Terahertz Imaging for Biomedical Applications - Pattern Recognition and Tomographic Reconstruction (Hardcover, 2012): Xiaoxia... Terahertz Imaging for Biomedical Applications - Pattern Recognition and Tomographic Reconstruction (Hardcover, 2012)
Xiaoxia Yin, Brian W.-H. Ng, Derek Abbott
R2,830 Discovery Miles 28 300 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Terahertz biomedical imaging has become an area of interest due to its ability to simultaneously acquire both image and spectral information. Terahertz imaging systems are being commercialized, with increasing trials performed in a biomedical setting. As a result, advanced digital image processing algorithms are needed to assist screening, diagnosis, and treatment. "Pattern Recognition and Tomographic Reconstruction" presents these necessary algorithms, which will play a critical role in the accurate detection of abnormalities present in biomedical imaging. Terhazertz tomographic imaging and detection technology contributes to the ability to identify opaque objects with clear boundaries, and would be useful to both in vivo and ex vivo environments, making this book a must-read for anyone in the field of biomedical engineering and digital imaging.

Quantum Aspects Of Life (Paperback): Derek Abbott, Paul C.W. Davies, Arun Kumar Pati Quantum Aspects Of Life (Paperback)
Derek Abbott, Paul C.W. Davies, Arun Kumar Pati
R1,578 Discovery Miles 15 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book presents the hotly debated question of whether quantum mechanics plays a non-trivial role in biology. In a timely way, it sets out a distinct quantum biology agenda. The burgeoning fields of nanotechnology, biotechnology, quantum technology, and quantum information processing are now strongly converging. The acronym BINS, for Bio-Info-Nano-Systems, has been coined to describe the synergetic interface of these several disciplines. The living cell is an information replicating and processing system that is replete with naturally-evolved nanomachines, which at some level require a quantum mechanical description. As quantum engineering and nanotechnology meet, increasing use will be made of biological structures, or hybrids of biological and fabricated systems, for producing novel devices for information storage and processing and other tasks. An understanding of these systems at a quantum mechanical level will be indispensable.

Stochastic Resonance - From Suprathreshold Stochastic Resonance to Stochastic Signal Quantization (Paperback): Mark D.... Stochastic Resonance - From Suprathreshold Stochastic Resonance to Stochastic Signal Quantization (Paperback)
Mark D. McDonnell, Nigel G. Stocks, Charles E. M. Pearce, Derek Abbott
R1,517 Discovery Miles 15 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Stochastic resonance has been observed in many forms of systems, and has been hotly debated by scientists for over 30 years. Applications incorporating aspects of stochastic resonance may yet prove revolutionary in fields such as distributed sensor networks, nano-electronics, and biomedical prosthetics. Ideal for researchers in fields ranging from computational neuroscience through to electronic engineering, this book addresses in detail various theoretical aspects of stochastic quantization, in the context of the suprathreshold stochastic resonance effect. Initial chapters review stochastic resonance and outline some of the controversies and debates that have surrounded it. The book then discusses suprathreshold stochastic resonance, and its extension to more general models of stochastic signal quantization. Finally, it considers various constraints and tradeoffs in the performance of stochastic quantizers, before culminating with a chapter in the application of suprathreshold stochastic resonance to the design of cochlear implants.

Wickedictionary (Paperback): Derek Abbott Wickedictionary (Paperback)
Derek Abbott
R352 Discovery Miles 3 520 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The name "Wickedictionary" is intended to be a satirical play on the word "Wiktionary." This is a collection of definitions of words as in a dictionary, except the definitions are perverse in the style of Ambrose Bierce's the "Devil's Dictionary." This is not a book of quotations, although the definitions are quotable. The idea is to modernize Ambrose Bierce, coming up with a more contemporary and cutting-edge collection of definitions. This is intended to be comical, there are no sides, and nothing is sacred here. Basically any definition that has a surprise twist qualifies for entry, whether it happens to be cynical or not. The idea is we don't have to necessarily agree with these definitions, but to merely enjoy them for making us think. As Aristotle once said, "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
