This book describes the different principles and equipment used in medical imaging. The importance of medical imaging for diagnostics is rapidly increasing. A good working knowledge of all the different possible physical principles involved in medical imaging is now imperative. This book covers many of these principles including matter photon interactions, the principles of detectors, detectors and information processing for radiology, X-ray tom ...
Rotating Thermal Flows in Natural and Industrial Processes provides the reader with a systematic description of the different types of thermal convection and flow instabilities in rotating systems, as present in materials, crystal growth, thermal engineering, meteorology, oceanography, geophysics and astrophysics. It expressly shows how the isomorphism between small and large scale phenomena becomes beneficial to the definition and ensuing devel ...
This book provides a comprehensive description of an optical communications technology known as free space optical—a next-generation communications network that uses optical signals through the atmosphere instead of fiber, RF, or microwaves. This technology potentially offers more complex ultrabandwidth communication services simultaneously to multiple users and in a very short time, compared to fiber optic technology. This text presents establi ...
Bald leben mehr als eine Million (!) Waschbaren in unseren Waldern und nicht nur da ? sie kommen uns auch in den Stadten >besuchen<. Die putzigen Kerlchen konnen nichts dafur, denn wir sind an ihrer Verbreitung Schuld, da wir das okologische Gleichgewicht der Natur gestort haben. Doch was genau ist eigentlich Okologie jenseits von Okostrom und Okolabel? Hightech-Ameisen, hochintelligente Krahen und der Urzeit-Ginkgo Alles hangt mit allem zusamme ...
This book provides useful information for bioanalytical / analytical scientists, analysts, quality assurance managers, and all personnel in bioanalytical laboratories through all aspects of bioanalytical technical and regulatory perspectives within bioanalytical operations and processes. Readers learn how to develop and implement strategies for routine, non-routine, and standard bioanalytical methods and on the entire equipment hardware and soft ...
