Following the considerable success of the first edition of Plant
Virology Protocols, this exciting new edition covers the many new
techniques that are now applied to the examination and
understanding of plant viruses. Each section presents the most
novel methods and step-by-step reproducible laboratory protocols to
allow researchers more effective approaches to study plant viruses.

For around half of the couples who have trouble conceiving the
cause of infertility is sperm-related. Intracytoplasmic sperm
injection (ICSI) is the most common and successful treatment for
male infertility. Here, the pioneers for the technique, along with
authorities in the field, describe the underlying science of ICSI
and other micromanipulation techniques. Practical advice for
performing the techniques is covered in depth, including sperm
selection, laser-assisted ICSI, and the use of piezo in ICSI.
Examining the safety of ICSI in animal models as well as the impact
of ICSI on the health and well-being of the children conceived
through the procedure is discussed. This manual is an essential
resource for clinical embryologists and laboratory personnel
wishing to refine or develop techniques and improve outcomes.
The Practical Manual of In Vitro Fertilization: Advanced Methods
and Novel Devices is a unique, accessible title that provides a

issues of clinical concern, and a list of references. The result is
a readily accessible, high quality reference guide for reproductive
endocrinologists, urologists, embryologists, biologists and
research scientists. The Manual also offers an excellent
description of novel procedures that will likely be employed in the
near future. An indispensable resource for physicians and basic

Physical Ultrasonics of Composites is a rigorous introduction to
the characterization of composite materials by means of ultrasonic
waves. Composites are treated here not simply as uniform media, but
as inhomogeneous layered anisotropic media with internal structure
characteristic of composite laminates. The objective here is to
concentrate on exposing the singular behavior of ultrasonic waves
as they interact with layered, anisotropic materials, materials
which incorporate those structural elements typical of composite
laminates.
This book provides a synergistic description of both modeling and
experimental methods in addressing wave propagation phenomena and
composite property measurements. After a brief review of basic
composite mechanics, a thorough treatment of ultrasonics in
anisotropic media is presented, along with composite
characterization methods. The interaction of ultrasonic waves at
interfaces of anisotropic materials is discussed, as are guided
waves in composite plates and rods. Waves in layered media are
developed from the standpoint of the "Stiffness Matrix," a major
advance over the conventional, potentially unstable Transfer Matrix
approach. Laminated plates are treated both with the stiffness
matrix and using Floquet analysis. The important influence on the
received electronic signals in ultrasonic materials
characterization from transducer geometry and placement are
carefully exposed in a dedicated chapter. Ultrasonic wave
interactions are especially susceptible to such influences because
ultrasonic transducers are seldom more than a dozen or so
wavelengths in diameter. The book ends with a chapter devoted to
the emerging field of air-coupled ultrasonics. This new technology
has come of age with the development of purpose-built transducers
and electronics and is finding ever wider applications,
particularly in the characterization of composite laminates.
