![]() Nanostructured Superconductors
by
Victor V Moshchalkov (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) &
Joachim Fritzsche (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium)
The main focus of the book is to present the effects of nanostructuring
on superconducting critical parameters. Optimizing systematically flux
and condensate confinement in various nanostructured superconductors,
ranging from single nano-cells to their huge arrays, critical fields
and currents can be increased up to their theoretical limits, thus
drastically improving the potential for practical applications of
nanostructured superconductors.
![]() Selected Topics In Photonic
Crystals and Metamaterials
edited
by Antonello Andreone (University of Naples "Federico II", Italy),
Andrea Cusano, Antonello Cutolo & Vincenzo Galdi (University of
Sannio, Italy)
This volume focuses on a research field that has emerged in the last
decade as one of the most promising and rapidly advancing. The interest
towards photonic crystals and metamaterials and their strategic
importance are evident in the steadily growing rate of topical
publications, the recent creation of topical journals, conferences and
workshops promoted by several scientific societies, the research
efforts at international level, and the number of proposed novel
applications based on them.
The various contributions, by renowned scientists from academia and
industry, address wide-ranging topics, including aspects pertaining to
modeling, phenomenologies, experiments, technologies and applications.

Nanotechnology
For The Regeneration of Hard And Soft Tissues ![]()
edited by Thomas J Webster (Brown University, USA)
Nanotechnology is an emerging and exciting area in the field of
implants. Numerous promising developments have been elucidated
regarding the use of nanotechnology to regenerate tissues. This
important book highlights the potential of nanophase materials to
improve hard and soft tissue applications. In all cases, increased
tissue regeneration has been observed for bone, cartilage, vascular,
bladder, and central/peripheral nervous system tissues.
![]() Dynamical Modeling In
Biotechnology
Lectures Presented at the EU Advanced Workshop
edited by Franco Bagnoli (Universitá di Firenze,
Italy) & Stefano Ruffo (Universitá di Firenze, Italy)
The power of modelization in physics and in engineering is not in
doubt, while in the biotechnological field many theoretical studies
stop at the description level. It is time for theoretical modelization
to enter the field of biotechnology, and that needs people with both
physical and biological knowledge.
This book introduces interested scientists with varied backgrounds to
active research in different areas broadly related to what has come to
be called "dynamical modeling in biology".
![]() Smart MEMS and Sensor Systems
by Elena Gaura (Coventry University, UK) &
Robert Newman (Coventry University, UK)
The combination of MEMS and integrated intelligence has been put
forward as a disruptive technology. The full potential of this
technology is only evident when it is used to construct very large
pervasive sensing systems. The book explores the many different
technologies needed to build such systems and integrates knowledge from
three different domains: MEMS technology, sensor system electronics and
pervasive computing science.

Writing 2.0
A Reader and Writer's Guide ![]()
by Jean-Luc Lebrun (Trainer of researchers and
scientists from A*STAR Research Institutes, Singapore)
The book helps scientists write papers for scientific journals. Using
the key parts of typical scientific papers (Title, Abstract,
Introduction, Visuals, Structure, and Conclusions), it shows through
numerous examples, how to achieve the essential qualities required in
scientific writing, namely being clear, concise, convincing, fluid,
interesting, and organized. To enable the writer to assess whether
these parts are well written from a reader's perspective, the book also
offers practical metrics in the form of six checklists, and even an
original Java application to assist in the evaluation.
Did I Give
Back Enough? ![]()
edited by Arthur Lim (Gleneagles Hospital,
Singapore) & Charity Wai (Singapore National Eye Centre, Singapore)
The book includes first-hand accounts by a wide spectrum of people –
from renowned philanthropits to common folks. It contains interesting
anecdotes with insights into each individual's thought and feelings
with regard to giving. The book is written in an easy-to-read style and
contains attractive photos and stirring pictures.
This book contains real-life stories of some 100 people and groups who
have given generously in various ways, particularly in Singapore. The
areas in which they have contributed include education, medicine and
for poverty alleviation programs.
