Biologically Inspired Optimization Methods: An Introduction

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Biologically inspired optimization methods constitute a rapidly expanding field of research, with new applications appearing on an almost daily basis, as optimization problems of ever-increasing complexity appear in science and technology. This book provides a general introduction to such optimization methods, along with descriptions of the biological systems upon which the methods are based. The book also covers classical optimization methods, making it possible for the reader to determine whether a classical optimization method or a biologically inspired one is most suitable for a given problem.The book is primarily intended as a course book for students with abackground covering basic engineering mathematics and elementary computerprogramming. Each method is illustrated with several basic examples, as well as more complex examples taken from the research literature. In addition, several exercises are provided, ranging from basic theoretical questions toprogramming examples. While… [detailed...]

Biology Is Technology: The Promise, Peril, and New Business of Engineering Life

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Technology is a process and a body of knowledge as much as a collection of artifacts. Biology is no different—and we are just beginning to comprehend the challenges inherent in the next stage of biology as a human technology. It is this critical moment, with its wide-ranging implications, that Robert Carlson considers in Biology Is Technology. He offers a uniquely informed perspective on the endeavors that contribute to current progress in this area—the science of biological systems and the technology used to manipulate them. In a number of case studies, Carlson demonstrates that the development of new mathematical, computational, and laboratory tools will facilitate the engineering of biological artifacts—up to and including organisms and ecosystems. Exploring how this will happen, with reference to past technological advances, he explains how objects are constructed virtually, tested using sophisticated mathematical models, and finally constructed in the real world. Such… [detailed...]

Biology of Sensory Systems

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since publication of the first edition, huge developments have taken place in sensory biology research and new insights have been provided in particular by molecular biology. These show the similarities in the molecular architecture and in the physiology of sensory cells across species and across sensory modality and often indicate a common ancestry dating back over half a billion years. Biology of Sensory Systems has thus been completely revised and takes a molecular, evolutionary and comparative approach, providing an overview of sensory systems in vertebrates, invertebrates and prokaryotes, with a strong focus on human senses. Written by a renowned author with extensive teaching experience, the book covers, in six parts, the general features of sensory systems, the mechanosenses, the chemosenses, the senses which detect electromagnetic radiation, other sensory systems including pain, thermosensitivity and some of the minority senses and, finally, provides an outline… [detailed...]

Biomechanics of the Upper Limbs: Mechanics, Modeling, and Musculoskeletal Injuries

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe repetitive tasks of various forms of manual work can lead to cumulative trauma disorders, increasing staff burn-out rates and the number of sick-days taken by employees. Interest in upper extremity musculoskeletal disorders has grown as the service sector has claimed a larger share of the workforce. The need for an up-to-date student text has arisen, combining the basic biomechanics with the more practical bioengineering issues and taking a different line to the more general introductions to cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) and medical management related books currently on the market. Biomechanics of the Upper Limbs: Mechanics, Modelling and Musculoskeletal Injuries focuses on the upper extremity, the musculoskeletal components, their models, and the measurement and prediction of injury potential. Advanced undergraduates, graduate students and professionals should find it provides an excellent basic grounding to the subject. [detailed...]

Biomedical Acupuncture for Pain Management: An Integrative Approach

Description: Book DescriptionThe authors of this book have developed a treatment protocol which they term the Integrative Neuromuscular Acupoint System, a synthesis of biomedicine and traditional acupuncture that uses biomedical terminology and concepts to interpret the basic mechanisms and clinical procedures of acupuncture, while retaining the emphasis on whole-person therapy and `promoting health while treating the disease,` cornerstones of TCM. The authors maintain that the integration of acupuncture into mainstream medicine cannot happen without biomedicalization. Many readers, in particular Western healthcare professionals, will find this system an effective protocol for treating neuromuscular pain. Contents include acupoint neuroanatomy, pathophysiology, neural bases, and peripheral mechanisms, an integrative neuromuscular acupoint system for evaluation and treatment, protocols for back pain, upper limb pain, lower limb pain, and systemic pain, and therapy for non-pain symptoms, sports… [detailed...]

Biomedical Signal Processing: Devices, Methods, and Experimentation (Synthesis Lectures on Biomedical Engineering)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The study of biological signal processing devices is the study of transduction. Specifically, we must understand how to take the naturally generated signals in and on our bodies, and through transduction (and amplification) convert them to something that can be read by normal data acquisition devices. With this in mind, human physiology will be discussed where relevant, but the focus of this text will be on the underlying physics of the sensors. This book will be organized as follows: Chapter 1 will discuss the general idea of biological signal processing, and why it`s needed. I will then discuss past and present trends in the field. Chapter 2 will describe the devices and their relevant signals, with regard to the various biological systems (e.g. cardiopulmonary and musculo-skeletal). I will also cover the basic computational methods used in the sensor systems. Chapter 3 will go into the principles of performing experiments on actual subjects. Chapter 4 will… [detailed...]
