A Bayesian approach can contribute to an understanding of the brain on multiple levels, by giving normative predictions about how an ideal sensory system should combine prior knowledge and observation, by providing mechanistic interpretation of the dynamic functioning of the brain circuit, and by suggesting optimal ways of deciphering...

Bayesian analysis of complex models based on stochastic processes has in recent years become a growing area. This book provides a unified treatment of Bayesian analysis of models based on stochastic processes, covering the main classes of stochastic processing including modeling, computational, inference, forecasting, decision making and...

This volume collects the edited and reviewed contributions presented in the 5^th iTi Conference in Bertinoro covering fundamental aspects in turbulent flows. In the spirit of the iTi initiative, the volume is produced after the conference so that the authors had the possibility to incorporate comments and discussions raised during...

This textbook is an introduction to Scientific Computing, in which several numerical methods for the computer-based solution of certain classes of mathematical problems are illustrated. The authors show how to compute the zeros or the integrals of continuous functions, solve linear systems, approximate functions using polynomials and...

This book will introduce contributions, both methodological and technical, that have been made and are currently in progress in the field of computational biology as a resource in cancer research and oncology. This volume will illustrate the tools used in this area through a wide range of timely applications in genetics, genomics, and biomedical...

This book helps chemical and other engineers develop their skills for solving mathematical models using Maple. These mathematical models can consist of systems of algebraic, ordinary, and partial differential equations. Maple’s ‘dsolve’ is used to obtain solutions for many of these models. Maple worksheets are provided on the...

Nowadays, it is very common to see people everywhere and at anytime use mobile telecommunications devices, such as cellular/mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), or laptop equipped with wireless connectivity to communicate with the network and access information. This phenomenon, which is generally known as mobile computing is...
