Dewey Decimal Number: 571 Edition: 1 Format: Kindle Book Label: Academic Press Manufacturer: Academic Press Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 374 Publication Date: March 01, 2000 Publisher: Academic Press Studio: Academic Press Editorial Review: Product Description: Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics is unique in providing all the information needed to follow the interdisciplinary subjects of bioimpedance and bioelectricity without having to be a graduate student in the relevant fields. For the first time, one book offers the broadest possible introduction to all use and effects of electrical fields in tissue, dealing with the most basic chemical and physical functions of life. Very few books have covered the dielectric and electrochemical side of the subject, despite its importance; Bioimpedance and Bioelectricity Basics does. It also includes the electrical engineering concepts of network theory and the complex math needed. Up to now, there has been work done by physicists and engineers on one side, doctors and biologists on the other, this book fills the gap, providing the knowledge for both groups. Key Features * is one complete source and reference guide to a complex and disparate field * gives the reader the latest research and applications * is highly illustrated, with an indepth explanation of all mathematics Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Probably not for cliniciansAlthough the book is intended for persons in the biological sciences it is very unlikely to be of much help to those in medical and clinical practice hoping to understand better the applications and interpretation of bioimpedance. Rating:  - for an experimentalist in biology or physicsInstead of delving into research papers on this subject, the authors offer this book. It is a specialised and useful summary of what is known about bioelectricity. The circuits are simple, at least to an electric engineer. But then, she would be unlikely to know the biological aspects covered here. The level of physics is also straightforward. Simple dieletric models and usages of Maxwell's Equations. Nothing to scare off the physics student. Significant portions of the ... Read More |
