Research in analog integrated circuits has recently gone in the direction
of low-voltage (LV)‚ low-power (LP) design‚ especially in the environment of
portable systems where a low supply voltage‚ given by a single-cell battery‚ is
used. These LV circuits have to show also a reduced power consumption to...
"Extreme Tissue Engineering" is an engaging introduction to Tissue Engineering and Regenerative Medicine (TERM), allowing the reader to understand, discern and place into context the mass of scientific, multi-disciplinary data currently flooding the field. It is...
Written by known specialists in the field, this is a comprehensive and timely overview of a central and expanding topic. Simultaneously an introduction and a description of the latest concepts, findings and methods, the handbook provides basic knowledge on technical issues required for those intending to research in the field. It covers the...
The main goal of the new field of data mining is the analysis of large and complex datasets. Some very important datasets may be derived from business and industrial activities. This kind of data is known as enterprise data . The common characteristic of such datasets is that the analyst wishes to analyze them for the purpose of designing a...
This book deals with the problem of optimal allocation of effort to detect a
target. A Bayesian approach is taken in which it is assumed that there is a
prior distribution for the target's location which is known to the searcher as
well as a function which relates the conditional probability of detecting...
As wireless devices and systems get both smaller and more ubiquitous, the demand for effective but small antennas is rapidly increasing. This book will describe the theory behind effective small antenna design and give design techniques and examples for small antennas for different operating frequencies. Design techniques are given for the...
Back in 1997, when I began my career as a professional web developer, I started working with
Classic ASP. After a brief training period in a few different programming languages such as C++
and Java, I was thrown in at the deep end and assigned to a project to build an Intranet application
for a large consultancy firm in the Netherlands...
The endothelium, the cell layer that forms the inner lining of blood vessels, is a spatially distributed system that extends to all reaches of the human body. Today, clinical and basic research demonstrates that the endothelium plays a crucial role in mediating homeostasis and is involved in virtually every disease, either as a primary...
The unexpected results from an investigation into hereditary congenital anorectal malformations of pig embryos have demonstrated the weakness of earlier interpretations and constructions and underlined the need for a new inquiry into the normal development of the area in human embryos. It demonstrated that although data from malformations may...
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is the 13th commonest cancer worldwide, and the most common cancer in the Asian subcontinent due to the widespread habit of tobacco and betel nut chewing. Despite many advances in diagnosis and treatment, the survival statistics have only marginally improved. However our...
Transgenic plants present enormous potential to become one of the most cost-effective and safe systems for large-scale production of proteins for industrial, pharmaceutical, veterinary, and agricultural uses. Over the past decade, much progress has been made with respect to the development of vaccines, antibodies, and other therapeutic...
Electric Vehicle Battery Systems provides operational theory and design guidance for engineers and technicians working to design and develop efficient electric vehicle (EV) power sources. As Zero Emission Vehicles become a requirement in more areas of the world, the technology required to design and maintain their complex battery systems is...
