Cancer Theranostics, Second Edition provide updates on new molecular imaging probes and techniques for early detection of cancer and describes molecular imaging-guided cancer therapy. Discussions also include nanoplatforms, incorporating both cancer imaging and therapeutic components, as well as clinical translation and future perspectives. New to this edition is the inclusion of recent developments and a streamlined structure that leads the reader through the content more intuitively, from problem to solution. More illustrations of different forms of cancer theranostics??are included, and this edition also contains completely new content on DNA and RNA theranostics. In addition, new case studies are featured.This new edition is published in time to meet the needs of medical researchers in a comprehensive manner, encompassing diagnostics,?in vivo?imaging and its use for image-guided therapy, and a variety of other miscellaneous subjects. This book is a must-have for all research scientists, medical physicists, and physician scientists in cancer experimental therapeutics and molecular imaging.

Describes the identification of novel biomarkers to advance molecular diagnostics of cancer?Includes the latest developments in liquid biopsy, new imaging techniques such as magnetic particle imaging, artificial intelligence, different types of image-guided interventions and drug delivery, and new forms of theranostics, including the most recent mRNA based theranostics?Gives various, novel forms of cancer interventions and treatments?Provides clinical translation of different types of cancer theranostics platforms

This book focuses on various Passive optical networks (PONs)  types, including currently deployed Ethernet PON (EPON) and Gigabit PON (GPON) as well as next generation WDM PON and OFDM PON. Also this book examines the integrated optical and wireless access networks. Concentrating on two issues in these networks: media access control (MAC) and resource allocation. These two problems can greatly affect performances of PONs such as network resource utilization and QoS of end users. Finally this book will discuss various solutions to address the MAC and resource allocation issues in various PON networks.

This book introduces the concept of machine-type communication (MTC) for maritime Internet of Things. The first part of the book portrays a maritime MTC system from an architectural perspective and describes an MTC framework and the fundamental components, laying out a foundation that leads to an ultimate solution to the maritime IoT requirements and challenges. The second part ties together all discussed in the first part and demonstrates how to apply it to a practical system through a realistic design example based on an international maritime mobile spectrum. The book serves as a comprehensive tutorial of the maritime MTC from the top (the network architecture) to the bottom (the air/radio interface and regulatory radio spectrum constraints), guiding readers to an easier understanding of the maritime MTC-related issues and the rationale behind the design. The primary readers of this book include maritime communication engineers, maritime IoT professionals, maritime academia, andthe general MTC and IoT communities.Presents the concept of machine-type communication (MTC) for maritime Internet of Things (IoT) and its services, requirements, and challenges;Explains space-earth-integrated maritime machine-type communication system architecture with a comparison with its land counterpart;Sets out a comprehensive framework and details the ways to implement it on a practical radio spectrum;Includes maritime MTC radio spectrum and regulations, network design, protocol design, and air interface design.

This book investigates the use of network technologies in research, and explores how such use potentially changes the nature of professional learning between academics. It attempts to situate the discussion of technology use in real-world research settings, to identify the different forms of participation in intellectual exchange embedded in academic dialogue, and to further contribute to knowledge on how the use of network technology potentially changes the nature of learning. Multiple data collection methods are employed, in two forms of study: a single case study, and a number of individual interviews. The single case study was carried out over a one-year period, and consisted of interviews (22 interviewees), observations, and document review. Individual semi-structured interviews were carried out over a similar period of time with a wider and different population of 24 academics from different Oxford faculties. Half of these were interviewed twice.The main findings presented in this book demonstrate that the direct consequences of technology use are changes to academic dialogue and scholarly communication in general. The change to this critical aspect of research – scholarly communication – has potentially led to more distributed research in interconnected research environments. It is the changes to scholarly communication and the research environment that consequently affect participation in intellectual exchange.
