Book Description

Biosensors offer clear and distinct advantages over standard analytical methods for the direct monitoring of environmental pollutants in the field, such as real-time detection with minimum sample preparation and handling. The present book highlights recent advantages that will be of great value to a range of scientists, researchers and students dealing with analytical and environmental chemistry and biosensor technology. It presents recent trends in analytical methodology for the determination of indoor and outdoor pollutants, advances in DNA, biological and recognition-based sensors, examples of biosensors for use in field and water analysis, biosensors based on non-aqueous systems, and recent advances in the miniaturisation and micromachining of biosensors.

Book Description

Implants into the human body, such as hip joints, heart valves and dental crowns, have been increasingly used over the last 40 years or so, and many patients have benefited from their use. But how much is known about the metals, ceramics and polymers that are used in these repairs?||This book provides a state-of-the-art account of the chemistry of the synthetic materials used in medicine and dentistry. It looks at the properties and interactions of these materials within the body at a molecular level, and includes discussion of bioengineering and cell biology. In addition, there is an account of the surgical procedures used, as well as extensive coverage of the possible biological reactions to the presence of foreign materials in the body. A brief look at the emerging field of tissue engineering completes the text.||Fully referenced, with detailed reviews of the current literature, "The Chemistry of Medical and Dental Materials" will be an essential starting-point for all those in academia and industry who are involved in the development of new and improved repair materials.

Book Description

Although the use of fuzzy control methods has grown nearly to the level of classical control, the true understanding of fuzzy control lags seriously behind. Moreover, most engineers are well versed in either traditional control or in fuzzy control-rarely both. Each has applications for which it is better suited, but without a good understanding of both, engineers cannot make a sound determination of which technique to use for a given situation. A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control is designed to build the foundation needed to make those decisions. It begins with an introduction to standard control theory, then makes a smooth transition to complex problems that require innovative fuzzy, neural, and fuzzy-neural techniques. For each method, the authors clearly answer the questions: What is this new control method? Why is it needed? How is it implemented? Real-world examples, exercises, and ideas for student projects reinforce the concepts presented. Developed from lecture notes for a highly successful course titled The Fundamentals of Soft Computing, the text is written in the same reader-friendly style as the authors' popular A First Course in Fuzzy Logic text. A First Course in Fuzzy and Neural Control requires only a basic background in mathematics and engineering and does not overwhelm students with unnecessary material but serves to motivate them toward more advanced studies.

Customer Reviews:

Intermedium level.......2005-01-22

This book deepens concepts about fuzzy theory and fuzzy control. It is a useful tool to develop applications in fuzzy control. Otherwise this one presents a basic introduction to neural network, furthermore the theory about neural-fuzzy and fuzzy-neural is presented in basic form. The book contains a large number of examples about all items and Matlab software is used in many of they. I would catalog this book in medium level of deepening. Topics about fuzzy control are tried deeper than neuro-fuzzy, fuzzy-neural topics.

Excellent introductory book.......2003-09-24

Fascinating reading. I had trouble putting it down at times, which is a lot to be said for a text book! Although I had lots of experience with classical control methods I hadn't studied neural or fuzzy systems before. I found the book gave me an excellent introduction to the topics in a highly readable format and yet also gave me the details mathematics required to be able to be able to program fuzzy and neural systems myself. It also had examples using the Matlab toolboxes which was useful.
