It has been my great privilege to study under Dr. M.M. Wintrobe's tutelage for three years and to be asked later, as one of five former fellows, to contribute as writer and editor of the seventh through twelfth editions of Wintrobe's Clinical Hematology. In the process, we taught a generation of...
The Intel Edison is a crowning achievement of Intel's adaptation of its technology into maker-friendly products. They've packed the dual-core power of the Atom CPU, combined it with a sideboard microcontroller brain, and added in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and a generous amount of RAM (1GB) and flash storage (4GB). This...
If you want to learn how to program, working with Python is an excellent way to start. This hands-on guide takes you through the language a step at a time, beginning with basic programming concepts before moving on to functions, recursion, data structures, and object-oriented design. This second edition and its supporting code have...
Solve machine learning problems using probabilistic graphical models implemented in Python with real-world applications
About This Book
Stretch the limits of machine learning by learning how graphical models provide an insight on particular problems, especially in high dimension areas such as image...
From news and speeches to informal chatter on social media, natural language is one of the richest and most underutilized sources of data. Not only does it come in a constant stream, always changing and adapting in context; it also contains information that is not conveyed by traditional data sources. The key to unlocking natural...
Mathematical models have become a crucial way for the Earth scientist to understand and predict how our planet functions and evolves through time and space. The finite element method (FEM) is a remarkably flexible and powerful tool with enormous potential in the Earth Sciences. This pragmatic guide explores how a variety of different Earth...
Up to this point in your career you have been asked to use mathematics to solve
rather elementary problems in the physical sciences. However, when you graduate
and become a working scientist or engineer you will often be confronted with
complex real-world problems. Understanding the material in this book is a first
step toward...
Enzyme kinetics, binding kinetics and pharmacological dose-response curves are currently analyzed by a few standard methods. Some of these, like Michaelis-Menten enzyme kinetics, use plausible approximations, others, like Hill equations for dose-response curves, are outdated. Calculating realistic reaction schemes requires numerical...
