Wiley-VCH 2006 634 pages $250.00 Hardcover QC611 Braginski and Clarke (both: physics, U. of Wuppertal, Germany and U. of California, Berkeley respectively) present the second of two volumes introducing Supreconducting Quantum Interference Devices (SQUIDs); while volume I dealt with the theory, fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. , and performance of certain SQUIDs, this volume is dedicated to the many applications of such devices, such as the detection of signals from the brain and heart. Eight chapters cover the following topics: SQUID voltmeters and amplifiers, the magnetic inverse problem An inverse problem is the task that often occurs in many branches of science and mathematics where the values of some model parameter(s) must be obtained from the observed data. , biomagnetism Biomagnetism The production of a magnetic field by a living object. The living object presently most studied is the human body, for two purposes: to find new techniques for medical diagnosis, and to gain information about normal physiology. , measurements of magnetism and magnetic properties of matter, nondestructive evaluation of materials and structures using SQUIDs, gravity and motion sensors, and SQUIDs for standards and metrology and geophysical survey and magnetic anomaly detection. Along with those specializing in SQUID technologies, this book may be of use to advanced students and professionals in physics, astrophysics astrophysics, application of the theories and methods of physics to the study of stellar structure, stellar evolution, the origin of the solar system, and related problems of cosmology. , cosmology, chemistry, materials science, standards, biology, and medicine.
