Ton participated in an FP7 Marie Curie Initial Training Network called DECIDE, and partners have submitted articles for this Special Issue. Scientists outside this network have also submitted articles. The articles examine various aspects of how the hematopoietic stem-cell gives rise to the different types of blood and immune cells. These include decision-making by the hematopoietic stem cell and the importance of controlling events within cells and the niches the cell resides in. New insights into these processes at the basic scientific level have given rise to an emerging new model for the development of blood cells. In turn, changes to our understanding of this process have led to new and exciting propositions regarding what goes wrong during the early stages of the development of leukemia.Cell Lineage Choice During HaematopoiesisStem cellsResearchStem cellsResearchMoral and ethical aspectsStem cellsResearch.Stem cellsResearchMoral and ethical aspects.616.02774Brown GeoffreyCeredig RhodriNjHacINjHaclBOOK9910598196703321Cell lineage choice during haematopoiesis3013332UNINA02573nam 2200469 450 991049517280332120220405091853.03-030-75134-1(CKB)4100000011984059(MiAaPQ)EBC6681430(Au-PeEL)EBL6681430(BIP)079748379(OCoLC)1261363282(EXLCZ)99410000001198405920220405d2021 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierAgent-based modelling of worker exploitation slave from the machine /Thomas ChesneyCham, Switzerland :Springer,[2021]©20211 online resource (180 pages)Frontiers in sociology and social research ;Volume 53-030-75133-3 Includes bibliographical references and index.This book illustrates the potential for computer simulation in the study of modern slavery and worker abuse, and by extension in all social issues. It lays out a philosophy of how agent-based modelling can be used in the social sciences. In addressing modern slavery, Chesney considers precarious work that is vulnerable to abuse, like sweat-shop labour and prostitution, and shows how agent modelling can be used to study, understand and fight abuse in these areas. He explores the philosophy, application and practice of agent modelling through the popular and free software NetLogo.This topical book is grounded in the technology needed to address the messy, chaotic, real world problems that humanity faces-in this case the serious problem of abuse at work-but equally in the social sciences which are needed to avoid the unintended consequences inherent to human responses. It includes a short but extensive NetLogo guide which readers can use to quickly learn this software and go on to develop complex models. This is an important book for students and researchers of computational social science and others interested in agent-based modelling.Frontiers in sociology and social research ;Volume 5.Multiagent systemsHuman capitalMultiagent systems.Human capital.006.30285436Chesney Thomas852636MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910495172803321Agent-Based Modelling of Worker Exploitation2010063UNINA
