A groundbreaking treatise by one of the great mathematicians of our
age, who outlines a style of thinking by which great ideas are
conceived. What inspires and spurs on a great idea? Can we train
ourselves to think in a way that will enable world-changing
understandings and insights to emerge? Richard Hamming said we can.
He first inspired a generation of engineers, scientists, and
researchers in 1986 with "You and Your Research," an electrifying
sermon on why some scientists do great work, why most don't, why he
did, and why you can-and should-too. The Art of Doing Science and
Engineering is the full expression of what "You and Your Research"
outlined. It's a book about thinking; more specifically, a style of
thinking by which great ideas are conceived. The book is filled
with stories of great people performing mighty deeds-but they are
not meant simply to be admired. Instead, they are to be aspired to,
learned from, and surpassed. Hamming consistently returns to
Shannon's information theory, Einstein's theory of relativity,
Grace Hopper's work on high-level programming, Kaiser's work on
digital fillers, and his own work on error-correcting codes. He
also recounts a number of his spectacular failures as clear
examples of what to avoid. Originally published in 1996 and adapted
from a course that Hamming taught at the US Naval Postgraduate
School, this edition includes an all-new foreword by designer,
engineer, and founder of Dynamicland Bret Victor, plus more than 70
redrawn graphs and charts. The Art of Doing Science and Engineering
is a reminder that a capacity for learning and creativity are
accessible to everyone. Hamming was as much a teacher as a
scientist, and having spent a lifetime forming and confirming a
theory of great people and great ideas, he prepares the next
generation for even greater distinction.
Principles and Technologies for Electromagnetic Energy Based
Therapies covers the theoretical foundations of
electromagnetic-energy based therapies, principles for design of
practical devices and systems, techniques for in vitro and in vivo
testing of devices, and clinical application examples of
contemporary therapies employing non-ionizing electromagnetic
energy. The book provides in-depth coverage of: pulsed electric
fields, radiofrequency heating systems, tumor treating fields, and
microwave heating technology. Devices and systems for electrical
stimulation of neural and cardiac issue are covered as well.
Lastly, the book describes and discusses issues that are relevant
to engineers who develop and translate these technologies to
clinical applications. Readers can access information on
incorporation of preclinical testing, clinical studies and IP
protection in this book, along with in-depth technical background
for engineers on electromagnetic phenomena within the human body
and selected therapies. It covers both engineering and
biological/medical materials and gives a full perspective on
electromagnetics therapies. Unique features include content on
tumor treating fields and the development and translation of
biomedical devices.
Biomedical Imaging Instrumentation: Applications in Tissue,
Cellular and Molecular Diagnostics provides foundational
information about imaging modalities, reconstruction and
processing, and their applications. The book provides insights into
the fundamental of the important techniques in the biomedical
imaging field and also discusses the various applications in the
area of human health. Each chapter summarizes the overview of the
technique, the various applications, and the challenges and recent
innovations occurring to further improve the technique. Chapters
include Biomedical Techniques in Cellular and Molecular
Diagnostics, The Role of CT Scan in Medical and Dental Imaging,
Ultrasonography - Technology & Applications in Clinical
Radiology, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Instrumentation and
Utilization of PET-CT Scan in Oncology, Gamma Camera and SPECT,
Sentinel of Breast Cancer Screening; Hyperspectral Imaging; PA
Imaging; NIR Spectroscopy, and The Advances in Optical Microscopy
and its Applications in Biomedical Research. This book is ideal for
supporting learning, and is a key resource for students and early
career researchers in fields such as medical imaging and biomedical
instrumentation.

Gerrie Radlof se gewilde Oloff die Seerowerreeks is oorspronklik
tussen 1957 en 1961 uitgegee en het daarna reeds vier uitgawes
beleef. Die verhale, wat in die 1740's afspeel aan die Kaap de
Goede Hoop en die seewee daarom heen, is verwerk om aan te pas by
die moderne taalgebruik en aan te sluit by die hedendaagse tiener,
maar niks van die oorspronklike sjarme en spanning het in die
verwerking verlore gegaan nie. Ook geskik as leesstof vir Afrikaans
tweede taal vir ouer leerlinge.
Plastics in Medical Devices: Properties, Requirements, and
Applications, Third Edition provides a comprehensive overview on
the main types of plastics used in medical device applications. The
book focuses on the applications and properties that are most
important in medical device design, such as chemical resistance,
sterilization capability and biocompatibility. The roles of
additives, stabilizers and fillers as well as the synthesis and
production of polymers are covered and backed up with a wealth of
data tables. The book also covers other key aspects in detail,
including regulations, compliance, purchasing controls and supplier
controls, and process validation. This updated edition has been
thoroughly revised with regard to new plastic materials,
applications and requirements. This is a valuable resource for
engineers, scientists and managers involved in the design and
manufacture of medical devices.
Resources designed to support learners of the new next generation
BTEC First in Engineering specification*. Covers three core units
and a range of optional units. Each unit of the Student Book is
presented in topics to ensure the content is accessible and
engaging for learners. Covers of all the underpinning knowledge and
understanding needed at level 2 to ensure that learners are fully
prepared for this course. Activities in each unit provide support
and clear direction for learners and can be used in the classroom
or for independent work. New Assessment Zone guides learners
through both internal and external assessment. Assessment
activities and grading tips will help learners to achieve their
potential in internally assessed units. * From 2012, Pearson's BTEC
First qualifications have been under re-development, so schools and
colleges could be teaching the existing 2010 specification or the
new next generation 2012-2013 specification. There are different
Student Books to support each specification. If learners are
unsure, they should check with their teacher or tutor.
Our revision resources are the smart choice for those revising for
the external assessment for the Engineering BTEC Tech Award. This
book will help you to: Revise essential content and key skills, and
assessment skills for the performance disciplines Organise your
revision with the one-topic-per-page format Speed up your revision
with helpful hints on how to tackle questions and tasks Track your
revision progress with at-a-glance check boxes Check your
understanding with annotated example responses Practice with
revision questions and answers.
Multiscale Biomechanical Modeling of the Brain discusses the
constitutive modeling of the brain at various length scales
(nanoscale, microscale, mesoscale, macroscale and structural
scale). In each scale, the book describes the state-of-the-
experimental and computational tools used to quantify critical
deformational information at each length scale. Then, at the
structural scale, several user-based constitutive material models
are presented, along with real-world boundary value problems.
Lastly, design and optimization concepts are presented for use in
occupant-centric design frameworks. This book is useful for both
academia and industry applications that cover basic science aspects
or applied research in head and brain protection. The multiscale
approach to this topic is unique, and not found in other books. It
includes meticulously selected materials that aim to connect the
mechanistic analysis of the brain tissue at size scales ranging
from subcellular to organ levels.
Making Hands: The Design and Use of Upper Extremity Prosthetics
provides a historical account of the development of upper extremity
prostheses. It describes different aspects surrounding the
development of key elements of mechanisms and control, for
prosthetic hands and arms, and includes biographical sketches of
some key contributors. The field is broad and uses knowledge from a
wide range of disciplines. Sections cover the background to give
researchers and professionals what they need to learn about
adjacent fields. The author's expertise on the control of
prostheses makes this a very comprehensive resource on the topic.
