First demonstrated in 1928, color television remained little more than a novelty for decades as the industry struggled with the considerable technical, regulatory, commercial, and cultural complications posed by the medium. Only fully adopted by all three networks in the 1960s, color television was imagined as a new way of seeing that was distinct from both monochrome television and other forms of color media. It also inspired compelling popular, scientific, and industry conversations about the use and meaning of color and its effects on emotions, vision, and desire. In Bright Signals Susan Murray traces these wide-ranging debates within and beyond the television industry, positioning the story of color television, which was replete with false starts, failure, and ingenuity, as central to the broader history of twentieth-century visual culture. In so doing, she shows how color television disrupted and reframed the very idea of television while it simultaneously revealed the tensions about technology's relationship to consumerism, human sight, and the natural world.
This book describes the continuing development of inexpensive, portable flow cytometers through incorporation of microfluidic technologies and small optical components. The underlying microfluidic theories essential for microflow cytometry isdiscussed in detail, as well as advances that are representative of the current state-of-the-art. Design and fabrication strategies for these innovative component technologies will be subsequently presented by numerous research groups leading the field. Integration of the components into functional prototype devices for analysis and manipulation of particles and cells are reviewed. Multiple currently available commercial systems are examined to highlight both strengths and areas for improvement.
The new edition of this comprehensive guide has been fully revised to provide clinicians with the latest advances in symptom oriented pain management. Divided into fifteen sections, the book begins with an overview of acute and chronic pain, clinical examination and evaluation, and imaging modalities. The following chapters discuss different types of pain including neck pain, low back pain, cancer pain, neuropathic pain, scar pain, and more. Techniques for accurate diagnosis of aetiology are explained in depth. The final sections describe pain management techniques including physiotherapy, psychotherapy, and allied therapy. A complete section is dedicated to challenging cases such as phantom limb pain and restless leg syndrome. Edited by internationally recognised experts in the field, this second edition is highly illustrated with clinical photographs and diagrams. Previous edition (9789350257975) published in 2012.

A Practical Approach to Transesophageal Echocardiography, Third Edition, offers a concise and intensely illustrated guide to the current practice of perioperative TEE. Anesthesiology and cardiology attendings, fellows, and residents will find this an indispensible resource to the physics, examination protocols, and practice pitfalls of TEE. Designed in a portable format, A Practical Approach to Transesophageal Echocardiography, Third Edition, serves as a comprehensive and current reference easily carried into the operating room and clinical environments.
In recent years, there have been dramatic technical advances in diagnostic ultrasound. The advent of color Doppler, power Doppler and, more recently, three-dimensional imaging has very dramatically developed into a revolution of new ways of doing and seeing things. These developments now occur at such a rapid pace that unless you keep up with the developing technology, you will inevitably and inexorably fall behind. An Atlas of Transvaginal Color Doppler, Second Edition represents the current knowledge on one of the newest achievements in obstetric and gynecologic ultrasonography, transvaginal color Doppler. This second edition completely updates Professor Asim Kurjak's world-renowned atlas of transvaginal color Doppler assessment in pregnancy, infertility, all forms of diseases and disorders of the female reproductive system, pelvis and urinary tract. Each chapter from the last edition has been rewritten and new chapters have been added to expand coverage into such areas as: " the assessment of intervillous circulation " studies of the yolk sac " color Doppler studies of subchorionic hematomas in early pregnancy " congenital abnormalities " the postmenopausal pelvis and pelvic pain " evaluation of the lower urinary tract and transvaginal three-dimensional power Doppler in gynecology and obstetrics The 29 chapters, 1014 illustrations, and the citation of over 1300 references illustrate the impressive growth in knowledge and expertise in the field of transvaginal color Doppler. An Atlas of Transvaginal Color Doppler, Second Edition contains a thorough review of transvaginal color Doppler and emphasizes new and emerging methods and techniques.
th On behalf of the steering and organizing committees I would like to welcome you to sunny Miami Florida for the 25 Sou- ern Biomedical Engineering Conference. This year we are excited to have visitors from all over North America, South American, Europe and Asia to share exciting developments in all areas of Biomedical Engineering. The main objective of this conference is to bring together students, researchers and clinicians in Biomedical Engineering to disseminate technical information in this rapidly growing field, and provide a forum consisting of established as well as new and future researchers in this exciting engineering field. This year’s meeting features more than 140 high quality papers, many by students, for oral presentations and publication in the conference proceedings. The conference owes its success to the dedicated work of the keynote speakers, conference chairs, authors, participants, students, organizers, and the College of Engineering and Computing webmaster. We wish to especially acknowledge the work of the peer reviewers, program committee, staff of the BME Department, and the student organizing committee. We also wish to acknowledge the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation and the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering, and Simpleware, Ltd. We hope that you enjoy your experience, make new collaborations and lasting friendships.
Chromosome Painting is the most modern and novel technique for directly identifying several gene sequences simultaneously in the chromosome, with the aid of specific probes in molecular hybridization. Its resolution ranges from single copy to entire genome sequences. It is now applied in plant, animal, and human systems, in gene mapping, identification of genetic disorders, evolutionary studies, and gene transfer experiments. This treatise is the first of its kind to cover the technique with all its modifications and applications. It is designed for regular use by postgraduate students and research workers in cell and molecular genetics, plant and animal sciences, agriculture, medicine, and phylogenetic studies.
