Because artificial sensors have assumed a major role in both domestic and industrial settings, the development of new technologies continues. Sensor Materials is the first publication that approaches the subject of sensors from a materials standpoint and provides a global overview of the field in a single, compact, and accessible volume.
Introductory chapters present a solid introduction to the classification of sensors and the various properties of materials used in sensing. The subsequent chapters deal with specific areas of sensor materials, including metal, semiconductor, dielectric, solid electrolytic, magnetic, fiber optics, radiant, and biological materials. In addition, there is substantial bibliographic information that provides a source of published research literature for each sensor.

New techniques make it possible for investigators to examine and sometimes quantify various aspects of nuclear morphology and function; now they can derive clinically and biologically useful information about the nucleus. This book draws together a series of techniques which have been successfully applied to the study of the nucleus of tumour cells. These are of fundamental importance to researchers in tumour histopathology and medical oncology. Detailed reviews are given of various aspects of the morphology, ploidy and karyotypic status and function of the nuclei in the cells of tumours and preneoplastic lesions. Topics covered include nuclear morphology in tumour diagnosis, the ultrastructure of the nucleus, karyotypic analyses of solid tumours, flow cytometric assessment of nuclear ploidy and other parameters, histomorphometry of the nucleus, and in situ hybridisation.

The collection illustrates the multi-faceted nature of Native experiences and represents the Indigenous arts of North America as a vibrant continuum.

Mechanisms are fundamental components of machines. They are used to transmit forces and moments and to manipulate objects in industrial machinery, robots, automobiles, aircraft, mechatronics devices and biomechanical systems. A knowledge of the kinematic and dynamic properties of mechanisms is essential for their design and control. This book describes methods and algorithms for the analysis of kinematic systems. Beginning with basic concepts, the book then discusses a variety of problem-solving approaches and computational techniques. Its distinctive feature is its focus on the contour equation as a powerful, computationally efficient tool that will help the reader to design complex spatial mechanisms. This handy text will be useful for senior or graduate students, researchers and practising engineers working in robotics, vehicle dynamics, mechatronics and machine design.

A practical and proven guide to foster entrepreneurship and build a supportive community that will grow businesses, create jobs, and bolster the economy in a mere months. Written by the community and civic leaders and social entrepreneurs who used the guide to usher in many of Kansas City's entrepreneur and community successes...thereby fostering large-scale economic growth.

""The Organic Entrepreneur Economy depicts how Kansas City, Blue Springs, and Lee's Summit have triggered their growing entrepreneurial communities and economies, in our county. While radical, this economic development approach is framed by highly-experienced practitioners."
Robbie Makinen - Director of Economic Development and Government Relations for Jackson County, Missouri "

Entrepreneurs are sprouting new ventures everywhere, but only a few cities and regions are able to attract high concentrations of these economic accelerators. Is it random chance, or is there a science to building a strong economy? There are experienced experts with theories and suggestive methodologies, but it turns out the proven method still uses infrastructures. The Organic Entrepreneur Economy depicts how little known "social" and "community" infrastructures are the key to fostering entrepreneurship and creating fast-paced economic growth.

The book details how to leverage a city or region's community of people to foster and accelerate the entrepreneurial potential in their city or region. There is no magic behind the infrastructures; rather the authors depict how human behavior has led community after community to succeed. Best of all, it does not require massive infusions of governmental or philanthropic funds; just the commitment to make it happen.

Authored by a diverse cast of experts with highly sought-after backgrounds in education, entrepreneurship, economic development, venture capital, and public utilities-supported communities; the book dissects the proven social and community infrastructures to depict how and why they work. The Organic Entrepreneur Economy promises readers a thought-provoking experience that, if implemented, will lead to immediate and lasting economic results.

This book builds on the highly successful first edition, providing a concise description of all common laboratory tests available in medical practice with notes on their application, the accuracy of each test, the historical background to the adoption of various tests and their effectiveness in diagnosis. It will be an essential primary reference source for everyone working in a clinical laboratory. The text benefits from the use of clear headings, tables, flowcharts and pathology slides, the majority of which are in full colour.

The aim of the Editors has been to provide an accessible reference book in which easy access of information is of primary importance. They succeeded in the first edition, as was apparent from the reviews, and the format has been repeated. All the chapters have been updated and new material has been introduced to cover recently developed techniques, such as fluid-based cytology, telepathology and proteomics.

This book will be essential reading for pathologists, biomedical scientists, medical laboratory scientific officers and all clinicians involved in laboratory research.

"The editors have done a marvellous job, more than fulfilling their stated aim of producing a volume describing the multidisciplinary state of modern pathology which will be ofinterest to a wide range of readers. ... I was particularly impressed by the many tables and flow charts, which can be used as aids to decision making." DM Barnes, Journal of Clinical Pathology

"This is an excellent book to dip into and get a feel for techniques used in the other disciplines of pathology." G McCreanor, Annals of Clinical Biochemistry

Molecular biology has had a major impact on the practice of pathology in recent years and this continues with the new approaches being developed in genomics and proteomics. Knowledge of the molecular organization of the cell has led to the development of powerful new techniques which bring greater accuracy and objectivity to the diagnosis, prognosis and management of many diseases, and to the study of pathological states. This book is a completely revised and updated version of the popular Molecular Biology in Histopathology, with added material covering the latest methodologies and now featuring colour plates. It describes the molecular techniques available and provides an overview of how they can be applied.

It is aimed at histopathologists in training, clinicians and biologists studying for post-graduate qualifications and will also be of interest to biochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists and biotechnologists, in academia, clinical medicine and industry.
