A novel set of applications emerges by integrating photons and quantum information with the nanoworld. The current Special Issue "Dynamics and Applications of Photon Nanostructured Systems" is shaped by innovative ideas with strong, interdisciplinary, fundamental, theoretical, and applied characteristics, and the content covers a wide range of thematic areas in physics, chemistry and engineering. The book comprises twelve original studies and three review articles addressing novel nanodevices, functionalities, nanothermodynamics, chaos, non-linear dynamics, nanoresonators and applications based on photonic nanostructured devices and photon-nanomaterial interactions.Technology: general issuesbicsscadiabatic conditionAFMbiosensorboron monoelement nanowire and nanotubeborophenecharge carrierschemically amplified resistscoulomb explosioncoupled microdiskdetection limitsdirect laser writingelectric dipole interactionselectron-induced chemistryenergy deviceentropyEUV lithographyfigure of meritguided mode resonanceHamiltonianhigh-responsivityhydrogen storageinorganic boron-based nanostructuresinorganic resistsinterface/interface engineeringlaserlaser induced subwavelength ripplesmain chain scission resistsmetal gratingmicrodiskmicrodisk lasermicrospheren/anano-scale fin isolationnanocavitiesnanoholenanoindentationnanolasernanomechanical resonatornanoparticlenanophotonicsnanostructuresnanotechnologynanothermodynamicsnanowirenon-thermal equilibriumnuclear fusionoptical pillar gratingsoptoelectronic propertiesoptofluidicphotodetectorsphotonic crystalsphotonic nanoscienceporous Si-SiO2probability densityquantum solutionrandom walkrare-earth boride (REB6)responsivitysensingsensorspectral modulationstainless steelsubwavelength-scale light focusingsuperconducting resonatorsurface plasmonsurface plasmon polaritonstransition metaltwo-dimensional electron gastwo-photon lithographyultraviolet photodetectorsunitary transformationUV filtersvisible-blindVUV irradiationwaterwater-immersion-objective (WIO)wave functionwhispering-gallery-mode (WGM)wide-band gap semiconductorsZnO nanorodsTechnology: general issuesSarantopoulou Evangeliaedt1309873Sarantopoulou EvangeliaothBOOK9910557771503321Dynamics and Applications of Photon-Nanostructured Systems3029687UNINA04513nam 2201045z- 450 991057687070332120220621(CKB)5720000000008469(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/84585(oapen)doab84585(EXLCZ)99572000000000846920202206d2022 |y 0engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSerious Games and Mixed Reality Applications for HealthcareMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute20221 online resource (184 p.)3-0365-4151-9 3-0365-4152-7 Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have long histories in the healthcare sector, offering the opportunity to develop a wide range of tools and applications aimed at improving the quality of care and efficiency of services for professionals and patients alike. The best-known examples of VR-AR applications in the healthcare domain include surgical planning and medical training by means of simulation technologies. Techniques used in surgical simulation have also been applied to cognitive and motor rehabilitation, pain management, and patient and professional education. Serious games are ones in which the main goal is not entertainment, but a crucial purpose, ranging from the acquisition of knowledge to interactive training.These games are attracting growing attention in healthcare because of their several benefits: motivation, interactivity, adaptation to user competence level, flexibility in time, repeatability, and continuous feedback. Recently, healthcare has also become one of the biggest adopters of mixed reality (MR), which merges real and virtual content to generate novel environments, where physical and digital objects not only coexist, but are also capable of interacting with each other in real time, encompassing both VR and AR applications.This Special Issue aims to gather and publish original scientific contributions exploring opportunities and addressing challenges in both the theoretical and applied aspects of VR-AR and MR applications in healthcare.BiochemistrybicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscResearch & information: generalbicsscaccuracy rateAMDassisted Neurofeedbackaugmented realitybody trackingclassificationcognitive functiondata transformationsdementiaelderlyelderly healthcareexercise gamesexergamesfeature selectiongame designhealthcare simulationhybridhybrid simulatorinteraction designmachine learningMCImedical trainingmild cognitive impairmentmindfulnessmixed realitymulticomponent trainingn/aneurostimulationolder adultsPC-based gamepedicle screws fixation trainingpersonalized exergamespreventive carerandomizedreaction timerehabilitationsalienceself-regulationserious gameserious gamesserious games BCIspine surgerysurgical simulationunity game enginevirtual realityVRwearable sensorsBiochemistryBiology, life sciencesResearch & information: generalGesi Marcoedt1311967Condino SaraedtTurini GiuseppeedtViglialoro Rosanna MariaedtCarbone MarinaedtGesi MarcoothCondino SaraothTurini GiuseppeothViglialoro Rosanna MariaothCarbone MarinaothBOOK9910576870703321Serious Games and Mixed Reality Applications for Healthcare3030633UNINA
