Remote health monitoring using wearable sensors is an important research area involving several key steps: physiological parameter sensing and data acquisition, data analysis, data security, data transmission to caregivers, and clinical intervention, all of which play a significant role to form a closed loop system. Subject-specific behavioral and clinical traits, coupled with individual physiological differences, necessitate a personalized healthcare delivery model for around-the-clock monitori...

Explains biosensor development fundamentals. This title is intended for engineers and scientists who would like to develop and implement novel biosensors for agriculture, biomedical, home land security, environmental and disease identification.

Advances in genomics and combinatorial chemistry during the past two decades inspired innovative technologies and changes in the discovery and pre-clinical development paradigm with the goal of accelerating the process of bringing therapeutic drugs to market. Written by William Kisaalita, one of the foremost experts in this field, 3D Cell-Based Bio

This brand new book is designed to support undergraduate and graduate students taking their first modules in medical physics. It can be recommended as an overarching book to support students studying a number of modules (such as medical imaging and radiotherapy), as general introductory reading on a medical physics course, or as a dedicated book for a specific module on "Introduction to Medical Physics". The book covers the basic principles and applications of medical physics equipment and the r...

There has been a great deal of interest, hype and even fear associated with nanotechnology and its applications in cancers over the years. The debate on the powers of nanotechnology and the high risks and toxic effects of nanotechnology in cancers is ongoing. There have been several skeptics of the technology and several interesting breakthroughs, at least at the laboratory level worldwide. This has led to miracle like powers assigned to nanotechnology by some while there have been strong genera...

This volume reviews recent advances in the understanding of the chemistry of cement-based materials, the structure-property relations, the improvements in properties that have been achieved so far and consideration of potential new applications for such materials.

Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs) comprise a nanoparticle core, and a densely packed and highly oriented nucleic acid shell. They have novel structure-dependent properties that differ from those of linear nucleic acids and that makes them useful in chemistry, biology, the life sciences, medicine, materials science, and engineering. This book is a reprint volume that compiles 101 key papers that have been published by the Mirkin Group at Northwestern University, USA, and their collaborators over the...

The biobased economy is an economy in which food, feeds, chemicals, materials, transport fuels, electricity, and heat are produced economically and sustainably from renewable resources. Such an economy contributes to a sustainable society in which energy, food and commodities are available to all human beings. This book provides a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to advanced and innovative biobased economy practices and offers a variety of case studies.

The use of neural networks is permeating every area of signal processing. They can provide powerful means for solving many problems, especially in nonlinear, real-time, adaptive, and blind signal processing. The Handbook of Neural Network Signal Processing brings together applications that were previously scattered among various publications to provide an up-to-date, detailed treatment of the subject from an engineering point of view. The authors cover basic principles, modeling, algorithms, ar...

The potential value of artificial neural networks (ANN) as a predictor of malignancy has begun to receive increased recognition.
