3D Cell-BasedBiosensors inDrug DiscoveryProgramsMicrotissueEngineering for High ThroughputScreeningWilliam S. KisaalitaUniversity of Georgia, Athens, USA

This book is based on cutting-edge research con-ducted in the author’s own cellular bioengineeringlab, which over the past decade has developed anumber of sophisticated techniques to facilitate useof 3D cell based assays or biosensors. This bookuses data from peer-reviewed publications to con-clusively justify use of 3D cell cultures in cell-basedbiosensors (assays) for (HTS). The majority of assaysperformed in accelerated drug discovery processesare biochemical in nature, but there is a growingdemand for live cell-based assays. Unlike biochem-ical varieties, cellular assays are functional approxi-mations of in vivo biological conditions and canprovide more biologically relevant information.

ProtonExchangeMembrane Fuel CellsMaterials Propertiesand PerformanceEdited by

David P. Wilkinson,Jiujun Zhang, Rob Hui,Jeffrey Fergus, and Xianguo Li

Because of its lower temperature and specialpolymer electrolyte membrane, the protonexchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is wellsuited for transportation, as well as portable andmicro fuel cell applications. But the performanceof these fuel cells critically depends on the mate-rials used for the various cell components.Durability, water management, and reducingcatalyst poisoning are important factors whenselecting PEMFC materials.

Written by international PEMFC scientists andengineers from top-level organizations, ProtonExchange Membrane Fuel Cells: MaterialsProperties and Performance provides a singlecompilation of information for understandinghow to select and develop materials forimproved PEMFC performance. The book focus-es on the major components of the fuel cell unit,along with design and modeling aspects. It cov-ers catalysts and catalyst layers, before dis-cussing the key components of membranes, dif-fusion layers, and bipolar plates. The book alsoexplores materials modeling for the PEMFC.

This volume assesses the status of PEMFC fuelcell technology, research and developmentdirections, and the scientific and engineeringchallenges facing the fuel cell community. Itdemonstrates how the production of a commer-cially viable PEMFC requires a compromise ofmaterials with adequate properties, design inter-action, and manufacturability.

ProductionChemicals forthe Oil and Gas IndustryMalcolm A. KellandUniversity of Stavanger, Norway

Modern production methods and environmen-tal constraints demand chemical solutions. Andas oilfields age, the need for chemicals to ensuresteady production increases. This book describesclasses of production chemicals for use topsideand downhole in the upstream oil and gasindustry. It includes coverage of their mecha-nisms, deployment methods, and, where avail-able, environmental properties.This comprehensive resource:

• Offers a general overview of productionchemistry issues, the factors that affect thechoice of production chemicals, and environmental regulations

• Discusses suggestions for designing greenerchemicals, and presents a brief overview ofhow to remove mercury and arsenic compounds from production fluids

• Begins some chapters with an introduction to a problem for which there is a productionchemical

• Addresses chemical and non-chemical methods, and then thoroughly details thestructural classes of production chemicals and how they can be tested

Chapter-end references provide details on thesynthesis, testing, theory, and application ofeach type of chemical.

Unfortunately, crude oil production is character-ized by variable production rates and unpre-dictable changes to the nature of the fluids pro-duced. Unlike other texts that focus on howproducts perform in the field and how they aretested, this book focuses on the specific struc-tures of a range of chemicals that are known todeliver the required or desired performance. Italso provides an understanding of the issuesinvolved in the use of chemicals and a range ofproduction chemical additives that may be usedto rectify issues that would not otherwise be fullyresolved.

NanoparticleEngineering forChemical-MechanicalPlanarizationFabrication of Next-GenerationNanodevicesUngyu Paik and Jea-Gun ParkHanyang University, Seoul, South Korea

In the development of next-generationnanoscale devices, higher speed and lowerpower operation is the goal. Increasing relianceon mobile computers, mobile phones, and otherelectronic devices demands a greater degree ofspeed and power, and as chemical mechanicalplanarization (CMP) progressively becomes per-ceived less as black art and more as a cutting-edge technology, it is emerging as the technol-ogy for achieving higher performance devices.This book presents an overview of the field that:

• Explains the physicochemical properties ofnanoparticles according to each step in theCMP process, including dielectric CMP, shallow trend isolation CMP, metal CMP, polyisolation CMP, and noble metal CMP

• Provides a detailed guide to nanoparticleengineering of novel CMP slurry for next-generation nanoscale devices below the 60nm design rule

• Presents design techniques using polymericadditives to improve CMP performance

• Focuses on novel CMP slurry for the application to memory devices beyond50nm technology

Most books published on CMP focus on the pol-ishing process, equipment, and cleaning. Eventhough some of these may touch on CMP slur-ries, the methods they cover are confined toconventional slurries and none cover them withthe detail required for the development of next-generation devices. With its coverage of funda-mental concepts and novel technologies, thisbook delivers expert insight into CMP for all cur-rent and next-generation systems.

ComputationalTransportPhenomena forEngineeringAnalysesRichard C. Farmer,Ralph W. Pike, Gary C. Cheng, andYen-Sen Chen

Although computer technology has dramaticallyimproved the analysis of complex transport phenomena, the methodology has yet to beeffectively integrated into engineering curricula.Applying innovative tools to aid comprehensionand study of key processes, and connectingbasic principles with numerical methodology forsolving the conservations laws, this book presents the topic in terms of modern engineer-ing analysis and:

• Includes a production quality computersource code for expediting and illustratinganalyses of mass, momentum, and energytransport,

• Covers transport phenomena with examplesthat extend from basic empirical analyses tocomplete numerical analyses

• Presents a computational transport phenomena(CTP) source code written in Fortran anddeveloped and owned by the authors (it doesnot require a lease and can run on a PC ora supercomputer)

• Allows users to modify the code to serve theirparticular needs

Using the CTP code, grid generation and solu-tion procedures are described and visual solu-tion presentations are illustrated thus offeringextensive coverage of the methodology for awide range of applications. Bringing together awealth of professional and instructional experi-ence, this book stresses a problem-solvingapproach that uses one set of computationaland graphical tools to describe all aspects of theanalysis. It provides understanding of the princi-ples involved so that code improvements and/oruse of commercial codes can be accomplishedknowledgeably.
