Bayesian methods are being used more often than ever before in biology and
medicine. For example, at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer
Center, Bayesian sequential stopping rules routinely are used for the design
of clinical trials. This book is based on the author’s experience working with
a variety of...
Mass spectrometry (MS) is fast becoming the premier tool for analyzing various drug metabolism samples in the early phases of drug discovery and research. Introducing the newer, more powerful MS equipment and exploring new applications for using them, this book provides a state-of-the-art look at this promising field.
This book explores the technical issues underlying local area network (LAN) performance, developing mathematical models that readers can apply to their own specific networking requirements.
Providing up-to-date information on practical methods that improve network efficiency, this book covers how to estimate network traffic, determine...
…an indispensable authoritative text by a leading expert in the field….recommended. -Applied Mechanics Reviews, about the first edition

This book is authored to address many challenging topics related to the multi-core embedded systems research area, starting with multi-core architectures and interconnects, embedded design methodologies for multi-core systems, to mapping of applications, programming paradigms and models of computation on multi-core embedded systems.
As technology pushes the Petascale barrier, and the next generation Exascale
Computing requirements are being de ned, it is clear that this type of computational
capacity can be achieved only by accompanying advancement in
communication technology. Next generation computing platforms will consist
of hundreds of thousands of...
The Urban Data Management Society has organised international symposia at various locations throughout Europe since 1971, and UDMS 2013 marks its second visit to London. From its outset, UDMS has highlighted changes and trends in urban data and urban data management. However, the rate of emergence of new data and new technologies has never...
Epigenetics is the study of how certain genes are activated without modification at the DNA sequence level, resulting in genetically similar individuals having different clinical outcomes. As contemporary medicine increasingly aims to personalize the medical approach to a patient's genetic profile, the factors that can affect...
Electrical Engineering Dictionary CRCnetBASE 2000 is a continually updated CDthat provides workable definitions for practicing engineers, serves as a reference and research tool for students, and offers practical information for scientists and engineers in other disciplines. Areas examined include applied electrical engineering, microwave...
Technological advances in hardware and software provide powerful tools with the potential to design interfaces that are powerful and easy to use. Yet, the frustrations and convoluted "work-arounds" often encountered make it clear that there is substantial room for improvement. Drawn from more than 60 years of combined experience...
Urban development and migration from rural to urban areas are impacting prime agricultural land and natural landscapes, particularly in the less developed countries. These phenomena will persist and require serious study by those monitoring global environmental change. To address this need, various models have been devised to analyze urbanization...
Experimental design is often overlooked in the literature of applied and mathematical statistics: statistics is taught and understood as merely a collection of methods for analyzing data. Consequently, experimenters seldom think about optimal design, including prerequisites such as the necessary sample size needed for a precise answer for an...
