The Definitive Guide to Chemical Reaction Engineering Problem-Solving -- With Updated Content and More Active Learning

For decades, H. Scott Fogler's Elements of Chemical Reaction Engineering has been the world's dominant chemical reaction engineering text. This Sixth Edition and integrated Web site deliver a more compelling active learning experience than ever before. Using sliders and interactive examples in Wolfram, Python, POLYMATH, and MATLAB, students can explore reactions and reactors by running realistic simulation experiments.

Writing for today's students, Fogler provides instant access to information, avoids extraneous details, and presents novel problems linking theory to practice. Faculty can flexibly define their courses, drawing on updated chapters, problems, and extensive Professional Reference Shelf web content at diverse levels of difficulty.

The book thoroughly prepares undergraduates to apply chemical reaction kinetics and physics to the design of chemical reactors. And four advanced chapters address graduate-level topics, including effectiveness factors. To support the field's growing emphasis on chemical reactor safety, each chapter now ends with a practical safety lesson.

För första gången i mänsklighetens historia kan vi nu gå in i våra gener och ändra i deras sammansättning. För sin upptäckt av gensaxen CRISPR belönades biokemiforskaren Jennifer Doudna med Nobelpriset. Genredigeringen innebär stora möjligheter för oss att kunna bota svåra sjukdomar, bekämpa pandemier och få friskare barn. Men samtidigt måste vi sätta gränser för hur långt vi kan gå med denna revolutionerande teknik. Hamnar tekniken i fel händer och utnyttjas för tvivelaktiga syften kan det få förödande konsekvenser för oss alla.

I Livets kod berättar den internationellt bästsäljande biografen Walter Isaacson om hur vårt liv förändras i grunden genom tillgången till denna revolutionerande teknik – och om den kvinna som knäckte koden.

THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MODELING AND SIMULATING HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY

Written by a coinventor of the Human Patient Simulator (HPS) and past president of the Society in Europe for Simulation Applied to Medicine (SESAM), Modeling and Simulation in Biomedical Engineering: Applications in Cardiorespiratory Physiology is a compact and consistent introduction to this expanding field. The book divides the modeling and simulation process into five manageable steps--requirements, conceptual models, mathematical models, software implementation, and simulation results and validation.

A framework and a basic set of deterministic, continuous-time models for the cardiorespiratory system are provided. This timely resource also addresses advanced topics, including sensitivity analysis and setting model requirements as part of an encompassing simulation and simulator design. Practical examples provide you with the skills to evaluate and adapt existing physiologic models or create new ones for specific applications.

Coverage includes:

“Uniquely qualified to author such a text, van Meurs is one of the original developers of CAE Healthcare’s Human Patient Simulator (HPS). …His understanding of mathematics, human physiology, pharmacology, control systems, and systems engineering, combined with a conversational writing style, results in a readable text. …The ample illustrations and tables also break up the text and make reading the book easier on the eyes. …concise yet in conversational style, with real-life examples. This book is highly recommended for coursework in physiologic modeling and for all who are interested in simulator design and development. The book pulls all these topics together under one cover and is an important contribution to biomedical literature.” --IEEE Pulse, January 2014

“This book is written by a professional engineer who is unique in that he seems to have a natural understanding of 3 key areas as follows: the hardware involved with simulators, human physiology, and mathematical modeling. Willem van Meurs is one of the inventors of the model-driven human patient simulator (HPS), and so, he is very qualified to write this book. The book is written in a clear way, using the first person throughout, in a conversational manner, with a style that involves posing questions and answering them in subsequent text. …The book starts with a very useful introduction and background chapter, setting out the scene for the rest of the book. …I have used his book in enhancing my own talks and understanding human patient simulation and can strongly recommend it.” --Simulation in Healthcare December, 2012 Reviewed by Mark A. Tooley, Ph.D., Department of Medical Physics and Bioengineering, Royal United Hospital, Combe Park, Bath, UK.
