The Ethics of Research Biobanking

Springer, 2009

Biobanking, i.e. storage of biological samples or data emerging from such samples for diagnostic, therapeutic or research purposes, has been going on for decades. However, it is only since the mid 1990s that these activities have become the subject of considerable public attention, concern and debate. This shift in climate is due to several...

Ecology, Cognition and Landscape

Springer, 2009

It is more and more evident that our living system is completely disturbed by human intrusion. Such intrusion affects the functioning of entire systems in ways we do not yet fully understand. We use paradigms such as the disturbance to cover large and deep gaps in our scientific knowledge.

Human ecology is an uncertain terrain for...

Emerging Wireless Multimedia: Services and Technologies

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

The provision of IP-based multimedia services is one of the most exiting and challenging aspects of next generation wireless networks. A significant evolution has been underway for enabling such multimedia services and for ultimately migrating the Internet to the wireless world. This book examines this evolution, looking at an array of the most...

Blog Theory: Feedback and Capture in the Circuits of Drive

Polity, 2010

The challenge of this book is thinking critically about media practices in a setting where they are fast, fun, and ubiquitous. As an avowedly engaged and political approach to thought, critical theory of any sort encounters challenges. Attempting to analyze and intervene in the present, it nonetheless adopts a backward gaze, an idea G.W.F....

Automated Physical Database Design and Tuning (Emerging Directions in Database Systems and Applications)

CRC Press, 2011

Relational database systems have evolved significantly since their inception over 30 years ago. New applications are now more complex than ever, and tuning a production system for performance has become a critical yet time-consuming activity. Due to the increasing complexity in both application workloads and query engines, even...

Information Systems Action Research: An Applied View of Emerging Concepts and Methods (Integrated Series in Information Systems)

Springer, 2006

The field of research known as information systems (IS) is largely dedicated to the understanding of how computer systems and related technologies (e.g., communication technologies) affect human behavior. This is done mostly in the context created by organizations and social groups; although there are examples of IS...

Mobile Messaging Technologies and Services: SMS, EMS and MMS

John Wiley & Sons, 2003

Mobile messaging is practically the first data communication service in the wireless domain. It is a major advance on the conventional practice of providing only voice communication service over the wireless interface. Thus, mobile messaging is the initial step to bring the Internet to wireless terminals and has considerable importance both for...

Newnes, 2004

Provides a clearly written, real-world source of basic
information and circuit designs for up-to-date analog/digital control system design techniques using microcontrollers!

Today's control system designers face an ever-increasing "need for speed" and accuracy in their system measurements and computations. New...

Peer-To-Peer Storage: Security and Protocols (Computer Science, Technology and Applications)

Nova Press, 2010

Peer-to-peer (P2P) has proven as a most successful way to produce large scale, reliable, and cost-effective applications, as illustrated for file sharing or VoIP. P2P storage is an emerging field of application which allows peers to collectively leverage their resources towards ensuring the reliability and availability of user...

Special Issue on Emerging Bacterial Toxins (Reviews of Physiology, Biochemistry and Pharmacology)

Springer, 2005

Many bacterial ADP-ribosyltransferases are potent bacterial protein toxins and important virulence factors. After cellular uptake caused by highly efficient cell entry mechanisms, they modify eukaryotic target proteins with great specificity and often grossly affect biological functions of their targets. These properties of the...
