From physical issues up to applications aspects, Mobile Ad Hoc Networking comprehensively covers all areas of the technology, including protocols and models, with an emphasis on the most current research and development in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. All material has been carefully screened for quality and relevance and reviewed by the most renowned and involved experts in the field. Explores the most recent research and development in the rapidly growing area of ad hoc networks. Includes coverage of ad hoc networking trends, possible architectures, and the advantages/limits for future commercial, social, and educational applications. Ad hoc networks have been an intense area of research and development but many products that fully utilize this technology are only now being widely deployed throughout the world.
Mobile Multi-hop Ad Hoc Networks are collections of mobile nodes connected together over a wireless medium. These nodes can freely and dynamically self-organise into arbitrary and temporary, "ad-hoc" network topologies, allowing people and devices to seamlessly internetwork in areas with no pre-existing communication infrastructure, (e.g., disaster recovery environments). The aim of this book is to present some of the most relevant results achieved by applying an experimental approach to the research on multi-hop ad hoc networks. The unique aspect of the book is to present measurements, experiences and lessons obtained by implementing ad hoc networks prototypes.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the IFIP-TC6 8th International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications, PWC 2003, held in Venice, Italy in September 2003. The 49 revised papers presented together with 6 special track papers, 1 invited paper, 11 project descriptions, 7 work in progress reports, and 8 novel ideas reports were carefully reviewed and selected from 115 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on mobile computing, wireless access, sensor networks, transport protocols, performance models, WCDMA, ad-hoc networks, wireless and mobile systems, cellular networks, IPv6, Bluetooth, and security and cooperations in ad-hoc networks.

They deal with cryptography, security and biometric techniques; advances network services, algorithms and optimization; mobile and pervasive computing; cybersecurity; parallel and distributed computing; ontologies and smart applications; and healthcare support systems.
[Increasing evidence suggests that microbiota and especially the gut microbiota (the microbes inhabiting the gut including bacteria, archaea, viruses, and fungi) plays a key role in human physiology and pathology. Recent findings indicate how dysbiosis—an imbalance in the composition and organization of microbial populations—could severely impact the development of different medical conditions (from metabolic to mood disorders), providing new insights into the comprehension of diverse diseases, such as IBD, obesity, asthma, autism, stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Given that microbial cells in the gut outnumber host cells, microbiota influences human physiology both functionally and structu...
