For fans of Shut Up, This Is Serious, this humorous, relatable novel gives an honest look at what it's like to fall in love for the first time...with someone you were sure you hated. High school senior Mayte has never been kissed, but it hardly matters. Her abuelita has cancer, her half sister with special needs has moved in, and college is off the table--family comes first. She keeps her problems to herself; why burden everyone she loves with more? Meanwhile, fellow senior Auggie is set on attending an elite creative writing program. But as the self-proclaimed most boring person alive, he can't exactly write the next great American novel when he's struggling to write a short story for college applications. After an awful blind date ("disaster" doesn't even begin to describe it), Mayte and Auggie are forced together by their merging social circles. The pair must at least pretend to get along...but soon they develop actual feelings. Then tragedy strikes Mayte's family. Auggie feels comp

Operational Modal Analysis: Developments and Applications provides a comprehensive overview of OMA and related technologies and practical usage.

The science of rheology and its applications have grown steadily. Although polymers dominated in the past, the applications to foods have become increasingly important over the last four decades. The complexity of food rheology has not only generated increased interest among academics, but it has also led to an increased recognition of its importance in the food industry. Emphasizing physics rather than mathematics, Polymer and Food Rheology: Volume 1, Applications to Single-Phase Systems focuses on rheological characteristics and properties of single substances and homogeneous mixtures. It introduces fundamental principles, types of flows, types of instruments, their theory, capabilities, limitations, and sources of error. Both sophisticated rheometers and simple devices and their uses are considered.- Discusses the types of material functions (properties) obtained from the different types of measurements and techniques: shear viscosity, normal stress differences, dynamic mechanical p

The development of minimally invasive approaches to screen for multiple tumor types at one time could potentially improve health outcomes; however, the clinical utility of multicancer detection (MCD) testing has yet to be established. The National Academies National Cancer Policy Forum held a workshop in October 2024 to explore the current scientific understanding and clinical use of MCD testing, as well as implications for cancer care and outcomes for all patients.

These two books cover the most significant recent advances in oncological molecular imaging, from methods and preclinical research to clinical practice. The first book is divided into two sections. The first section focuses on standardized and emerging technologies, as well as probe designs for various imaging modalities, including advanced X-ray imaging, CT, MRI, SPECT, total body PET, ultrasound, optical imaging, optoacoustic imaging, and probes for these modalities. The section also covers artificial intelligence in radiomics. The second section focuses on preclinical applications, including advanced microscopy in animal imaging. The second book presents various clinical applications of molecular imaging and related imaging features. The first section of the second book discusses the crucial, emerging role of molecular imaging in planning and monitoring oncological therapies and future challenges and prospects in multimodality imaging. The second section discusses radiotherapy appro

Enzymes, Volume 2: Enzymes at Work introduces mid- to advanced undergraduate students to multi-substrate reactions, enzyme regulation and applications, and protein engineering. It supports broader biochemical studies through a wide range of examples, building on the basic coverage of the topic in Enzymes, Volume 1: Nature's Chemical Machines.

A richly illustrated overview of the work of Neri Oxman whose design redefines computer science, digital fabrication, material science, and synthetic biology. Mediated Matter is the first comprehensive overview of Neri Oxman's groundbreaking design work. Oxman has forged a singular career across design, science, and technology over the past twenty years that includes, notably, founding the field of material ecology. Trained as both a medical doctor and an architect, she brings to design a spirit of inquiry and experimentation that includes a future-forward approach to materials--from silkworm thread to automated microrobots to a water-based fabrication platform that prints structures made from biopolymers. In her work at the MIT Media Lab, she designed products and buildings as interactive entities that are environmentally informed, biologically augmented, computationally grown, and digitally manufactured. Through richly detailed diagrams, explanatory texts, process documents, and brea
