Bioregenerative Engineering: Principles and Applications

Bioregenerative Engineering: Principles and Applications
Wiley-Interscience | 0471709077 | Edition - 2007-04-27 | PDF |1088 pages | 19 MB

A unique, comprehensive reference that integrates the molecular, cellular, physiological, pathological, and engineering aspects of regenerative processes

Bioregenerative engineering is an emerging discipline based on applying engineering principles and technologies to regenerative medicine. It induces, modulates, enhances, and/or controls regenerative processes by using engineering approaches to improve the restoration of the structure and function of disordered or lost molecules, cells, tissues, and organs. This reference systematically summarizes bioregenerative engineering principles, technologies, and current research to help scientists understand biological regeneration and design new therapeutic strategies. Succinct and well-organized with a detailed table of contents to help readers pinpoint information, this reference:

Daniel Yamins, "Engineering Self-Organising Systems"

Daniel Yamins, "Engineering Self-Organising Systems"
Publisher: Springer-Verlag | ISBN: 3540698671 | 05 March 2007 | 2.8 MB | Pages: 212 | PDF

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Engineering Self-Organising Applications, ESOA 2006, held in Hakodate, Japan in May 2006 as an associated event of AAMAS 2006, the 5th International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems.

The 7 full papers presented together with 6 invited papers were carefully selected for inclusion in the book. The authors' revisions have been significantly improved by the reviewers' comments and the discussions following the presentation at the workshop. The papers are organized in topical sections on overall design and fundations, algorithms and techniques, applications, as well as self-organization and evolutionary computing.

Biological Reaction Engineering: Dynamic Modelling Fundamentals with Simulation Examples

Biological Reaction Engineering: Dynamic Modelling Fundamentals with Simulation Examples
Wiley-VCH | ISBN:3527307591 | Edition - 2003-09-19 | PDF | 524 pages | 62 MB

Here, the modeling of dynamic biological engineering processes is presented in a highly understandable way using a unique combination of simplified fundamental theory and direct hands-on computer simulation. Throughout, the mathematics is kept to a minimum, yet the 60 simulation examples supplied on a CD-ROM with this second edition illustrate almost every aspect of biological engineering science. Many of the examples are taken from the authors' own research, and each is described in detail, including the model equations. The programs are written in the modern user-friendly simulation language Berkeley Madonna, which runs on both Windows PC and Power-Macintosh computers.
Madonna solves models comprising many ordinary differential equations using very simple programming, yet is so powerful that the model parameters may be defined as "sliders", which allow the effect of their change on the model behavior to be seen almost immediately. Users may include data for curve fitting, and perform sensitivity or multiple runs. The results can be seen simultaneously on multiple-graph windows or by using overlays - resulting in a tremendous learning effect.
The authors' extensive experience, both in university teaching and international courses, is reflected in this well-balanced presentation, which is suitable for teachers, students, biochemists and engineers. The result is a greater understanding of the formulation and use of mass balances and kinetics for biological reaction engineering, written in a most stimulating manner.

Biomimetic Materials and Design: Biointerfacial Strategies, Tissue Engineering, and Targeted Drug Delivery

Biomimetic Materials and Design: Biointerfacial Strategies, Tissue Engineering, and Targeted Drug Delivery

CRC Press | ISBN: 0824707915 | 2002-08-28 | PDF | 696 pages | 10.18 Mb | RS

Detailing innovations in wound healing and reconstruction, this reference describes the mechanisms and architecture of biological systems to formulate and design natural and synthetic compounds, degradable and non-degradable scaffolds, and targeted drug delivery devices. It offers strategies to control adhesive interactions, elicit specific cellular responses, and improve the biocompatibility, performance, and durability of prosthetic materials. Covering significant advances in the field, the book discusses the effect of topographical features on cell behaviors such as orientation, adhesion, migration, proliferation, and differentation.
