Dorf, and is a comprehensive format that encompasses the many aspects of electrical engineering with articles from internationally recognized contributors. The goal is to provide the most up-to-date information in the classical fields of circuits, signal processing, electronics, electromagneticfields,energydevices,systems,andelectricaleffectsanddevices,whilecoveringtheemerging fields of communications, nanotechnology, biometrics, digital devices, computer engineering, systems, and biomedical engineering. In addition, a complete compendium of information regarding physical, chemical, andmaterialsdata,aswellaswidelyinclusiveinformationonmathematicsisincludedineachvolume.Many articlesfromthisvolumeandtheotherfivevolumeshavebeencompletelyrevisedorupdatedtofittheneeds of today and many new chapters have been added. Thepurposeofthisvolume(Sensors,Nanoscience,BiomedicalEngineering,andInstruments)istoprovidea readyreferencetosubjectsinthefieldsofsensors,materialsandnanoscience,instrumentsandmeasurements, andbiomedicalsystemsanddevices.Hereweprovidethebasicinformationforunderstandingthesefields.We also provide information about the emerging fields of sensors, nanotechnologies, and biological effects. Organization The information is organized into three sections. The first two sections encompass 10 chapters and the last section summarizes the applicable mathematics, symbols, and physical constants. Most articles include three important and useful categories: defining terms, references, and further information. Defining terms are keydefinitions and the first occurrence of each term defined is indicated in boldface in the text. The definitions of these terms are summarized as a list at the end of each chapter or article. The references provide a list of useful books and articles for follow-up reading. Finally, further information provides some general and useful sources of additional information on the topic. Locating Your Topic Numerous avenues of access to information are provided. A complete table of contents is presented at the front of the book. In addition, an individual table of contents precedes each section. Finally, each chapter beginswithitsowntableofcontents.Thereadershouldlookoverthesetablesofcontentstobecomefamiliar with the structure, organization, and content of the book. For example, see Section II: Biomedical Systems, thenChapter7:Bioelectricity,andthenChapter7.2:BioelectricEvents.Thistree-and-branchtableofcontents enables the reader to move up the tree to locate information on the topic of interest. Two indexes have been compiled to provide multiple means of accessing information: subject index and indexofcontributingauthors.Thesubjectindexcanalsobeusedtolocatekeydefinitions.Thepageonwhich the definition appears foreach key (defining) term is clearly identified in the subject index.
