    Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (BCB) combine elements of computer science, information technology, mathematics, statistics, and biotechnology, providing the methodology and in silico solutions to mine biological data and processes, for knowledge discovery.In the era of molecular diagnostics, targeted drug design, translational medicine and Big Data for personalized medicine, computational methods for data analysis are essential tools for biochemistry, biology, biotechnology, pharmacology, biomedical and computer science, as well as mathematics and statistics. New areas are emerging, and relatively isolated fields are becoming current hot research areas in BCB, such as Artificial Intelligence, Quantitative Biology, Computational Vaccinology, Epidemiology and Infection Diffusion, Synthetic Biology, and Phenomics. The role of BCB in characterizing SARS-CoV-2 variants and facing the COVID-19 pandemic is just one example of how these tools can help us better prepare for such future events.This Encyclopedia comprises three sections, covering Methods, Topics, and Applications. The methodologies and algorithms underpinning BCB are described in the Methods section; Topics covers traditional areas such as phylogeny, as well as more recent areas such as translational bioinformatics, cheminformatics and environmental informatics; Applications provides guidance for commonly asked “how to” questions.Navigating the maze of confusing jargon and the plethora of software tools is often confronting for students and researchers alike. This comprehensive and unique resource provides up-to-date theory and application content to address molecular data analysis requirements, with precise definitions of terminology and lucid explanations by field experts.

    • Inglés
    The UX Book: Agile Design for a Quality User Experience, Third Edition, takes a practical, applied, hands-on approach to UX design based on the application of established and emerging best practices, principles, and proven methods to ensure a quality user experience. The approach is about practice, drawing on the creative concepts of design exploration and visioning to make designs that appeal to the emotions of users, while moving toward processes that are lightweight, rapid, and agile—to make things as good as resources permit and to value time and other resources in the process.Designed as a textbook for aspiring students and a how-to handbook and field guide for UX professionals, the book is accompanied by in-class exercises and team projects.The approach is practical rather than formal or theoretical. The primary goal is to imbue an understanding of what a good user experience is and how to achieve it. To better serve this, processes, methods, and techniques are introduced early to establish process-related concepts as context for discussion in later chapters.

  • Quantum Process Algebra

    • Yong Wang
    • Inglés
    Quantum Process Algebra introduces readers to the algebraic properties and laws for quantum computing. The book provides readers with all aspects of algebraic theory for quantum computing, including the basis of semantics and axiomatization for quantum computing. With the assumption of a quantum system, readers will learn to solve the modeling of the three main components in a quantum system: the unitary operator, quantum measurement, and quantum entanglement, with full support of quantum and classical computing in closed systems. Next, the book establishes the relationship between probabilistic quantum bisimilarity and classical probabilistic bisimilarity, including strong probabilistic bisimilarity and weak probabilistic bisimilarity, which makes an axiomatization of quantum processes possible. With this framework, quantum and classical computing mixed processes are unified with the same structured operational semantics. Finally, the book establishes a series of axiomatizations of quantum process algebras. These process algebras support nearly all the main computation properties. Quantum and classical computing in closed quantum systems are unified with the same equational logic and the same structured operational semantics under the framework of ACP-like probabilistic process algebra. This unification means that the mathematics in the book can be used widely for verification of quantum and classical computing mixed systems, for example, most quantum communication protocols. ACP-like axiomatization also inherits the advantages of ACP, for example, and modularity means that it can be extended in an elegant way.

  • Probability for Deep Learning Quantum

    A Many-Sorted Algebra View
    • 1 Edición
    • Charles R. Giardina
    • Inglés
    Probability for Deep Learning Quantum provides readers with the first book to address probabilistic methods in the deep learning environment and the quantum technological area simultaneously, by using a common platform: the Many-Sorted Algebra (MSA) view. While machine learning is created with a foundation of probability, probability is at the heart of quantum physics as well. It is the cornerstone in quantum applications. These applications include quantum measuring, quantum information theory, quantum communication theory, quantum sensing, quantum signal processing, quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum machine learning. Although some of the probabilistic methods differ in machine learning disciplines from those in the quantum technologies, many techniques are very similar.Probability is introduced in the text rigorously, in Komogorov’s vision. It is however, slightly modified by developing the theory in a Many-Sorted Algebra setting. This algebraic construct is also used in showing the shared structures underlying much of both machine learning and quantum theory. Both deep learning and quantum technologies have several probabilistic and stochastic methods in common. These methods are described and illustrated using numerous examples within the text. Concepts in entropy are provided from a Shannon as well as a von-Neumann view. Singular value decomposition is applied in machine learning as a basic tool and presented in the Schmidt decomposition. Besides the in-common methods, Born’s rule as well as positive operator valued measures are described and illustrated, along with quasi-probabilities. Author Charles R. Giardina provides clear and concise explanations, accompanied by insightful and thought-provoking visualizations, to deepen your understanding and enable you to apply the concepts to real-world scenarios.

    Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis: Stepwise Approach for Medical and Biomedical Researchers presents a step-by-step approach to develop systematic reviews and meta-analysis for biomedical and medical research. Systematic reviews are the highest quality evidence in medical research, providing an answer to a specific question, and they can be developed in the form of comprehensive literature search, critical appraisal, and synthesis of the evidence. Systematic reviews and meta-analysis are key elements of evidence-based medicine by summarizing the results of previous studies with the use of specific and reliable methods.Initially, systematic review and meta-analysis were exclusive to clinical trials, however systematic reviews of observational and diagnostic studies have expanded, making it essential for members of the field to master those techniques. This practical reference is a valuable resource for biostaticians, researchers, students, and members of medical and biomedical fields who need to understand more about systematic reviews and meta-analysis in their research work.
