This open access book offers comprehensive, self-contained knowledge on Digital Twin (DT), which is a very promising technology for achieving digital intelligence in the next-generation wireless communications and computing networks. DT is a key technology to connect physical systems and digital spaces in Metaverse.The objectives of this book are to provide the basic concepts of DT, to explore the promising applications of DT integrated with emerging technologies, and to give insights into the possible future directions of DT. For easy understanding, this book also presents several use cases for DT models and applications in different scenarios.The book starts with the basic concepts, models, and network architectures of DT. Then, we present the new opportunities when DT meets edge computing, Blockchain and Artificial Intelligence, anddistributed machine learning (e.g., federated learning, multi-agent deep reinforcement learning). We also present a wide application of DT as an enabling technology for 6G networks, Aerial-Ground Networks, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs).The book allows an easy cross-reference owing to the broad coverage on both the principle and applications of DT. The book is written for people interested in communications and computer networks at all levels. The primary audience includes senior undergraduates, postgraduates, educators, scientists, researchers, developers, engineers, innovators and research strategists.

"Covers the main principles of pharmacognosy, along with important safety aspects, trends, therapeutic applications, and how they interact with humans"--Publisher's Web site.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications, MACOM 2011, held in Trento, Italy, in September 2011. The 21 full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 40 submissions. They are divided in topical sections on cognitive radio; MAC protocols; communications theory; special session on MAC protocols for WSNs; system analysis and scheduling; and queuing systems.

Focuses on the regulation and practicum of herbal medications in the real world. By introducing natural products as lead compounds for drug design, discovery, and development, the text bridges the gap between traditional herbal medications and current Western medicines.

This book addresses key issues concerning the maintenance time and development of patents granted by China, as well as the patent maintenance time granted by the United States, Germany, France, Japan and South Korea.
