This book presents some of the most recent research results in the area of machine learning and robot perception. The book contains eight chapters.
Relevant progress has been done, within the Robotics field, in mechanical systems, actuators, control and planning. This fact, allows a wide application of industrial robots, where...
Delve into the principles of ITIL® and DevOps and examine the similarities and differences. This book re-engineers the ITIL framework to work in DevOps projects without changing its meaning and its original objectives, making it fit for purpose for use in DevOps...
Get up to speed with the deep learning concepts of Pytorch using a problem-solution approach. Starting with an introduction to PyTorch, you'll get familiarized with tensors, a type of data structure used to calculate arithmetic operations and also learn how they operate. You will then take a look...
The existence of multiple sulfotransferases (SULTS) was first discovered in 1958. Since then, any attempts to create a comprehensive text dedicated to sulfation and sulfotransferases have been rare and, thanks to rapid advances in molecular biology and biochemistry, quickly outdated. However, those advances have permitted an accelerated...
Over the past three decades the field of immunotoxicology, the study of
the effects of exposure to drugs, chemicals, or physical/environmental agents
on the structure and function of the immune system has benefited from an
increasingly detailed understanding of the cellular and molecular basis of
innate and acquired immunity....
Everyone relies on the power of computers, including chemical
and pharmaceutical laboratories. Increasingly faster and more exact
simulation algorithms have made quantum chemistry a valuable
tool in the search for bioactive substances. The much larger
computational cost is more than compensated by a deeper understanding
of...
Beginning C for Arduino is written for those who have no prior experience with microcontrollers or programming but would like to experiment and learn both. This book introduces you to the C programming language, reinforcing each programming structure with a simple demonstration of how you can use C to control the Arduino...
Since the first attempts to model proteins on a computer began almost thirty years ago, our understanding of protein structure and dynamics has dramatically increased. Spectroscopic measurement techniques continue to improve in resolution and sensitivity, allowing a wealth of information to be obtained with regard to the kinetics of protein...
The history of medicine has been substantially defined by a small number of monumental
discoveries. Most of these breakthroughs have emerged from the biological sciences. One of
the first great breakthroughs was the recognition by Koch in 1884 that pathogens could be
transmitted from one living organism to another to cause disease....
The mechanisms of disease production by infectious agents are presently
the focus of an unprecedented flowering of studies. The field has undoubtedly
received impetus from the considerable advances recently made in the
understanding of the structure, biochemistry, and biology of viruses, bacteria,
fungi, and other parasites....
This textbook is a dynamic exploration of the relationship between the visual pathway and visual field impairments. Aimed at the practitioner or student of visual fields, the clinical focus of the book is oriented towards differential diagnosis and will assist the reader in identifying the site of a lesion. The emphasis is on detection and...
This book is devoted to the current problems of biochemistry of inorganic polyphosphates
(PolyPs), linear polymers of orthophosphoric acid, which are important regulatory biopolymers
widespread in living organisms. The great progress in the field of PolyP biochemistry
over the last 15 to 20 years has contributed much to the...
