Recent advances in the processing of microstructured and nanostructured materials are finding application in medical diagnosis and treatment. For example, novel building blocks for bottom-up assembly of biomaterials are being designed that will simplify development of nanostructured materials. In addition, functional biomaterials are being developed that exhibit unique interactions with proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological structures. This book brings together a diverse group of materials researchers, medical device manufacturers and clinicians to discuss the use of novel techniques for processing metals, ceramics, polymers, natural materials and composite materials used in diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. Topics include: processing of biomimetic materials; materials for bio-imaging; functional biomaterials; nanoparticles for medical diagnosis and treatment; novel materials and devices for drug delivery and biosensing; scaffolds for tissue engineering; self-assem

Quantum information processing offers fundamental improvements over classical information processing, such as computing power, secure communication, and high-precision measurements. However, the best way to create practical devices is not yet known. This textbook describes the techniques that are likely to be used in implementing optical quantum information processors. After developing the fundamental concepts in quantum optics and quantum information theory, the book shows how optical systems can be used to build quantum computers according to the most recent ideas. It discusses implementations based on single photons and linear optics, optically controlled atoms and solid-state systems, atomic ensembles, and optical continuous variables. This book is ideal for graduate students beginning research in optical quantum information processing. It presents the most important techniques of the field using worked examples and over 120 exercises.

With signal combining and detection methods now representing a key application of signal processing in communication systems, this book provides a range of key techniques for receiver design when multiple received signals are available. Various optimal and suboptimal signal combining and detection techniques are explained in the context of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, including successive interference cancellation (SIC) based detection and lattice reduction (LR) aided detection. The techniques are then analyzed using performance analysis tools. The fundamentals of statistical signal processing are also covered, with two chapters dedicated to important background material. With a carefully balanced blend of theoretical elements and applications, this book is ideal for both graduate students and practising engineers in wireless communications.
