This book offers readers cutting-edge research at the interface of polymer science and engineering, biomedical engineering, materials science, and biology. State-of-the-art developments in microscale technologies for cell engineering applications are covered, including technologies relevant to both pluripotent and adult stem cells, the immune system, and somatic cells of the animal and human origin. This book bridges the gap in the understanding of engineering biology at multiple length scale, including microenvironmental control, bioprocessing, and tissue engineering in the areas of cardiac, cartilage, skeletal, and vascular tissues, among others. This book also discusses unique, emerging areas of micropatterning and three-dimensional printing models of cellular engineering, and contributes to the better understanding of the role of biophysical factors in determining the cell fate. Microscale Technologies for Cell Engineering is valuable for bioengineers, biomaterial scientists, tissue engineers, clinicians, immunoengineers, immunologists and stem cell biologists, as it offers a review of the current cutting-edge cell engineering research at multiple length scale and will be valuable in developing new strategies for efficient scale-up and clinical translation.

Data communication using pulse shaping techniques has a critical role in a communication system. In wireless communication, pulse shaping is essential for making the signal fit in its frequency band.The analysis and simulation of transmit and receive pulse shaping filter is an important aspect of digital wireless communication since it has a direct effect on error probabilities. Pulse shaping for wireless communication over time as well as frequency selective channels is the need of hour for 3G and 4G systems. The pulse shaping filter is a useful means to shape the signal spectrum and avoid interferences.This present book deals with analysis and simulation of Square Root Raised Cosine pulse shaping digital FIR filter for WCDMA at 5Mhz.The effect of variation of Roll off Factor, Group Delay and Interpolation factor have been studied. The simulation model has been developed for the simulation study of pulse shaping filter using simulink library from Matlab7.5.The simulation study has been carried out at 64 kbps data rate for WCDMA at 5 MHz using different values of Group Delay. An attempt has been made for its DSP implementation.
