In this time-honored series, the editors have assembled a panel of internationally recognized experts and accomplished a "tour de force" in presenting an overview of the past year’s most salient discoveries in cancer research. They have chosen topics such as angiogenesis, metastasis, polyomavirus persistence, tumor development, and animal models of melanoma. Editors George Vande Woude, PhD, of ...

Feminists and other proponents of engineering diversity often encounter resistance to initiatives and programs intended to increase diversity in engineering. Supporters of diversity often suggest both strategies for attracting underrepresented group members and changes to engineering itself. It is less common for proponents of diversity to directly address the stubborn resistance to diversity t...

Derivative free optimization addresses general nonlinear optimization problems in the cases when obtaining derivative information for the objective and/or the constraint functions is impractical due to computational cost or numerical inaccuracies. Applications of derivative free optimization arise often in engineering design such as circuit tuning, aircraft configuration, water pipe calibration...
