Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Despite enormous advances made in the development of external effector prosthetics over the last quarter century significant questions remain especially those concerning signal degradation that occurs with chronically implanted neuroelectrodes. Offering contributions from pioneering researchers in neuroprosthetics and tissue repair Indwelling Neural Implants: Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment examines many of these challenges paying particular attention to how the healing of tissues surrounding an implant can impact the intended use of a device. The contributions are divided into four sections · Part one examines wound healing from the initial insertion trauma through the inflammatory and repair process explaining how the action of healing varies throughout different areas of the body. · Part two considers various performance issues specific to particular implant components including those that arise from the chemical mechanical thermal and electrical impact on surrounding tissues. It discusses challenges that result from chronic tissue stimulation and heat effects that occur with on-chip and telemetric processing. · Part three presents both in vitro and in vivo approaches to assessing wound healing response to materials. It includes the contribution of the developer of a chronic hollow fiber membrane implant who explains how an in vivo model is used to assess molecular transport in brain tissue surrounding the implant. · The final section evaluates molecular and materials strategies for intervening in CNS wound repair and enhancing the electrical communication between the electrode surface and the surrounding tissue. It also presents novel approaches to nerve regeneration and repair. | Indwelling Neural Implants Strategies for Contending with the In Vivo Environment

Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

Learning from Disease in Pets: A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery is the first encompassing reference guide for veterinarians researchers and physicians on conducting studies using spontaneous models of disease in animals. The study of naturally occurring disease in (pet) animals can help model our understanding of the biology prevention and therapy of human and animal diseases. Studies of pet dogs for instance can aid treatment of complex medical problems such as cancer orthopedic cardiopulmonary and neuro-inflammatory diseases and zoonotic infections. Each chapter within this novel cross-species approach is contributed by a leader or leaders in their field of research. Using clinical trials to learn how pets with real diseases respond to therapy can lead to breakthroughs in human medicine as well as benefiting pets suffering from otherwise debilitating illness. Despite similarities of diseases across species there are very few spontaneous models of disease used in research compared with models where disease is induced in healthy laboratory animals. Many medical researchers and veterinarians have a multitude of questions regarding how to use naturally occurring diseases in pets for the discovery of treatments and diagnostics: this book will demonstrate how to safely make this happen. This book encourages veterinarians to build on and disseminate existing findings for the wider benefit of pets and humans. Many pets suffering from incurable illnesses may benefit from clinical trials; the book includes a section on the imperative communication styles necessary within the research environment and with clients a compelling discussion on the ethics of using pets in veterinary clinical research comprehensive tables of diseases that spontaneously occur in animals and humans the regulatory requirements necessary to move therapy from benchside research to patient bedside as well as intricate details on how to design a robust clinical study. | Learning from Disease in Pets A ‘One Health’ Model for Discovery

FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit

FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit

High strength fibre composites (FRPs) have been used with civil structures since the 1980s mostly in the repair strengthening and retrofitting of concrete structures. This has attracted considerable research and the industry has expanded exponentially in the last decade. Design guidelines have been developed by professional organizations in a number of countries including USA Japan Europe and China but until now designers have had no publication which provides practical guidance or accessible coverage of the fundamentals. This book fills this void. It deals with the fundamentals of composites and basic design principles and provides step-by-step guidelines for design. Its main theme is the repair and retrofit of un-reinforced reinforced and prestressed concrete structures using carbon glass and other high strength fibre composites. In the case of beams the focus is on their strengthening for flexure and shear or their stiffening. The main interest with columns is the improvement of their ductility; and both strengthening and ductility improvement of un-reinforced structures are covered. Methods for evaluating the strengthened structures are presented. Step by step procedures are set out including flow charts for the various structural components and design examples and practice problems are used to illustrate. As infrastructure ages worldwide and its demolition and replacement becomes less of an option the need for repair and retrofit of existing facilities will increase. Besides its audience of design professionals this book suits graduate and advanced undergraduate students. | FRP Composites for Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete Structures A Guide to Fundamentals and Design for Repair and Retrofit

Reuniting Economy and Ecology in Sustainable Development

Reuniting Economy and Ecology in Sustainable Development

Reuniting Economy and Ecology in Sustainable Development is part of a series on the various aspects of sustainable development where community focuses on the primacy and quality of relationships among people sharing a particular place and between people and their environment. Development means personal and social transformation to a higher level of consciousness and a greater responsibility to be one anothers keepers and sustainability is the act whereby one generation saves options by passing them to the next generation which saves options by passing them onto the next and so on. The vision put forth in this book is one of melding ecology and economy into a unifying concept of social-environmental sustainability. The author suggests that dividing ecology and economy conceptually will destroy society as we know it. Our task as adults is to repair the environment for the children who must inherit it. The link between economics and ecology and the immense potential of that connection to influence the process of change within communities is the focus of this book. The authors theorize that in a healthy future-oriented community there is a dominant role for sustainability. Each of these four concepts - economics ecology community and sustainability - are intimidating on their own. There has been volumes written on each topic separately but very little written on how they are connected in relation to the environment. Reuniting Economy and Ecology makes those connections and provides a base for finding solutions to achieving sustainable communities.
