Semimartingale Theory and Stochastic Calculus presents a systematic and detailed account of the general theory of stochastic processes, the semimartingale theory, and related stochastic calculus. The book emphasizes stochastic integration for semimartingales, characteristics of semimartingales, predictable representation properties and weak convergence of semimartingales. It also includes a concise treatment of absolute continuity and singularity, contiguity, and entire separation of measures by semimartingale approach. Two basic types of processes frequently encountered in applied probability and statistics are highlighted: processes with independent increments and marked point processes encountered frequently in applied probability and statistics.
Semimartingale Theory and Stochastic Calculus is a self-contained and comprehensive book that will be valuable for research mathematicians, statisticians, engineers, and students.

With the explosion of information on autophagy in cancer, this is
an opportune time to speed the efforts to translate our current
knowledge about autophagy regulation into better understanding of
its role in cancer. This book will cover the latest advances in
this area from the basics, such as the molecular machinery for
autophagy induction and regulation, up to the current areas of
interest such as modulation of autophagy and drug discovery for
cancer prevention and treatment. The text will include an
explanation on how autophagy can function in both oncogenesis and
tumor suppression and a description of its function in tumor
development and tumor suppression through its roles in cell
survival, cell death, cell growth as well as its influences on
inflammation, immunity, DNA damage, oxidative stress, tumor
microenvironment, etc. The remaining chapters will cover topics on
autophagy and cancer therapy. These pages will serve as a
description on how the pro-survival function of autophagy may help
cancer cells resist chemotherapy and radiation treatment as well as
how the pro-death functions of autophagy may enhance cell death in
response to cancer therapy, and how to target autophagy for cancer
prevention and therapy what to target and how to target it.

Circularity of Plastics: Sustainability, Emerging Materials, and
Valorization of Waste Plastic takes an innovative,
interdisciplinary approach to circularity and sustainability in
plastics, with an emphasis on plastic waste and end-of-life
treatment and options for recycling, re-use, valorization and
development of biomass-based polymers. The book introduces key
concepts of sustainable materials, the circular economy, and
lifecycle assessment, and discusses challenges in the valorization
of waste. Other sections cover the upcycling of waste plastic into
new materials and fuels, with dedicated chapters exploring
state-of-the-art techniques for conversion to new sustainable
polymers, fuel, fine chemicals and carbon nanomaterials. Emerging
technologies used to produce functional polymers from renewable
feedstocks, including CO2, biomass, natural polymers, polylactic
acid (PLA), and polyhydroxyalkanoate-based materials (PHAs) are
then explored, with a final chapter focusing on applications of
sustainable materials, challenges, and future perspectives. This is
a valuable resource for researchers, scientists, engineers, R&D
professionals, and advanced students from a range of disciplines
and backgrounds, with an interest in sustainable materials,
circularity in plastics, and polymer waste and valorization.

An Introduction to Metallic Glasses and Amorphous Metals gives a
background on the physics of materials, describing relevant
experimental techniques. The book presents the necessary background
in physics, thermodynamics, and the mechanics of solids, before
moving on to cover elasticity, plasticity, fracture and the
anelastic behavior of metallic glasses, relating these properties
to chemical composition, atomic arrangement, microstructure, and
methods of preparation. In addition, it compares the
structure-property relationships specific to metallic glasses with
polycrystalline metals and alloys and describes the properties and
characteristics of metallic glasses. The general features and
behavior of metallic glasses are also analyzed and summarized. The
book includes full derivations of theory and equations and presents
a compendium of experimental methods used in materials science to
characterize and study metallic glasses and amorphous solids. The
title is a comprehensive resource for any researcher interested in
the materials science of metallic glasses and amorphous materials.

This SpringerBrief introduces the current research status on
emerging multiple access schemes for mMTC, which provides an
integrated reference for future research works. A brief
introduction on mMTC scenario is provided, and then the suitable
random access procedure is discussed. Various multiple access
schemes for mMTC are also described and analyzed in detail. It
assumes a background in communication theory and wireless
communication fundamentals. With the thriving of Internet of Things
(IoT) industry, an emerging scenario named massive machine-type
communication (mMTC) is considered in the future 5G networks. One
main challenge in mMTC is how to support massive connections with
limited radio resources and low energy consumption. Therein, novel
multiple access scheme is the key to overcome the challenge. This
SpringerBrief targets researchers and engineers, who are engaged in
5G and future IoT related communications system. It can also be a
used as a reference book or a secondary text for graduate students,
who major in communications.
Head pose and eye gaze estimation is a hot research topic in
computer vision as it is deeply related to someone's intentions and
attention. Despite many years of research, it remains a very
difficult and largely unsolved problem in unconstrained
environments. There have been several books on face recognition in
which the head pose and eye gaze are only discussed independently.
This book is the first to provide a comprehensive introduction to
the head pose, eye gaze and their integration from a computational
and implementation perspective. Face detection, a related topic, is
also discussed. This book has been written with an emphasis on face
domain knowledge that can provide fast and robust solutions to
estimate the head pose and eye gaze. Domain knowledge is not about
features but more anatomical properties. This book will serve as a
reference for students, researchers in the field of face
recognition and also practitioners in the field of face-based
commercial applications including engagement, disability assistance
and HCI. The content in this book does not require particular
knowledge. Nevertheless, some basic knowledge of geometric
computation would be useful for the reader.
