Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: From Genes to Patients (Contemporary Clinical Neuroscience)

Humana Press, 2005

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurobehavioral disorder affecting 5–10% of children and adolescents and 3% of adults. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: From Genes to Patients aims to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art overview of the critical aspects of ADHD, and hopefully will serve as...

Prediction of Protein Structures, Functions, and Interactions

John Wiley & Sons, 2009

The growing flood of new experimental data generated by genome sequencing has provided an impetus for the development of automated methods for predicting the functions of proteins that have been deduced by sequence analysis and lack experimental characterization.

Prediction of Protein Structures, Functions and Interactions presents...

Bioinformatics: The Machine Learning Approach, Second Edition (Adaptive Computation and Machine Learning)

MIT Press, 2001

We have been very pleased, beyond our expectations, with the reception of the first edition of this book. Bioinformatics, however, continues to evolve very rapidly, hence the need for a new edition. In the past three years, fullgenome sequencing has blossomed with the completion of the sequence of the fly and the first draft of the...

Bioinformatics: Problem Solving Paradigms

Springer, 2008

There are fundamental principles for problem analysis and algorithm design that are continuously used in bioinformatics. This book concentrates on a clear presentation of these principles, presenting them in a self-contained, mathematically clear and precise manner, and illustrating them with lots of case studies from main fields of bioinformatics...

Bioinformatics: High Performance Parallel Computer Architectures (Embedded Multi-Core Systems)

CRC Press, 2010

New sequencing technologies have broken many experimental barriers to genome scale sequencing, leading to the extraction of huge quantities of sequence data. This expansion of biological databases established the need for new ways to harness and apply the astounding amount of available genomic information and convert it into substantive...

Acting in an Uncertain World: An Essay on Technical Democracy (Inside Technology)

MIT Press, 2009

Controversies over such issues as nuclear waste, genetically modified organisms, asbestos, tobacco, gene therapy, avian flu, and cell phone towers arise almost daily as rapid scientific and technological advances create uncertainty and bring about unforeseen concerns. The authors of Acting in an Uncertain World argue that political...

Bioinformatics: A Practical Guide to the Analysis of Genes and Proteins, Second Edition

John Wiley & Sons, 2001

"In this book, Andy Baxevanis and Francis Ouellette . . . have undertaken the difficult task of organizing the knowledge in this field in a logical progression and presenting it in a digestible form. And they have done an excellent job. This fine text will make a major impact on biological research and, in turn, on progress in biomedicine. We...

Bioinformatics: Tools and Applications

Springer, 2009

Biology has progressed tremendously in the last decade due in part to the increased automation in the generation of data from sequences to genotypes to phenotypes. Biology is now very much an information science, and bioinformatics provides the means to connect biological data to hypotheses. Within this volume, we have collated...

Yeast as a Tool in Cancer Research

Springer, 2007

Leland H. Hartwell Director, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Nobel Laureate for Medicine, 2001 Yeast has proved to be the most useful single-celled organism for studying the fundamental aspects of cell biology. Resources are now available for yeast that greatly simplify and empower new investigations, like the presence of strains with...

Supervised and Unsupervised Ensemble Methods and their Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2008

The rapidly growing amount of data, available from different technologies in the field of bio-sciences, high-energy physics, economy, climate analysis, and in several other scientific disciplines, requires a new generation of machine learning and statistical methods to deal with their complexity and heterogeneity. As data collections becomes...

Digital Dice: Computational Solutions to Practical Probability Problems

Princeton Press, 2008

"Paul Nahin's Digital Dice is a marvelous book, one that is even better than his Duelling Idiots. Nahin presents twenty-one great probability problems, from George Gamow's famous elevator paradox (as corrected by Donald Knuth) to a bewildering puzzle involving two rolls of toilet paper, and he solves them all with the aid...

Intracranial Tumors: Diagnosis and Treatment

CRC Press, 2001

Brain tumors have a longstanding reputation for being intractable to therapy, and with evidence suggesting that the incidence of some brain tumors is increasing, this has become the most feared cancer. However, with improvements in imaging technologies, radiation therapy and chemotherapy , as well as a greater knowledge of the genetic causes...
