Biofilms contain bacterial cells that are in a wide range of physiological states. Within a
biofilm population, cells with diverse genotypes and phenotypes that express distinct …

Bacterial biofilms occur in many natural and industrial environments. Besides bacteria,
biofilms comprise over 70 wt% water. Water in biofilms occurs as bound-or free-water …

This third edition offers a comprehensive overview of the latest theories on flow, transport,
and heat-exchange processes in porous media. It also details sophisticated porous media …

Many bacteria on earth exist in surface-attached communities known as biofilms. These films
are responsible for manifold problems, including hospital-acquired infections and biofouling …

Presenting state-of-the-art research advancements, this volume explores innovative
approaches to effectively apply existing porous media technologies to biomedical …

The six years that have passed since the publication of the first edition have brought
significant advances in both biofilm research and biofilm engineering, which have matured …

Imaging of biofilm systems is a prerequisite for a better understanding of both structure and
its function. The review aims to critically discuss the use of optical coherence tomography …

Bacterial biofilms are interface-associated colonies of bacteria embedded in an extracellular
matrix that is composed primarily of polymers and proteins. They can be viewed in the …

Scientific imaging represents an important and accepted research tool for the analysis and
understanding of complex natural systems. Apart from traditional microscopic techniques …

Multiple numerical approaches have been developed to simulate porous media fluid flow
and solute transport at the pore scale. These include 1) methods that explicitly model the …
