Springer International Publishing AG The Physics of Living Systems
Book SynopsisIn this book, physics in its many aspects (thermodynamics, mechanics, electricity, fluid dynamics) is the guiding light on a fascinating journey through biological systems, providing ideas, examples and stimulating reflections for undergraduate physics, chemistry and life-science students, as well as for anyone interested in the frontiers between physics and biology.Rather than introducing a lot of new information, it encourages young students to use their recently acquired knowledge to start seeing the physics behind the biology. As an undergraduate textbook in introductory biophysics, it includes the necessary background and tools, including exercises and appendices, to form a progressive course. In this case, the chapters can be used in the order proposed, possibly split between two semesters. The book is also an absorbing read for researchers in the life sciences who wish to refresh or go deeper into the physics concepts gleaned in their early years of scientific training. Less physics-oriented readers might want to skip the first chapter, as well as all the "gray boxes" containing the more formal developments, and create their own á-la-carte menu of chapters.Trade Review“Cleri does a masterful job of integrating the history of science with some of the most recent results, in order to give the reader a comprehensive view of where our field has been, and where it now stands. … figures help to bring the material alive, and the detailed ‘grey boxes’ provide important context. … includes a number of challenging and subtle questions at the end of each chapter, guaranteed to make the student (and instructor) think deeply.” (Sonya Bahar, Journal of Biological Physics, 2016)Table of ContentsThermodynamics for Living Systems, Appendix, Problems, References.- Energy, Information and the Origins of Life, Problems, References.- Energy Production and Storage for Life, Problems, References.- Entropic Forces in Cells: Thermodynamics and Hydrodynamics, Problems, References.- Molecular Motors in the Cell, Appendix, Problems, References.- Bioelectricity, Hearts and Brains, Problems, References.- Elasticity and Mechanics of Cells and Tissues, Appendix, Problems, References.- Muscles as Engines, Problems, References.- Physical Variables in Living Systems, Problems, References.- Shapes of Nature, Problems, References.- The Hidden Mathematics of Living Systems, Problems, References.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Computed Tomography: From Photon Statistics to Modern Cone-Beam CT
Book SynopsisThis volume provides an overview of X-ray technology and the historical development of modern CT systems. The main focus of the book is a detailed derivation of reconstruction algorithms in 2D and modern 3D cone-beam systems. A thorough analysis of CT artifacts and a discussion of practical issues such as dose considerations give further insight into current CT systems. Although written mainly for graduate students, practitioners will also benefit from this book.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:"This volume … provide an overview of x-ray technology and reconstruction methods of modern CT scanning systems. … is aimed primarily at post-graduate biomedical engineering and medical physics students. … This is really a book for physicists and medical engineers … ." (Arpan Banerjee, RAD magazine, January, 2009)"This monograph on computed tomography (CT) covers the most recent advances in CT technology, image analysis, and reconstruction methods. It is a well-structured, information rich, and highly technical book. … This is definitely an advanced monograph in CT technology and image reconstruction that will better serve readers with a strong mathematical background. It also can serve as a specialized manual or reference for researchers and experts in the field of medical physics and biomedical engineering." (Dimitris N. Mihailidis, Doody’s Review Service, June, 2009)"This book provides an overview of x-ray technology, describes the historic developmental milestones of modern CT systems, and gives comprehensive insight into reconstruction methods. Its intended audience is graduate students in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, and medical physics. … I strongly recommend this book for students, scientists, and physicists who are interested in reconstruction theory and algorithms." (Tinsu Pan, The Journal of Nuclear Medicine, July, 2009)“The book is self-contained, covering the fundamentals of X-ray physics including X-ray production, interaction with matter and detection. … the diagrams in the book are of a very high quality and complement the text very well. Another feature of the book is its attention to implementation details. … This book is well written and will serve well as a good CT reference or textbook. The author has succeeded in his aim of presenting both the physics and mathematics behind CT in an accessible way.” (Peter R. T. Munro, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 51 (6), 2010)Table of ContentsFundamentals of X-ray Physics.- Milestones of Computed Tomography.- Fundamentals of Signal Processing.- Two-Dimensional Fourier-Based Reconstruction Methods.- Algebraic and Statistical Reconstruction Methods.- Technical Implementation.- Three-Dimensional Fourier-Based Reconstruction Methods.- Image Quality and Artifacts.- Practical Aspects of Computed Tomography.- Dose.

Springer Viruses in all Dimensions: How an Information Code Controls Viruses, Software and Microorganisms
Book SynopsisMicroorganisms, viruses, and computer programs encode all the information necessary to reproduce and spread themselves. Yet these mechanisms are amazingly similar in the animate world, in the world of viruses, and even in the world of technical systems. The book shows how great the parallels are between these various animate and inanimate replicating systems and what they are based on.The excursion also leads into the fascinating world of genetics, to the question of what defines life and into the programming of software that multiplies itself independently. Finally, the question is derived whether and to what extent such self-replicating technical systems can become as dangerous as infectious viruses in triggering pandemics, such as the Corona pandemic in 2020.Table of ContentsViruses, microorganisms and molecular genetics.- What is life?.-Basic concepts of molecular genetics.- Viruses and early genetics.- Algorithms and self-replicating computer programs.- What is information?.- Coding of information in technology and biology.- Coevolution of life and technology.
