This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the application
of artificial intelligence in social computing, from fundamental
data processing to advanced social network computing. To broaden
readers' understanding of the topics addressed, it includes
extensive data and a large number of charts and references,
covering theories, techniques and applications. It particularly
focuses on data collection, data mining, artificial intelligence
algorithms in social computing, and several key applications of
social computing application, and also discusses network
propagation mechanisms and dynamic analysis, which provide useful
insights into how information is disseminated in online social
networks. This book is intended for readers with a basic knowledge
of advanced mathematics and computer science.

Cross infection is the transmission of an infectious agent from one
person to another because of a poor barrier protection as in
patients and immunocompromised hosts. The most common are
nosocomial cross infections, which are acquired at a hospital or
other healthcare facilities such as outpatient clinics. This book
analyses infection control for healthcare workers, epidemiologists,
administrations and those responsible for infection control
programmes at healthcare facilities. Most carriers of infections
are unaware of their condition and therefore it is important that
prevention of cross-infection routine is adopted for all patients.
The prevention of cross transmission of respiratory viral pathogens
in paediatric cancer patients with conventional chemotherapy is
also explored. Paediatric cancer patients face an increased risk of
potentially life-threatening infectious complications due to their
underlying malignancy and to the adverse effects of intensive
anticancer treatment. This book further delves into the various
aspects of catheter-related infections (CRI) such as diagnosis,
incidence, aetiology, pathogenesis and recommended preventive
measures. Other chapters in this book focus on the newly emerging
CA-MRSA strains which have caused serious community-acquired
infections in otherwise healthy children, an examination of the
pathogenesis and microbial properties that contribute to the
persistence of S aureus in dairy cattle herds, a review of the
multi-drug resistant pathogens that are common in patients with
severe acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
and a discussion of the microbes which cause cross infections and
are resistant to antimicrobial agents, and thus present a challenge
in treatment and prevention.
