Introduction to Probability with R

Introduction to Probability with R

Based on a popular course taught by the late Gian-Carlo Rota of MIT with many new topics covered as well Introduction to Probability with R presents R programs and animations to provide an intuitive yet rigorous understanding of how to model natural phenomena from a probabilistic point of view. Although the R programs are small in length they are just as sophisticated and powerful as longer programs in other languages. This brevity makes it easy for students to become proficient in R. This calculus-based introduction organizes the material around key themes. One of the most important themes centers on viewing probability as a way to look at the world helping students think and reason probabilistically. The text also shows how to combine and link stochastic processes to form more complex processes that are better models of natural phenomena. In addition it presents a unified treatment of transforms such as Laplace Fourier and z; the foundations of fundamental stochastic processes using entropy and information; and an introduction to Markov chains from various viewpoints. Each chapter includes a short biographical note about a contributor to probability theory exercises and selected answers. The book has an accompanying website with more information.

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Control Basics for Mechatronics

Mechatronics is a mongrel a crossbreed of classic mechanical engineering the relatively young pup of computer science the energetic electrical engineering the pedigree mathematics and the bloodhound of Control Theory. All too many courses in control theory consist of a diet of ‘Everything you could ever need to know about the Laplace Transform’ rather than answering ‘What happens when your servomotor saturates?’ Topics in this book have been selected to answer the questions that the mechatronics student is most likely to raise. That does not mean that the mathematical aspects have been left out far from it. The diet here includes matrices transforms eigenvectors differential equations and even the dreaded z transform. But every effort has been made to relate them to practical experience to make them digestible. They are there for what they can do not to support pages of mathematical rigour that defines their origins. The theme running throughout the book is simulation with simple JavaScript applications that let you experience the dynamics for yourself. There are examples that involve balancing such as a bicycle following a line and a balancing trolley that is similar to a Segway. This can be constructed ‘for real’ with components purchased from the hobby market. | Control Basics for Mechatronics

Perinatal Growth and Nutrition

Perinatal Growth and Nutrition

Preterm infants grow poorly after birth and very commonly develop ex utero growth restriction (EUGR). However the risks and benefits of catch-up growth in preterm infants must be weighed and evidence addressing this warrants examination. Perinatal Growth and Nutrition explores the reasons for EUGR and the long-term effects on developmental outcome and on metabolic risks. It provides clear information on the risks and benefits of faster post-natal growth and catch-up growth in preterm infants and offers tools for better assessment of growth and earlier identification of faltering growth. This book is divided into three sections. The first section covers advances in preterm infant growth standards diagnosis and causes of EUGR and assessments of preterm infant diets. The second section considers the extensive human literature on the effects of in utero and ex utero growth restriction and catch-up growth on long-term metabolic outcomes—such as obesity insulin resistance type 2 diabetes and cardiac disease—and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes including cognition. It also examines evidence for the effect of growth on these outcomes in term and preterm infants. The final section of the book considers ways to reduce the incidence of EUGR in preterm infants and when EUGR does occur to optimize catch-up growth. Topics include assessment of dietary requirements of the diverse population of preterm infants examination of tools for prescribing nutrition to neonatal intensive care unit patients consideration of whether to customize or generalize nutrient intake and fortification of human milk. In addition the last chapter proposes using a Z-score growth chart for improved interpretation of growth data.

The Illustrated Dictionary of Toxicologic Pathology and Safety Science

The Illustrated Dictionary of Toxicologic Pathology and Safety Science

There has been a growing interest in toxicologic pathology especially as related to its impact on the safety assessment of pharmaceuticals and chemicals and in drug development. Thus there is a growing need for an Illustrated Dictionary of Toxicology Pathology and Safety Science (IDTP) that this dictionary aims to fill. The language of toxicologic pathology may be less familiar to a broad range of safety scientists especially those involved in the safety evaluation of pharmaceuticals and chemicals. The IDTP format provides the brevity and clarity that the user is not likely to receive in a textbook even if adequately indexed. With the inclusion of descriptions for terms used in toxicology drug metabolism/pharmacokinetics and regulatory science the scope of the IDTP is considerably broadened and decidedly unique in its appeal to all safety scientists. With over 800 photos and illustrations to provide visual context * an important aim of the IDTP is to present pathological changes as reference examples for terminology nomenclature and term descriptions for the entry entry-level as well as seasoned toxicologic pathologist. It will also aid students and non-pathology specialists such as study directors senior toxicology report reviewers scientific management of contract research organizations regulatory agencies and drug development companies to better understand the biological significance of tissue changes. The IDTP provides a single reference volume for these users to further their understanding and appreciation of biologically significant pathology findings. The IDTP consists of four major areas: 1. A-Z Dictionary of Pathology encompassing all organ systems together with relevant non-pathology terms supported by references in For Further Reading sections. 2. Appendix 1: An Overviews of Drug Development Nonclinical Safety & Toxicologic Pathology and Important/Special Topics. 3. Appendix 2: Diagnostic Criteria of for Proliferative Proliferative Lesions in Rodents (Rat and Mouse) and Selected Non-Rodent Laboratory Species containing illustrations with detailed references and links to source material. 4) Appendix 3: Mini-Atlas of Organ System Anatomy and Histology to help re-acquaint the non-pathologist safety scientist with many normal anatomical structures. The editors and contributing scientists (board-certified veterinary pathologists board-certified toxicologists allied health safety scientists health regulatory representatives) have experience from bench-level pathology and toxicology to managing global preclinical safety units in leading pharmaceutical companies. They have considerable experience mentoring pharmaceutical industry project team members interacting with industry clinicians and representatives of decision-making bodies within the industry as well as with global health authorities such as the FDA and EMA. These activities convinced them of the necessity for and usefulness of the IDTP. As experts in their field they have undertaken the hard work of writing and compiling the information making the IDTP an exceptional go-to reference. *Illustrations Editor: Gregory Argentieri | The Illustrated Dictionary of Toxicologic Pathology and Safety Science
