This volume looks at the use of transport phenomena in biological engineering systems. The text defines the common properties of all biological systems - metabolic pathways, locomotion, reproduction, and responses to thermal conditions that can be understood and modelled using principles of transport phenomena. Topics are drawn from a broad range of biological systems including medicine, environment, biotechnology, food ecology, horticulture and physiology. The book emphasizes design aspects, permitting readers to design engineered systems that are compatible with and efficient in the context...

Whether you are a bioengineer designing prosthetics, an aerospace scientist involved in life support, a kinesiologist training athletes, or an occupational physician prescribing an exercise regimen, you need the latest edition of Biomechanics and Exercise Physiology: Quantitative Modeling. Using numerous worked examples to demonstrate what and when to calculate, this book covers more than the fundamentals of exercise physiology and shows you how to calculate responses magnitudes. The second edition improves upon the first edition with inclusion of numerical examples, homework problems, margin...
