简介：Deformable Models: Biomedical and Clinical Applications is the first entry in the two-volume set which provides a wide cross-section of the methods and algorithms of variational and Partial-Differential Equations (PDE) methods in biomedical image analysis. The chapters of Deformable Models: Biomedical and Clinical Applications are written by the well-known researchers in this field, and the presentation style goes beyond an intricate abstraction of the theory into real application of the methods and description of the algorithms that were implemented. As such these chapters will serve the main goal of the editors of these two volumes in bringing down to earth the latest in variational and PDE methods in modeling of soft tissues. Overall, the chapters in the first volume provide an elegant cross-section of the theory and application of variational and PDE approaches in medical image analysis. This volume introduces, discusses, and provides solutions for problems ranging from structural inversion to models for cardiac segmentation, and other applications in medical image analysis. Graduate students and researchers at various levels of familiarity with these techniques will find the volume very useful for understanding the theory and algorithmic implementations. In addition, the various case studies provided demonstrate the power of these techniques in clinical applications. Researchers at various levels will find these chapters useful to understand the theory, algorithms, and implementation of many of these approaches.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Written for students and researchers in the field of ecology, this textbook describes the computer models that have been created in the last few years that can be applied to classic environmental problems first discussed in the 1970s. Editors J酶rgensen (pharmaceutics and analytical chemistry, The U. of Pharmaceutical Science, Denmark), Chon (biology, Pusan National U., Korea) and Recknagel (ecology and evolutionary biology, U. of Adelaide, Australia) have collected research from the field to describe ecological modeling and informatics that have been developed and applied to modern environmental management in the 21st century. A CD-ROM is included that contains 12 different network calculation models and three additional software applications that can be used to develop new models. Annotation 漏2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 The book gives a comprehensive overview of all available types of ecological models. It is the first book of its kind that gives an overview of different model types and will be of interest to all those involved in ecological and environmental modelling and ecological informatics.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Incorporating work from 178 contributors affiliated with 43 centers in nine countries, editors Mundt and Roeske (both: radiation and cellular oncology, U. of Chicago) begin this text with the fundamentals, giving an in-depth overview of the physics, biology, and medicine pertaining to this rapidly developing therapy. Following is a systematic exploration of the steps and technologies for planning, delivery, and clinical implementation; an overview of commercially available inverse planning and delivery systems; and an overview of the application of IMRT in all clinical sites. Each disease is presented in detail, along with considerations in treatment planning and review of published IMRT literature. Overview chapters are paired with case studies--each dealing with simulation, immobilization, target delineation, plan optimization and delivery, and quality assurance of an actual patient. Finally, the book concludes with commentaries on proton IMRT, the combination of IMRT and biological modifiers and the pros and cons of IMRT. The included CD-ROM includes the text and illustrations of the book in searchable PDF format. Annotation 漏2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

简介：Avid Editing is a comprehensive guide covering nonlinear editing on the Avid Xpress DV, Avid Media Composer, and Avid Xpress on both Windows and Macintosh platforms. Suitable for beginning or experienced editors new to Avid, the book provides step-by-step instructions for hundreds of editing tasks in jargon-free terms. The chapters are organized in a logical progression that will help the beginner to master the material, while providing the intermediate user with a thorough review of techniques as well as important new information. This new edition has been expanded and now includes a chapter on 16:9 Widescreen Editing, explaining how Avid can help the reader create material for current and future widescreen television formats. Also new is the chapter on Script Integration, a powerful tool now available on almost all of Avid's products. The accompanying DVD contains all the video and audio clips you'll need to edit two dramatic scenes: "Wanna Trade" and "Gaffer's Delight." The first is the easier of the two projects and is designed to get the reader editing by the first chapter. The second is a more complex scene, shot in the 16:9 widescreen format, and it gives the reader hands-on practice with widescreen editing and script integration. A shooting script is also included on the DVD. Book jacket.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The 28 chapters presented by in this medical text on breast cancer diagnostic imaging by its editors (both fellows of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering) "focuses on the application of computer vision for lesion identification in mammograms and breast imaging volumes called computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) and computer-aided detection (CADx)." Opening chapters present the anatomic, histopathology, and mammographic views of the breasts and describe the physics of different breast imaging modalities. These are followed by discussion of the techniques for lesion detection and mass detection through CAD. Applications of different computer vision fields in breast-image registration are then described. Finally, performance evaluation for breast CAD techniques is covered.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 The editors of this book are affiliated with Cellumen, Inc. and Cellomics, Inc., the latter being the company that developed high contact screening (HCS), the high-throughput platform in discovery-driven research and development to analyze the functions of genes and gene products at the level of the cell. Current users and investigators considering implementing HCS in research and development are the intended audience of the 31 contributions, which discuss instrumentation, application software, reagents, and informatics as related to HCS. Some chapters comprise pure review on key topics, while others more specifically treat a method in HCS. Specific topics include: a pharmaceutical company user's perspective on the potential of HCS in drug discovery, characteristics and value of machine learning for imaging in HCS, and discovery of protein kinase phosphates inhibitors. Annotation 漏2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 High content screening (HCS) was developed by Cellomics Inc. in the mid-1990s to address the need for a platform that could be used in the discovery-driven research and development required to understand the functions of genes and gene products at the level of the cell. High Content Screening: A Powerful Approach to Systems Cell Biology and Drug Discovery discusses its use as a high throughput platform to understand the functions of genes, RNA, proteins, and other cellular constituents at the level of the living cell.High Content Screening is assembled to assist both existing users of HCS, as well as investigators considering the addition of a discovery-driven platform to their research and development activities. The chapters have been organized into sections that highlight the importance of integrating instrumentation, application software, reagents, and informatics. In addition, there is a combination of pure review chapters on key topics and specific methods chapters. Written by a team of world leaders in the field, High Content Screening is essential reading for senior scientists, advanced lab technicians, as well as students/post-docs who wish to apply HCS in their research and development programs.
