Molecular Communications: An Analysis from Networking Theories Perspective
by Luis Tello-Oquendo Yesenia Cevallos Cristian Vacacela Gómez Talia Tene Deysi Inca Ivone Santillán Albert Espinal Nicolay SamaniegoThis book provides a complete analysis of molecular communications systems from the paradigm of TCP/IP network stack, and it exploits network theories (e.g. independent functions of a layer into a stack, addressing, flow control, error control, and traffic control) and applies them to biological systems. The authors show how these models can be applied in different areas such as industry, medicine, engineering, biochemistry, biotechnology, computer sciences, and other disciplines. The authors then explain how it is possible to obtain enormous benefits from these practices when applied in medicine, such as enhancing current treatment of diseases and reducing the side effects of drugs and improving the quality of treatment for patients. The authors show how molecular communications systems, in contrast to existing telecommunication paradigms, use molecules as information carriers. They show how sender biological nanomachines (bio-nano machines) encode data on molecules (signal molecules) and release the molecules into the environment. They go on to explain how the molecules then travel through the environment to reach the receiver bio-nano machines, where they biochemically react with the molecules to decipher information. This book is relevant to those studying telecommunications and biomedical students, engineers, masters, PhDs, and researchers.

Monetarisierung von technischen Daten: Innovationen aus Industrie und Forschung
by Wolfgang Prinz Daniel Trauth Thomas BergsDie Monetarisierung von Daten ist per se ein sehr junges Thema, zu dem es nur sehr vereinzelt Fallbeispiele gibt. Es fehlt an einer Strategie bzw. einem Konzept, das Führungskräften den Weg in die Monetarisierung von Daten zeigt, insbesondere jenen, die die Digitale Transformation bzw. Industrie 4.0 für sich entdeckt haben oder davon bedroht sind. Weil Maschinendaten meist unstrukturiert und ohne Domänenwissen/Metadaten nicht verwertbar sind, birgt die Monetarisierung von Maschinendaten ein noch nicht abschließend bewertbares Potenzial. Um dieses Potenzial greifbar zu machen, werden in diesem Werk neben Beiträgen aus der Wissenschaft auch Praxisbeispiele aus der Industrie beschrieben. Anhand von unterschiedlichen Beispielen aus diversen Branchen kann der Leser bereits heute Teil einer zukünftigen Datenökonomie werden. Mehrwerte und Nutzen werden konkret beschrieben.
Monetary Valuation of Privacy: Analyzing the Consistency of Valuation Methods and Their Influencing Factors (T-Labs Series in Telecommunication Services)
by Vera SchmittThis book explores the complex domain of personal data valuation, uncovering how individuals perceive the worth of their privacy in an era dominated by digital information exchange. The book delves into the largely scattered empirical research domain of how users value their own data, analyzing how companies like Google and Facebook rely heavily on the continuous collection of personal data to run their business models. By examining concepts like ‘Willingness to Pay’ and ‘Willingness to Accept’ in the context of privacy, the book offers a comprehensive overview of how people navigate the often-ambiguous trade-offs between sharing personal information and safeguarding their privacy. Through an empirical analysis supported by 14 crowdsourcing and two field experiments, the author investigates the influence of various factors—such as Privacy Concerns, Privacy Behavior, and Privacy Literacy—on the monetary assessment of privacy. The book also contrasts different methodological approaches to determine which yields the most reliable results, shedding light on the behavioral biases that can skew data valuation. This book is ideal for anyone interested in the intersection of privacy, economics, and digital ethics. The author not only offers insights into the current landscape but also proposes robust models for understanding and predicting how people value their privacy in different contexts. Whether you are a researcher, policymaker, or simply a concerned digital citizen, this book provides valuable perspectives on the monetization of personal data and the future of privacy in the digital age.
Money Without Boundaries: How Blockchain Will Facilitate the Denationalization of Money
by Thomas AndersonDiscover how blockchain will facilitate a new currency that will transcend space and time Largely inspired by The Denationalization of Money by Fredrich Hayek, Money Without Boundaries’ ideological foundation is also inspired by economists and thought leaders like Milton Friedman and Irving Fisher, advancements in capital markets over the past 50 years, and the convergence of old and new technologies. Author Thomas J. Anderson explains how blockchain acts as the filter and the glue, making it all possible. Compared with other currencies, blockchain-managed money markets are more straightforward and transparent. It is easier to monitor, understand, and assess the quality of their "full-faith and credit." Money Without Boundaries shows how not only money, but also the process of borrowing and lending, will evolve to be conducted in a 100% trusted, secure, transparent, open architecture environment. Anderson begins with a history of money and discusses the rise of cryptocurrency, concluding with a comparison of decentralized money markets to all other alternatives. Money without Boundaries: • Demonstrates how blockchain technology allows full transparency • Explains how blockchain makes it possible for money to be fully commoditized • Explains how this fully market-based, decentralized, self-regulating system has vast implications throughout the global financial system • Shows how everyone will benefit when they have the opportunity to compete on “full faith in credit” If you are interested in cryptocurrency, money, monetary theory, or understanding how the applied uses of blockchain technology will change your everyday life, this is essential reading.
MoneyGPT: AI and the Threat to the Global Economy
by James RickardsFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The New Great Depression and Currency Wars, a telling prediction for how AI will endanger global economic markets and securityIn November 2022, OpenAI released GPT-4 in a chatbot form to the public. In just two months, it claimed 100 million users—the fastest app to ever reach this benchmark. Since then, AI has become an all-consuming topic, popping up on the news, in ads, on your messenger apps, and in conversations with friends and family. But as AI becomes ubiquitous and grows at an ever-increasing pace, what does it mean for the financial markets?In MoneyGPT, Wall Street veteran and former advisor to the Department of Defense James Rickards paints a comprehensive picture of the danger AI poses to the global financial order, and the insidious ways in which AI will threaten national security. Rickards shows how, while AI is touted to increase efficiency and lower costs, its global implementation in the financial world will actually cause chaos, as selling begets selling and bank runs happen at lightning speed. AI further benefits malicious actors, Rickards argues, because without human empathy or instinct to intervene, threats like total nuclear war that once felt extreme are now more likely. And throughout all this, we must remain vigilant on the question of whose values will be promoted in the age of AI. As Rickards predicts, these systems will fail when we rely on them the most.MoneyGPT shows that the danger is not that AI will malfunction, but that it will function exactly as intended. The peril is not in the algorithms, but in ourselves. And it&’s up to us to intervene with old-fashioned human logic and common sense before it&’s too late.
