Modern Aspects of Bulk Crystal and Thin Film Preparation
(2012)
In modern research and development, materials manufacturing crystal growth is known as a way to solve a wide range of technological tasks in the fabrication of materials with preset properties. This book allows a reader ...
Wavelet Transforms and Their Recent Applications in Biology and Geoscience
(2012)
This book reports on recent applications in biology and geoscience. Among them we mention the application of wavelet transforms in the treatment of EEG signals, the dimensionality reduction of the gait recognition framework, ...
Photosynthesis
(2013)
Among the myriads of volumes dedicated to various aspects of photosynthesis, the current one is singular in integrating an update of the most recent insights on this most important biological process in the biosphere. While ...
Chapter 8 Signalling DNA Damage
(2012)
During our lifetime, the genome is constantly being exposed to different types of damage caused either by exogenous sources (radiations and/or genotoxic compound) but also as byproducts of endogenous processes (reactive ...
Chapter 1 Alloy Steel: Properties and Use First-Principles Quantum Mechanical Approach to Stainless Steel Alloys
(2011)
Accurate description of materials requires the most advanced atomic-scale techniques from both experimental and theoretical areas. In spite of the vast number of available techniques,
however, the experimental study of ...
Chapter 3 Xenotropic Murine Leukemia Virus-Related Virus as a Case Study: Using a Precautionary Risk Management Approach for Emerging Blood-Borne Pathogens in Canada
(2012)
In October 2009 it was reported that 68 of 101 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in the United States, when tested, were infected with a novel gamma retrovirus, xenotropic
murine leukemia virus-related virus ...
Chapter 9 Poisson Noise Removal in Spherical Multichannel Images: Application to Fermi Data
(2012)
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, which was launched by NASA in June 2008, is a powerful space observatory which studies the high-energy gamma-ray sky Atwood (2009).
Fermi’s main instrument, the Large Area Telescope ...
Chapter 9 Laser Pulses Characterization with Pyroelectric Sensors
(2010)
There are many industrial and medical applications of CO2 (λ=10.6 μm) and Nd:YAG (λ=1.06 μm) infrared lasers for which the quality of the process are tightly connected to the
characteristic of the laser pulse. These two ...
The Continuum of Health Risk Assessments
(2012)
This book presents a collection of health risk assessments for known and emerging hazards that span a continuum. Case studies for existing health risks include psychoactive drug usage in delivery truck drivers and using ...
Laser Pulse Phenomena and Applications
(2010)
Pulsed lasers are available in the gas, liquid, and the solid state. These lasers are also enormously versatile in their output characteristics yielding emission from very large energy pulses to very high peak-power pulses. ...
