Functionalized Conjugated Polyelectrolytes presents a comprehensive review of these polyelectrolytes and their biomedical applications. Basic aspects like molecular design and optoelectronic properties are covered in the first chapter. Emphasis is placed on the various applications including sensing (chemical and biological), disease diagnosis, cell imaging, drug/gene delivery and disease treatment. This book explores a multi-disciplinary topic of interest to researchers working in the fields of chemistry, materials, biology and medicine. It also offers an integrated perspective on both basic research and application issues. Functionalized conjugated polyelectrolyte materials, which have already drawn considerable interest, will become a major new direction for biomedicine development.
This book describes systematically the theory and technology of the precision forming of large, complex and thin-walled superalloy castings for aircraft engines, covering all the important basic aspects of the manufacturing process, including process design, wax pattern, ceramic molds, casting and solidification, heat treatment, repair casting and dimension precision control. The correlation of casting defects, structural characteristics and performance of castings is revealed through a range of tests. It also discusses the latest technologies and advances in this field – such as imaging the solidification process by means of synchrotron radiography, 3D computerized tomography and reconstruction of microporosity defects, analysis and diagnosis of error sources for dimension over-tolerance and adjusted pressure casting technology – which are of particular interest. Providing essential insights, the book offers a valuable guide to the design and manufacture of superalloy casting parts for aircraft engines.
This book is a tribute to Professor Yuan-Cheng Fung, the Father of Biomechanics and a pioneer in Bioengineering, in honor of his 90th Birthday. The book consists of articles contributed by his colleagues, students, friends and family. These articles illustrate Professor Fung's profound influence on outstanding leaders in bioengineering, especially biomechanics, and on the life and work of all people who have been in contact with him. The scientific topics covered range from fundamentals of science and engineering (e.g., residual stress, flow dynamics, and cellular signaling) to clinical disorders (e.g., atherosclerosis, diabetes, and hypertension). The articles cover the whole spectrum of biological hierarchy, from genes/molecules to cells/tissues, and organs/systems, with close correlations between engineering and biomedical sciences. This book provides an excellent view of the marvelous contributions of Professor Fung as a Renaissance Man.

Variational methods are very powerful techniques in nonlinear analysis and are extensively used in many disciplines of pure and applied mathematics (including ordinary and partial differential equations, mathematical physics, gauge theory, and geometrical analysis).In our first chapter, we gather the basic notions and fundamental theorems that will be applied throughout the chapters. While many of these items are easily available in the literature, we gather them here both for the convenience of the reader and for the purpose of making this volume somewhat self-contained. Subsequent chapters deal with how variational methods can be used in fourth-order problems, Kirchhoff problems, nonlinear field problems, gradient systems, and variable exponent problems. A very extensive bibliography is also included.

Cardiovascular engineering principles and practices with a focus on disease prevention Aimed at advanced students taking cardiovascular, regenerative, and tissue engineering courses, Cardiovascular Engineering: A Protective Approach explores applications of protective engineering strategies and technologies to common cardiovascular disorders. A protective approach to cardiovascular engineering involves studying the naturally occurring mechanisms that protect molecules, cells, and organs from injury and dysfunction. The goal is to use this understanding to design and develop engineering-based therapeutic strategies and technologies that prevent cardiovascular injury and disease. Readers will learn the fundamental and applied aspects of cardiovascular engineering. Coverage includes: • Foundations of cardiovascular protective engineering • Development of the heart, blood vessels, and blood cells • Stem cells and regeneration • Structure and function of the heart and blood vessels • Cytokines and growth factors in cardiovascular disease • Mechanisms of disease • Systems protective mechanisms against injury • Protective engineering strategies • Systemic hypertension • Atherosclerosis and arterial aneurysms • Ischemic heart disease and ischemic stroke • Cardiomyopathies and congenital heart disease

This book presents the concept, foundation, principles, technologies, and applications of cardiovascular protective and regenerative engineering, a newly established branch of biomedical engineering. Protective engineering is to induce and augment innate protective mechanisms to support cell survival prior to cell death in the event of injury or disorder, whereas regenerative engineering is to induce and augment cell regeneration following cell injury and death. The ultimate goal of these engineering manipulations is to mitigate cell injury, restore the structure and function of injured cells, tissues, and/or organs to their natural forms, and maximize recovery from an injury or disorder.This book covers two novel concepts — systems protective mechanisms and engineering. Systems protective mechanisms are naturally evolved processes activated in response to an injury or disorder and are involved in protection against cell death, requiring the participation of multiple regional and trans-system or global protective factors and cell types to assist in recovery of the injured organ. Systems protective engineering evolves from systems protective mechanisms, serving as a foundation for developing protective therapies.The overall goal of this book is to introduce to the reader the fundamental aspects and novel concepts of cardiovascular protective and regenerative engineering, promoting application of protective and regenerative engineering to clinical disciplines and thereby preventing and mitigating cardiovascular disorders. This book can be used as a text for undergraduate and graduate cardiovascular engineering courses and a reference for scientists in related fields.
