This volume is a compilation of the invited and contributed papers presented at the 11th International Symposium on Ceramics in Medicine. The topics covered include: bioinert biomaterials (alumina, zirconia), bioactive materials (calcium phosphates, bioglass), composites (polymer-ceramic, ceramic-ceramic), coatings on dental and orthopedic implants, cements; cell-material interactions in vitro; tissue response; biometrics; tissue engineering.The book will prove to be invaluable to materials scientists, bioengineers, molecular and cellular biologists, bone biologists and clinicians (physicians and dentists).

While the PSE community continues its focus on understanding, synthesizing, modeling, designing, simulating, analyzing, diagnosing, operating, controlling, managing, and optimizing a host of chemical and related industries using the systems approach, the boundaries of PSE research have expanded considerably over the years. While early PSE research was largely concerned with individual units and plants, the current research spans wide ranges of scales in size (molecules to processing units to plants to global multinational enterprises to global supply chain networks; biological cells to ecological webs) and time (instantaneous molecular interactions to months of plant operation to years of strategic planning). The changes and challenges brought about by increasing globalization and the the common global issues of energy, sustainability, and environment provide the motivation for the theme of PSE2012: Process Systems Engineering and Decision Support for the Flat World. Each theme includes an invited chapter based on the plenary presentation by an eminent academic or industrial researcher Reports on the state-of-the-art advances in the various fields of process systems engineering Addresses common global problems and the research being done to solve them

In this series, Rajiv Kohli and Kash Mittal have brought together the work of experts from different industry sectors and backgrounds to provide a state-of-the-art survey and best-practice guidance for scientists and engineers engaged in surface cleaning or dealing with the consequences of surface contamination. This volume complements Volumes 3 and 4 of this series, which focused largely on particulate contaminants. The expert contributions in this volume cover methods for removal of non-particulate contaminants, such as metallic and non-metallic thin films, hydrocarbons, toxic and hazardous chemicals, and microbiological substances, as well as contamination monitoring in pharmaceutical manufacturing, and an innovative method for characterization at the nanoscale. - Comprehensive coverage of innovations in surface contamination and cleaning - Written by established experts in the contamination and cleaning field - Each chapter is a comprehensive review of the state of the art - Case studies included
