Berg Publisher: Springer Edition: 1 edition (October 1, 2003) Hardcover: 134 pages URL: /http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect?tag=songstech-20&path=ASIN%2F0387008888 Summary: The bacterium Escherichia coli – E. coli for short – has long been the organism of choice for unraveling biochemical pathways, deciphering the genetic code, learning how DNA is replicated and read, and even for manufacturing proteins of commercial interest. For some thirty years, it also has been a model for studying the molecular biology of behavior. E. coli swims in a purposeful manner, propelled by long thin helical filaments, each driven at its base by a reversible rotary engine. As a microscopic organism immersed in an aqueous environment, it has mastered physical constraints utterly different from any that we know, devising sensors, comparators, and motors on the nanometer scale. This cross-disciplinary monograph describes these feats in a manner accessible to scientists, engineers, and others not trained in microbiology who would like to learn more about living machines. It treats the history of the subject, the physiology, physics, biochemistry and genetics, largely from first principles. It is all about a small but remarkably sophisticated friend who lives in your gut. Topics discussed include: How does E. coli move about? How do cells decide whether life is getting better or worse? What is the machinery that makes this behavior possible? How is the construction of this machinery programmed? How does this machinery work?

Review The applications for image processing technology are increasing rapidly as computers become more powerful. Images enable a doctor to view the inside of the body in a manner that gives him useful information he could never decipher out of the raw data. With the increase in the demand for images, so has the need for information on digital image processing. This book begins with the image sensor and continues through the programming techniques that are applicable . This includes both processing the image for automatic analysis (fingerprint or facial feature analysis), or presenting the image for human evaluation (a digital camera). The book is primarily interested in still images rather than video. The early chapters in the book are oriented to the basic technology of image processing that are used in virtually all applications. This includes a chapter on color imagry and others on the mathematical tranforms. Later chapters are broken down more to application areas such as biomedical, and satellite sensors and imageries. Finally the last chapters discuss image compression to minimize image storage space and transmission times. This includes a full discussion on the new JPEG 2000 standard. One of the authors, Dr. Acharya was a member of the committee developing this standard. This book is suitable for use as a text in a formal setting, or for the individual who may be interested ~ Biological Nanostructures and Applications of Nanostructures in Biology : Electrical, Mechanical, and Optical Properties Bioelectric Engineering Summary Biological Nanostructures and Applications of Nanostructures in Biology: Electrical, Mechanical, and Optical Properties contains reviews and discussions of contemporary and relevant topics dealing with the interface between the science and technology of nanostructures and the science of biology. Moreover, this book supplements these past groundbreaking discoveries with discussions of promising new avenues of research that reveal the enormous potential of emerging approaches in nanobiotechnology. The topics include - Biomedical applications of semiconductor quantum dots, - Integrating and tagging biological structures with nanoscale quantum dots, - Applications of carbon nanotubes in bioengineering, - Nanophysical properties of living cells, - Bridging natural nanotubes with fabricated nanotubes, - Bioinspired approaches to building nanoscale devices and systems, - Hairpin formation in polynucleotides. This state-of-the-art survey of key developments in nanotechnology - as they apply to bioengineering and biology - is essential reading for all academics, biomedical engineers, medical physicists, and industry professionals wishing to take advantage of the latest developments and highly-promising discoveries in nanoscience underlying applications in bioengineering and biology ~ Handbook of Medical Imaging: Processing and Analysis Biomedical Engineering Summary In recent years, the remarkable advances in medical imaging instruments have increased their use considerably for diagnostics as well as planning and follow-up of treatment.
