This book covers the fundamentals of both 2D and 3D image registration, the theories and methodologies currently developed, and the various applications in remote sensing, the military, industry, and medicine.   Various medical, industrial, and remote sensing examples are given throughout the book.

A new teaching tool for instructors in biomaterials and bioengineering, this volume is a comprehensive laboratory textbook. It trains students in laboratory skills, data analysis, problem solving, and scientific writing and integrates a variety of principles that include materials science, chemistry, biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, and engineering. Providing detailed descriptions, explanations, and illustrations of experiments, the text also includes a series of questions and answers at the end of each chapter to clarify concepts. Many of the experiments presented are adapted from research papers to reflect the recent progress in biomaterials and bioengineering.

Few scientists have access to the multidisciplinary experience needed for successful assay development and high-throughput screening (HTS) in drug discovery. Designed to give researchers a boost, this text integrates the experience of diverse experts who offer fundamental practical guidance across numerous situations. It introduces emerging technology that allows scientists to identify and capture relevant information. It instructs in how to initiate, validate, optimize, and manage a bioassay intended to screen large collections of compounds. It also identifies critical targets of relevance in drug discovery and treats each individually in terms of the parameters needed for successful assay development.

A state-of-the-art guide to recent developments in the understanding of plant response to abiotic stresses. Each chapter reflects how new techniques have helped physiologists, biochemists and molecular biologists to understand the basic problems of abiotic stress in plant species. The book supplies extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter, as well as tables and figures that illustrate the research findings.

• Provides an advanced look at biomaterials today, appropriate for a variety of disciplines
  
• Covers a wide range of topics, while focusing on emerging areas of interest such as nanobiomaterials, interface tissue engineering, emerging manufacturing techniques and new polymeric materials.
