Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này

Biomedical Signals and Systems is meant to accompany a one-semester undergraduate signals and systems course. It may also serve as a quick-start for graduate students or faculty interested in how signals and systems techniques can be applied to living systems. The biological nature of the examples allows for systems thinking to be applied to electrical, mechanical, fluid, chemical, thermal and even optical systems. Each chapter focuses on a topic from classic signals and systems theory: System block diagrams, mathematical models, transforms, stability, feedback, system response, control, time and frequency analysis and filters. Embedded within each chapter are examples from the biological world, ranging from medical devices to cell and molecular biology. While the focus of the book is on the theory of analog signals and systems, many chapters also introduce the corresponding topics in the digital realm. Although some derivations appear, the focus is on the concepts and how to apply them. Throughout the text, systems vocabulary is introduced which will allow the reader to read more advanced literature and communicate with scientist and engineers. Homework and Matlab simulation exercises are presented at the end of each chapter and challenge readers to not only perform calculations and simulations but also to recognize the real-world signals and systems around them. Table of Contents: Preface / Acknowledgments / Introduction / System Types / System Models / Laplace Transform / Block Diagrams / Stability / Feedback / System Response / Control / Time Domain Analysis / Frequency Domain Analysis / Filters / Author's Biography

Joseph Tranquillo is an associate professor of biomedical engineering at Bucknell University where he has been a faculty member since 2005. He received his Doctor of Philosophy degree in biomedical engineering from Duke University (Durham, NC) and Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from Trinity College (Hartford, CT). He was the founder and inaugural chair of the Biomedical Engineering Society Undergraduate Research Track, co-chair of the Body-OfKnowledge task force, and is currently the program chair of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Biomedical Engineering Division (BED). He co-founded the KEEN Winter Interdisciplinary Design Experience and is the co-director of the Bucknell Institute for Leadership in Technology and Management. Joe has received funding from the NSF, NIH, NCIIA, KEEN, and the Department of Defense and his work has been featured on the Discovery Channel, TEDx and CNN Health. He has published over 50 technical and 85 engineering education proceedings and articles and is the author of two other textbooks, Quantitative Neuroelectrphysiology and Matlab for Engineering and the Life Sciences. Joe has won the 2010 National ASEE BED teaching award, Bucknell’s Presidential Teaching Award in 2013 and is a National Academy of Engineering Frontiers of Engineering Education faculty member. When not teaching or doing research, he enjoys improvisational dance and music, running trail marathons, backpacking, brewing Belgian beers, and raising his two children Laura and Paul
