At the inception of the modern biomaterials field in the 1940’s, this mostly includedbioinert medical devices and prostheses for cardiovascular and orthopaedic applications [2].Since this time, biomaterials have evolved with the field of tissue engineering, which aims todevelop functional substitutes for damaged tissues [3]. Today, scientists, engineers, andclinicians collaborate to develop a wide range of novel biomaterials that can diagnose and treatnumerous diseases in previously unimaginable ways [4

This will likely remain a mystery. Instead, focus on how conservation laws in the Laplace domain can be arranged to yield key information about process behaviors through parameters like gains and time constants. ≠ Bringing in computing tools too early or too late.

In addition to these functional definitions of engagement, an assessment instrument hasalso been developed in order to standardize definitions and measurement of engagement in highereducation. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) was developed in 2000 to assessundergraduate student engagement [21].

into the tissue (in fact, a depth of penetration can bedefined as the depth at which the irradiance has been reduced to 1/e of the incidentirradiance), and the amount of light reaching each depth can be calculated exactly. However,in most tissues scattering cannot be ignored and contributes significantly to light distribution.In this case it is no longer possible to use a simple, intuitive model like Beer’s law to predictlight distributions. In its most general form for situations where both absorption andscattering play a role, spatial light distribution is described by the light transport equationwhich relates the gradient of radiance at some position ‘r’ in direction s to losses due toabsorption and scattering and gain due to scattering
