The Handbook of Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing provides a comprehensive overview of the concepts, methodologies, and applications being undertaken today in computational linguistics and natural language processing.
The volume begins with an introduction to the major theoretical issues in these fields, as well as the central engineering applications that the work has produced. Also included is a detailed synopsis of the most cutting-edge research.
Designed to highlight important teaching points, this book is an invaluable tool for physicians in training and clinicians preparing for certification or recertification in internal medicine, or medical clerkship review. It contains 173 cases with 287 color images and ABIM-type multiple-choice review questions, answers, and explanations. The authors present cases as unknowns in random order, mirroring examination and clinical practice conditions. For specialty-specific review, an innovative chain-referencing system links cases throughout the book based on specialty classifications.
Since the early 70's, mixed finite elements have been the object of a wide and deep study by the mathematical and engineering communities. The fundamental role of this method for many application fields has been worldwide recognized and its use has been introduced in several commercial codes. An important feature of mixed finite elements is the interplay between theory and application. Discretization spaces for mixed schemes require suitable compatibilities, so that approximations generally do not work and the design of appropriate stabilizations gives rise to challenging mathematical problems.
The Brain and Behavior: An Introduction to Behavioral Neuroanatomy
Now in its third edition, The Brain and Behavior continues on its mission to present a simplified and accessible introduction to behavioral neuroanatomy. Human behavior is a direct reflection of the anatomy of the central nervous system, and it is the goal of the behavioral neuroscientist to uncover its neuroanatomical basis. Much of the new content in this edition reflects advances in functional magnetic resonance imaging.
Emerging Cancer Therapy: Microbial Approaches and Biotechnological Tools
Explores current and emerging applications of microbes as cancer-fighting agents. Today, treatment options for cancer patients typically include surgery, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and chemotherapy. While these therapies have saved lives and reduced pain and suffering, cancer still takes millions of lives every year around the world. In recent years, researchers have been working on a new strategy: developing microbes and microbial products that specifically attack cancer cells.
