The Nightingale Prize 2010 for best MBEC paper in 2009 awarded.

摘要

In 2012 our journal will exist 50 years reflecting that it is one of the oldest Biomedical Engineering journals. The first Editor in Chief of Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, MB EC, was Alfred Nightingale. In 1963 he died at the age of 40 and therefore has not seen much of his accomplishments for the journal [17]. He was a promising scientist and pioneer in the field of electromyography [15]. In his honor the Nightingale prize was established in cooperation between the Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine (http://www.ipem.org.uk/ipem_public) and the International Federation of Medical and Biological Engineering (http://ifmbe.org/). The prize is yearly awarded to the best paper in the preceding year to be determined by the editors of MBEC.
