Originally developed for the author's course at Union College, this text is designed for life science students who need to understand the connections of fundamental physics to modern biology and medicine. Almost all areas of modern life sciences integrally involve physics in both experimental techniques and in basic understanding of structure and function. Physics of the Life Sciences is not a watered-down, algebra-based engineering physics book with sections on relevant biomedical topics added as an afterthought. This authoritative and engaging text, which is designed to be covered in a two-semester course, was written with a thoroughgoing commitment to the needs and interests of life science students. Although covering most of the standard topics in introductory physics in a more or less traditional sequence, the author gives added weight and space to concepts and applications of greater relevance to the life sciences. Students benefit from occasional sidebars using calculus to derive fundamental relations, but only algebra and trigonometry are used to explore the basic physical concepts in the main body of the text and to solve end-of-chapter problems.

This book collects the publications of Shinya lnoué, pioneering cell biophysicist and winner of the 2003 International Prize for Biology. The articles cover the discovery, and elucidate the behavior in living cells, of the dynamic molecular filaments which organize the cell and play a central role in cell division. Other articles report on the development of microscopes, especially those using polarized light and digital image enhancement, which make possible studies of the ever-changing molecular architecture directly in living cells. This book also contains many high quality photo-micrograph

The study of how fish make and respond to sound has important implications for communication, physiology, behavior, and commercial techniques. Fish Bioacoustics, a new definitive volume on fish auditory systems, will interest investigators in both basic research of fish bioacoustics as well as investigators in applied aspects of fisheries and resource management. Topics cover structure, physiology, localization, and acoustic behavior as well as more applied topics such as using sound to detect and locate fish. Contents: Introduction to Fish Bioacoustics Richard R. Fay, Arthur N. Popper, and Jacqueline F. Webb Hearing and Acoustic Behavior (Basic and Applied) Arthur N. Popper and Carl R. Schilt Structures and Functions of the Auditory Nervous System of Fishes Richard R. Fay and Peggy L. Edds-Walton Evolution of Peripheral Mechanisms for the Enhancement of Sound Reception Christopher B. Braun and Terry Grande Bioacoustics and the Lateral Line of Fishes Jacqueline F. Webb, John Montgomery, and Joachim Mogdans Orientation to Auditory and Lateral Line Stimuli Olav Sand and Horst Bleckmann Multipole Mechanisms for Directional Hearing in Fish Peter H. Rogers and David G. Zeddies Vocal-Acoustic Communication: From Neurons to Behavior Andrew H. Bass and Friedrich Ladich Active and Passive Acoustics to Locate and Study Fish David A. Mann, Anthony D. Hawkins, and J. Mike Jech About the editors: Jacqueline F. Webb is Professor of Biological Sciences, and Coordinator of the Marine Biology Program, at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston. Richard R. Fay is Director of the Parmly Hearing Institute and Professor of Psychology at Loyola University of Chicago. Arthur N. Popper is Professor in the Department of Biology and Co-Director of the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing at the University of Maryland, College Park. About the series: The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of synthetic reviews of fundamental topics dealing with auditory systems. Each volume is independent and authoritative; taken as a set, this series is the definitive resource in the field.

Con il secondo volume di Ingegneria Clinica, l’Autore intende fornire un panorama scientifico-didattico aggiornato dei principi fisici degli ultrasuoni, della tecnologia e degli aspetti realizzativi dell’ecotomografo. La pubblicazione si articola in 12 capitoli che descrivono gli argomenti di fisica di base, la tecnologia, e le modalità operative per una buona conoscenza del funzionamento degli ecotomografi e contiene più di 400 illustrazioni a colori originali, immagini tecniche e diagnostiche, fotografie e disegni illustrativi, molte delle quali costruite a partire da sperimentazioni condotte in laboratorio o da modelli utilizzati nel corso delle esperienze sulla formazione del fascio ultrasonoro. Frutto dell’esperienza didattica dell’Autore e della sua volontà di presentare un testo completo e rigoroso usando sempre un linguaggio chiaro e semplice, l’opera costituisce uno strumento indispensabile per gli studenti di corsi di laurea in ingegneria clinica e biomedica.
