{"product_id":"biomedical-engineering-principles-9781138073241","title":"Biomedical Engineering Principles","description":"\u003cp\u003eCurrent demand in biomedical sciences emphasizes the understanding of basic mechanisms and problem solving rather than rigid empiricism and factual recall. Knowledge of the basic laws of mass and momentum transport as well as model development and validation, biomedical signal processing, biomechanics, and capstone design have indispensable roles in the engineering analysis of physiological processes. To this end, an introductory, multidisciplinary text is a must to provide the necessary foundation for beginning biomedical students.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAssuming no more than a passing acquaintance with molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, and signal processing, \u003cstrong\u003eBiomedical Engineering Principles, Second Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e provides just such a solid, accessible grounding to this rapidly advancing field. Acknowledging the vast range of backgrounds and prior education from which the biomedical field draws, the organization of this book lends itself to a tailored course specific to the experience and interests of the student.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDivided into four sections, the book begins with systems physiology, transport processes, cell physiology, and the cardiovascular system. Part I covers systems analysis, biological data, and modeling and simulation in experimental design, applying concepts of diffusion, and facilitated and active transport. Part II presents biomedical signal processing, reviewing frequency, periodic functions, and Fourier series as well as signal acquisition and processing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III presents the practical applications of biomechanics, focusing on the mechanical and structural properties of bone, musculoskeletal, and connective tissue with respect to joint range, load bearing capacity, and electrical stimulation. The final part highlights capstone design, discussing design perspectives for living and nonliving systems, the role of the FDA, and the project timeline from inception to proof of concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting across many disciplines, \u003cstrong\u003eBiomedical Engineering Principles, Second Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e offers illustrative examples as well as problems and discussion questions designed specifically for this book to provide a readily accessible, widely applicable introductory text. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the Editors: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eARTHUR B.
