multiferroic M...
Covering all major components of the ocular system, this state-of-the-art text is essential for vision scientists, biomedical engineers, and advanced clinicians with an interest in the role of mechanics in ocular function, disease, therapeutics, and surgery. With every chapter, leading experts strengthen the arguments that biomechanics is an indispensable and rapidly evolving tool for understanding and managing ocular disease.
"Examining an important, rising trend in today's global system, Citizenship 2.0 does us a fine service in exploring the origins and consequences of the dual citizenship phenomenon."--Alejandro Portes, Princeton University.sity.
This distinctive book presents valuable new research on the political and economic elites that have emerged in Central and Eastern Europe since the demise of state socialism. Integrating theoretically informed analysis with fresh empirical data, the contributors significantly enhance our understanding of the evolution and interplay of elites in the post-communist period. Leading experts explore the elite circulations, differentiations, and competitions that now underpin-- but in some countries also still inhibit--democratic stability and economic growth. A provocative concluding chapter assesses the century-long confrontation between elite theory and Marxism and where they stand today, after state socialismOs collapse.
The book Femtosecond Laser: Techniques and Technology provides complete insight of Femtosecond Laser technology in various ocular indications. Refractive Surgery technology has undergone rapid advancements and innovations in last two decades. Femtosecond Laser offers new possibilities in the field of minimally invasive corneal surgery. It employs near infrared pulses to cut tissue with minimal collateral tissue damage. The highly localized tissue effect of low energy Femtosecond Laser shall expand the capabilities and precision of this technology in near future and may be used to create three-dimensional intrastromal resection with micron precision. Femtosecond laser is a simple, rapid relia...
