This book discusses numerous natural compounds that
show promise in the treatment of cancer. It examines
fully what research has told us about them, and it proposes
ways of using them that could significantly increase
their value in cancer treatment beyond what has
previously been demonstrated. To understand the meaning...
When scientists analyze datasets in a search for underlying phenomena, patterns or causal factors, their first step is often an automatic or semi-automatic search for structures in the data. Of these feature-extraction methods, topological ones stand out due to their solid mathematical foundation. Topologically defined structures—as...
