This volume presents a collection of peer-reviewed contributions arising from StartUp Research: a stimulating research experience in which twenty-eight early-career researchers collaborated with seven senior international professors in order to develop novel statistical methods for complex brain imaging data. During this meeting, which was held on June 25-27, 2017 in Siena (Italy), the research groups focused on recent multimodality imaging datasets measuring brain function and structure, and proposed a wide variety of methods for network analysis, spatial inference, graphical modeling, multiple testing, dynamic inference, data fusion, tensor factorization, object-oriented analysis and others. The results of their studies are gathered here, along with a final contribution by Michele Guindani and Marina Vannucci that opens new research directions in this field. The book offers a valuable resource for all researchers in Data Science and Neuroscience who are interested in the promising intersections of these two fundamental disciplines.

A hands-on implementation guide to application development in Node.js using the powerful Sequelize ORM Key Features Use the highly powerful JavaScript library to map your database to objects easily Build an application from scratch with easy-to-follow steps and examples Discover industry best practices, tips, and techniques on Sequelize to manage your database with ease Book DescriptionContinuous changes in business requirements can make it difficult for programmers to organize business logic into database models, which turns out to be an expensive operation as changes to the database may result in errors and incongruity within applications. Supercharging Node.js Applications with Sequelize helps you get to grips with Sequelize, a reliable ORM that enables you to alleviate these issues in your database and applications. With Sequelize, you'll no longer need to store information in flat files or memory. This book takes a hands-on approach to implementation and associated methodologies for your database that will have you up and running in no time. You'll learn how to configure Sequelize for your Node.js application properly, develop a better sense of understanding of how this ORM works, and find out how to manage your database from Node.js using Sequelize. Finally, you'll be able to use Sequelize as the database driver for building your application from scratch. By the end of this Node.js book, you'll be able to configure, build, store, retrieve, validate, and associate your data from a database to a Node.js application. What you will learn Configure and optimize Sequelize for your application Validate your database and hydrate it with data Add life cycle events (or hooks) to your application for business logic Organize and ensure the integrity of your data even on preexisting databases Scaffold a database using built-in Sequelize features and tools Discover industry-based best practices, tips, and techniques to simplify your application development Who this book is forThis book is for beginner- to intermediate-level Node.js developers looking to upgrade their skills and use Sequelize as their ORM of choice. Basic knowledge of and prior experience with JavaScript and SQL are needed to make the most out of this book.

Explore the Rust Standard library and compose algorithms with minimal dependency on external libraries Key Features Develop high-quality, fast, and portable applications by leveraging the power of Rust's Standard library. Practical recipes that will help you work with the Standard library to boost your productivity as a Rust developer. Learn about most relevant external crates to be used along with the Standard library. Book DescriptionMozilla's Rust is gaining much attention with amazing features and a powerful library. This book will take you through varied recipes to teach you how to leverage the Standard library to implement efficient solutions. The book begins with a brief look at the basic modules of the Standard library and collections. From here, the recipes will cover packages that support file/directory handling and interaction through parsing. You will learn about packages related to advanced data structures, error handling, and networking. You will also learn to work with futures and experimental nightly features. The book also covers the most relevant external crates in Rust. By the end of the book, you will be proficient at using the Rust Standard library. What you will learn How to use the basic modules of the library: strings, command line access, and more. Implement collections and folding of collections using vectors, Deque, linked lists, and more. Handle various file types , compressing and decompressing data. Search for files with glob patterns. Implement parsing through various formats such as CSV, TOML, and JSON. Utilize drop trait , the Rust version of destructor. Resource locking with Bilocks. Who this book is forThis book is for developers who would like to explore the power of Rust and learn to use the STL for various functionalities. A basic Rust programming knowledge is assumed.
