Dear Reader: I am writing this note to solicit reprints/preprints for a book that I am writing. The book is called Frankenstein In The Machine (Pergamon Press). It is aimed at being a comprehensive study of the role of high performance computing in medicine/biology/dentistry/allied health sciences. The book is in its final stages of organization. I am trying to make the book relatively comprehensive. I am looking for the following items: (1)Color pictures/black and white graphics (slides/prints) of actual results. Same areas are -medical imaging -molecular visualization -simulation visualization -microscopy -medical visualization but are not limited to these areas. I will make copies of anything sent to me and gladly return it to you. In addition, I will acknowledge all figures used in the book. If you send pictures, please include appropriate citation/legend (2)Copies of reprints/preprints in the area of computational medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and allied health sciences. Areas include, not exclusively, -computational physiology and metabolism -computational pharmacology, pharmacodynamics, drug design -computational chemistry -demography, epidemiology, and statistics/biostatistics -disease modeling -cell biology -radiology -surgery -cardiology -renal function, brain modeling, neurophysiology, bone modeling joint modeling -issues in teaching (3)Names and addresses of individuals working in areas related to the above and who might be interested in contributing to it. I am trying to make this as complete a book as possible and do not wish to commit the faux pas of forgetting someone, if at all possible. Please feel free to circulate copies of this note, to repost copies of this note, and to discuss the book with others. I am setting an end of July 1991 target for receipt of materials. However, I am willing to be flexible if necessary. If you are interested in being kept informed about this project, please also let me know. My contact information is below. Please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
