Neuroscience for Artificial Intelligence

Neuroscience for Artificial Intelligence

The ongoing boom of applications for artificial intelligence (AI) is based on algorithms that were inspired by neuroscience discoveries in the 1960s. This is a timely book to introduce the new discoveries and ideas in neuroscience for the next wave of more powerful AI. AI researchers are all interested in the human brain which is more capable and energy-efficient but do not have good reading materials from the rather separate subfields of neuroscience all with plenty of jargons. Based on hundreds of publications from top journals the book fills in the gap between existing computational hardware/algorithms and emerging knowledge from neuroscience. | Neuroscience for Artificial Intelligence

Self-Aware Robots On the Path to Machine Consciousness

Self-Aware Robots On the Path to Machine Consciousness

This book focuses on the research and development in the field of self-aware robots. Its theme is artificial consciousness a field that covers both artificial intelligence and robotics and includes philosophy psychology the study of biological evolution physiology and medicine especially brain neuroscience and neuropsychiatry. Building on the first edition Creation of a Conscious Robot: Mirror Image Cognition and Self-Awareness this new edition discusses artificial neural networks and functions of human consciousness. It proposes a structure for a neural network with consciousness functions explains the construction of a conscious system and discusses the results of progressive research in designing and developing small robots with conscious systems capable of recognizing their own images in mirrors. Emphasizing the contributions of conscious robots to society and their potential future impact the book also describes the robots that know the unknown Pavlovian robots and the development of a consciousness model possessing the well-known multiple personality disorder. | Self-Aware Robots On the Path to Machine Consciousness

Microbial Infections and Cancer Therapy

Microbial Infections and Cancer Therapy

This book deals with the emerging concept that certain pathogenic bacteria and viruses when infecting people with cancer actively fight tumors allowing their regression. Although such observations go back more than 100 years use of specific bacterial strains or viruses usually genetically modified with known anticancer drugs and their protein/peptide products has gained ground in recent years allowing significant cancer regression in clinical trials with stage III/IV cancer patients or even in pediatric brain tumor patients often without any demonstration of toxicity. It is composed of 12 chapters written by pioneers in microbial biotech and cancer research and covers the emerging roles of various microorganisms and their products in cancer therapy. The book highlights the benefits of using conventional cancer treatments (such as chemo- and radiotherapies) with microbial-based therapies. Such combinatorial therapies have gained particular attention as a strategy to overcome drug resistance and the readers of the book will discover their impact on fundamental research and promising results from clinical trials. | Microbial Infections and Cancer Therapy

Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

Nanotechnology has the potential to change every part of our lives. Today nanotechnology-based products are used in many areas and one of the most important areas is drug delivery. Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems not only provide controlled delivery of drugs and improved drug solubility but also improve drug efficiency and reduce side effects via targeting mechanisms. However compared with conventional drug delivery systems few nanoparticle-based products are on the market and almost all are nontargeted or only passively targeted systems. In addition obtaining targeted nanoparticle systems is quite complex and requires several evaluation mechanisms. This book discusses the production characterization regulation and currently marketed targeted nanoparticle systems in a broad framework. It provides an overview of targeted nanoparticles’ (i) in vitro characterization such as particle size stability ligand density and type; (ii) in vivo behavior for different targeting areas such as tumor brain and vagina; and (iii) current advances in this field including clinical trials and regulation processes. | Drug Delivery with Targeted Nanoparticles In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation Methods

Nanoparticles in Life Sciences and Biomedicine

Nanoparticles in Life Sciences and Biomedicine

The creation of new and more efficient therapies for improving human health greatly depends on drug delivery systems. Nanotechnology has emerged as a powerful strategy for the development of nanoparticles such as nanoemulsions liposomes nanocrystals and nanocomplexes applied in the diagnosis treatment or theranostics of several pathologies and diseases. This book reviews the most recent research and development in nanotechnology and following a multidisciplinary approach presents new strategies for drug delivery including aspects from chemistry physics biology and imaging methodologies and exploiting several administration routes internalization pathways site-specific delivery strategies and the potential cytotoxicity of nanoparticles. Beginning with a description of the importance and application of nanotechnology for enhancing existing therapy the book moves on to detailing oral topical pulmonary brain cancer and anti-inflammatory drug delivery approaches; gene delivery approaches; theranostic approaches; and nanoparticle cytotoxicity. Practical and user friendly it is suitable for advanced undergraduate graduate and postgraduate students of nanoscience and nanotechnology; researchers in nanoscience nanotechnology chemistry biology biochemistry pharmaceutical sciences medicine and bioengineering especially those with an interest in drug delivery or theranostics; and academia and university readership. | Nanoparticles in Life Sciences and Biomedicine

Applied Bohmian Mechanics From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology

Applied Bohmian Mechanics From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology

Most textbooks explain quantum mechanics as a story where each step follows naturally from the one preceding it. However the development of quantum mechanics was exactly the opposite. It was a zigzag route full of personal disputes where scientists were forced to abandon well-established classical concepts and to explore new and imaginative pathways. Some of the explored routes were successful in providing new mathematical formalisms capable of predicting experiments at the atomic scale. However even such successful routes were painful enough so that relevant scientists like Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger decided not to support them. In this book the authors demonstrate the huge practical utility of another of these routes in explaining quantum phenomena in many different research fields. Bohmian mechanics the formulation of the quantum theory pioneered by Louis de Broglie and David Bohm offers an alternative mathematical formulation of quantum phenomena in terms of quantum trajectories. Novel computational tools to explore physical scenarios that are currently computationally inaccessible such as many-particle solutions of the Schrödinger equation can be developed from it. | Applied Bohmian Mechanics From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology
