SPEC – Long-Acting Drug Delivery Systems: Pharmaceutical, Clinical, and Regulatory Aspects, 12-Month Access, eBook

This book tells the story of the First World War from the perspective of the Basque Country. It recounts the background to the First World War, to set context, and talks about how this war was experienced in the Basque Country including the after-effects it left behind, especially the human devastation wrought by the war. The social, economic, and political consequences it had in the Basque Country are discussed in this work, as it is clear that this conflict had a decisive influence on th...

Long-Acting Drug Delivery Systems: Pharmaceutical, Clinical, and Regulatory Aspects

This book gathers a wealth of research contributions on recent advances in intelligent and distributed computing, and which present both architectural and algorithmic findings in these fields. A major focus is placed on new techniques and applications for evolutionary computation, swarm intelligence, multi-agent systems, multi-criteria optimization and Deep/Shallow machine learning models, all of which are approached as technological drivers to enable autonomous reasoning and decision-maki...

This book gravitates on the prominent theories and recent developments of swarm intelligence methods, and their application in both synthetic and real-world optimization problems. The special interest will be placed in those algorithmic variants where biological processes observed in nature have underpinned the core operators underlying their search mechanisms. In other words, the book centers its attention on swarm intelligence and nature-inspired methods for efficient optimization and pr...
