Historia de la
ciencia en la Argentina / José Babini ; estudio preliminar de Marcelo Monserrat.
- 1a ed. - Buenos Aires: Solar, 1986. - 273 p. ; 20 cm. No todos los
libros poseen historia propia; y cada vez hay menos de esa clase. Pero esta
Historia de la ciencia en la Argentina de José Babini (1897-1984) sí la tiene y
bastante rica. Vio la luz por primera vez en 1954 y es ésta su tercera edición
(no una mera reimpresión, como suele suceder con tantos textos, a los que
desaprensivamente se "reedita"). De hecho el único historiador de la
ciencia argentina durante bastantes años y hasta hace poco tiempo, Babini
reivindicó siempre lo específico de su quehacer. "No me ocupo de filosofía
ni de sociología de la ciencia —afirmaba—, mi trabajo es el del historiador, en
una disciplina que no debe ser confundida con otras. Aunque, por supuesto, no
niego para nada el lugar de la subjetividad; al contrario, creo que lo que hace
el historiador es una labor de interpretación". Puntal para
investigaciones que siguieron los pasos dados por Babini y apoyo para otras que
vendrán, esta obra es el resultado de un trabajo tenaz. Configura un panorama
básico para quien quiera conocer el tema en sus rasgos más generales. Pero no
es un manual. En rigor, si nos atenemos al título original (La evolución del
pensamiento científico en la Argentina), es una toma de posición y una
refirmación de la creencia de Babini en el progreso incesante del conocimiento

The flying circus of physics / Jearl Walker. - 2nd ed. -
Hoboken, New Jersey : Wiley, c2007. - xvii, 331 p. : il. ; 28 cm. This new version now contains answers to all the over 600
stimulating questions. Walker covers the entirety of naked-eye physics by
exploring problems of the everyday world. He focuses on the flight of Frisbees,
sounds of thunder, rainbows, sand dunes, soap bubbles, etc., and uses such
familiar objects as rubber bands, eggs, tea pots, and Coke bottles. Many
references to outside sources guide the way through the problems. Now the
inclusion of answers provides immediate feedback, making this an extraordinary
approach in applying all of physics to problems of the real world.

Climatology : an atmospheric science / John J. Hidore ...
[et al.]. - 3rd ed. - New York : Prentice Hall, c2010. - xviii, 385 p., láms. :
il. ; 29 cm. Taking the study of atmospheric science beyond the daily
weather map, Climatology explores the broader impacts of
weather and climate. The authors cover multiple facets of climate, many of
which play a significant role in everyday life—and examine many topics, such as
past climates, that are seldom adequately covered in other introductions to the
subject. The science behind widely publicized events is explained within the
systematic coverage of climate and climatology. The relationships between
climate and peopleare discussed in detail, and readers are shown how common
things ranging from wind-chill to architecture are understood in the wider
context of climate. In the Third Edition, data and information have been
updated throughout and significant coverage is devoted to climate change.

Medical device technologies : a systems based overview using
engineering standards / Gail D. Baura. - Waltham, Massachusetts :
Elsevier/Academic Press, c2012. - xv, 512 p. : il. ; 24 cm. The goal of this textbook is to provide undergraduate
engineering students with an introduction to commonly manufactured medical
devices. It is the first textbook that discusses both electrical and mechanical
medical devices. The first 20 chapters are medical device technology chapters;
the remaining 8 chapters are medical device laboratory experiment chapters.
Each medical device chapter begins with an exposition of appropriate
physiology, mathematical modeling or biocompatibility issues, and clinical
need. A device system description and system diagram provide details on
technology function and administration of diagnosis and/or therapy. The systems
approach enables students to quickly identify the relationships between
devices. Device key features are based on five applicable consensus standard
requirements from organizations such as ISO and the Association for the
Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI).

Biofluid mechanics : an introduction to fluid mechanics,
macrocirculation, and microcirculation / David A. Rubenstein, Wei Yin, Mary D.
Frame. - Boston : Elsevier Academic Press, c2012. - x, 400 p. : il. ; 24 cm. Both broad and deep in coverage, Rubenstein shows that fluid
mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to
air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement and
renal transport. Each section initiates discussion with governing equations,
derives the state equations and then shows examples of their usage. Clinical
applications, extensive worked examples, and numerous end of chapter problems clearly
show the applications of fluid mechanics to biomedical engineering situations.
A section on experimental techniques provides a springboard for future research
efforts in the subject area. Uses language and math that are appropriate and
conducive for undergraduate learning, containing many worked examples and end
of chapter problems. All engineering concepts and equations are developed
within a biological context. Covers topics in the traditional biofluids
curriculum, as well as addressing other systems in the body that can be
described by biofluid mechanics principles, such as air flow through the lungs,
joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement, and renal transport. Clinical applications are discussed throughout
the book, providing practical applications for the concepts discussed. ISBN: 9780123813831

Synchronization and arbitration in digital systems / David
Kinniment. - New Jersey : J. Wiley & Sons, 2007. - xvi, 263 p. : il. ; 24
cm. Today’s networks of processors on and off chip, operating
with independent clocks, need effective synchronization of the data passing
between them for reliability. When two or more processors request access to a
common resource, such as a memory, an arbiter has to decide which request to
deal with first. Current developments in integrated circuit processing are
leading to an increase in the numbers of independent digital processing
elements in a single system. With this come faster communications, more
networks on chip, and the demand for more reliable, more complex, and higher
performance synchronizers and arbiters. Written by one of the foremost
researchers in this area of digital design, this authoritative text provides
in-depth theory and practical design solutions for the reliable working of
synchronization and arbitration hardware in digital systems. The book provides
methods for making real reliability measurements both on and off chip,
evaluating some of the common difficulties and detailing circuit solutions at
both circuit and system levels. With its logical approach to design
methodology, this will prove an invaluable guide for electronic and computer
engineers and researchers working on the design of digital electronic hardware.
Postgraduates and senior undergraduate students studying digital systems design
as part of their electronic engineering course will struggle to find a resource
that better details the information given inside this book.
