Join Vax-Force as they explore how vaccination works inside your body! Dr. Vaxson explains how trusted doctors and scientists made Vicky the Vaccine. Her mission is to tell Willy the White Blood Cell and his Antibuddies how to find and fight bad guy germs like Measles, Tetanus, and Polio. So come along on this exciting and educational vaccination adventure with Vax-Force!

This book presents cutting-edge research and developments in the field of Biomedical Engineering. It describes both fundamental and clinically-oriented findings, highlighting advantages and challenges of innovative methods and technologies, such as artificial intelligence, wearable devices and neuroengineering, important issues related to health technology management and human factors in health, and new findings in biomechanical analysis and modeling. Gathering the proceedings of the XXVII Brazilian Congress on Biomedical Engineering, CBEB 2020, held on October 26-30, 2020, in Vitória, Brazil, and promoted by the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering – SBEB, this book gives emphasis to research and developments carried out by Brazilian scientists, institutions and professionals. It offers an extensive overview on new trends and clinical implementation of technologies, and it is intended to foster communication and collaboration between medical scientists, engineers, and researchers inside and outside the country.

This festschrift in honor of Professor Budugur Lakshminarayana's 60th birthday-based on the proceedings of a symposium on Turbomachinery Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer held recently at The Pennsylvania State University, University Park-provides authoritative and conclusive research results as well as new insights into complex flow features found in the turbomachinery used for propulsion, power, and industrial applications. Explaining in detail compressors, heat transfer fields in turbines, computational fluid dynamics, and unsteady flows, Turbomachinery Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer covers: Mixing mechanisms, annulus wall boundary layers, and the flow field in transonic turbocompressors The numerical implementation of turbulence models in a computer code Secondary flows, film cooling, and thermal turbulence modeling The visualization method of modeling using liquid crystals Innovative techniques in the computational modeling of compressor and turbine flows measurement in unsteady flows as well as axial flows and compressor noise generation And much more Generously illustrated and containing key bibliographic citations, Turbomachinery Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer is an indispensable resource for mechanical, design, aerospace, marine, manufacturing, materials, industrial, and reliability engineers; and upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in these disciplines.

This Note records work accomplished during Phase 1 of the project Analysis of Special Operations Forces Decision Aids. The objective of this project is to recommend ways in which the capabilities and contributions of special operations forces (SOF) can be better represented in decision aids that support the defense planning, programming, and budgeting process. Phase 1 includes two tasks. Task 1 required RAND to discern the issues central to SOF analysis. The results of Task 1 were briefed to U.S. Special Operations Command staff in October 1991. They are presented here in a condensed form.
