This book provides a comprehensive introduction to X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy. The first part discusses the basic theoretical and observational topics related to black hole astrophysics; the optics and the detectors employed in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy; and past, present, and future X-ray and gamma-ray missions. The second part then describes data reduction and analysis, the statistics used in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, and demonstrates how to write a successful proposal and a scientific paper. Data reduction in connection with specific X-ray and gamma-ray missions is covered in the appendices. Presenting the state of the art in X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, this is both a valuable textbook for students and an important reference resource for researchers in the field.

This book is an ideal and practical resource on the potential impact Artificial Intelligence (AI) can have in space sciences and applications. AI for Space Application presents a hands-on approach to browse in the subject and to learning how to do. AI is not yet fully accepted as a pervasive technology in space applications because they are often mission-critical and the cost of space equipment and modules raises skepticism on any practical use and reliability. However, it is evident that its potential impact on many aspects is dramatic. Starting from either actual or experimental realizations, the book accompanies the reader through such fascinating subjects like space exploration, autonomous navigation and landing, rover control and guidance on rough surfaces, image analysis automation for planet or star classification, and for space debris avoidance without human intervention. This kind of approach may facilitate further investigations on the same or similar subjects, as the future of space explorations is going toward adopting AI. The intended audience of the book are researchers from academia and space industries and practitioners in related start-ups.

Questo libro spiega la natura del capitalismo come sistema di produzione e come processo storico. Il capitalismo ha superato i sistemi basati sulla rendita e i privilegi e ha creato la libertà di iniziativa e di lavoro, la concorrenza, la prevalenza del merito sui rapporti corporativi o clientelari, la crescita stabile della ricchezza. Ciò ha permesso lo sviluppo dei ceti medi, della cultura critica, dei diritti civili, della democrazia. Tuttavia il profitto ha sempre tentato di opprimere i più deboli e di rapinare i paesi arretrati. Queste due opposte tendenze non possono convivere indefinitamente. Oggi l'allargamento del benessere a tutti si scontra col neoliberismo, basato sulla crescita delle disuguaglianze, l'aumento delle rendite, l'ipersfruttamento del lavoro.

Pancreatic neoplasms include different pathological entities with variable biological behavior and different treatment modalities. Surgery and adjuvant therapy are the cornerstones of the therapeutic approach; however, even after radical resection, the majority of patients experience disease recurrence and the prognosis of pancreatic cancer remains dismal. A multimodal therapeutic approach, based on a combination of neoadjuvant therapy, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy and surgery, appears fundamental to improving the outcomes. This Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, entitled “Recent Advances in Pancreatic Neoplasms”, focuses on possible new strategies to treat pancreatic neoplasms.
