Nanotechnology for the biologist

Nanotechnology refers to research and technology development at the atomic, molecular, and macromolecular scale, leading to the controlled manipulation and study of structures and devices with length scales in the 1- to 100-nanometers range...

Nanotechnology and medicine

Nanotechnology, or systems/device manufacture at the molecular level, is a multidisciplinary scientific field undergoing explosive development. The genesis of nanotechnology can be traced to the promise of revolutionary advances across medi...

Nanotechnology

Human dreams and imagination often give rise to new science and technology. Nanotechnology, a 21st-century frontier, was born out of such dreams. Nanotechnology is defined as the understanding and control of matter at dimensions between 1 a...

Development of a pro-angiogenic stem cell-derived vascular cell extracellular matrix-decorated hyaluronic acid hydrogel.

Designing a Model for Improving Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs)

Business improvement has always been one of the basic issues in the business world. Due to the growing changes in technology, pervasive competition and the changing needs of customers, companies must pay attention to the permanence and impr...

Circular RNA SMAD4 coordinates with m(6)A-dependent IGF2BP2 to promote gallbladder cancer development.

Time-Aware Service Ranking Prediction in the Internet of Things Environment

With the rapid development of the Internet of things (IoT), building IoT systems with high quality of service (QoS) has become an urgent requirement in both academia and industry. During the procedures of building IoT systems, QoS-aware ser...

Distributed System Design

Future requirements for computing speed, system reliability, and cost-effectiveness entail the development of alternative computers to replace the traditional von Neumann organization. As computing networks come into being, one of the lates...

A general theory of glacier surges

We present the first general theory of glacier surging that includes both temperate and polythermal glacier surges, based on coupled mass and enthalpy budgets. Enthalpy (in the form of thermal energy and water) is gained at the glacier bed ...

Psychometric facets of Antifragility: Tolerance of Ambiguity, Hardiness, and Growth

This paper considers the issues, which are concerned with a new concept of antifragility. Quite recently, considerable attention has been paid to the concept of antifragility. Antifragility gains a special importance in studying psychologic...

Design and Practice of Green and Low-Carbon Urban Rail Transit Planning

[Objective] To achieve cost efficiency and low-carbon transformation in rail transit, the planning, design, and implementation of green and low-carbon urban rail transit systems is investigated. [Method] Aiming at life-cycle sustainable dev...

Pore-Throat-Adaptive Transport and Flow-Redistribution Mechanisms of Deformable Hydrogel Particles in Tight Reservoirs of the Ordos Basin

Tight reservoirs commonly exhibit strong pore-throat confinement and flow heterogeneity, which cause injected water to preferentially migrate through connected high-conductivity pathways while a large fraction of movable fluids remains unde...

Distributed Systems: Concepts and Design

Broad and up-to-date coverage of the principles and practice in the fast moving area of Distributed Systems. Distributed Systems provides students of computer science and engineering with the skills they will need to design and maintain sof...

Hybrid drivetrain design: Working principle and application

Emerging engineering challenges in wind power electricity generation bond with stringent industrial requirements, have tendency to outline development and design process in the ready set go manner. From given predisposition one of the conse...

Four-dimensional reconfigurable vascular tunneling machine of spatially programmed liquid crystal elastomers

Abstract Thrombosis in tortuous vessels causes blockages and pathological conditions. Current thrombolytics are inefficient, and mechanical thrombectomies lack adaptability, hindering thrombus clearance in complex geometries. Here, we propo...

Recommendation Systems for Software Engineering

Software development can be challenging because of the large information spaces that developers must navigate. Without assistance, developers can become bogged down and spend a disproportionate amount of their time seeking information at th...

Software Engineering: A Practitioners Approach

Software engineering is the art of war. So if you don't know how to wage a war, then the weapons are useless. Software engineering has become very important because of the impact of large, expensive software systems and the role of software...

Encyclopedia of software engineering

Software engineering requires specialized knowledge of a broad spectrum of topics, including the construction of software; the platforms, applications and environments in which the software operates; as well as an understanding of the peopl...
