Microfluidic biochips have gained prominence due to their versatile applications to biochemistry and health-care domains such as point-of-care clinical diagnosis of tropical and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, toxicity analysis, and for the mitigation of the global HIV crisis, among others. Microfluidic Lab-on-Chips (LoCs) offer a convenient platform for emulating various fluidic operations in an automated fashion. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of fluidic operations, the outcome of biochemical experiments performed on-chip can be erroneous even if the chip is tested a priori and deemed to be defect-free. This book focuses on the issues encountered in reliable sample preparation with digital microfluidic biochips (DMFBs), particularly in an error-prone environment. It presents state-of-the-art error management techniques and underlying algorithmic challenges along with their comparative discussions.

Interdisciplinary in its coverage, this reference is written for practitioners and researchers in biochemical, biomedical, electrical, computer, and mechanical engineering, especially those involved in LOC or bio-MEMS design.

This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the17th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2015, heldin Kolkata, India, in November 2015.

The 24 revised full papers and 2 invited papers presentedwere carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The workshopprovides theoretical foundations and methods for solving problems from variousareas of human practice. In contrast to traditional approaches to imageanalysis which implement continuous models, float arithmetic and rounding,combinatorial image analysis features discrete modelsusing integer arithmetic.The developed algorithms are based on studying combinatorial properties ofclasses of digital images, and often appear to be more efficient and accuratethan those based on continuous models.

The book constitutes peer-reviewed proceedings of a workshop on Emerging Electronics Devices, Circuits, and Systems (EEDCS) held in conjunction with International Symposium on Devices, Circuits, and Systems (ISDCS 2022). The book focuses on the recent development in devices, circuits, and systems. It also discusses innovations, trends, practical challenges, and solutions adopted in device design, modeling, fabrication, characterization, and their circuit implementation with pertinent system applications. It will be useful for researchers, developers, engineers, academicians, and students.
