Stepped-Frequency Radar Sensors
Stepped-frequency radar sensors are attractive for various surface and subsurface sensing applications. Stepped-frequency systems transmit consecutive trains of continuous-wave signals at different frequencies that are separated by a fixed amount. The unique characteristic of stepped-frequency systems is, although they work as frequency-based systems, their final response is described in a …

Organogenetic Gene Networks : Genetic Control of Organ Formation
All animals, including humans, derive from a single cell, which possesses all the genetic instructions needed to define how the animal will look like. However, during development, the millions of cells that derive from the zygote will only select part of this genetic information to give rise to the various organs of the body. The coordination of different cell behaviours during development resu…

Theoretical Modeling of Inorganic Nanostructures Symmetry and ab-initio Calc…
This book deals with the theoretical and computational simulation of monoperiodic nanostructures for different classes of inorganic substances. These simulations are related to their synthesis and experimental studies. A theoretical formalism is developed to describe 1D nanostructures with symmetric shapes and morphologies. Three types of models are considered for this aim: (i) nanotubes (rolle…

Encyclopedia of Psychopharmacology
Psychopharmacology is the study of the effects of psychoactive drugs on the functioning of the central nervous system at all levels of analysis, thus embracing cognition, behavior, psychological states, neurophysiology, neurochemistry, gene expression, and molecular biology. It includes, as an integral part of its domain, the interaction of environmental and genetic factors with psychoactive dr…

Theoretical Information Reuse and Integration
Information Reuse and Integration addresses the efficient extension and creation of knowledge through the exploitation of Kolmogorov complexity in the extraction and application of domain symmetry. Knowledge, which seems to be novel, can more often than not be recast as the image of a sequence of transformations, which yield symmetric knowledge. When the size of those transformations and/or the…

Stem Cells, Pre-neoplasia, and Early Cancer of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract
It remains unclear when and where Charles Darwin had his transformative idea of species evolution through random variation and selective retention. The legend goes that the fi rst inklings of the idea came to him on board the Beagle during the ship’s visit to the Galapagos Islands in the Eastern Pacifi c. Here he beheld fi nches with differently shaped beaks, which suggested local adaptat…
