Percutaneous Collagen Induction With Microneedling : A Step-by-Step Clinical Guide
Percutaneous Collagen Induction with Microneedling is a minimally invasive technique widely used to treat numerous dermatologic conditions such as facial and body scars, melasma, wrinkles, skin laxity, stretch marks, alopecies, vitiligo and scleroderma. Microneedling can also be used to optimize transdermal drug delivery for many substances. This technique uses modern microneedling devices containing multiple fine needles, typically 0.5 to 2.5 mm in length, which are mounted on a barrel and rolled onto the skin to create numerous perforations into the stratum corneum and the papillary dermis. These micro-wounds initiate the release of growth factors, triggering collagen and elastin formation, which results in dermal remodeling and skin resurfacing. This book provides a step-by-step approach to microneedling, based on the authors’ more than ten years of experience with the technique.

PCR-based Detection of Brucella Species in Milk and Dairy Products from Syria Countryside as Surrogate Marker of Risk of Infection to the Urban Population
Brucellosis, also known as Malta or undulant fever, is a chronic, febrile, occupational disease caused by the Brucella bacterium. Brucella is an intracellular parasite that invades the phagocytes and causes a debilitating illness in humans that requires combined and extensive antibiotic treatment. This highly virulent stealth pathogen is transmitted by the consumption of infected, unpasteurized animal-milk products. Infection can also occur by direct contact with infected animal parts through cuts and abrasions on the skin. In animals, this pathogen causes sterility and spontaneous abortions, leading to significant economic losses to livestock production. The disease remains to be one of the most important health disorders spread worldwide and its eradication continues to be a difficult challenge.

Patterns of Light : Chasing the Spectrum from Aristotle to LEDs
Light is all around us – even when we do not see it. Our eyes do not detect the higher energy and shorter-than-visible-wavelength ultraviolet radiation, yet we know it is there from the sunburn we receive in Arizona. We know that window glass can block ultraviolet rays so we do not get a burn while driving with the windows rolled up. Our eyes do not detect the low-energy, long-wavelength infrared (IR) radiation but we know it exists from discussions of war applications and televised images of guided weapons targets. We also know about radio waves from the little boxes that talk to us and x-rays from the dentist's office.

Particle Image Velocimetry : New Developments and Recent Applications
Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) is a non-intrusive optical measurement technique which allows capturing several thousand velocity vectors within large flow fields instantaneously. Today, the PIV technique has spread widely and differentiated into many distinct applications, from micro flows over combustion to supersonic flows for both industrial needs and research. Over the past decade the measurement technique and the hard- and software have been improved continuously so that PIV has become a reliable and accurate method for "real life" investigations. Nevertheless there is still an ongoing process of improvements and extensions of the PIV technique towards 3D, time resolution, higher accuracy, measurements under harsh conditions and micro- and macroscales. This book gives a synopsis of the main results achieved during the EC-funded network PivNet 2 as well as a survey of the state-of-the-art of scientific research using PIV techniques in different fields of application.
