As technological advancements widen the scope ofapplications for biomicroelectromechanical systems(BioMEMS or biomicrosystems), the field continues tohave an impact on many aspects of life science oper-ations and functionalities. Because BioMEMS researchand development require the input of experts whouse different technical languages and come fromvarying disciplines and backgrounds, scientists andstudents can avoid potential difficulties in communi-cation and understanding only if they possess a skillset and understanding that enables them to work atthe interface of engineering and biosciences.

Keeping this duality in mind throughout, BioMEMS:Science and Engineering Perspectives supports andexpedites the multidisciplinary learning involved inthe development of biomicrosystems. Divided intonine chapters, it starts with a balanced introduction ofbiological, engineering, application, and commercial-ization aspects of the field. With a focus on moleculesof biological interest, the book explores the buildingblocks of cells and viruses, as well as molecules thatform the self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), linkers,and hydrogels used for making different surfaces bio-compatible through functionalization.

The book also discusses:

• Different materials and platforms used to devel-op biomicrosystems

• Various biological entities and pathogens (inascending order of complexity)

• The multidisciplinary aspects of engineeringbioactive surfaces

• Engineering perspectives, including methods ofmanufacturing bioactive surfaces and devices

• Microfluidics modeling and experimentation

• Device level implementation of BioMEMS con-cepts for different applications

Because BioMEMS is an application-driven field, thebook also highlights the concepts of lab-on-a-chip(LOC) and micro total analysis system (µTAS), alongwith their pertinence to the emerging point-of-care(POC) and point-of-need (PON) applications.

BiotechnologyOperationsPrinciples andPracticesMichael J. RoyUniversity of Wisconsin-Madison,USA

Because of rapid developments in the biotechnologyindustry—and the wide range of disciplines that con-tribute to its collective growth—there is a heightenedneed to more carefully plan and fully integrate biotechdevelopment projects. Despite the wealth of opera-tions experience and associated literature available, nosingle book has yet offered a comprehensive, practicalguide to fundamentals.

Filling the void, Biotechnology Operations:Principles and Practices reflects this integrative phi-losophy, serving as a practical guide for students, pro-fessionals, or anyone else with interests in the biotechindustry. Although many books emphasize specifictechnical aspects of biotech, this is perhaps the first tointegrate essential concepts of product developmentand scientific and management skills with the sevenfunctional areas of biotechnology.

A practical roadmap to optimizing biotechnologyoperations, this reference illustrates how to use specif-ic product planning, design, and project manage-ment processes to seamlessly merge plans and effortsin the key functional areas. Applying lessons learnedthroughout the nascent history of biotech, authorMichael Roy highlights developmental principles thatcould bring future products to market more safely andefficiently. Drawing from his experiences working inindustry and teaching a graduate course at theUniversity of Wisconsin, this hotly anticipated bookclarifies basic methodologies and practices to helpreduce risks and resolve problems as future techno-logical discoveries are developed into tangible prod-ucts.

Solutions manual available with qualifying courseadoption

The focus of Biotechnology Fundamentals is to edu-cate readers on both classical and modern aspects ofbiotechnology and to expose them to a range of top-ics, from basic information to complex technicalities.Other books cover subjects individually, but this textoffers a rare topical combination of coverage, usingnumerous helpful illustrations to explore the informa-tion that students and researchers need to intelligent-ly shape their careers.

Keeping pace with the rapid advancementof the field, topics covered include:

• How biotechnology products are produced

• Differences between scientific research conducted in universities and industry

• Which areas of biotechnology offer the best and most challenging career opportunities

• Key laboratory techniques and protocolsemployed in the field

The contents of this book are derived from discussionsbetween teachers and undergraduate students anddesigned to address the concepts and methodsthought useful by both sides. Starting with the funda-mentals of biotechnology, coverage includes defini-tions, historical perspectives, timelines, and major dis-coveries, in addition to products, research and devel-opment, career prospects, ethical issues, and futuretrends.

The author explains that even before it had been clas-sified as its own field, biotechnology was alreadybeing applied in plant breeding, in vitro fertilization,alcohol fermentation, and other areas. He then delvesinto new developments in areas including stem cellresearch, cloning, biofuels, transgenic plants, geneti-cally modified food/crops, pharmacogenomics, andnanobiotechnology. Incorporating extensive peda-gogy into the content, this book provides plenty ofexamples, end-of-chapter problems, case studies, andlab tutorials to help reinforce understanding.

Emphasizing a practical approach for engineers and sci-entists, A First Course in Differential Equations,Modeling, and Simulation avoids overly theoreticalexplanations and shows readers how differential equa-tions are derived by applying basic physical principlesand experimental observations to engineering systems.This textbook also covers classical methods for obtainingthe analytical solution of differential equations andLaplace transforms. In addition, the authors discuss howthese equations describe mathematical systems andhow to use software to solve sets of equations in whichanalytical solutions cannot be determined. Numericalvalues are provided in all examples and problems.

Features

• Teaches how to model engineering systems

• Reviews the necessary physics material

• Explores how to obtain the analytical solution ofdifferential equations using actual physical sys-tems

• Discusses how the roots of the characteristicequation provide the qualitative nature of theresponse of any systems
