The book project was launched to access the latest research related to chaos applications in intelligent computing where researchers from all over the world provide the necessary coverage of the mentioned field. The primary objective of this project was to assemble as much research coverage as possible related to the field by defining the latest innovative technologies and providing the most comprehensive list of research references. The coverage of this book provides strength to this reference resource for both researchers and also decision makers in obtaining a greater understanding of...

Fuzzy Logic in Action: Applications in Epidemiology and Beyond, co-authored by Eduardo Massad, Neli Ortega, Laecio Barros, and Claudio Struchiner is a remarkable achievement. The book brings a major paradigm shift to medical sciences exploring the use of fuzzy sets in epidemiology and medical diagnosis arena. The volume addresses the most significant topics in the broad areas of epidemiology, mathematical modeling and uncertainty, embodying them within the framework of fuzzy set and dynamic systems theory.

Written by leading contributors to the area of epidemiology, medical informatics...

This book contains extended versions of select papers from the International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems, ICIUS 2007. It presents theories and applications that address the current and future challenges in the area of unmanned systems.

This book updates the knowledge that we have accumulated over the last couple of decades on yeast research. The yeasts are eukaryotic unicellular microfungi that are widely distributed in the natural environment, and can also be found in more specialized or extreme environments, such as low temperatures, low oxygen availabilities and water potential. Approximately 1500 species of yeasts belonging to over 100 genera have been described so far. Although the vast majority of yeasts are beneficial to human life, only a few are opportunistic human pathogens. Yeasts play an important role in the...

This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the main fundamental problems of concern to developers of middleware for mobile environments. Each chapter is structured as a self-contained tutorial presenting an overview of a specific topic.

1. A self-contained introduction to probability, exchangeability and Bayes rule provides a theoretical understanding of the applied material.

2. Numerous examples with R-code that can be run "as-is" allow the reader to perform the data analyses themselves.

3. The development of Monte Carlo and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods in the context of data analysis examples provides motivation for these computational methods.

Grids are a crucial enabling technology for scientific and industrial development. Grid and Services Evolution, the 11^th edited volume of the CoreGRID series, was based on The CoreGRID Middleware Workshop, held in Barcelona, Spain, June 5-6, 2008.

Grid and Services Evolution provides a bridge between the application community and the developers of middleware services, especially in terms of parallel computing. This edited volume brings together a critical mass of well-established researchers worldwide, from forty-two institutions active...

Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology attempts to provide concise, critical reviews of timely advances, philosophy and significant areas of accomplished or needed endeavor in the total field of xenobiotics, in any segment of the environment, as well as toxicological implications.

During the early modern era (c. 1600-1800), philosophers formulated a number of new questions, methods of investigation, and theories regarding the nature of the mind. The result of their efforts has been described as the original cognitive revolution . Topics in Early Modern Philosophy of Mind provides a comprehensive snapshot of this exciting period in the history of thinking about the mind, presenting studies of a wide array of philosophers and topics. Written by some of today s foremost authorities on early modern philosophy, the ten chapters address issues ranging from those...

Failure Rate Modeling for Reliability and Risk focuses on reliability theory and, specifically, to the failure rate (the hazard rate, the force of mortality) modeling and its generalizations to systems operating in a random environment and to repairable systems. The failure rate is one of the crucial probabilistic characteristics for a number of disciplines; including reliability, survival analysis, risk analysis and demography.

Failure Rate Modeling for Reliability and Risk presents a systematic study of the failure rate and related indices, and covers a number of...

Advances in Mathematical Economics is a publication of the Research Center for Mathematical Economics, which was founded in 1997 as an international scientific association that aims to promote research activities in mathematical economics.

Our publication was launched to realize our long-term goal of bringing together those mathematicians who are seriously interested in obtaining new challenging stimuli from economic theories and those economists who are seeking effective mathematical tools for their research.

The scope of Advances in Mathematical Economics includes, but is...

This is a book designed with the teacher educator in mind. It provides in depth examination of specific methods used effectively in self-study research. The chapters are written by researchers engaged in self-study of their practice.
