Biomedical engineering is an interdisciplinary branch, as many of the problems health professionals are confronted with have traditionally been of interest to engineers because they involve processes that are fundamental to engineering practice. Biomedical engineers employ common engineering methods to comprehend, modify, or control biological systems, and to design and manufacture devices that can assist in the diagnosis and therapy of human diseases. This Special Issue of Fluids aims to be a forum for scientists and engineers from academia and industry to present and discuss recent developments in the field of biomedical engineering. It contains papers that tackle, both numerically (Computational Fluid Dynamics studies) and experimentally, biomedical engineering problems, with a diverse range of studies focusing on the fundamental understanding of fluid flows in biological systems, modelling studies on complex rheological phenomena and molecular dynamics, design and improvement of lab-on-a-chip devices, modelling of processes inside the human body as well as drug delivery applications. Contributions have focused on problems associated with subjects that include hemodynamical flows, arterial wall shear stress, targeted drug delivery, FSI/CFD and Multiphysics simulations, molecular dynamics modelling and physiology-based biokinetic models. 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 610 $arisk assessment 610 $astability study 610 $ainclined ?-channel 610 $alab-on-a-chip 610 $apipette Petri dish single-cell trapping (PP-SCT) 610 $aAbdominal Aortic Aneurysm 610 $adrug delivery 610 $ahuman biomonitoring 610 $aabdominal aortic aneurysm 610 $ashikonin 610 $ahyaluronic 610 $aComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 610 $aexposure reconstruction 610 $adoxorubicin 610 $abiokinetics 610 $ablood flow 610 $agelation 610 $ahyperbranched polyester 610 $asingle cell analysis 610 $acapillary 610 $aliposomes 610 $ameniscus 610 $asmall vessel 610 $aspreading 610 $aalkannin 610 $ahydrogel 610 $asingle-cell trapping 610 $adrug delivery system 610 $amicrofluidics 610 $aviscoelastic 610 $aCFD 610 $aFFMR 610 $acomputational fluid dynamics simulations 610 $abiochemical processes 610 $ahematocrit 610 $apressure drop 610 $apassive trapping 610 $adipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) 610 $aarterial wall shear stress 610 $acell capture 610 $afree-flowing film 610 $afalling film microreactor 610 $anon-Newtonian 610 $apulsatile flow 610 $atilt trapping 610 $ahaematocrit 610 $a?-PIV 610 $aviscous 610 $ahydrodynamics 610 $agravitational 610 $afluid-structure interaction 610 $ablood 610 $aphysiology-based biokinetics 610 $asimulations 610 $adroplet spreading 610 $ahuman bio-monitoring 610 $ashear thinning 610 $aFluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) 610 $acancer 610 $abisphenol A 610 $aCasson fluid 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 700 $aKanaris$b Athanasios G$01786961 702 $aParas$b Spiros V 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367565703321 996 $aExperimental and Numerical Studies in Biomedical Engineering$94319520 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05715nam 2201405z- 450 001 9910367736703321 005 20210212 010 $a3-03921-965-0 035 $a(CKB)4100000010106350 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/61361 035 $a(oapen)doab61361 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000010106350 100 $a20202102d2019 |y 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurmn|---annan 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aTropical Forest Ecology and Management for the Anthropocene 210 $cMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute$d2019 215 $a1 online resource (242 p.) 311 08$a3-03921-964-2 330 $aThis Special Issue looks forward as well as backward to best analyze the forest conservation challenges of the Caribbean. This is made possible by 75 years of research and applications by the United States Department of Agriculture, International Institute of Tropical Forestry (the Institute) of Puerto Rico. It transforms Holocene-based scientific paradigms of the tropics into Anthropocene applications and outlooks of wilderness, managed forests, and urban environments. This volume showcases how the focus of the Institute's programs is evolving to support sustainable tropical forest conservation despite uncertain conditions. The manuscripts showcased here highlight the importance of shared stewardship and a long-term, hands-on approach to conservation, research programs, and novel organizations intended to meet contemporary conservation challenges. Policies relevant to the Anthropocene, as well as the use of experiments to anticipate future responses of tropical forests to global warming, are reexamined in these pages. Urban topics include how cities can co-produce new knowledge to spark sustainable and resilient transformations. Long-term results and research applications of topics such as soil biota, migratory birds, tropical vegetation, substrate chemistry, and the tropical carbon cycle are also described in the volume. Moreover, the question of how to best use land on a tropical island is addressed. This volume is intended to be of interest to all actors involved in long-term sustainable forest management and research in light of the historical lessons and future directions that may come out of a better understanding of tropical cities and forests in the Anthropocene epoch. 610 $a?13C 610 $a?15N 610 $aadaptive management 610 $aallometry 610 $aAmerican tropics 610 $aand N/P ratios 610 $aannual cycle 610 $aAnthropocene 610 $abasal area 610 $abiomass 610 $aC/N 610 $aC/P 610 $aCa/Al relationship 610 $aCaribbean 610 $acarry over effects 610 $acities 610 $aclimate change 610 $acommunications 610 $aconservation 610 $acontemporary conservation 610 $adisturbance 610 $adry tropical forests 610 $aEl Yunque National Forest 610 $aelement concentration 610 $aelement concentration in leaf litter 610 $aelevation 610 $aexperiments 610 $aforest inventory data 610 $aForest Service 610 $ageospatial analyses 610 $agradients 610 $aGua?nica 610 $ahumid tropical forests 610 $ahurricane 610 $aidiom of co-production 610 $aintroduced species 610 $ainvertebrates 610 $aknowledge co-production 610 $aknowledge infrastructures 610 $aknowledge systems 610 $aknowledge systems analysis 610 $aland use governance 610 $aland use planning 610 $alandscape conservation 610 $alarge-scale 610 $alatitude 610 $aleadership 610 $aleaf C and N densities 610 $aleaf mass per area 610 $alitter 610 $along-term 610 $along-term ecological research 610 $aLong-Term Ecological Research 610 $aLuquillo Experimental Forest 610 $amanipulations 610 $amature forests 610 $amicrobiota 610 $an/a 610 $aN/P ratios 610 $anaturalized species 610 $aNearctic-Neotropical 610 $anetwork governance 610 $anitrogen fixing trees 610 $anovel forests 610 $aphotosynthetic nitrogen use-efficiency 610 $aPuerto Rico 610 $asecondary forests 610 $asoil biota 610 $asoil organic carbon 610 $aspecies composition 610 $aspecies dominance 610 $astoichiometry of leaf litter 610 $astrategic teams 610 $asuccession 610 $atree plantations 610 $atrees 610 $atropical 610 $atropical agriculture 610 $atropical deforestation 610 $atropical forest 610 $atropical forest area 610 $aTropical Forest Conservation 610 $atropical forest management 610 $aTropical Forest Management 610 $aTropical Forestry Research 610 $atropical forests 610 $atropical karst 610 $aU.S. Forest Service Planning Rule 610 $avision 610 $avolume expansion factors 610 $awood 700 $aGonza?lez de Jesu?s$b Grizelle$4auth$01880512 702 $aLugo$b Ariel$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910367736703321 996 $aTropical Forest Ecology and Management for the Anthropocene$94494513 997 $aUNINA
