Ripped from Today's Headlines, Here Are Six Important Titles Focusing on the Future of Medical Technology This series of books highlights current and future trends in advancing medical technology, from the use of new materials for artificial organs to the genetic engineering of disease-free human beings. New diagnostic imaging systems have made it much easier for doctors to determine the nature of injuries, and new surgical tools mean safer operations and shorter stays in the hospital. Future medicine will likely astound us all. This book tells the story of the breakthroughs in working with embryonic stem cells and how this may help us grow new tissues to repair injuries. Scientists and medical researchers hope to induce stem cells to become nerve and muscle cells, which will then replace nonfunctioning cells and eliminate many common disabilities.
Experiments in Plant Tissue Culture by John H. Dodds, ISBN 0521478928
In this third edition the authors have written a guide to the essentials of plant tissue culture. The book takes the reader through a graded series of experimental protocols and provides an introductory review of each topic. There are discussions of aseptic techniques, and nutritional components of media. Subsequent chapters cover such topics as callus formation, organogenesis, xylem cell differentiation, root cultures, cell suspensions, micropropagation by buds, somatic embryogenesis, protoplast culture and fusion, secondary metabolite production, and quantitation of procedures. A glossary, commercial sources of supplies, and the formulations of culture media are also included. This new edition has been completely revised and updated. The organization has been improved, and new illustrations have been added, together with new experiments on such topics as potato callus formation, and embryo culture. This book will be useful to graduate students and professionals in plant science, forestry,...

Fundamentals of Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation: 2g/2.5g/3g... Evolution to 4g
With the complexity of the cellular networks increasing day by day, a deeper understanding of the design and performance of end-to-end cellular networks is required. Moreover, all the types of networks from 2G-2.5G-3G seem to co-exist. "Fundamentals of Cellular Network Planning and Optimisation covers end-to-end network planning and optimisation aspects from second generation GSM to third generation WCDMA networks including GPRS and EDGE networks. All the sub-systems of the network i.e. radio network, transmission network and core network have been covered with focus on both on practical and theoretical issues. By bringing all these concepts under one cover, this books becomes an essential reading for the network design engineers working either with cellular service vendors or operators, experts/scientists working on end-to-end issues and undergraduate/post-graduate students.
Key Highlights of the book are: Distinctly divided into four parts with each part 2G (GSM), 2.5G (GPRS & EDGE),...
