Radiation Oncology and Radiation Biology: The Next 100 Years
by Joel GreenbergerThis book presents the fields of radiation oncology and radiation biology and projects the potential changes over the next 100 years. The first section describes the status of the medical specialty of radiation oncology and offers predictions for the evolution of the specialty over the next decades. The second section deals with the predictions of the future of radiation biology. This more comprehensive and detailed section deals with two major categories: space travel and the medical and physiological consequences of long-term exposure to space irradiation, and the late effects of ionizing irradiation on humans who have received therapeutic radiotherapy. Expanding use of high dose rate, small volume targeted stereotactic radiosurgery, and stereotactic ablative radiosurgery is expected to increase the numbers of long-term surviving patients. The medical, physiological, and radiobiological consequences of radiation late effect is described in detail. The current novel techniques of radiotherapy including FLASH irradiation, high LET particle irradiation, and novel strategies for a theranostics (combined radiographic diagnosis of metastatic deposits, and delivery of therapeutic radiation) are described, as well as the use of clinical radioisotopes in cancer therapy. This is an ideal guide for radiation oncologists and trainees who are particularly interested in where the field will progress over the next 100 years.

Interconnection Networks (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Architecture and Design)
by Jose Duato Sudhakar Yalamanchili Lionel NiThe performance of most digital systems today is limited by their communication or interconnection, not by their logic or memory. As designers strive to make more efficient use of scarce interconnection bandwidth, interconnection networks are emerging as a nearly universal solution to the system-level communication problems for modern digital systems. Interconnection networks have become pervasive in their traditional application as processor-memory and processor-processor interconnect. Point-to-point interconnection networks have replaced buses in an ever widening range of applications that include on-chip interconnect, switches and routers, and I/O systems. In this book, the authors present in a structured way the basic underlying concepts of most interconnection networks and provide representative solutions that have been implemented in the industry or proposed in the research literature.* Gives a coherent, comprehensive treatment of the entire field* Presents a formal statement of the basic concepts, alternative design choices, and design trade-offs* Provides thorough classifications, clear descriptions, accurate definitions, and unified views to structure the knowledge on interconnection networks* Focuses on issues critical to designers

The Rise of the Mediocracy (Routledge Revivals)
by David TribeFirst published in 1975, The Rise of the Mediocracy is exhaustive, disturbing, devastating, yet often very funny. It explodes the myth of meritocracy and the pretence of improved living standards. While the doom- boomers blame all our ills on trigger happy politicians, Arab oil sheikhs or polluting multinational corporations, the intractable problems of the world have come about through a multiplication of individual attitudes and actions whose end result is industrial anarchy, civil disorders, population explosion and declining standards.Many of the ‘good things’ of life- democracy, education, sociology, communications, growth, the welfare state- have contributed to the overall neurosis, trivialization and greed. As these good things will not likely be abandoned, the problems of contemporary society may well be insoluble. But if there are solutions they are unlikely to be implemented because everywhere there is an elitism not of meritocracy but of mediocracy, whose rise can be traced from the 18th century and has accelerated in recent years. No other book relates the discrediting of religion and politics, business and professions so plausibly to chaos in the arts, diminishing returns in education and curbless crime in society. This interdisciplinary book is an interesting read for students of humanities and social sciences.

The West Indies: The Federal Negotiations (Routledge Revivals)
by John MordecaiFirst Published in 1968, The West Indies is the history of Federation in the British West Indies since 1920’s, in itself a fascinating story full of strong and colorful personalities; at the same time, it offers an incisive analysis of the reasons why Federations have proved so unstable in the post war world. It is unusual to have the story from a man who was both without any narrow allegiance and at the centre of events from 1952 up to the very end. Sir John Mordecai was in daily contact throughout with the leading figures and the crisis surrounding them. He served as Secretary General of the West Indies Regional Economic Committee which prepared the organic structure for political union and as Federal Secretary and chief official when parliamentary government and the Council of Ministers took control in 1958.His work brings into focus the local agitation after two world wars, the great island leaders who strode the scene as apostles of Federation, the years of strenuous negotiations and compromise leading to the creation of the Federation in 1958, the events culminating in its collapse after four fractious years, and finally, the bleak predicament in which the islands and their leaders found themselves when the dream of generations lay shattered. This exciting book is a must read for anyone interested in the history of the West Indies.

Sustainable Development Goals and Urban Health: Strides, Challenges and Way Forward for Poor Neighborhoods (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Abraham R. Matamanda Verna NelThe main aim of this book is to understand the interplay between the SDGs and urban health. This is a critical issue in cities, considering the complexity of health issues and how they transcend most SDGs. However, the SDGs are premised on a broad set of generalised indicators and targets. Simultaneously, local contexts differ; thus, a one-size-fits-all understanding of urban health problems is not helpful. Therefore, the SDGs require Health in All Policies (HiAP) – “an approach to public policy across sectors that systematically takes into account the health implications of decisions, seeks synergies and avoids harmful health impacts to improve population health and health equity” (Ramirez-Rubio et al. 2019). In applying the HiAP concept, this book adopts a case study approach and considers the poor neighborhoods of a South African city, specifically Bloemfontein, part of the Mangaung Metropolitan Municipality. Each chapter presented in the book considers a particular SDG and how that goal relates to urban health.

Proceedings of the 1st International Conference Da'wah and Communication Disruptios Era 5.0 (Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research #862)
This is an open access book. Regional development is basically a process of change that is carried out for the better through planned efforts. The purpose of the Dean Forum of the Faculty of Da’wah and Communication itself is to discuss important matters such as the development of the faculty of Da’wah and communication which includes AD/ART, work programme and recommendations). Various studies can be done in this forum such as to sharpen the language about the improvement of the quality of graduates, discussing the certification of professions and graduates SKPI, curriculum and implementation of curricula MBKM, discuss about scholarship, human resource and Association of Professions and prodi in the Faculty of Da’wah and Communication as well as forming the Institute of Professional Certification (LSP) at the level of Islamic religious colleges in particular. Through the implementation of this FORDAKOM, each college can form a network of inter-collegiate cooperation such as competition, research activities, publication and scholarship activities of the Faculty of Da’wah and Communications both PTKIN and PTKIS. Besides, this forum is a forum where the problems of the faculty of Da’wah and communication can be solved jointly. A variety of good examples of faculty somewhere can be imitated by faculty elsewhere. This forum also serves as a disseminator of aspirations to influence government policy. To support the successful implementation of these programmes and activities, improve the efficiency and effectiveness as well as the continuity of the development of the Faculty of Religious Affairs and Communications, it is necessary for various input from all sides to assess the extent to which the objectives of the Programme and the Planned Activities are directed in the achievement of the targets. To this end, a periodic collection of data is carried out that is collected for access analysis of the performance of each university present through the integration of the data as a material and consideration to take policy action quickly and accurately. However, what is not less important is the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of some Islamic colleges, where this MOU is as an initial step to carry out the activities of the annual work programme as a follow-up step. With the existence of this MoU this is our best effort in responding from the standards of quality and criteria where in addition to the presence of MOU there must also be a follow up of the said MOU that is in the form of a plan of future activities.
