Computational Neuroscience: A Comprehensive Approach provides a unified treatment of the mathematical theory of the nervous system and presents concrete examples demonstrating how computational techniques can illuminate difficult neuroscience problems. In chapters contributed by top researchers, the book introduces the basic mathematical concepts, then examines modeling at all levels, from single channel and single neuron modeling to neuronal networks and system-level modeling. The emphasis is on models with close ties to experimental observations and data, and the authors review applications of the models to systems such as olfactory bulbs, fly vision, and sensorymotor systems.

The EPA has established regulations that classify four types of disinfection byproducts - TTHMs, haloacetic acids, bromate, and chlorite - and requires that public water systems limit these byproducts to meet specific standards. Most of the information on this subject is only available in journals and conference proceedings. Disinfection Byproducts in Drinking Water: Formation, Analysis, and Control is a practical guide to understanding the formation of disinfection byproducts and shows how they are analyzed and how they can be controlled. Chemists in plants and laboratories will value the analytical techniques offered in the text, and plant engineers will benefit from the formation and control information.
