Giving a broad perspective of the field from numerous vantage points, Text Mining focuses on statistical methods for text mining and analysis. It examines methods to automatically cluster and classify text documents and applies these methods in a variety of areas, including adaptive information filtering, information distillation, and text search. The book begins with the classification of documents into predefined categories and then describes novel methods for clustering documents into groups that are not predefined. It concludes with various text mining applications that have significant implications for future research and industrial use.

A well-rounded resource for those involved with informatics tools useful in disease detection, diagnosis, and treatment, Informatics in Proteomics examines the application of statistical and bioinformatic tools in data analysis, presentation, and mining. It discusses the implementation of algorithms, statistical methods, and computer applications that facilitate pattern recognition and biomarker discovery by integrating data from multiple sources. The book also addresses the infrastructure needed for public protein databases, information management systems and user interfaces, as well as issues surrounding data standardization and integration of protein sequences recorded in the last two decades.

This book begins with an introduction to crystal symmetry and continues with a discussion of lattice dynamics in the harmonic approximation, including the traditional phenomenological approach and the more recent ab initio approach, detailed for the first time in this book. A discussion of anharmonicity is followed by the theory of lattice thermal conductivity, presented at a level far beyond that available in any other book. The chapter on phonon interactions is likewise more comprehensive than any similar discussion elsewhere. The sections on phonons in superlattices, impure and mixed crystals, quasicrystals, phonon spectroscopy, Kapitza resistance, and quantum evaporation also contain material appearing in book form for the first time.
