This book is quite extensive, covering basic bioinformatics concepts, biological data modeling techniques, and real-world integration/system interoperability challenges. It is an excellent reference for bioinformatics graduate students, researchers, clinical scientists, clinical data architects, and drug discovery professionals interested in managing postgenome biological data and systems.

This book is complementary to other nanotechnology books that appear to have similar topics in interdisciplinary research involving nanoparticles and biological applications. Each chapter in this book is written by internationally known experts, with extensive experiences in nanoparticles and their interactions with biological systems. Most of the topics in the text emphasize the theory and findings that may require knowledge in chemistry, physics, and biology at a graduate level. This reviewer therefore recommends this book for graduate courses in biomaterials and bioimaging or as a reference text.

Abbreviations are a wonderful invention. They help us to say a lot in a very little space. This was very important in the early development of wireless communication, where Morse code was the radio operator's character set. Long words and phrases required relatively long periods of time to be transmitted using this rather slow, narrow bandwidth communications method. To try to correct this problem, radio operators devised and borrowed from telegraph operators standard abbreviations such as the Q code to represent common phrases. For example, QTH referred to the radio operator's location, QRM was radio interference, and QSL meant please acknowledge receipt of this message.

One of the benefits of promoting the formation of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMBS) student associations around the world is to allow university trainees to engage with the global biomedical community at a local, national, and international scale. As part of our continuous efforts toward promoting student activities within EMBS, this column reflects on the experience of a successful EMBS Student Club from Europe [the IEEE EMBS United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland (UKRI) Student Club] in hosting the fifth edition of a conference organized by students for students: the Postgraduate Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Medical Physics (PGBIOMED).

I came across an e-newsletter from the British Museum last week advertising free delivery when you spend more than £100 on British Museum sculptures and replicas. Inasmuch as my small flat in London could use a bust replica of an Egyptian noble woman or a Rosetta Stone coffee mug, it was the ending of the newsletter that caught my eye in particular. To help others find this newsletter, the British Museum has conveniently provided links to ten networking Web sites (some of which I have never heard of): Digg It!, Del.ico.us, Newsvine, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Facebook, Google, Twitter, Myspace, LinkedIn. The British Museum is e-savvy. I started to think about the IEEE and the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society (EMBS), and I thought I would share some of our own proud e-achievements and current endeavors that we have come a long way over the past several years.

This book is intended to describe natural and engineered nanodevices from the broad perspectives of mathematical modeling, fabrication, function, and application. This text is written by more than 40 authors with a wide range of expertise. The authors assume that the readers are familiar with basic concepts and terminologies of mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, and biology. The book is organized across several disciplines, and the chapters are written at a level that this reviewer would suggest as a reference text for graduate students, researchers, and scientists who are interested in nanodevices and their applications in life science. The book is overly broad and too intense for most undergraduates.

This book presented several important characterization tools that are currently used in life science and in the process of development of biological applications. This text is written by more than 20 authors, with a wide range of expertise in characterization techniques. The authors assume that the readers are familiar with basic concepts and terminologies of engineering and biology. Each characterization tool is organized into a chapter, and the chapters are written at a level that this reviewer would suggest as a reference text for graduate students, researchers, and scientists who are interested in characterization techniques for the life science. The book covers very broad characterization tools and would be too intense for most undergraduates.
