Risk Management and Governance: Concepts, Guidelines and Applications
Risk is a popular topic in many sciences - in natural, medical, statistical, engineering, social, economic and legal disciplines. Yet, no single discipline can grasp the full meaning of risk. Investigating risk requires a multidisciplinary approach. The authors, coming from two very different disciplinary traditions, meet this challenge by building bridges between the engineering, the statistical and the social science perspectives.
Acclaimed economists Hall and Lieberman have made the latest edition of ECONOMICS: PRINCIPLES AND APPLICATIONS as current as the headlines. Hall and Lieberman's careful focus on recent economic theories and applications, and how they relate to practical questions, effectively communicates that economics is an integrated, powerful body of knowledge that can address complex domestic and global issues.
Stem Cell Engineering: Principles and Applications
The potential of stem cells for healing and disease prevention in all fields of medicine is tremendous and has revolutionized the high-tech biomedical research. In this book, many of the most prominent researchers discuss the challenging topics of stem cell engineering, for example: Ethical issues of stem cell research; technological challenges, stem cell growth and differentiation, therapeutic applications, bioreactors and bioprocesses, high throughput and microfluidic screening platforms, stem cell identification and sorting, intercellular signaling and engineered niches
Neurofeedback and Neuromodulation Techniques and Applications
The study of neurofeedback and neuromodulation offer a window into brain physiology and function, suggesting innovative approaches to the improvement of attention, anxiety, pain, mood and behavior. Resources for understanding what Neurofeedback and neuromodulation are, how they are used, and to what disorders and patients they can be applied are scarce, and this volume serves as an ideal tool for clinical researchers and practicing clinicians in both neuroscience and psychology, to understand techniques, analysis, and their applications to specific patient populations and disorders.
