IoE services will require an end-to-end design of communication, control, and computation functionalities, which to date has been largely overlooked. These 5G drawbacks are currently spurring worldwide activities focused on defining the next-generation 6G wireless system that can truly integrate far-reaching applications ranging from autonomous systems to XR and haptics. 6G will not be a mere exploration of more spectrum at high-frequency bands, but it will rather be a convergence of upcoming technological trends. While traditional applications will remain central to 6G, the key determinants of system performance will be the following four new applications domains: (i) multisensory XR applications, (ii) connected robotics and autonomous systems, (iii) wireless brain-computer interaction, and (iv) blockchain and distributed ledger technologies"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aWireless communication systems$xTechnological innovations 606 $aNetwork performance (Telecommunication) 615 0$aWireless communication systems$xTechnological innovations. 615 0$aNetwork performance (Telecommunication) 676 $a621.38456 686 $a32.20.20.16$2EP-CLASS 700 $aEbrahimzadeh$b Amin$01219199 702 $aMaier$b Martin$f1969- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554836403321 996 $aToward 6G$92819341 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03550nam 2200601Ia 450 001 9910830994703321 005 20170815170042.0 010 $a1-282-68281-4 010 $a9786612682810 010 $a3-527-62958-0 010 $a3-527-62959-9 035 $a(CKB)2550000000006848 035 $a(EBL)481246 035 $a(OCoLC)587380638 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000356857 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11269912 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000356857 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10350096 035 $a(PQKB)10581696 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC481246 035 $a(NjHacI)992550000000006848 035 $a(PPN)164070117 035 $a(EXLCZ)992550000000006848 100 $a20040521d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAtherosclerosis$b[electronic resource] $emolecular and cellular mechanisms /$fedited by Sarah Jane George and Jason Johnson 210 $aWeinheim $cWiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.$d2010 215 $a1 online resource (422 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a3-527-32448-8 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aAtherosclerosis: Molecular and Cellular Mechanisms; Contents; Preface; List of Contributors; PART I: Introduction; 1: Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis; PART II: PRO-Inflammatory Factors; 2: Chemokines and Atherosclerosis: A Critical Assessment of Therapeutic Targets; 3: Adhesion Molecules and Atherosclerosis; 4: Cytokines and Atherosclerosis; 5: Toll-Like Receptors in Atherosclerosis; 6: PPAR-Based Therapies for the Management of Atherosclerosis; 7: Pentraxins in Vascular Pathology: The Role of PTX3; PART III: Proteases; 8: Metalloproteinases, the Endothelium, and Atherosclerosis 327 $a9: Cathepsins in Atherosclerosis10: The Plasmin System and Atherosclerosis; 11: Mast Cell Proteases and Atherosclerosis; PART IV: Hyperlipidemia; 12: Macrophage Foam Cell Formation: The Pathways to Cholesterol Engorgement; PART V: Oxidative Stress; 13: NADPH Oxidase and Atherosclerosis; 14: Uncoupling of Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase in Atherosclerosis; 15: Heme Oxygenase-1 and Atherosclerosis; PART VI: Cell Growth and Phenotype; 16: Phenotypic Heterogeneity of Smooth Muscle Cells-Implications for Atherosclerosis 327 $a17: Platelets: Their Role in Atherogenesis and Thrombosis in Coronary Artery Disease18: Modulators of Monocyte and Macrophage Phenotypes in Atherosclerosis; Index 330 $aWith atherosclerosis being the number one cause of death in the western world, this handbook and ready reference provides a comprehensive account of the different stages and factors in the development of the atherosclerotic plaque.
