Meso- to Micro- Actuators: A Theoretical and Practical Approach

CRC Press, 2008

Exploring the design and use of micro- and meso-actuators, this book begins with theory and a general synopsis of the state-of-the-art in theoretical research. It discusses how to employ modern approaches in research and design activity, then presents a systematic list of already available products and details their potential for use. Design...

IP Routing

O'Reilly, 2002

This concise guide offers the basic concepts of IP routing, free of hype and jargon. It begins with the simplest routing protocol, RIP, and then proceeds, in order of complexity, to IGRP, EIGRP, RIP2, OSPF, and finally to BGP. New concepts are presented one at a time in successive chapters. By the end, you will have mastered not only...

Biomechanics: Principles and Applications, Second Edition

CRC Press, 2007

Engineering is the integration of art and science and involves the use of systematic knowledge based on the principles of mathematics and the physical sciences to design and develop systems that have direct practical applicability for the benefit of mankind and society.With this philosophy in mind, the importance of the engineering...

Functional and Dysfunctional Sexual Behavior: A Synthesis of Neuroscience and Comparative Psychology

Academic Press, 2007

For a long time I was fascinated by trying to understand the behavioral, endocrine and neural mechanisms controlling rat sexual behavior, independently of whether such an understanding was of any use or not. My favorite afternoon distraction was to walk over to the lab and see how the experiments were going, and if possible I...

Discontinuous Finite Elements in Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer (Computational Fluid and Solid Mechanics)

Springer, 2006

Over the past several years, significant advances have been made in developing the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for applications in fluid flow and heat transfer. Certain unique features of the method have made it attractive as an alternative for other popular methods such as finite volume and finite elements in...

Flavonoids: Chemistry, Biochemistry and Applications

CRC Press, 2005

It is with great pleasure that we accepted the offer by CRC Press to assemble and edit this compilation of reviews on flavonoids and their properties and functions for the present volume. We considered the volume timely in that the last book of this general type, The Flavonoids—Advances in Research Since 1986 (edited by...

Pediatric Allergy, Asthma and Immunology

Springer, 2008

Pediatric Allergy,Asthma and Immunology is a new discipline that finds its foundation in this book, whose roots linke me to Elena and Luisa Businco,with whom I founded the first Italian Pediatric Allergy Division some 30years ago, now called the Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Division.

Congestive Heart Failure

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2006

Having first decided to organize and edit a book on heart failure in 1992 (with a 1994 publication date), we have been astounded at the changes in the field over a relatively brief 14-year period. It is with some amusement that we now look back at our first edition and note a combined chapter of beta agonists and...

Neuroethics: Challenges for the 21st Century

Cambridge University Press, 2007

In the late 1960s, a new field of philosophical and moral enquiry came into existence. Bioethics, as it soon came to be called, quickly mushroomed: it developed its own journals, its own professional associations, its own conferences, degree programs and experts. It developed very rapidly for many reasons, but no doubt the main...

A Primer for the Monte Carlo Method

CRC Press, 1994

The Monte Carlo method is a numerical method of solving mathematical problems through random sampling. As a universal numerical technique, the method became possible only with the advent of computers, and its application continues to expand with each new computer generation. A Primer for the Monte Carlo Method demonstrates how practical...
