BIG DATA, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DATA ANALYSIS SET Coordinated
by Jacques Janssen Data analysis is a scientific field that
continues to grow enormously, most notably over the last few
decades, following rapid growth within the tech industry, as well
as the wide applicability of computational techniques alongside new
advances in analytic tools. Modeling enables data analysts to
identify relationships, make predictions, and to understand,
interpret and visualize the extracted information more
strategically. This book includes the most recent advances on this
topic, meeting increasing demand from wide circles of the
scientific community. Applied Modeling Techniques and Data Analysis
1 is a collective work by a number of leading scientists, analysts,
engineers, mathematicians and statisticians, working on the front
end of data analysis and modeling applications. The chapters cover
a cross section of current concerns and research interests in the
above scientific areas. The collected material is divided into
appropriate sections to provide the reader with both theoretical
and applied information on data analysis methods, models and
techniques, along with appropriate applications.
Authored by London-based Researcher from Imperial, Exponential
Progress takes readers on a journey through over seven decades of
progress, as technology has shaped and controlled everything from
banking and business to education, medicine, and the very basis of
the human genome. It is a must read for anyone look to learn about
fascinating emerging technologies that will disrupt our lives over
the next ten years. Humanity is progressing towards a world that
will be dominated by the end-results the scientific inventions that
will evolve over the next decade. Technological progress has
accelerated over the past decade - it was slow and buggy at the
beginning, but the rate of improvement is now exponential. The
growth is accelerating faster than we could have ever imagined.
From a business perspective, these ground-breaking technologies are
expected to be the best investments for the next decade. That is
why investors and entrepreneurs are tenacious to grow rapidly. But
where did it all start? How far have we come in the past 70 years
since we developed the first digital computer? Thousands of
innovators are in the process of developing the building blocks of
these technologies, that will radically grow over the next decade
and potentially dominate the century. But now, civilisation has
reached a point when this progress cannot be controlled. The author
cuts to the core of what humanity has achieved since the invention
of the digital computer, where the new jaw-dropping technological
innovation will come from, and where the line is drawn between fact
and fad. This nonfiction meticulously looks back at the history,
analyse current progress and what the researchers have achieved
until now. The author attempts to comprehend the need for
advancement and in parallel, the potential over the next decade,
and reflecting on the necessity of control. If you are interested
in new technologies, this will be one of the best books to read.
Prepared to be mind-blown with the ideas you are going to find.
Farabi, the author of Exponential Progress, is the Head of Research
at IntelXSys(TM) and working as one of the Research Experience
Leads for Clinical Research and Innovation (CRI) module at the
Imperial College London. He has worked with over 100 companies as a
technology consultant and spoken at a number of international
conferences around the world.
Leonhard Euler's Letters to a German Princess: A Milestone in the
History of Physics Textbooks and More is a milestone in the history
of physics textbooks and the instruction of women in the sciences.
It also covers views of its author on epistemology, religion, and
innovations in scientific equipment, including telescopes and
microscopes. Today, 250 years later, we study this work of Euler's
as a foundation for the history of physics teaching and analyze the
letters from an historical and pedagogical point of view.
In Psychotherapy Reflections a psychoanalytically-informed patient
describes his feelings about his therapeutic relationship and
critically examines selected therapy sessions from a nine-month
course of treatment. Many texts about psychotherapy are based
either on patient narratives or on a clinical model. Psychotherapy
Reflections, however, combines patient narrative with probing
insight and dream analysis based on the work of noted dream
researcher Stanley R. Palombo, M.D., who has shown that dreams
serve an information-processing function by matching present and
past experience in determining what information will be filtered
through for storage in permanent memory.
Three-Dimensional Electron Microscopy, Volume 152 in the Methods in
Cell Biology series, highlights new advances in the field, with
this new volume presenting interesting chapters focusing on FIB-SEM
of mouse nervous tissue: fast and slow sample preparation,
Serial-section electron microscopy using ATUM - Automated Tape
collecting Ultra-Microtome, Software for automated acquisition of
electron tomography tilt series, Scanning electron tomography of
biological samples embedded in plastic, Cryo-STEM tomography for
Biology, CryoCARE: Content-aware denoising of cryo-EM images and
tomograms using artificial neural networks, Expedited large-volume
3-D SEM workflows for comparative vertebrate microanatomical
imaging, and many other interesting topics.
Light and Video Microscopy, Third Edition provides a step-by-step
journey through philosophy, psychology and the geometrical and
physical optics involved in interpreting images formed by light
microscopes. The book addresses the intricacies necessary to set up
light microscopes that allow one to visualize transparent specimens
and, in the process, quantitatively determine various
physico-chemical properties of specimens. This updated edition
includes the most recent developments in microscopy, ensuring that
it continues to be the most comprehensive, easy-to-use, and
informative guide on light microscopy. With its presentation of
geometrical optics, it assists the reader in understanding image
formation and light movement within the microscope.
