For medical practitioners, the book offers an invaluable opportunity to learn about the latest steps in dental biomaterials.

This book explains, using the example of endovascular intervention, the development of in vitro simulators for biomedical applications based on the scientific context in the robotics area and the explanation of the medical procedure to be simulated. It presents modeling methods for in vitro representation of human tissue and for representing tissue integrity during endovascular surgery simulation. Additionally, applications of this in vitro vasculature modeling technology are presented: flow control for human blood pressure simulation, computer fluid dynamics simulations using vasculature morphology, catheter insertion robot control and vasculature imaging based on magnetic trackers, and tailor-made scaffolds for blood vessel regeneration.

This book focuses on new microspheres and microcapsules specifically designed and prepared for application in the fields of biotechnology and biopharmaceuticals involving bioreaction, bioseparation, bioformulation, biodetection, and other new bioapplications. It provides a deep knowledge about the principles of design, preparation methods, and application results of new microspheres and microcapsules for each bioapplication area. The book also presents problems that need to be studied further and comments on the future prospects of microspheres and microcapsules.

This book is composed of 12 chapters covering relevant topics of ultrafast laser processing, including laser itself and novel beam manipulation methods for processing, fundamentals of ultrafast laser processing, nanomaterial synthesis, surface micro- and nanostructuring, micromachining, two-photon photopolymerization, internal modification/fabrication of transparent materials, applications to photonic devices and microchips for biological analysis, industrial applications, and so on. Each chapter is written by world-leading scientists in the related field so as to give comprehensive reviews in the field of ultrafast laser micro- and nanoprocessing.

Dyneins are biological molecular motors that move along microtubules and drive a surprisingly wide range of essential cellular processes. This book offers information on both cytoplasmic and flagellar dyneins and the proteins they directly interact with, combining data obtained with a range of biophysical, biochemical and cell biological methods.

Focuses on the discovery components and the toxicological perspectives of nano-materials. This book deals with the basics of nano-imaging techniques required for diagnostics, the underlying principles using which the nanomedicine discoveries are made, nano-oncology, nano-hematology, and nano-inspired discovery of low cost diagnostic techniques.

This book discusses the most relevant issues that a company or university will face when bringing a nanotechnology invention to the market. It discusses obtaining, strategic use, valuation, and licensing of patents. It also deals with venture capital, university-industry collaboration, environmental health and safety, and public perception. The book provides managers and scientists at universities and companies with industry-specific basic knowledge of often unfamiliar issues that are essential to the commercial success of their inventions.

This book presents concepts needed to define single- and multi-component systems, starting with the Gibbs function. It helps readers derive concepts of entropy and temperature and the development of material properties of pure substances.
