High Speed Digital Design discusses the major factors to consider in designing a high speed digital system and how design concepts affect the functionality of the system as a whole. It will help you understand why signals act so differently on a high speed digital system, identify the various problems that may occur in the design, and...
Over the past few years, the power and potential of proteomics has become
widely recognized. The use of proteomics for the study of complex diseases is
increasing and is particularly applicable to cardiovascular disease, the leading
cause of death in developed countries. The ability to investigate the complete
proteome provides a...
The goals of chemotherapy (and radiotherapy) are to eliminate tumor cell targets by
promoting cell death. In recent years, a major focus has been placed on programmed
cell death or apoptosis as the primary mechanism of cell killing. However, tumor
cells may respond to various forms of treatment in diverse ways, only some of which...
Tumor angiogenesis is one of the most prominent mechanisms driving tumor development and progression. This book is written by internationally renowned experts. Part 1 describes the basic mechanisms. Tumor-angiogenic signaling pathways are presented as new potential targets for anti-angiogenic therapy. Part 2 reviews the efforts made to...
A thorough knowledge of modern connection-oriented networks is essential to understanding the current and near-future state of networking.
This book provides a complete overview of connection-oriented networks, discussing both packet-switched and circuit-switched networks, which, though seemingly different, share common...
The book will discuss the molecular mechanisms of cancer diseases, stem cell proliferation and transformation into cancer cells beyond the physiological processes that occur in normal stem cell biology. Some of the key oncogenic events in cancer and their signaling pathways that regulate cell division cycle progression will be described...
Cancer Cell Signaling: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition brings together the most recent advances in cancer cell signaling knowledge along with recent progress in the development of novel strategies and experimental cell models to study human cancer. Opening with a section on targeting cancer cell metabolism as an anticancer...
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is gaining a lot of attention these days, as more companies and individuals switch from standard telephone service to phone service via the Internet. The reason is simple: A single network to carry voice and data is easier to scale, maintain, and administer. As an added bonus, it's also...
Hura and Singhal discuss all the complex issues involved in networking and provide an excellent resource for practitioners and instruction for students. They offer a comprehensive treatment … -CHOICE, October 2001, Vol. 39 No. 2
This book covers a vast area of communications technology in 1,140 pages. It is aimed at...
Bioinformatics, which can be defined as the application of computer science and information technology to the field of biology and medicine, has been rapidly developing over the past few decades. It generates new knowledge as well as the computational tools to create that knowledge. Understanding the basic processes in living organisms is...
The lifecycle of businesses is complicated. Right from birth, businesses experience not just opportunities but also many hurdles. The primary obstacle for all businesses is access to capital; drawing from a variety of fields and research perspectives, this book presents four scientific studies that explore the implications of financial...
Developmental biologists have been driven to investigate growth factor signaling in embryos in order to understand the regulatory mechanisms underlying a given developmental process. Thus, it is critical to explore the technical methods and experimental designs for growth factor signaling in embryos.
