Integrated Nano-Biomechanics provides an integrated look into the rapidly evolving field of nanobiomechanics. The book demystifies the processes in living organisms at the micro- and nano-scale through mechanics, using theoretical, computational and experimental means. The book develops the concept of integrating different technologies along the hierarchical structure of biological systems and clarifies biomechanical interactions among different levels for the analysis of multi-scale pathophysiological phenomena. With a focus on nano-scale processes and biomedical applications, it is shown how knowledge obtained can be utilized in a range of areas, including diagnosis and treatment of various human diseases and alternative energy production.

This book is based on collaboration of researchers from a unique combination of fields, including biomechanics, computational mechanics, GPU application, electron microscopy, biology of motile micro-organisms, entomological mechanics and clinical medicine. The book will be of great interest to scientists and researchers involved in disciplines, such as micro- and nano-engineering, bionanotechnology, biomedical engineering, micro- and nano-scale fluid-mechanics (such as in MEMS devices), nanomedicine and microbiology, as well as industries such as optical devices, computer simulation, plant based energy sources and clinical diagnosis of the gastric diseases.

Provides knowledge of integrated biomechanics, focusing on nano-scale, in this rapidly growing research field Explains how the different technologies can be integrated and applied in a variety of biomedical application fields, as well as for alternative energy sources Uses a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to provide a comprehensive coverage of nano-biomechanics

This proceedings volume details both current and future research and development initiatives in nano-biomedical engineering, arguably the most important technology of the world in the 21st century. It deals with the following four groups of nano-biomedical engineering: nano-biomechanics, nano-bioimaging, nano-biodevices, and nano-biointervention.Consisting of a compilation of studies conducted by group members of the Tohoku University Global Center of Excellence Program, with specially coordinated funding from the Japanese Government, the papers emphasize the integration of research and education collaboration between engineering and medicine, and showcase Japan's top-level research in the field of nano-biomedical engineering.Sample Chapter(s)

This book focuses on nano-biomedical engineering, the most important key technology in the world in the 21st century. It covers virtually everything within current and future research and the development of biomedical engineering. It follows four groups within the field, namely nano-biomechanics, nano-bioimaging, nano-biodevices, and nano-biointervention.

The term "computational biomechanics" describes the approach taken in a 3-year project promoted by the National Cardiovascular Center of Japan to integrate fluid and solid mechanics in studies of the heart and vascular system. The goal was to create a new, comprehensive methodology in cardiovascular research, including both radiological and electrophysiological studies to achieve the most comprehensive view. This book compiles reports of the work conducted by leading researchers in biomechanics using a full array of cutting-edge technology - from the supercomputer in the National Cardiovascular Center to individual PCs. The book stresses application rather than development of theory, thus appealing to a wide audience ranging from researchers without extensive backgrounds in computation, to graduate students and clinical practitioners. Enhanced with color illustrations, the book is a valuable resource in biomedical engineering.
