This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Conference on Network Computing and Information Security, NCIS 2012, held in Shanghai, China, in December 2012. The 104 revised papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 517 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: applications of cryptography; authentication and non-repudiation; cloud computing; communication and information systems; design and analysis of cryptographic algorithms; information hiding and watermarking; intelligent networked systems; multimedia computing and intelligence; network and wireless network security; network communication; parallel and distributed systems; security modeling and architectures; sensor network; signal and information processing; virtualization techniques and applications; and wireless network.
Despite the progress being made by researchers, Alzheimer's disease, along with other age-related neurodegenerative disorders, continues to exact a tremendous toll on our society. However, we are beginning to see a relationship that ties degenerative disorders to oxidative stress and lifestyle, suggesting the possibility for prevention and intervention through changes of individual habits, especially with regard to diet. Oxidative Stress and Age-Related Neurodegeneration brings together expert researchers involved with recent developments across a variety of fields. In looking at causation, prevention, and therapy, they offer contributions addressing these questions: What similarities and differences exist between normal aging and disease-related neurodegeneration in terms of susceptibility to and effects of oxidative stress? How can oxidative stress or its effects be attenuated? Do antioxidants prevent or slow the progress of the disease? Is there any role for natural micronutrients in the attenuation of oxidative stress and prevention of age-related neurodegeneration? Some chapters look at the various ways research is getting to the core of neurodegenerative disease, including the use of proteomics, comparisons to related diseases, and examinations at the cellular and molecular levels. Other chapters focus on specific antioxidants and nutrients cited as being impactful, such as those found in "Gingko biloba," green tea, blueberries, and grape seed extract. Researchers in academia, industry, and clinical medicine, as well as students and scholars will find use for this timely collection, either as an introduction to our current understanding of neurodegeneration or as areference for further research. Clinicians will also benefit, as this book explains the basis for many of the latest approaches to prevention and therapy.
