Statistical Modeling and Machine Learning for Molecular Biology

Statistical Modeling and Machine Learning for Molecular Biology

Molecular biologists are performing increasingly large and complicated experiments but often have little background in data analysis. The book is devoted to teaching the statistical and computational techniques molecular biologists need to analyze their data. It explains the big-picture concepts in data analysis using a wide variety of real-world molecular biological examples such as eQTLs ortholog identification motif finding inference of population structure protein fold prediction and many more. The book takes a pragmatic approach focusing on techniques that are based on elegant mathematics yet are the simplest to explain to scientists with little background in computers and statistics. | Statistical Modeling and Machine Learning for Molecular Biology

Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

A good portion of this book has been devoted to the copper-dependent enzymes these being the more numerous. The chapter dealing with serum amine oxidases also focuses attention on their catalytic mechanism as these enzymes have been studied in greater depth. As the presentation of topics whose experimental basis is rapidly developing is likely to stimulate the reader‘s interest many bibliographic references have been included. Readers could find this book poor as far as many topics are dealt with in a relatively little space but we believe it essential to trace the background of our present knowledge in the field of amine oxidases stressing the future outlook of research on these enzymes for they are becoming more and more important in general and medical biochemistry. | Structure and Functions of Amine Oxidases

Discovering Group Theory A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

Discovering Group Theory A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

Discovering Group Theory: A Transition to Advanced Mathematics presents the usual material that is found in a first course on groups and then does a bit more. The book is intended for students who find the kind of reasoning in abstract mathematics courses unfamiliar and need extra support in this transition to advanced mathematics. The book gives a number of examples of groups and subgroups including permutation groups dihedral groups and groups of integer residue classes. The book goes on to study cosets and finishes with the first isomorphism theorem. Very little is assumed as background knowledge on the part of the reader. Some facility in algebraic manipulation is required and a working knowledge of some of the properties of integers such as knowing how to factorize integers into prime factors. The book aims to help students with the transition from concrete to abstract mathematical thinking. | Discovering Group Theory A Transition to Advanced Mathematics

Routledge Handbook on Elections in the Middle East and North Africa

Routledge Handbook on Elections in the Middle East and North Africa

This Handbook analyzes elections in the Middle East and North Africa and seeks to overcome normative assumptions about the linkage between democracy and elections. Structured around five main themes contributors provide chapters detailing how their case studies illustrate specific themes within individual country settings. Authors disentangle the various aspects informing elections as a process in the Middle East by taking into account the different contexts where the electoral contest occurs and placing these into a broader comparative context. The findings from this Handbook connect with global electoral developments empirically demonstrating that there is very little that is “exceptional” about the Middle East and North Africa when it comes to electoral contests. Routledge Handbook on Elections in the Middle East and North Africa is the first book to examine all aspects related to elections in the Middle East and North Africa. Through such comprehensive coverage and systematic analysis it will be a key resource for students and scholars interested in politics elections and democracy in the Middle East and North Africa.

The Invisible Sex Uncovering the True Roles of Women in Prehistory

The Invisible Sex Uncovering the True Roles of Women in Prehistory

Shaped by cartoons and museum dioramas our vision of Paleolithic times tends to feature fur-clad male hunters fearlessly attacking mammoths while timid women hover fearfully behind a boulder. Recent archaeological research has shown that this vision bears little relation to reality. J. M. Adovasio and Olga Soffer two of the world's leading experts on perishable artifacts such as basketry cordage and weaving present an exciting new look at prehistory. With science writer Jake Page they argue that women invented all kinds of critical materials including the clothing necessary for life in colder climates the ropes used to make rafts that enabled long-distance travel by water and nets used for communal hunting. Even more important women played a central role in the development of language and social life in short in our becoming human. In this eye-opening book a new story about women in prehistory emerges with provocative implications for our assumptions about gender today. | The Invisible Sex Uncovering the True Roles of Women in Prehistory

Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Within linguistics there has been a great deal of interest in discourse particles for some time now especially within semantics and pragmatics. The term ‘discourse particles’ has been used to cover a broad range of phenomena including such things as ‘sentence final particles ’ ‘discourse adverbs’ and other related phenomena. However most research in the area (particularly within formal semantics and pragmatics) focuses on a restricted set of languages and there is little consensus on the proper formal treatment of particles partly due to the limited range of data available. In recent years there has been extensive development of the formal approach to discourse particles which often treats these words as devices for marking information update. Also important is the extension of data to non-Western languages like Japanese Korean or Chinese. These volumes are the first to give an exclusive focus on particles in non-European languages (in this case Asian languages) from the perspective of formal as well as non-formal semantics and pragmatics. These volumes include papers on Japanese Mandarin Tagalog Kimaragang Dusun Malay Singlish Thai and Vietnamese. The papers are informed by recent theoretical work in formal semantics and pragmatics relating to the meaning of particles. The collection contributes to our theoretical understanding of the meaning of discourse particles and to empirical knowledge of discourse particles in the languages of Asia. | Discourse Particles in Asian Languages

Human Factors in Lighting

Human Factors in Lighting

The availability of electric lighting has changed the lives of people the world over yet as a major user of electricity it has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This scrutiny has focused largely on the environmental consequences with little consideration of the benefits of lighting. Human Factors in Lighting Third Edition restores some balance to the discussion by examining the ways in which people interact with lighting. These interactions influence the ability to perform visual tasks; the perception of people objects and spaces; human comfort and behavior; as well as human health and safety. It is only by understanding how to use light to achieve these ends that lighting can be provided effectively and efficiently to the benefit of all. See What‘s New in the Third Edition: New chapters on the non-image-forming system lighting for pedestrians light pollution and lighting and electricity use Revision of all other chapters to update them to take into account the advances that have been made in our understanding of the effects of light on people over the last decade Integration of the combined effects of light via the visual and non-image-forming systems on performance and perception The book covers both the visual and the non-visual effects of light on people as well as the benefits of lighting and the costs it imposes on the environment. It details the consequences of exposure to lighting or lighting technology and the role of exposure to light on such basic functions of the body as circadian rhythms. The author combines information from many different sources and integrates them into a coherent overview of lighting practice that can be used to develop better lighting solutions at a lower environmental cost.
