This book provides an overview of biosensors based on amperometry, conductimetry, potentiometry, square-wave voltammetry, impedance, and electrochemiluminescence and describes the use of ultramicroelectrodes for the real-time monitoring and understanding of exocytosis. Areas of particular interest a..

This book is considered the first to describe sensor-oriented energy harvesting issues. Its content is derived from the author’s research on the development of a truly self-autonomous and sustainable energy harvesting wireless sensor network (EH-WSN). This network harvests energy from a variety of a..

Race and Human Diversity is an introduction to the study of Human Diversity in both its biological and cultural dimensions.  This text examines the biological basis of human difference and how humans have biologically and culturally adapted to life in different environments.  It critiques the notion..

Requiring no prior expertise in optical dimensional metrology, this handbook helps readers understand the capabilities and limitations of optical metrology methods. It shows them how to successfully apply optical metrology to a vast array of current engineering and scientific problems. After buildin..

Evaluating current topics in instrumentation and sensor engineering courses, this book employs principles-based explanations to delineate the technology. Using commercial devices and technology to support theoretical bases, the author provides solid answers to questions such as: What makes a sensor ..

In the last decade, wireless or wired sensor networks have attracted much attention. However, most designs target general sensor network issues including protocol stack (routing, MAC, etc.) and security issues. This book focuses on the close integration of sensing, networking, and smart signal proce..
