The Troubled Dream of Genetic Medicine: Ethnicity and Innovation in Tay-Sachs, Cystic Fibrosis, and Sickle Cell Disease
The Troubled Dream of Genetic Medicine: Ethnicity and Innovation in Tay-Sachs, Cystic Fibrosis, and Sickle Cell Disease

Why do racial and ethnic controversies become attached, as they often do, to discussions of modern genetics? How do theories about genetic difference become entangled with political debates about cultural and group differences in America? Such issues are a conspicuous part of the histories of three hereditary diseases: Tay-Sachs, commonly...

Evolvable Hardware (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)
Evolvable Hardware (Genetic and Evolutionary Computation)
Evolvable hardware (EHW) refers to hardware whose architecture/structure and functions change dynamically and autonomously in order to improve its performance in carrying out tasks. The emergence of this field has been profoundly influenced by the progress in reconfigurable hardware and evolutionary computation. Traditional hardware can be...
Data Preparation for Data Mining (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)
Data Preparation for Data Mining (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)
Data Preparation for Data Mining addresses an issue unfortunately ignored by most authorities on data mining: data preparation. Thanks largely to its perceived difficulty, data preparation has traditionally taken a backseat to the more alluring question of how best to extract meaningful knowledge. But without adequate preparation of your...
Vision in Alzheimer's Disease (Interdisciplinary Topics in Gerontology and Geriatrics, Vol. 34)
Vision in Alzheimer's Disease (Interdisciplinary Topics in Gerontology and Geriatrics, Vol. 34)

Visual dysfunction is prevalent in Alzheimer’s disease and in related disorders such as posterior cortical atrophy and Down syndrome. The neuropathology of these disorders affects brain areas that process low-level vision as well as higher-order cognition and attention. This volume spans the range of topics on vision, from structure...

Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies
Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies

Controversy over human evolution remains widespread. However, the human genome project and genetic sequencing of many other species have provided myriad precise and unambiguous genetic markers that establish our evolutionary relationships with other mammals. Human Evolution: Genes, Genealogies and Phylogenies identifies and explains these...

Fuzzy Logic: A Practical Approach
Fuzzy Logic: A Practical Approach
The last decade has seen a large interest in technologies that have as their motivation some aspect of human function. Some of these, like artificial intelligence, can be seen to be rooted in the psychological domain. Others, like neural networks, genetic algorithms, and evolutionary programming, are inspired by reconsiderations of biological...
The Moral Challenge of Alzheimer Disease: Ethical Issues from Diagnosis to Dying
The Moral Challenge of Alzheimer Disease: Ethical Issues from Diagnosis to Dying

Society today, writes Stephen Post, is "hypercognitive": it places inordinate emphasis on people's powers of rational thinking and memory. Thus, Alzheimer disease and other dementias, which over an extended period incrementally rob patients of exactly those functions, raise many dilemmas. How are we to view―and...

Neurobiology of Aggression and Rage
Neurobiology of Aggression and Rage

While other books concentrate on the different facets of aggression, these publications tend to focus on a single aspect of the subject and do not make any attempt to integrate biology and behavior. This lack of integration in the literature has created a major gap in our current understanding of the factors that influence aggressive...
