Nature has solved its most complicated problem, the creation, variation, and improvement
of living organisms, in a simple and efficient manner. Starting from primitive forms in
earth history, mutation and crossover produced variations that had to struggle for their
existence and to compete with their ancestors and genetically...
Written to bridge the information needs of management and computational scientists, this book presents the first comprehensive treatment of Computational Red Teaming (CRT). The author describes an analytics environment that blends human reasoning and computational modeling to design risk-aware and evidence-based smart decision making...
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...
The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to some of the best
techniques for data mining in bioinformatics in the hope that the reader

This book is about the dynamics of complex systems. Roughly speaking, a system is a collection of interacting elements making up a whole such as, for instance, a mechanical clock. While many systems may be quite complicated, they are not necessarily considered to be complex. There is no precise definition of complex systems....
Human interfacing with the environment and with other humans is undoubtedly, fully multimodal. All human senses participate, even if some of then dominate, to the everyday human operations of perception, action and interaction. Interaction with the computer or computer-mediated interaction with others has been based for decades in a limited set of...
