This book delineates how systems biology, pharmacogenomic, and behavioral approaches, as applied to neurodevelopmental toxicology, provide a structure to arrange information in a biological model. The text reviews and discusses approaches that can be used as effective tools to dissect mechanisms underlying pharmacological and toxicological phenomena associated with the exposure to drugs or environmental toxicants during development. The book intends to elaborate functional outcomes of component-to-component relationships using rodent and nonhuman primate in vitro and in vivo models that allow for the directional and quantitative description of the complete organism in response to environmental perturbations. In addition, attention has also been directed to some of the more recent methodologies, including genomics, proteomics and metabolomics, applied in the evolutionary neurobiological field.

As device dimensions decrease, hot-carrier effects, which are due mainly to the presence of a high electric field inside the device, are becoming a major design concern. On the one hand, the detrimental effects-such as transconductance degradation and threshold shift-need to be minimized or, if possible, avoided altogether. On the other hand, performance­ such as the programming efficiency of nonvolatile memories or the carrier velocity inside the devices-need to be maintained or improved through the use of submicron technologies, even in the presence of a reduced power supply. As a result, one of the major challenges facing MOS design engineers today is to harness the hot-carrier effects so that, without sacrificing product performance, degradation can be kept to a minimum and a reli­ able design obtained. To accomplish this, the physical mechanisms re­ sponsible for the degradations should first be experimentally identified and characterized. With adequate models thus obtained, steps can be taken to optimize the design, so that an adequate level of quality assur­ ance in device or circuit performance can be achieved. This book ad­ dresses these hot-carrier design issues for MOS devices and circuits, and is used primarily as a professional guide for process development engi­ neers, device engineers, and circuit designers who are interested in the latest developments in hot-carrier degradation modeling and hot-carrier reliability design techniques. It may also be considered as a reference book for graduate students who have some research interests in this excit­ ing, yet sometime controversial, field.

This book bridges two seemingly distinct worlds—network theory and machine learning—to reveal the universal laws of scalability that underlie both. It examines how value, capacity, and performance evolve as systems expand, offering a unified framework that connects Metcalfe’s Law with neural scaling laws.By comparing network growth and model scaling, the book uncovers striking parallels: the diminishing throughput of densely connected networks mirrors the saturation of model generalization in large AI systems. Through rigorous analytical models, it explains when performance scales sublinearly, linearly, or even superlinearly—and why these transitions matter for the future of communication infrastructure and intelligent computation.Designed for researchers and advanced practitioners in computer networks, information theory, and artificial intelligence, this work delivers both conceptual insight and practical guidance. It helps readers recognize the structural forces that shape scalability, the mathematical trade-offs between capacity and efficiency, and the design principles that can transfer between large-scale networks and learning systems.Readers with backgrounds in probability, linear algebra, and algorithmic modeling will find this book a compelling synthesis of theory and application—a guide to understanding how scaling behavior defines the limits and possibilities of modern computational systems.
