We are especially pleased to present our edited book in an area that is quickly emerging as one of the most active research areas that integrate both engineering and medicine. Preliminary research results show signi?cant potential in effecting major breakthroughsranging from a reduction in the number of corrective surgeries needed to the scienti?c miracle of generating tissue growth. Over $600 million has been in invested in tissue engineering last year alone a large and signi?cant component of this is in the area of virtual and physical prototyping. Virtual & Physical prototyping can broadly...

Bio-materials and prototyping (both virtual and physical) is becoming more and more prevalent in medicine. These materials and technologies are used to design, develop and manufacture medical devices and instrumentation, and to fabricate drug dosage forms. This process is also increasingly being used by surgeons to plan complex operations, especially in the craniofacial and maxillofacial areas. Further, prototyping shows promise in the area of tissue engineering through the use of biomaterials including the direct manufacture of biologically active implants. This book focuses on bio...

The rapid growth of the IE profession and academic departments outside the United States has led to a significant body of IE knowledge being developed, but this body of knowledge often does not find the appropriate archival outlets. This book focuses on two key aspects of the industrial engineering discipline - non-traditional settings and international environments. It clearly illustrates how IE based tools and techniques have been applied to a diversity of environments, many of which can be found in this book.

Companies across the world, for a variety of reasons, are committing to incorporating social responsibility into their business models and finding that their profits are growing and their long-term sustainability is enhanced -- building "humanity" into their business models as the driver of economic, environmental and social sustainability. The Business of Humanity (BoH) proposition leads to humane decisions and actions that will increase the profits generated and, importantly, reduce missteps when entering a new and untested market. It responds to humankind in business decisions by...
