R is a high-level language and an environment for data analysis and graphics. The design of R was heavily influenced by two existing languages: Becker, Chambers and Wilks’ S and Sussman’s Scheme. The resulting language is very similar in appearance to S, but the underlying implementation and semantics are derived from Scheme. This...
A Proven Development Methodology That Delivers On the Promise of Model-Based Approaches
Software continues to become more and more complex, while software consumers’ expectations for performance, reliability, functionality, and speed-to-market are also growing exponentially. H. S. Lahman shows how...
The idea for this second edition came from Janusz Kacprzyk on April 29,
2005, who kindly invited me to his new Springer series, Studies in Computational
Intelligence. The initial plan was to correct the usual typos and mistakes
but leave the book unchanged, as Janusz thought (and I agreed with
him) that it was the proper moment...

This book has originated from lectures on regulation and signal transduction that are
offered to students of biochemistry, biology and chemistry at the University of Bayreuth.
The idea to write a book on signal transduction was born during the preparations
of these lectures where I realized that it is extremely difficult to achieve...
Rabies offers a complete account of one of the oldest known diseases threatening public health today. Unlike most research-oriented descriptions of rabies, this book provides a narrative about the disease and its etiologic agent, encompassing the historical background to recent developments. The emphasis on the basic biology and...
This volume demonstrates the power of the Markov random field (MRF) in vision, treating the MRF both as a tool for modeling image data and, utilizing recently developed algorithms, as a means of making inferences about images. These inferences concern underlying image and scene structure as well as solutions to such problems as image...
The broad range of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) encompasses all areas of modern medicine and have an enormous impact on the process of drug development. Using disease-oriented methods to cover everything from screening to expression and crystallization, G Protein-Coupled Receptors in Drug Discovery describes the physiological...
Computer-Aided Control Systems Design: Practical Applications Using MATLAB® and Simulink® supplies a solid foundation in applied control to help you bridge the gap between control theory and its real-world applications. Working from basic principles, the book delves into control systems...
The interaction between Fuzzy Set theory and Neural Network theory is multi-faceted and occurs at many different levels. The connection between these two concepts occurs both in the framework of real and artificial neural systems.
The brain is not just a collection of neurons grouped together at some part of the animal’s body,...
You can't just buy an automated testing tool and expect to improve your organization's testing process without some real effort, at least that is what the authors of Software Test Automation argue. Written for any test manager or engineer, this practical-minded guide shows the right way to automate testing to bring down costs and improve...
