This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Annual International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems, and Applications, WASA 2011, held in Chengdu, China, in August 2011. The 26 revised full papers and 13 invited papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers address all current trends, challenges, and state of the art solutions related to various issues in wireless networks. Topics of interests include, but not limited to, effective and efficient state-of-the-art algorithm design and analysis, reliable and secure system development and implementations, experimental study and test bed validation, and new application exploration in wireless networks.
Many micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) have clearly identified roles in supporting the function of cells of the immune system. People with micronutrient deficiencies often have immune impairments and are susceptible to infections and to infections being severe, even fatal. In such individuals, micronutrient supplements can reverse immune impairments and reduce the risk of infections. Nevertheless, the relationships between micronutrient status, immunity, and infection are complex: some micronutrients that are required by the immune system, such as iron, can also increase the risk of certain infections, probably because those micronutrients favor pathogen growth and survival. Furthermore...
Biological activity, in the field of materials, mainly refers to the properties that can induce special biological and chemical reactions at the interface between materials and biological tissues, forming chemical bonds between materials and biological tissues. A bioactive material is a biomaterial that is able to participate in a regenerative process at the molecular level and dictate molecular and cellular events in a preferred and predictable way. In the process of biomineralization, the ability of biological material to chemically bond with living bone is an important index of the biomaterial, and the biological activity of the material in vivo is reflected by the simulated body fluid-SB...
This volume offers the most comprehensive coverage on fetal programming. Chapters are written by authors of international and national standing, leaders in the field and trendsetters. The clinical relevance of the current research is emphasized in each chapter, which also contains key points, key words, and concise summaries for ease of learning. Fetal programming affects conditions in the immediate postnatal period, as well as in later life and adulthood. These conditions include cardiovascular disease, frank hypertension, stroke, dyslipidemia, coagulopathy, increased insulin resistance-metabolic syndrome, type-2 diabetes, leukemia, testicular cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, polycys...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Wireless Algorithms, Systems and Applications, WASA 2014, held in Harbin, China, in June 2014. The 41 revised full papers presented together with 30 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 134 submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics including cognitive radio networks, wireless sensor networks, cyber-physical systems, distributed and localized algorithm design and analysis, information and coding theory for wireless networks, localization, mobile cloud computing, topology control and coverage, security and privacy, underwater and underground networks, vehicular networks, information processing and data management, programmable service interfaces, energy-efficient algorithms, system and protocol design, operating system and middle-ware support and experimental test-beds and models.
