Nanotechnology Applications for Food Safety and Quality Monitoring
brings together nanotechnology science-based research for food
safety and quality monitoring. With the advancement in knowledge
about behavior of nano-engineered materials in food and its
toxicity, the application of nanotechnology is expected to reach
unprecedented levels in achieving food safety. Currently, there is
no practical resource of nanotechnology as a tool specifically for
monitoring safety and quality. This is a practical, concise,
applications-based reference that is essential for food industry
researchers and scientists to monitor the safety and quality of
food to ensure quality food supplies.
Nanotechnology in Human Health: Current Research and Future Trends
details the various challenges faced in human healthcare settings
and how nanotechnology can be used to target and improve outcomes.
The book describes the application of nanoparticles in the
diagnosis of human diseases, including metabolic diseases, cancer,
bacterial infection, organ degeneration and the various targeted,
nano-based treatments available. Several chapters look at how
microbial biofilms - a key clinical concern - can be mitigated
using nanomaterials and nanotechnology. In addition, the book
covers how different nanoparticle types can be utilized as
therapeutic agents. This book combines materials science concepts
and techniques with clinical insights and understanding to provide
an interdisciplinary reference for materials scientists,
microbiologists, biomedical engineers and clinicians with an
interest in nanotechnology.
Microfluidic Biosensors provides a comprehensive overview of the
most recent and emerging technologies in the design, fabrication
and integration of microfluidics with transducers. The book
discusses the design and principle of microfluidic systems and how
to use them for lab-on-a-chip applications. The microfluidic
fabrication technologies covered in this book provide an up-to-date
view, allowing the community to think of new ways to overcome
challenges faced in this field. The book's focus is on existing and
emerging technologies not currently being analyzed extensively
elsewhere, thus providing a unique perspective and much needed
content. The editors have crafted this book to be accessible to all
levels of academics, from graduate students, researchers and
professors working in the fields of biosensors, microfluidics
design, analytical chemistry, biomedical devices and biomedical
engineering. It will also be useful for industry professionals
working for microfluidic device manufacturers, or in the biosensor
and biomedical devices industry.

In this engaging account of innovative triumphs, Guru Madhavan
examines the ways in which engineers throughout history created
world-changing tools, from ATMs and ZIP codes to the digital camera
and the disposable diaper. Equal parts personal, practical, and
profound, Applied Minds charts a path to a future where we borrow
strategies from engineering to find inspired solutions to our most
pressing challenges.
Modeling of Mass Transport Processes in Biological Media focuses on
applications of mass transfer relevant to biomedical processes and
technology-fields that require quantitative mechanistic
descriptions of the delivery of molecules and drugs. This book
features recent advances and developments in biomedical therapies
with a focus on the associated theoretical and mathematical
techniques necessary to predict mass transfer in biological
systems. The book is authored by over 50 established researchers
who are internationally recognized as leaders in their fields. Each
chapter contains a comprehensive introductory section for those new
to the field, followed by recent modeling developments motivated by
empirical experimental observation. Offering a unique opportunity
for the reader to access recent developments from technical,
theoretical, and engineering perspectives, this book is ideal for
graduate and postdoctoral researchers in academia as well as
experienced researchers in biomedical industries.
