Grid Computing in Life Science (Lecture Notes in Bioinformatics, #3370)
Researchers in the ?eld of life sciences rely increasingly on information te- nology to extract and manage relevant knowledge. The complex computational and data management needs of life science research make Grid technologies an attractive support solution. However, many important issues must be addressed before the Life Science Grid becomes commonplace. The 1st International Life Science Grid Workshop (LSGRID 2004) was held in Kanazawa Japan, May 31-June 1, 2004. This workshop focused on life...
Written by a non-computer scientist, this is intended as a practical guide taking the reader from basic concepts to up-to-date research topics in digital image processing. The presentation builds on principles and mathematical tools widely used in the natural sciences. The book discusses the following topics: image acquisition and digitization; linear and non-linear filter operation for the detection of edges, local orientation and texture; fast algorithms on pyramidal and multigrid data structu...
DNA Microarrays, Part B (Methods in Enzymology)
by Alan R Kimmel Brian Oliver
Modern DNA microarray technologies have evolved over the past 25 years to the point where it is now possible to take many million measurements from a single experiment. These two volumes, Parts A & B in the Methods in Enzymology series provide methods that will shepard any molecular biologist through the process of planning, performing, and publishing microarray results. Part A starts with an overview of a number of microarray platforms, both commercial and academically produced and includes w...

Since 1997, scientists of different disciplines sharing a deep interest in concepts and knowledge related to evolutionary biology have held the annual Evolutionary Biology Meetings in Marseille in order to discuss their research and promote collaboration. Lately scientists especially focusing on applications have also joined the group. This book starts with the report of the "12th Evolutionary Biology Meeting", which gives a general idea of the meeting's epistemological stance. This is followed...
The feld of proteomics moves rapidly. New methods, techniques, applications, standards, models and software appear almost on a daily basis. Accompanying this are plenty of texts on the experimental side of the feld and a few appearing on the informatic and data analysis side. This latterly includes one in the Methods in Molecular Biology series tackling the specifc analysis of "Mass spectrometry data in proteomics" in MMB vol. 376. This current collection builds on this, but takes a broader view...

Evolving Connectionist Systems (Perspectives in Neural Computing)
by Nikola K. Kasabov
This second edition of the must-read work in the field presents generic computational models and techniques that can be used for the development of evolving, adaptive modeling systems, as well as new trends including computational neuro-genetic modeling and quantum information processing related to evolving systems. New applications, such as autonomous robots, adaptive artificial life systems and adaptive decision support systems are also covered.
Modeling Protein Evolution and Its Bioinformatics Applications
by Goldstein Richard A
While there are many books available on bioinformatics and on molecular evolution, there are none that adequately address the interaction of these two areas. Filling this gap, this book covers both the fundamentals of evolutionary theory and its application to bioinformatics. It gives readers a broad overview of the nature of molecular evolution, techniques that have been developed for modelling this evolution, tools to interpret biological information in an evolutionary context, and software th...

Unconventional Computation (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, #5715) (Theoretical Computer Science and General Issues, #5204)
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Unconventional Computation, UC 2006, held in York, UK, in September 2006. The 17 revised full papers presented together with four invited full papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. All current aspects of unconventional computation are addressed - theory as well as experiments and applications.
Health Informatics and Medical Systems is a compendium of articles and papers that were presented at HIMS '16, an international conference that serves researchers, scholars, professionals, students, and academicians.
"What joy to discern the minute in in?nity, the vast to perceive in the small, what divinity!" Jacob Bernoulli (1654-1705) in Ars Conjectandi (1713) We are proud to present to you the proceedings of the Sixth International C- ference on Cellular Automata for Research and Industry (ACRI 2004), held in Amsterdam, The Netherlands on October 25-27, 2004.

The book is the outcome of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Sensors and Sensory Systems for Advanced Robots held in Maratea, Italy, in April-May 1986. The focus is on a review of the state of the art and perspectives of sensor technology for robots. In this framework, particular attention is devoted to the study of basic principles and of problems related to the design and fabrication of different types of sensors already used, or potentially usable, for robots. An additional distinctive f...
