Cancer continues to be a growing problem as it is the foremost
cause of death worldwide, killing millions of people each year. The
number of people battling cancer continues to increase, owing to
different reasons, such as lifestyle choices. Clinically,
determining the cause of cancer is very challenging and often
inaccurate. Incorporating efficient and accurate algorithms to
detect cancer cases is becoming increasingly beneficial for
scientists in computer science and healthcare, as well as a
long-term benefit for doctors, patients, clinic practitioners, and
more. Specifically, an automation of computation in machine
learning could be a solution in the next generation of big data
science technology. Machine Learning in Cancer Research With
Applications in Colon Cancer and Big Data Analysis presents
algorithms that have been developed to evaluate big data approaches
and cancer research. The chapters include artificial intelligence
and machine learning approaches, as well as case studies to solve
the predictive issues in colon cancer research. This book includes
concepts and techniques used to run tasks in an automated manner
with the intent to improve better accuracy in comparison with
previous studies and methods. This book also covers the processes
of research design, development, and outcome analytics in this
field. Doctors, IT consultants, IT specialists, medical software
professionals, data scientists, researchers, computer scientists,
healthcare practitioners, academicians, and students can benefit
from this critical resource.

In the past two decades, the field of nanoporous materials has
undergone significant developments. As these materials possess high
specific surface areas, well-defined pore sizes, and functional
sites, they show a great diversity of applications such as
molecular adsorption/storage and separation, sensing, catalysis,
energy storage and conversion, drug delivery, and more. Nanoporous
Materials: Synthesis and Applications surveys the key developments
in the synthesis of nanoporous materials in a broad range from soft
porous materials-such as porous organic and metal-organic
frameworks-to hard porous materials, such as porous metals and
metal oxides, and the significant advances in their applications to
date. Topics Include: Synthetic approaches, characterization
techniques, and applications of a variety of meso- and microporous
polymers and organic frameworks Advances in the synthetic control
of structures along with the function exploration of this new class
of organic porous materials Synthesis and applications of
nanoporous metal-organic frameworks, mesoporous silica, and
nanoporous glass Synthesis of mesoporous carbons by a soft- and
hard-templating method and their applications for supercapacitors

Studies have identified both stability and change in criminal
behavior across time. While most youth mature out of delinquency in
their late teens and early adulthood, some juvenile delinquents
persist in their criminal behavior with increased frequency and
severity. Researchers are often confronted with this question: "Why
will some youth continue their criminal behavior over time, when
the majority of their peers have made the transition to
conformity?'' Based on a longitudinal sample of previously
institutionalized youth, this work examines and tests alternative
perspectives on life course persistent criminal behavior. Findings
of this work highlight several important factors that affect
persistent criminal behavior. Demographic differences in pathways
to persistent criminal behavior, such as gender and race variations
are also discussed. The book is addressed to researchers and
students in Juvenile Delinquency, Criminology and Sociology. It is
also directed towards professionals in Criminal Justice,
Corrections, and Social Work.
