Engineering the Knee Meniscus (Synthesis Lectures on Tissue Engineering) free download

The inspiration for writing this monograph came from our desire to highlight important aspects of the knee meniscus as they relate to tissue engineering and outline historical and current advances in the field. Our goal was to create a cohesive, logical, and graphic work that guides the reader through a study of the meniscus through the eyes of a tissue engineer. We hope that undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers alike will find this information useful as an introductory guide to engineering the meniscus or a reference for future engineering attempts. The first half of the monograph focuses on native characteristics of the knee meniscus including its biochemical makeup, mechanical properties, and the limited ability of the tissue to self-repair. The second half reviews tissue engineering attempts aimed at recreating meniscus biochemistry and mechanics to repair damaged tissue, and highlights important considerations for meniscus tissue engineers. Throughout the chapters particular emphasis is placed on the functional aspect of the meniscus and its importance in a tissue engineered construct. We hope that the overall outline of this book allows the reader to understand the complexity of the knee meniscus and the need for engineered meniscus tissue, while providing enough background to evaluate recent engineering attempts. By documenting the field of meniscus engineering in this way, we aim to educate and inspire innovation from current and future researchers.

Fuzzy Applications in Industrial Engineering Industrial Engineering (IE) is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems of people, material, equipment, and energy. Industrial engineers face many problems with incomplete and vague information in these systems since the characteristics of these problems often require this kind of information. Fuzzy sets approaches are usually most appropriate when human evaluations and the modeling of human knowledge are needed. IE brings a significant number of applications of fuzzy set theory. http://uploadbox.com/files/611e98090e http://rapidshare.com/files/208666299/FuzAppIndEng06.rar Handbook of Industrial Engineering: Technology and Operations Management The Handbook of Industrial Engineering, Third Edition contains a vast array of timely and useful methodologies for achieving increased productivity, quality, and competitiveness and improving the quality of working life in manufacturing and service industries.
