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."
