The unprecedented amount of data produced with high-throughput experimentation forces biologists to employ mathematical representation and computation to glean meaningful information in systems-level biology. Applying this approach to the underlying molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis, cancer research is enjoying a series of new discoveries and biological insights. Unique in its dualistic approach, this book introduces the concepts and theories of systems biology and the applications of systems biology in cancer research. It presents basic cancer biology and cutting-edge topics of cancer research for computational biologists alongside systems biology analysis tools for experimental biologists.

Several severe and high-profile outbreaks of food-borne illness linked to the consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) foods have prompted the USDA and FDA to issue stringent rules and regulations governing the manufacturing or RTE foods. This book comprehensively reviews individual common RTE food and their specific safety-related aspects since RTE foods are normally consumed without prior cooking, a step that kills pathogenic microorganisms that may be present in the food products. This text also provides an overview of the microorganisms of concern, the effect of processing on the survival of pathogenic and spoilage microorganisms, food safety, practical control measures, and intervention strategies.

To harness the high-throughput potential of DNA microarray technology, it is crucial that the analysis stages of the process are decoupled from the requirements of operator assistance. This book presents an automatic system for microarray image processing to make this decoupling a reality. The proposed system integrates and extends traditional analytical-based methods and custom-designed novel algorithms. The authors cover many new approaches for processing microarray images, such as novel subgrid detection, feature identification, and graph-cutting techniques. They include details of the algorithmic processes along with an analysis of the processes performance over real-world microarray image data.

Durante los más aciagos días de la revolución cultural china, donde todo sospechoso de conducta inmoral corre el riesgo de ser perseguido, un niño de doce años llamado Love Liu sueña con salir de la mísera región donde vive y ver mundo. Su momento llega cuando se instala en su pueblo un profesor de inglés muy culto. Love Liu, fascinado por ese hombre, se propone aprenderlo todo sobre ese idioma y, a medida que va conociendo a su profesor, se siente atraído por unos ideales que chocan con el rígido ideario que le han inculcado en la escuela.

An authoritative reference for technical information on industrial and hazardous waste treatment, the Handbook of Industrial and Hazardous Wastes Treatment provides broad, comprehensive coverage of basic and advanced principles and applications. It addresses wastes in a variety of industries, covering metal finishing, food processing, milk production, foundries, chemical manufacturing, and more. Including numerous figures, tables, examples, and case histories, the text also explores new methods of clean production and waste minimization and addresses the treatment of landfills and underground storage tanks.

This book presents solutions to missing data problems through explicit or noniterative sampling calculation of Bayesian posteriors, based on the inverse Bayes formulae. The authors focus on exact numerical solutions, a conditional sampling approach via data augmentation, and a noniterative sampling approach via EM-type algorithms. They describe Monte Carlo simulation, numerical techniques, and optimization methods. The book illustrates the methods with biostatistical models and real-world applications, including mixed effects and hierarchical models, nonresponse and contingency tables, and the constrained parameter problem reformulated as a missing data problem.
