Description Volume 1: io abrication aims to produce artificiall manu actured tissues and organs, potentiall revolutioni ing conventional paradigm o clinical practice in treating diseases and e tending the li e span and ualit o human beings. n this volume, we invite notable e perts in the field o bio abrication and biomanu acturing to summari e recent rapid progress in this field rom multi aceted aspects covering bio abrication techni ues and building materials such as sca old and living cells. Specificall , a ocus is placed on a variet o techni ues derived rom 3 bioprinting and bioassembl strategies, such as acoustic assembl and electro abrication. oreover, principles and strategies or choosing h drogels and pol mers or bio abrication are also heavil discussed. verall, this book creates a good opportunit or undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as bioengineers and medical researchers who wish to gain a undamental understanding o current status and uture trends in bio abrication and biomanu acturing.

Volume 2: n ertilit has become a significant clinical condition and about 5 couples cannot reproduce naturall . dvanced reproductive technologies ( s) are being developed to treat in ertilit . his handbook e plores significant development o s or ertilit testing, selection o sperm, ooc te and embr o, reproductive monitors, automation in embr olog , and ertilit preservation. his volume provides a comprehensive overview o the m riad o emerging technologies and s stems that are being utili ed or will be utili ed in near uture in reproductive clinics. verall this book creates a good opportunit or undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as scientists and medical researchers who wish to gain undamental understanding o current status and uture trends trends in ertilit reproductive medicine.

Volume 3: Healthcare industr has a notable paradigm transition rom centrali ed care to the point o care (P C). uring this metamorphosis, a number o new technologies and strategies have been adapted to the current practice, addressing the e isting challenges in the fields o medicine and biolog . ll the e orts aim to improve the clinical management and the e ectiveness and ualit o care. n particular, diagnostics has pivotal roles in guiding clinical management or the most e ective treatment to control and cure the disease. n contrast to the e isting diagnostic strategies emplo ing bulk si ed tools, e pensive in rastructure, laborious protocols, and length processing steps, the contribution o biosensors to current healthcare s stem, especiall to diagnostics, is paramount. he unprecedented and admirable characteristics o biosensing strategies have e panded our knowledge on medicine and biolog b harmoni ing materials science, chemistr , ph sics, and engineering. We believe that biosensors applied in disease diagnostics will not onl garner more a ention in clinical research to decipher disease biolog and mechanism, and also, stimulate innovative perspectives in artificial intelligence and internet o things ( o ) s nergisticall , thereb their more acile adaptation to dail use.

Description This volume presents a pedagogical review of the functional distribution of anomalous and nonergodic diffusion and its numerical simulations, starting from the studied stochastic processes to the deterministic partial differential equations governing the probability density function of the functionals. Since the remarkable theor o rownian motion was proposed b Einstein in 905, it had a sustained and broad impact on diverse fields, such as ph sics, chemistr , biolog , economics, and mathematics. he unctionals o rownian motion are later widel a ractive or their e tensive applications. t was Kac, who firstl reali ed the statistical properties o these unctionals can be studied b using e nman s path integrals. n recent decades, anomalous and nonergodic di usions which are non rownian become topical issues, such as ractional rownian motion, L v process, L v walk, among others. his volume e amines the statistical properties o the non rownian unctionals, derives the governing e uations o their distributions, and shows some algorithms or solving these e uations numericall .

Description Today’s physics has led to incredible advances in the technology we use in daily life — from cell phones and GPS systems to PET scans and more. Current theories in ph sics have been ama ingl e ective in practical terms. et all is ar rom well the two oundational concepts in ph sics uantum heor and General elativit are incompatible with each other, and observations o the universe show that our theories are incomplete at best.

While ph sicists have tried to paper over this impasse b inventing dark ma er and dark energ , the remain unobserved m steries. dding uel to the fire o current crises, artificial intelligence threatens to replace our most cherished theories and procedures with arcane algorithms. Worse et perhaps, the public understands ph sics poorl , either taking it or granted or earing and re ecting it completel .

Ph sicists dream o a new universal theor that will completel change how we see our world, much as Einstein did with relativit and ewton with gravit . Likewise, societ loves the romantic notion o a single genius heroicall creating a massive paradigm shi . Still, is this scenario likel toda Perhaps the ne t steps in ph sics will be incremental rather than gigantic.

In Physics in Crisis, runo ansouli uses simple language, insigh ul e amples, and his personal e perience as a working ph sicist to address these undamental uestions and re ect on how toda s crises in ph sics might be solved
