Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of compreh- sive and synthetic reviews of the fundamental topics in modern auditory - search. The volumes are aimed at all individuals with interests in hearing research including advanced graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and clinical investigators. The volumes are intended to introduce new investigators to important aspects of hearing science and to help established investigators to better understand the fundamental theories and data in elds of hearing that they may not normally follow closely. Each volume presents a particular topic comprehensively, and each serves as a synthetic overview and guide to the literature. As such, the chapters present neither exhaustive data reviews nor original research that has not yet appeared in peer-reviewed journals. The volumes focus on topics that have developed a solid data and conceptual foundation rather than on those for which a literature is only beginning to develop. New research areas will be covered on a timely basis in the series as they begin to mature.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Computational Genome Analysis: An Introduction presents the foundations of key problems in computational molecular biology and bioinformatics. It focuses on computational and statistical principles applied to genomes, and introduces the mathematics and statistics that are crucial for understanding these applications. The book is appropriate for a one-semester course for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students, and it can also introduce computational biology to computer scientists, mathematicians, or biologists who are extending their interests into this exciting field.This book features:- Topics organized around biological problems, such as sequence alignment and assembly, DNA signals, analysis of gene expression, and human genetic variation- Presentation of fundamentals of probability, statistics, and algorithms- Implementation of computational methods with numerous examples based upon the R statistics package- Extensive descriptions and explanations to complement the analytical development- More than 100 illustrations and diagrams (some in color) to reinforce concepts and present key results from the primary literature- Exercises at the end of chaptersFrom the reviews:'The book is useful for its breadth. An impressive variety of topics are surveyed.' Short Book Reviews of the ISI, June 2006'It is a very good book indeed and I would strongly recommend it both to the student hoping to take this study further and to the general reader who wants to know what computational genome analysis is all about.'

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This monograph focuses on the application of the solution strategy known as branch-and-bound to problems of combinatorial data analysis. Combinatorial data analysis problems typically require either the sel- tion of a subset of objects from a larger (master) set, the grouping of a collection of objects into mutually exclusive and exhaustive subsets, or the sequencing of objects. To obtain verifiably optimal solutions for this class of problems, we must evaluate (either explicitly or implicitly) all feasible solutions. Unfortunately, the number of feasible solutions for problems of combinatorial data analysis grows exponentially with pr- lem size. For this reason, the explicit enumeration and evaluation of all solutions is computationally infeasible for all but the smallest problems. The branch-and-bound solution method is one type of partial enume- tion solution strategy that enables some combinatorial data analysis pr- lems to be solved optimally without explicitly enumerating all feasible solutions. To understand the operation of a branch-and-bound algorithm, we d- tinguish complete solutions from partial solutions. A complete solution is one for which a feasible solution to the optimization problem has been produced (e. g. , all objects are assigned to a group, or all objects are - signed a sequence position). A partial solution is an incomplete solution (e. g. , some objects are not assigned to a group, or some objects are not assigned a sequence position). 222 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -As e-learning increases in popularity and reach, more people are taking online courses and thus need to understand security issues relevant to this topic. Security in E-Learning discusses typical threats to e-learning projects and introduces how these issues have been and should be addressed. This knowledge is essential to conduct a security risk analysis effectively, because participants need to be aware of common threats, protection mechanisms and effort/cost issues. Based on the security risk analysis, appropriate preventive measures are thoroughly discussed in this book.Security in E-Learning is designed for a professional audience composed of researchers and practitioners in industry and IT professionals. This volume is also suitable for upper undergraduate-level and graduate-level students in computer science.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 204 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There is an enormous sense of excitement in the communities of cancer research and cancer care as we move into the middle third of the rst decade of the 21st century. For the rst time,there is a true sense of c- dence that the tools provided by the human genome project will enable cancer researchers to crack the code of genomic abnormalities that allow tumor cells to live within the body and provide highly speci c, virtually non-toxic therapies for the eradication,or at least rm control of human cancers. There is also good reason to hope that these same lines of inquiry will yield better tests for screening, early detection, and prev- tion of progression beyond curability. While these developments provide a legitimate basis for much op- mism, many patients will continue to develop cancers and suffer from their debilitating effects, even as research moves ahead. For these in- viduals, it is imperative that the cancer eld make the best possible use of the tools available to provide present day cancer patients with the best chances for cure, effective palliation, or, at the very least, relief from symptoms caused by acute intercurrent complications of cancer. A modality that has emerged as a very useful approach to at least some of these goals is tumor ablation by the use of physical or physiochemical approaches. 568 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Soon after the laser was invented it became obvious that this new inst- ment, providingvisibleandinfraredradiationwithhighintensitydensity and small divergence, would be a great tool for remote monitoring of atmospheric properties by radar-like methods. The lidar method (li for light instead of ra for radio) is thus practically as old as the laser itself. In the beginning, measurements using light scattering of aerosols and dust particles were at the focus of attention, e.g., for investigating v- ibility or cloud heights. As lasers became more intense, and systems for detecting backscattered light more sensitive, Rayleigh scattering was also studied to allow parameters such as variation of the total air pressure or clear air turbulence to be investigated. Furthermore, Raman scattering allowed limited selective detection of gas constituents of the atmosphere. Increasing sophistication of laser systems made it possible tostudytraceconstituentsoftheatmosphere; thiswasthecaseassoonas frequency-tunablelasersystems, eitherline-tunableorcontinuouslyt- able, became available. This made selective absorption and uorescence accessible for detecting trace constituents with a sensitivity suf ciently high to be useful.
