Interest in clinical cardiovascular imaging has skyrocketed over the past quarter
century. Dozens of new imaging modalities have arisen from advances in the physical
sciences, electrical engineering, information technology, chemical synthesis,
and in pharmacology. Mostly driven by newly developed technology, these
advances have...
This book is intended as a text/reference for students, researchers, and professors interested in physical and biomedical applications of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Both the theoretical and practical aspects of MRI are emphasized. The book begins with a comprehensive discussion of the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) phenomenon based...
In 1997, Dolly the cloned sheep began a biological revolution. She showed us the way to
physiologically dedifferentiate already committed somatic cells, opening the gate to a
whole new world of possibilities in the study of basic biological mechanisms that touch the
origins of life at its core. It is clear that cloning vertebrates...

collect under the same cover the great majority of articles dealing with plasma processing
of...
Establish trust with your team by developing a clear decision-making strategy
Do you have the opportunity to focus on each decision you make? Chances are, you don't. All too often, our choices are rushed and relationships are strained by not thinking clearly or communicating properly.
MATLAB's customizable graphics elements allow you to tailor your visualizations for exactly what you need to present; alter the figure and axis properties, lighting, transparency and camera position. Use MATLAB to apply volume visualizations to your data as well as interactivity and animation, or to plot your data in 1, 2, 3 and higher...
