The book provides an in-depth and comprehensive overview of the
essential role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in bone formation. In
combination with researches from multiple scholars in this field,
the book reviews the mechanisms of ncRNA-related bone diseases, as
well as the potential applications of RNA synthesis technology in
bone disorder treatments. This volume covers the following topics:
1) basic introduction of non-coding RNA and bone development, how
2) microRNAs and 3) long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) regulate bone
formation, 4) how ncRNAs and the corresponding pathways participate
in bone metabolism diseases, 5) RNA synthesis technology and the
possible RNA therapies in bone disease. Researchers and students in
the fields of human genetics, human physiology, developmental
biology and biomedical engineering, as well as professionals and
scientists in Orthopedics, will particularly find this book
helpful.

This book summarizes the latest advances in understanding chloride
ingress and steel corrosion in concrete under service loads. Unlike
the existing literature, it focuses specifically on the effect of
service loads on chloride-induced durability issues in reinforced
concrete structures. It discusses how service loads affect the
moisture and chloride penetration rate, corrosion kinetics and rust
distribution, as well as the structural performance of concrete
components (e.g. beams and columns) in a systematic and
hierarchical way. Given its scope, the book is chiefly intended for
researchers and industry practitioners in structural engineering,
particularly those whose work involves the durability design of
concrete structures.

This book investigates the problem of reducing operating cost for a
video streaming content delivery network (CDN), including both the
CDN's energy and traffic costs. It first introduces the key issues
and design choices of representative real-world CDNs, and discusses
the energy saving techniques for data centers and CDNs. Then, based
on a measurement study on a large video streaming CDN, it reveals
an inherent conflict between improving a video streaming CDN's
energy efficiency for energy saving, and maintaining the CDN's
ISP-friendly server selection policy. Further, it discusses a
cost-aware capacity provisioning algorithm that not only allows the
service capacity of a CDN's server clusters in numerous ISPs to be
dynamically planned, but also means that the overall operating
cost, including both the energy consumptions and the cross-ISP
traffics, can be further optimized. In addition it uses the
workload derived from real-world measurement and also implements
real values of the actual power and bandwidth prices to evaluate
the capacity provisioning algorithm, showing that it can
significantly reduce the overall operating cost of a video
streaming CDN, and effectively avoid frequent server switches.
Lastly, the book outlines a number of potential research directions
regarding cost-aware content delivery. The measurement, analysis,
and optimization methodologies and results presented in this book
are of particular interest to researchers in the Internet and
networking area.
