Mathematically mature but in its infancy as far as engineering uses are concerned, fractional calculus is the basis of the methods chosen for system analysis and modelling. This reflects two decades’ worth of conceptual development which is now suitable for bringing to bear in biomedical engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text reveals the latest trends in modelling and identification of human respiratory parameters with a view to developing diagnosis and monitoring technologies. Of special interest is the notion of fractal structure which is indicative of the large-scale biological efficiency of the pulmonary system. The related idea of fractal dimension represents the adaptations in fractal structure caused by environmental factors, notably including disease. These basics are linked to model the dynamical patterns of breathing as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ideas presented in the book are validated using real data generated from healthy subjects and respiratory patients and rest on non-invasive measurement methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eHuman Respiratory System\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to applied mathematicians studying the modelling of biological systems, to clinicians with interests outside the traditional borders of medicine, and to engineers working with technologies of either direct medical significance or for mitigating changes in the respiratory system caused by, for example, high-altitude or deep-sea environments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447171836\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-5388-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 217\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49940156940428,"sku":"9781447171836","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447171836.jpg?v=1779054829","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781447171836","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
