    **2025 PROSE Award Category Winner in Clinical Medicine**Comprehens... Hematology and Stem Cell Research is the first major reference to cover both stem cell research and therapy as well as the range of hematological disorders they are currently used to treat and may potentially be able to treat in the future. This five volume set includes fundamentals, such as the underlying mechanisms of the blood and immune system, highlighting blood disorders and cancers of the blood, including lymphoma, leukemia, and myeloma. Other sections cover stem cell research and therapy, from harvesting stem cells to their utilization in cancer treatments.Finally, the work looks to the future and explores newer stem cell research that may lead to future treatments. This book is an excellent resource for students at the graduate and post-graduate levels, academics, and researchers in the fields hematology, immunology and oncology.

  • Vehicular Platoon System Design

    Fundamentals and Robustness
    • 1st Edition
    • Hui Zhang + 3 more
    • English
    Vehicular Platoon System Design: Fundamentals and Robustness provides a comprehensive introduction to connected and automated vehicular platoon system design. Platoons decrease the distances between cars or trucks using electronic, and possibly mechanical, coupling. This capability allows many cars or trucks to accelerate or brake simultaneously. It also allows for a closer headway between vehicles by eliminating reacting distance needed for human reaction. The book considers the key issues of robustness and cybersecurity, with optimization-based model predictive control schemes applied to control vehicle platoon.In the controller design part, several practical problems, such as constraint handling, optimal control performance, robustness against disturbance, and resilience against cyberattacks are reviewed. In addition, the book provides detailed theoretical analysis of the stability of the platoon under different control schemes.

    • English
    On-Chip Photonics: Principles, Technology and Applications reviews the advances of integrated photonic devices and their demonstrated applications. The discussed applications encompass a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, including quantum photonics, lasers on a chip, mid-infrared and overtone spectroscopies, all-optical processing on a chip, logic gates on a chip, and cryptography on a chip. The summaries in the book chapters facilitate an understanding of the field and enable the application of optical waveguides in a variety of optical systems. Overviews of computational tools, material platforms, and suggestions for the realization of on-chip photonic devices are also included

  • The Current and Future Impact of Cytopathology on Patient Care, An Issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 17-3
    • Christopher J. Vandenbussche
    • English
    In this issue of Surgical Pathology Clinics, guest editor Dr. Christopher J. VandenBussche brings his considerable expertise to the topic of The Current and Future Impact of Cytopathology on Patient Care. Top experts discuss how minimally invasive procedures can provide critical information to guide patient management—for example, cytopathology specimens that allow for the timely and personalized treatment of patients, reducing the number of more costly and invasive procedures. This issue focuses on the recognition of critical cytomorphologic features, current and developing options for ancillary testing, and the potential use of cytopathology specimens in precision medicine (precision cytopathology).

  • Smart City Assessment

    A Novel Framework for Development and Evaluation of Smart Cities
    • 1st Edition
    • Azzam Abu-Rayash
    • English
    Smart City Assessment: A Novel Framework for Development and Evaluation of Smart Cities outlines a new assessment model for smart cities, including energy, environmental, and economic factors. It introduces a new paradigm to the understanding of smart cities by defining it using eight main domains, each domain using four specific performance indicators. This book defines a smart city as one with a smart environment, smart economy, smart society, smart culture, smart governance, smart energy, smart infrastructure, smart transportation, and one that is resilient to pandemics and global emergencies.This book begins by outlining these basic elements of a smart city, from sustainability to transportation networks. It then proposes a framework for evaluation, before analyzing both technological and socioeconomic factors in more detail. Central to the reader’s understanding are the wide range of detailed case studies based on real-world cities, analyzing their smart-ness and demonstrating the application of a Smart City Index ranking based on the assessment criteria. The application of this novel and comprehensive methodology is applied on 20 cities worldwide and trends, relationships between indicators and domains are assessed to better understand the dynamic connections in this composite network of indicators. Providing the theoretical background as well as the practical assessment tools necessary, this book offers a timely discussion of the criteria and development for smart, sustainable urban living.
