This book conceptualises the novel notion of ‘digital displacement’: the sudden pivoting to online technology in education caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The book documents this historical phenomenon in education and discusses the consequences for educator practice and educational strategies, in particular arts-based educators. Its content and scope cover both practice-based and academic frameworks, offering a scholarly investigation of the effect of the pandemic on embodied work, including drama, music, voice, dance and film, through a series of seven case stud-ies. The book also examines embodied online practice with a view to how COVID-19 has changed this in the long term.

The primary objective of this book is to cover different types of transducers starting from their fundamentals to various applications. It will also guide students to select the suitable type of transducer for a desired application based on their performance characteristics. To provide maximum topical coverage, the contents are carefully covered by considering the curriculum and syllabi of almost all universities throughout India. Every chapter starts with a brief introduction and ends with a detailed summary. At the end of chapters, good number of solved problems (wherever necessary) are also elaborately discussed in this book. Besides this, the book is profusely illustrated with schematic diagrams. This student-friendly approach will definitely be helpful for the students to learn and realize the topics in a comprehensible manner. The book with incisive explanations and all the pedagogic attributes is designed to serve the needs of the undergraduate students of Applied Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering.

The definitive bible for the field of biomedical engineering, this collection of volumes is a major reference for all practicing biomedical engineers and students. Now in its fourth edition, this work presents a substantial revision, with all sections updated to offer the latest research findings. New sections address drugs and devices, personalized medicine, and stem cell engineering. Also included is a historical overview as well as a special section on medical ethics. This set provides complete coverage of biomedical engineering fundamentals, medical devices and systems, computer applications in medicine, and molecular engineering.

Known as the bible of biomedical engineering, The Biomedical Engineering Handbook, Fourth Edition, sets the standard against which all other references of this nature are measured. As such, it has served as a major resource for both skilled professionals and novices to biomedical engineering. Medical Devices and Human Engineering, the second volume of the handbook, presents material from respected scientists with diverse backgrounds in biomedical sensors, medical instrumentation and devices, human performance engineering, rehabilitation engineering, and clinical engineering. More than three dozen specific topics are examined, including optical sensors, implantable cardiac pacemakers, electrosurgical devices, blood glucose monitoring, human–computer interaction design, orthopedic prosthetics, clinical engineering program indicators, and virtual instruments in health care. The material is presented in a systematic manner and has been updated to reflect the latest applications and research findings.

Development and Application of Classical Capillary Curve Theory shows readers how to improve chemical flooding recovery procedures in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) using sophisticated numerical modeling techniques for oil displacement that build on, and enhance, the accepted capillary curve in a novel way. The title presents research and technical data that amends the classical capillary curve, giving new impetus to chemical flooding research. By analyzing the capillary number experiment QL, the book models oil and water distribution in the micro-space of the reservoir core. Finally, the book discusses chemical flooding software, reservoir geological modeling, field tests, and a new technique of digital oil displacement testing being developed. - Describes how to improve chemical flooding recovery procedures using sophisticated numerical modeling techniques for oil displacement that build on, and enhance, accepted capillary curve theory - Presents the role of the capillary number experiment curve QL on oil-water distribution in the microscopic core of a reservoir - Details novel digital techniques for oil displacement testing and modeling with global applicability in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) - Gives information on chemical flooding software, reservoir geological modeling and field testing - Provides advanced digital modeling techniques alongside insights gained through many years of practical experience in Chinese oilfields
