This book introduces readers to the development of novel optical biosensors for environmental analysis. As these biosensors offer satisfactory optical response performance, they can be used to transform the recognition behavior of specific targets into optical signals and effectively detect target objects.

This book presents the comprehensive results of experimental and numerical investigations of glass facade breakage behavior under fire conditions.

This book focuses on the performance and application of fluidic nozzle throats for solid rocket motors, discussing their flow details and characterization performance, as well as the influence of the particle phase on their performance.

This book analyses the social contexts in which programmers design neuroimaging software used in brain studies.
