"Kernel Based Algorithms for Mining Huge Data Sets" is the first book treating the fields of supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised machine learning collectively. The book presents both the theory and the algorithms for mining huge data sets by using support vector machines (SVMs) in an iterative way. It demonstrates how kernel...
Neuroimmunology is one of the most rapidly developing branches of Neurobiology, prompted by novel neurochemical, neuroendocrinological, and neurophysiological investigations of the central and peripheral nervous system including neuroendocrine systems. Neuroimmunology can be considered as an interdisciplinary science that covers relevant...
The World Soft Computing (WSC) conference is an annual international
online conference on applied and theoretical soft computing technology. This
WSC 2008 is the thirteenth conference in this series and it has been a great
success.
We received a lot of excellent paper submissions which were peer-reviewed
by an international...
Current applications and recent advances in genomics and proteomics
Genomics and Proteomics Engineering in Medicine and Biology presents a well-rounded, interdisciplinary discussion of a topic that is at the cutting edge of both molecular biology and bioengineering. Compiling contributions by established experts, this...
Surely some—indeed, perhaps, many—people would argue about when precisely the era of the genetics of diseases really began, but the introduction of gene transfer and therapy concepts in the 1980s by French Anderson and colleagues from the National Institutes of the Health, the identification of the cystic fibrosis gene reported in...
Dominic Gettins spent many years writing copy and training others to do so. Here, he clearly demonstrates his ability to get his message across and shows readers how to do the same.
While people who write about marketing usually get on with it fairly sensibly, those who write about creativity often employ the uplifting style and...
(Digital Press) Draws upon Compaq Computer Corporation's breakthroughs with OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX to explain how the COM standard can help organizations integrate their applications and heterogeneous computer systems. Details the APIs, utilities, libraries, and run-time environments. Softcover. DLC: COM (Computer architecture).
This volume provides a summary review of all recently published and ongoing research initiatives related to Tourette Syndrome. The latest research is presented in a clinical context, and controversial issues are fully discussed using an evidence-based approach. These issues include the prevalence of TS, the nature of the TS...
Maintaining extracellular calcium concentrations within a narrow range is critical for the survival of most vertebrates. PTH, together with vitamin D, responds to hypocalcemia to increase extracellular calcium levels, by acting on bone, kidney and intestine. The recent introduction of PTH as a major therapeutic agent in...
In many decision support fields the data that is exploited tends to be more and more complex. To take this phenomenon into account, classical architectures of data warehouses or data mining algorithms must be completely re-evaluated.
Processing and Managing Complex Data for Decision Support provides readers with an overview of the emerging...
In the last decade, the delineation of the human genome and the development of high throughput genomics and proteomics have transformed the practice of Pediatrics. The study of normal childhood growth and development, and pediatric diseases now focuses on the delineation of normal and abnormal gene expression, resultant cellular and organ...
This concise guidebook consolidates the main concepts of the cancer gene theory, and provides a framework for understanding the genetic basis of cancer. Focused on the most highly representative genes that underlie the most common cancers, the book is aimed at advanced undergraduates who have completed introductory courses in genetics,...
