Modernizing .NET Web Applications: Everything You Need to Know About Migrating ASP.NET Web Applications to the Latest Version of .NET
by Tomáš HercegIn 2016, Microsoft introduced the new generation of .NET called .NET Core. It brought many fundamental improvements to the platform, but there were also many breaking changes and missing APIs, especially when it comes to creating web applications. Upgrading any website running on .NET Framework to the new .NET Core proved to be a complex process, which can take months or even years. This book describes two approaches you can take to incrementally modernize legacy .NET web applications. It explains the changes that happened in ASP.NET MVC, ASP.NET Web API, Entity Framework, ASP.NET Identity, SignalR, and other libraries. It also shows a migration path for applications written in ASP.NET Web Forms: a technology which isn’t supported in the new .NET at all. In addition, the book describes the new frameworks available in the ASP.NET Core platform (Blazor, Razor Pages, ASP.NET Core MVC, SignalR Core, and so on) and helps you decide which technology will be the best fit. The book also covers several “soft” areas: how to explain the benefits or necessity for the modernization to your company management, how to deal with refactoring and improving the overall code quality during the entire process, and how to adjust the architecture of the application to be ready for another technology upgrade in the future. The topic of modernization is highly relevant. There are still plenty of legacy .NET applications that are being actively developed and maintained. Many of them were developed for 10+ years, they involve plethora of company-specific know-how, and it is not economically feasible to rewrite them from scratch. What You Will Learn Discover the changes you need to make in a legacy ASP.NET application to migrate it to .NET 8 and beyond Estimate the required effort and prepare the entire process Use the In-place or Side-by-side approach to modernize your application incrementally Migrate from ASP.NET Web Services or WCF to REST or gRPC Migrate from ASP.NET SignalR to SignalR Core or from Entity Framework to EF Core Migrate from Forms Authentication to ASP.NET Identity Migrate ASP.NET Web Forms to Blazor Server or DotVVM Migrate ASP.NET MVC and Web Pages to ASP.NET Core MVC and Razor Pages Refactor and clean up your codebase to make it more maintainable Who This Book Is For .NET developers who work with ASP.NET web applications running on the .NET framework, and tech leads and software architects who make technical decisions about legacy .NET projects used in their organization

Molecular Communications: An Analysis from Networking Theories Perspective
by Yesenia Cevallos Cristian Vacacela Gómez Luis Tello-Oquendo 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.

Molecular Computing
by Nicholas G. RambidiThe question whether molecular primitives can prove to be real alternatives to contemporary semiconductor means or effective supplements extending greatly possibilities of information technologies is addressed. Molecular primitives and circuitry for information processing devices are also discussed. Investigations in molecular based computing devices were initiated in the early 1970s in the hopes for an increase in the integration level and processing speed. Real progress proved unfeasible into the 1980´s. However, recently, important and promising results were achieved. The elaboration of operational 160-kilobit molecular electronic memory patterned 1011 bits per square centimeter in the end of 90´s were the first timid steps of information processing further development. Subsequent advances beyond these developments are presented and discussed. This work provides useful knowledge to anyone working in molecular based information processing.

MartinsThis book collects the revised selected proceedings of the First International Symposium in Molecular Logic and Computational Synthetic Biology ( MLCSB), held in Chile, Santiago, in December 2018. The volume contains 7 full revised papers along with 2 surveys from 19 submissions presented at the symposium. One of the goals of the MLCSB 2018 was to explore the potential of molecular logic frameworks to study the emerging behavioural patterns in biological networks, combining discrete, continuous and stochastic features, and resorting both to specific or general-purpose analysis and verification techniques.

Molecular Simulation Investigations of Property Degradation in CFRP Composite
by Lik-ho Tam Ruidong Wu Jia-ao Hou Chao WuThis book is written by a group of researchers based on the recent research progress in the fiber/matrix interface degradation under various environmental exposures via molecular dynamics simulation. It provides systematic framework of the model development, simulation techniques, and simulation results and presents the future research directions for investigating the interfacial degradation. By introducing the molecular details of fiber/matrix interface under environmental effects, it advances the fundamental understanding of the interfacial degradation mechanism. Researchers, scientists and engineers in the field of civil engineering and composite materials can benefit from the book. In conclusion, this book provides a computational paradigm and valuable insights on the fundamental interfacial degradation mechanism, which can contribute to the prediction of long-term behavior of fiber-reinforced polymer composites in harsh environments and pave the way for the material design with stronger interface.
