Monique Frize Livres

Focusing on the historical struggle for women's access to education in science and engineering, the book highlights key figures and concepts that illustrate ongoing challenges. Monique Frize, a seasoned engineer, chronicles the educational barriers women faced from antiquity to the Enlightenment, showcasing the lives of pioneering women like Sophie Germain, Mileva Einstein, and Rosalind Franklin. The narrative addresses the dismissal of women's contributions and advocates for a re-gendering of the fields to inspire future generations of women in science and engineering.

In her touching and inspiring memoirs, leading engineer Monique (Aubry) Frize, O.C., recounts her life as a woman who blazed her own decidedly female trail in biomedical engineering, in what was then an unapologetically male-dominated world.

This book presents the extraordinary story of a Bolognese woman of the settecento. Laura Maria Caterina Bassi (1711-1778) defended 49 Theses at the University of Bologna on April 17, 1732 and was awarded a doctoral degree on May 12 of the same year. Three weeks before her defense, she was made a member of the Academy of Sciences in Bologna. On June 27 she defended 12 additional Theses. Several of the 61 Theses were on physics and other science topics. Laura was drawn by the philosophy of Newton at a time when most scientists in Europe were still focused on Descartes and Galen. This last set of Theses was to encourage the University of Bologna to provide a lectureship to Laura, which they did on October 29, 1732. Although quite famous in her day, Laura Bassi is unfortunately not remembered much today.This book presents Bassi within the context of the century when she lived and worked, an era where no women could attend university anywhere in the world, and even less become a professor or a member of an academy. Laura was appointed to the Chair of experimental physics in 1776 until her death. Her story is an amazing one. Laura was a mother, a wife and a good scientist for over 30 years. She made the transition from the old science to the new very early on in her career. Her work was centered on real problems that the City of Bologna needed to solve. It was an exciting time of discovery and she was at the edge of it all the way.

The book explores health care delivery systems in Canada and the U.S., detailing methods for measuring physiological variables and discussing sensor technologies. It highlights the clinical engineer's role in managing medical technologies across various regions, emphasizing patient safety, liability minimization, and quality assurance in technology management. Additionally, it covers telemedicine's applications, addressing technical, social, and ethical concerns. Finally, it examines the impact of technology on health care and the assessment processes involved, making it a valuable resource for professionals in the field.

Focusing on medical errors and technological solutions, this book's second part delves into electronic medical records and a four-step knowledge management process, covering data acquisition, storage, retrieval, discovery, translation, and integration. It also addresses usability studies and clinical trials. Designed for those involved in health care technology development and management, it serves as a valuable resource for industry professionals, hospital staff, and government researchers alike.

The book explores the intersection of ethics and biomedical engineering, focusing on professionalism, ethical theories, and relevant codes of conduct. It addresses critical issues such as conflicts of interest, informed consent, and ethical dilemmas surrounding reproductive technologies and genetic testing. Emphasizing the societal and environmental impacts of technology, it also examines cultural influences on medical care, including case studies from Japan and Canada. The final section guides ethical data collection and reporting, highlighting the importance of integrity in research practices.
