Sommario/riassunto

Enduring Questions in Gerontology provides a comprehensive perspective on the abiding issues in gerontology. Both current and future gerontologists will find this book useful in examining emerging



dilemmas and creating a context for further progress in the field of aging. The most creative thinkers contributing to the gerontological literature reflect on their disciplines, consider how key questions have emerged, review how they have changed in the decades since gerontology entered the fray, and speculate what may lie ahead. The resulting collection of essays offers a comprehensive perspective.

Sommario/riassunto

The book presents the papers presented at the 12th International Conference on Communications, Circuits, and Systems (ICCCAS 2023) held 5-7 May, in Singapore. It covers advanced research topics in fields that encompass the design, analysis, and optimization of circuits and systems that enable communication between devices and networks, including but not limited to RF and microwave circuits, wireless communication systems, digital signal processing, power electronics, and control systems. It is expected that the collection and publication of the research papers with the advanced topics listed in this book will further promote high-standard academic research in the field and make a significant contribution to the development of economics and human society.
