Nanomedical Device and Systems Design: Challenges, Possibilities,
Visions serves as a preliminary guide toward the inspiration of
specific investigative pathways that may lead to meaningful
discourse and significant advances in nanomedicine/nanotechnology.
This volume considers the potential of future innovations that will
involve nanomedical devices and systems. It endeavors to explore
remarkable possibilities spanning medical diagnostics,
therapeutics, and other advancements that may be enabled within
this discipline. In particular, this book investigates just how
nanomedical diagnostic and therapeutic devices and systems might
ultimately be designed and engineered to accurately diagnose and
eradicate pathogens, toxins, and myriad disease states. This text
utilizes an author conceptualized exemplar nanodevice and system,
the Vascular Cartographic Scanning Nanodevice (VCSN), to explore
various prospective design considerations that might facilitate and
enable selected functionalities of advanced autonomous nanomedical
devices. It showcases a diverse group of expert contributing
authors, who describe actual laboratory-based research aimed at the
advancement of nanomedical capabilities. It also articulates more
highly conceptual nanomedical possibilities and visions relating to
the implementation of nanomedical technologies in remote regions
and the developing world, as well as nanomedicine in space
applications, human augmentation, and longevity. Investigates
nanomedical diagnostic and therapeutic strategies that might be
applied in remote regions and the developing world Discusses how
nanomedicine might be utilized in space applications, inclusive of
spacesuits, spacecraft, future human habitats on the Moon and Mars,
and deep space Covers how nanomedicine may be implemented in
selected forms of human augmentation and toward the potentially
radical extension of the human life span This book benefits
undergraduate and graduate students who are studying
nanotechnology/nanomedicine, as well as medical administrative,
scientific research, and manufacturing professionals in this
industry.
"The landscape and architecture of a city like Berlin possess a
great deal of under-track information. Inexplicable, yet
perceptible, sometimes barely whispered." - Vincenzo Castella
Vincenzo Castella went to Berlin for the first time between August
and September 1989, without imagining that an epochal turning point
was preparing in that city, with the imminent fall of the Wall, on
9th November 1989. The volume publishes for the first time the
shots of that residency. A photographic cycle which, although
presenting itself as a 'digression, an experiment with open
outcomes' as explained by Frank Boehm in his text, with respect to
the themes of his research at the time is fully inserted in a wider
reflection on landscape, understood as a context built and modified
by man, which is also the common thread of all of Castella's
oeuvre. For today's readers, this is not just an unpublished visual
document that, through a silent and essential revival, gives us a
glimpse of how the city looked before history intervened to cut its
boundaries, but also a crucial element to approach and deepen the
work of one of the most appreciated masters of contemporary
photography. Text in English, German and Italian.
An inspiring view of the compassionate side of the medical
community through one doctor's essays on courage, friendship, and
hope. Doctors Cry, Too is a collection of essays from the heart of
physician Frank H. Boehm, M.D. This moving and inspirational book
deals with issues surrounding doctors, nurses, patients, their
loved ones, and the perplexing issues that relate to these
individuals. These essays portray a medical profession who is
sensitive, emotional, spiritual, and compassionate. They include
special moments in the life of Dr. Frank Boehm, such as a son and
daughter going off to college, coping with the personal grief of
losing loved ones, the birth of a granddaughter, and the healing
that comes from joy. The essays also address his point of view on
such subjects as strength and courage, faith, happiness,
depression, forgiveness, death and dying, friendship, the
heartbreak of infertility, parenting, and medical expectations. It
is the author's hope that this book will help you understand that
doctors are subject to the same stresses and pressures of life as
everyone else, and that by gaining insight into the heart of one
physician, you will gain insight into the heart of many.
In Stellenausschreibungen wird von Bewerberinnen und Bewerbern
haufig Logisches Denkvermogen" gefordert. Was genau ist darunter zu
verstehen? Ein Kern logischen Denkens besteht darin, logisch
korrekte Schlusse bei Wenn-Dann-Aussagen (sogenannten
Konditionalaussagen) zu ziehen. Dieses Konditionale Schlussfolgern
ist haufig Gegenstand allgemeinpsychologischer Arbeiten, in denen
die zugrundeliegenden kognitiven Prozesse untersucht werden. Doch
wie unterscheiden sich Menschen im Konditionalen Schlussfolgern?
Das wird in der Differentiellen Psychologie bislang kaum
thematisiert. Folglich existieren auch keine einschlagigen
psychodiagnostischen Testverfahren. Diese Lucke schliesst der
Autor, indem er einen entsprechenden Kurztest entwickelt. Die Basis
der Testkonstruktion bildet ein kognitionspsychologisch fundiertes
Stufen-Modell Konditionalen Schlussfolgerns, aus dem die
Testaufgaben schlussig abgeleitet werden. Der Test wurde in vier
empirischen Studien an insgesamt mehr als 1500 Personen erprobt. Er
erfullt alle relevanten Testgutekriterien und kann neben der
Verwendung als Forschungsinstrument auch fur Zwecke der
Personalauswahl adaptiert werden."
