IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee as Enabling Technologies for Low-Power Wireless Systems with Quality-of-Service Constraints
This book outlines the most important characteristics of IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee and how they can be used to engineer Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) systems and applications, with a particular focus on Quality-of-Service (QoS) aspects. It starts by providing a snapshot of the most relevant features of these two protocols, identifying some gaps in the standard specifications. Then it describes several state-of-the-art open-source implementations, models and tools that have been designed by the authors and have been widely used by the international community. The book also outlines the fundamental performance limits of IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee networks, based on well-sustained analytical, simulation and experimental models, including how to dimension such networks to optimize delay/energy trade-offs.
Sensor Systems and Software
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International ICST Conference on Sensor Systems and Software, S-Cube 2013, held in Lucca, Italy, 2013. The 8 revised full papers and 2 invited papers presented cover contributions on different technologies for wireless sensor networks, including security protocols, middleware, analysis tools and frameworks.
Networks of the Future
With the ubiquitous diffusion of the IoT, Cloud Computing, 5G and other evolved wireless technologies into our daily lives, the world will see the Internet of the future expand ever more quickly. Driving the progress of communications and connectivity are mobile and wireless technologies, including traditional WLANs technologies and low, ultra-power, short and long-range technologies. These technologies facilitate the communication among the growing number of connected devices, leading to the generation of huge volumes of data. Processing and analysis of such "big data" brings about many opportunities, as well as many challenges, such as those relating to efficient power consumptions, securi...
Trends in Angiogenesis Research
Angiogenesis -- the growth of new blood vessels -- is an important natural process occurring in the body, both for health and as related to disease. Angiogenesis occurs in the healthy body to help heal wounds and to help restore blood flow to tissues after injury or insult. In females, angiogenesis also occurs during the monthly reproductive cycle (to rebuild the uterus lining, to mature the egg during ovulation) and during pregnancy (to build the placenta, the circulation between mother and foetus). The healthy body controls angiogenesis through a series of "on" and "off" switches. The main "on" switches are known as angiogenesis-stimulating growth factors. The main "off switches" are known...
Biomarkers in Breast Cancer
Expert laboratory and clinical researchers from around the world review how to design and evaluate studies of tumor markers and examine their use in breast cancer patients. The authors cover both the major advances in sophisticated molecular methods and the state-of-the-art in conventional prognostic and predictive indicators. Among the topics discussed are the relevance of rigorous study design and guidelines for the validation studies of new biomarkers, gene expression profiling by tissue microarrays, adjuvant systemic therapy, and the use of estrogen, progesterone, and epidermal growth factor receptors as both prognostic and predictive indicators. Highlights include the evaluation of HER2 and EGFR family members, of p53, and of UPA/PAI-1; the detection of rare cells in blood and marrow; and the detection and analysis of soluble, circulating markers.
Agrochemicals in Plant Disease Management
The book is fabricated exclusively for M.Sc. (Agri.) and Ph.D. degree programmes in Plant Pathology, for all the universities of Agriculture, Horticulture, Forestry, Sericulture and the related streams of Botany. ‘Chemicals in Plant Disease Management’ is a compulsory subject in several degree programmes. The present book solely caters to the students of Plant Pathology, as it covers a wide range of topics related to chemicals used to control plant diseases, viz., Agrochemicals used in plant disease management: Current scenario; History and development of agrochemicals; Formulations, application and phytotoxicity of agrochemicals; Classification and modes of action of agrochemicals; Regi...
