The human genome project has attracted a great deal of attention in recent years among the general public as well as the scientific community. Although it is likely to be a number of years before many of the expected benefits of the genomics revolution are realized, the impact of these scientific breakthroughs on medicine is likely to become apparent quickly and will transform the entire scene within a generation. Recent advances in genomic and proteomic technologies open up new avenues in the diagnoses and management of human diseases, and the application of these techniques may initiate a paradigm shift in clinical medicine. Initially, polymerase chain reaction tests were performed only in highly specialized or research laboratories. Presently, routine molecular assays are widely performed in virtually all sections and specialties of the traditional clinical laboratory, including oncology, hematology, immunology, and blood transfusion. Evolving techniques of nucleic acid and protein microarrays may follow a similar path to the clinician in the hospital. In human genetics, molecular techniques have brought forth new procedures for increasingly specific, sensitive, fast, simple, reliable, automatable, and cost-effective diagnostic and predictive DNA analysis. All of these modern nucleic acid technologies have significantly simplified the routine assessment of patients in the genetics clinic. For instance, advances in molecular biology and in genomics have made possible the early identification of persons at increased risk of, e.g., a thrombophilic state, developing certain forms of cancer, or degenerating neurological disorders. |

Recent technological advances in various fields of applied science have radically transformed the strategies and vision of biomedical research. While only a few decades ago scientists were largely restricted to studying parts of biological systems in isolation, mathematical and computational modelling now enable the use of holistic approaches to analyse data spanning multiple biological levels and traditionally disconnected fields. Mathematical modelling of organs and systems is a new frontier in the biosciences and promises to provide a comprehensive understanding of complex biological phenomena as more than the sum of their parts. Recognizing this opportunity, many academic centres worldwide have established new focuses on this rapidly expanding field that brings together scientists working in applied mathematics, mechanics, computer science, bioengineering, physics, biology and medicine. A common goal of this effort is to stimulate the study of challenging problems in medicine on the basis of abstraction, modelling and general physical principles. |

This book introduces a flavor of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) technologies called silicon-on-sapphire (SOS), describing the fabrication process, the advantages, and the basic devices available for circuit design. The physical differences in the fabrication of theSOSdevices and the insulating substrate make this process quite different from a standard bulk process. The insulating substrate, the floating body and the different thermal properties of the sapphire give rise to characteristics that have to be fully mastered to allow for the design of high-performance circuits. |

Despite the presence of sexual information in mainstream advertising, either in the form of sexual behavior, nudity, attractive models, fetishism, or promises of sexual fulfillment and intimacy, few sources are available to those interested in studying this multifaceted phenomenon. Although sexual appeals are used to sell more products—and to boost popularity of media products such as television programming, films, magazines, music, and Web sites—many scholars and consumers are still unable to describe "if" and "how" sex sells. In our minds, it was time for a book devoted to reviewing and advancing understanding of the interpretations, functions, and effects of sex in advertising. |

The brain, more complex than any computer that has ever been invented, is what makes us human. The science of the brain—neuroscience—has emerged as one of the most exciting fields of research and now occupies a central role in medicine, providing a firm scientific basis for clinical practice. At the heart of neuroscience lies the structure of the nervous system: neuroanatomy. An understanding of the nervous system and its anatomy is essential not just to researchers and not just to neurologists and psychiatrists but to clinicians in all subspecialties, because they all will encounter patients with disorders involving the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Stroke, for example, is the third most frequent cause of death in industrialized societies; mood disorders such as depression affect more than one person in 10; and dysfunction of the nervous system can be seen in 25% of patients in most general hospitals at some time during their hospital stay. The neuroanatomy basis for many of these disorders is already known, and for other disorders it will soon be discovered. |
