Alit P. Yoganathan Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA
Stanley E. Rittgers University of Akron, Ohio, USA
Heart failure and neurological deficits due to arterial diseases are the greatest causes of death in developed countries. Hence, fluid mechanical effects on the development and progression of the disease are of fundamental importance to researchers. In addition, the design and development of circulatory implants such as artificial heart valves, ventricular assist devices, and vascular grafts require knowledge of blood flow past these devices. Examining the biodynamics of heart disease, this thoroughly updated edition of Biofluid Mechanics: The Human Circulation reviews the fluid mechanical analysis of blood flow in human arterial circulation. It focuses on the development and progression of arterial disease as well as the tools and technology at the cutting edge of treatment. Applying the theory of fluid mechanical principles in human circulation, the text evaluates the design and development of circulatory implants such as artificial heart valves, ventricular assist devices, and vascular grafts.

Introduction to Complexity and Complex Systems Robert B. Northrop University of Connecticut, Storrs, USA
The boundaries between simple and complicated, and complicated and complex system designations are fuzzy and debatable, even using quantitative measures of complexity. However, biomedical engineers, biologists, physiologists, economists, politicians, stock market speculators, and politicians all encounter complex systems. Their success depends on their ability to successfully interact with and manage a variety of complex systems. In order not to be blindsided by unexpected results, they need a systematic, comprehensive way of analyzing, modeling, and simulating complex systems to predict non-anticipated outcomes. In its engaging first chapters, Introduction to Complexity and Complex Systems introduces Campbell's Law, the Law of Unintended Consequences, and the mathematics necessary for conversations in complex systems. Subsequent chapters illustrate concepts via commonly studied biological mechanisms. The final chapters focus on higher-level complexity problems and introduce complexity in economic systems. This text is an ideal introduction to complex systems for advanced students studying biomedical engineering, biophysics, and physiology.
Pedagogical Features: • Describes the characteristics of certain complex living systems and provides dynamic models • Offers present-day examples to place the material in context • Includes homework problems for enhanced comprehension

Bio MEMS, NEMS & Materials
BioMEMS Science and Engineering Perspectives Simona Badilescu and Muthukumaran Packirisamy Concordia University, Montreal, Canada
As technological advancements widen the scope of applications for biomicroelectromechanical systems (BioMEMS or biomicrosystems), the field continues to impact many aspects of life science operations and functionalities. Because BioMEMS research and development require the input of experts who use different technical languages and come from varying disciplines and backgrounds, scientists and students can avoid potential difficulties in communication and understanding only if they possess a skill set and understanding that enables them to work at the interface of engineering and biosciences. Keeping this duality in mind throughout, BioMEMS: Science and Engineering Perspectives supports and expedites the multidisciplinary learning involved in the development of biomicrosystems. Divided into nine chapters, it starts with a balanced introduction of biological, engineering, application, and commercialization aspects of the field. With a focus on molecules of biological interest, the book explores the building blocks of cells and viruses, as well as molecules that form the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), linkers, and hydrogels used for making different surfaces biocompatible through functionalization. Because BioMEMS is an application-driven field, the book also highlights the concepts of lab-on-achip (LOC) and micro total analysis system ( TAS), along with their pertinence to emerging point-ofcare (POC) and point-of-need (PON) applications.
Pedagogical Features: • Provides a concise overview of BioMEMS principles • Incorporates modern applications • Covers fabrication techniques • Includes examples and problems in each chapter • Offers references, review questions, and case studies to aid comprehension Solutions manual available with qualifying course adoption

General Textbooks A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation Carlos A. Smith and Scott W. Campbell
Technical Writing A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists Phillip A. Laplante
University of South Florida, Tampa, USA
The Pennsylvania State University, Malvern, USA
Emphasizing a practical approach, A First Course in Differential Equations, Modeling, and Simulation avoids overly theoretical explanations and shows students how differential equations arise from applying basic physical principles and experimental observations to engineering systems. It also covers classical methods for obtaining the analytical solution of differential equations and Laplace transforms. The authors discuss how these equations describe mathematical systems and how to use software to solve sets of equations where analytical solutions cannot be obtained. Using simple physics, the book introduces dynamic modeling, the definition of differential equations, two simple methods for obtaining their analytical solution, and a method to follow when modeling. It then presents classical methods for solving differential equations, discusses the engineering importance of the roots of a characteristic equation, and describes the response of first- and second-order differential equations. A study of the Laplace transform method follows with explanations of the transfer function and the power of Laplace transform for obtaining the analytical solution of coupled differential equations.
Written by a renowned engineer and widely published technical author, Technical Writing A Practical Guide for Engineers and Scientists teaches students how to write, edit, and publish materials of a technical nature, including books, articles, reports, and electronic media. Drawing on his own work, the author presents many first-hand examples of writing, editing, and publishing technical materials. These examples illustrate how a publication originated, challenges writers encounter, and various solutions. July 2011, 250 pp. Soft Cover, ISBN: 978-1-4398-2085-8, £25.99
