ISBN-13: 3738635483
DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs global CO2 emissions continue to rise, the need to limit global warming has become an increasingly critical scientific and political challenge. The conversion of airport apron vehicles from combustion engines to electric drives is a promising technology in the aviation sector to reduce emissions. However, electric vehicles require longer recharge times, which can be overcome by implementing Dynamic Inductive Charging (DIC) technology. DIC enables charging while driving and provides vehicles with almost unlimited driving range. This book explores different approaches to optimizing the allocation of the required DIC infrastructure components by developing mathematical optimization models and algorithms.

ISBN-13: 3642292682
DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe topic of this book is the development of automated and inexpensive tools that transfer medical tests from a specialized clinical laboratory directly to the point of care, using biochip technology. Immediate access to medically relevant biochemical information for doctors and nurses promises to revolutionize patient care and dramatically lower costs. The miniaturization and automation of medical tests are made possible by biochip technology, that integrates advances in integrated circuits, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), microfluidics, and electronics. The target audience for this book includes engineering and biomedical researchers who would like to develop or apply biochip technology. They can use this book as a review of the field and as a guide for the development of novel biochip technology for point of care medicine. This book can also be used as a teaching tool for engineering and biomedical students, as well as a reference for physicians and health professionals.
