Curcumin-based Nanomedicines as Cancer Therapeutics presents a consistent and thorough overview of nanocurcumin applications in cancer treatments. It brings together the novel applications of nanocurcumin in biological milieu as well as helps readers to define the major gaps in knowledge that can lead to significant scientific discoveries. Nanocurcumin has been widely explored for the treatment of various cancers; however, the scientific literature is inconsistent in style and structure and scattered across many sources. By providing an explicit account on vital aspects on nanocurcumin-based anticancer delivery approaches and discussing the perspectives of the technologies explored so far based upon the findings outlined, the book offers updated and in-depth knowledge on the topic in one single source written by global leading experts. In addition, the book aims to stimulate the interest of the academic researchers, industrial scientists, businessmen, and young scholars to address key multidisciplinary challenges faced by nanotechnologists to foster the desired collaboration among biologists, chemists, physicists, engineers, and clinicians to find proper and efficient new cancer treatments.

Computation and Modeling for Fractional Order Systems provides readers with problem-solving techniques for obtaining exact and/or approximate solutions of governing equations arising in fractional dynamical systems presented using various analytical, semi-analytical, and numerical methods. Various analytical/semi-anal... methods are applied for solving real-life fractional order problems. The comprehensive descriptions of different recently developed fractional singular, non-singular, fractal-fractional, and discrete fractional operators, along with computationally efficient methods, are included for the reader to understand how these may be applied to real-world systems, and a wide variety of dynamical systems such as deterministic, stochastic, continuous, and discrete are addressed.Fractional calculus has gained increasing popularity and relevance over the last few decades, due to its well-established applications in various fields of science and engineering. It deals with the differential and integral operators with non-integral powers. Fractional differential equations are the pillar of various systems occurring in a wide range of science and engineering disciplines, namely physics, chemical engineering, mathematical biology, financial mathematics, structural mechanics, control theory, circuit analysis, and biomechanics, among others.

Putting AI in the Critical Loop: Assured Trust and Autonomy in Human-Machine Teams takes on the primary challenges of bidirectional trust and performance of autonomous systems, providing readers with a review of the latest literature, the science of autonomy, and a clear path towards the autonomy of human-machine teams and systems. Throughout this book, the intersecting themes of collective intelligence, bidirectional trust, and continual assurance form the challenging and extraordinarily interesting themes which will help lay the groundwork for the audience to not only bridge knowledge gaps, but also to advance this science to develop better solutions. The distinctively different characteristics and features of humans and machines are likely why they have the potential to work well together, overcoming each other's weaknesses through cooperation, synergy, and interdependence which forms a “collective intelligence.” Trust is bidirectional and two-sided; humans need to trust AI technology, but future AI technology may also need to trust humans.
