1. Modeling of Physical Systems

   An introduction to nonlinear and continuous systems using bond graph methodology, this textbook gives readers the foundations they need to apply physical system models in practice Giving an integrated and uniform approach to system modeling, analysis and control, this book uses realistic examples to link empirical, analytical and numerical approaches. This introduction gives readers the essential foundations towards more advanced and practical topics in systems engineering. Rather than using only a linear modeling methodology, this book also uses nonlinear modeling approaches. This is a very useful aspect of the book, since engineers are often faced with modeling nonlinear physical systems. The authors approach the topic using bond graph methodology, a well known and powerful approach for the modeling and analysis of multi-energy domain systems at the physical level. With a strong focus on the fundamentals, the authors ensure that the various modeling approaches available are outlined, always with implementation in mind. Beginning by covering core topics which engineering students will have been exposed to in their first two years of study, the next sections introduce systematic modeling development using a bond graph approach followed by analysis. The later chapters expand on the reader's foundational understanding of systems, helping to begin dealing with more complex phenomena. This includes making decisions about what to model and how much complexity is needed for a particular problem. * Includes tables summarizing fundamental modeling elements and principles, sets of problems and case studies of real-world applications * Emphasizes simulation throughout the book as a means to enable reader understanding * Topics introduced include: mechanical, electrical, thermal, fluid, magnetic and chemical systems * Gives insight into controls problems by building a better understanding of the physical system and developing tools and methods that enable users to modify models [656 Pages, Hardcover] Read More...

5. Soft Materials-Based Biosensing Medical Applications

   The book offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary overview of how innovative soft materials are revolutionizing biosensing technologies, making it an essential read for anyone interested in cutting-edge advancements in biomedical research and healthcare. Soft materials include granular materials, foams, gels, polymers, surfactants, functional organics, and biological molecules. These structures can be altered by thermal or mechanical stress due to their ability to self-organize into mesoscopic physical structures. They are becoming increasingly significant as functional materials for broader applications because of their rich surface chemistry and versatile functions. A biosensor is an analytical tool for chemical compound detection that combines a biological element with a physicochemical detector. Sensitive biological components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, tissue, bacteria, and enzymes, are collected from a biomimetic element that interacts and binds with the analyte under investigation. In biosensors, soft matter may function as both a sensing and transducing component. The interplay of soft matter with biomolecular analytes results in cell signaling pathways, diagnostic tests for applications in low-resource environments, prospective drug development, molecular biodetection, chemical sensors, and biological sensors. Understanding these biomolecular interactions in the context of acute illnesses is critical for biomedical research and healthcare. This has fueled efforts to create a biosensor that is effective, low-cost, and label-free. Several approaches using soft materials to functionalize and tailor structures have greatly advanced science, including chemistry, physics, pharmaceutical science, materials science, and engineering. Soft Materials-Based Biosensing Medical Applications summarizes recent advances in soft materials with unique physicochemical properties that synergistically promote biosensing systems. Audience The book will be read by researchers, materials scientists, electronic and AI engineers, as well as pharmaceutical and biomedical professionals interested in the uses of biosensing.
