Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors as Sensitizing Agents for Chemotherapy, the fourth volume in the Cancer Sensitizing Agents for Chemotherapy Series, focuses on strategic combination therapies that involve a variety of tyrosine kinase inhibitors working together to overcome multi-drug resistance in cancer cells. The book discusses several tyrosine kinase inhibitors that have been used as sensitizing agents, such as EGFR, BCR-ABL, ALK and BRAF. In each chapter, readers will find comprehensive know...

A modern translation of Hui-ming Ching**, the classic Taoist manual on cultivating and conserving energy as a means of achieving greater health, longevity, and inner peace**To live a healthy and long life, to be tranquil and untouched by the dust of the mundane world, and to become one with the life-giving energy of the Tao—these are the goals of the practitioner of Taoist spirituality.The classic Chinese text Hui-ming ching

The Internet plays a significant and growing role in real-time industrial manufacturing, scheduling and management. A considerable research effort has led to the development of new technologies that make it possible to use the Internet for supervision and control of industrial processes.Internet-based Control Systems addresses the challenges that need to be overcome before the Internet can be beneficially used not only for monitoring of but also remote control industrial p...

This reference presents comprehensive information about laser surface treatments for tribological applications. Chapters of the book highlight the importance of laser technology in modifying materials to optimize the effects of friction and lubrication, by explaining a range of surface modification methods used in industries. These methods include hardening, melting, alloying, cladding and texturing. The knowledge in the book is intended to give an in-depth understanding about the role of ...

Additive manufacturing or 3D printing is the construction of an object using CAD models. The technology for additive manufacturing s gaining traction in recent times due to its accessibility for both personal and industrial use, as well as its usefulness in quick prototyping (either of a whole object or its components) and meeting the needs of small commercial workloads.Advances in Additive Manufacturing Processes informs readers about the breadth of 3D printing processes. Chapters cover t...

S960 Ultra-High Strength Steel Welded I-Section Structural Members focuses on the structural behaviour and design of S960 ultra-high strength welded I-section components under different loading cases, with detailed introduction on experimental and numerical programme presented. The actual use of S960 ultra-high strength welded I-section components is restricted, to some extent, by the lack of appropriate design rules, since the current international design standards can only be applicable ...

This book covers vibration testing and identification of dynamic structural systems. It starts from the fundamentals of structural dynamics, and covers the methods of modal analysis and model identification, vibration tests and the related experimental setup. It concludes with an outline of the authors‘ software, demonstrating practical applications, and illustrated with real-world case studies of full-scale structures.Theory is presented and derived step-by-step, with a detailed m...

In this comprehensive guide to laser cladding of engineering materials, expert contributors provide a detailed yet easy‑to‑follow explanation of the process, its use for surface modification and the benefits and applications of this technique in different environments and for different purposes.The optimization of an engineering material’s properties and behavior is vital for economic, safety and quality assurance reasons when these materials are applied in various industrial setti...
