This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, AIME 2021, held as a virtual event, in June 2021. The 28 full papers presented together with 30 short papers were selected from 138 submissions. The papers are grouped in topical sections on image analysis; predictive modelling; temporal data analysis; unsupervised learning; planning and decision support; deep learning; natural language processing; and knowledge representation and rule mining.
Refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pumps (RACHP) have an important impact on the final energy uses of many sectors of modern society, such as residential, commercial, industrial, transport, and automotive. Moreover, RACHP also have an important environmental impact due to the working fluids that deplete the stratospheric ozone layer, which are being phased out according to the Montreal Protocol (1989). Last, but not least, high global working potential (GWP), working fluids (directly), and energy consumption (indirectly) are responsible for a non-negligible quota of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the atmosphere, thus impacting climate change.
"Obesity" es el segundo libro de una colección de cuatro ("Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D)"; "Obesity"; "Arterial hypertension"; "Atherogenic dyslipidemia"). Se trata de una obra realizada con un enfoque multidisciplinar y producto del trabajo realizado por un equipo de colaboradores internacionales de gran prestigio en las distintas áreas, escrita íntegramente en inglés, revisa todos los aspectos relacionados con la obesidad. Abarca desde los aspectos generales como la obesidad en niños y su impacto en la sanidad pública, factores sociales, demográficos y económicos, su relación con la diabetes o la importancia de la genética, hasta la fisiopatología, prevención y las distintas o...
In this Element atheists cite animal pain as compelling evidence against the existence of the loving God portrayed in the Judeo-Christian Bible. William Rowe, Paul Draper, Richard Dawkins and others claim widespread unnecessary suffering exists in nature and challenge theism with the Evidential Problem of Natural Evil. This Element engages the scientific literature in order to evaluate the validity of those claims and offers a theodicy of God's providential care for animals through natural pain mitigating processes.

This comprehensive handbook is a "one-stop-shop" for all researchers involved in the field of alcohol-related harm at the whole body or cellular level. Over 100 chapters provide abundant information of a wide range of topics that extend from the evolutionary aspects of alcohol consumption and the prevalence of alcohol misuse to programmed cell death. Each chapter is highly illustrated with tables and figures making this a valuable reference for students, clinicians and researchers alike. *Over 100 chapters conveniently divided into 3 sections *Represents a 'one-stop-shop' of information with suitable indexing of the various pathways and processes *Each chapter is highly illustrated with tables as well as figures
This book gathers the proceedings of MEDICON 2019 – the XV Mediterranean Conference on Medical and Biological Engineering and Computing – which was held in September 26-28, 2019, in Coimbra, Portugal. A special emphasis has been given to practical findings, techniques and methods, aimed at fostering an effective patient empowerment, i.e. to position the patient at the heart of the health system and encourages them to be actively involved in managing their own healthcare needs. The book reports on research and development in electrical engineering, computing, data science and instrumentation, and on many topics at the interface between those disciplines. It provides academics and professionals with extensive knowledge on cutting-edge techniques and tools for detection, prevention, treatment and management of diseases. A special emphasis is given to effective advances, as well as new directions and challenges towards improving healthcare through holistic patient empowerment.
Oxidants, like other aspects of life, involves tradeoffs. Oxidants, whether intentionally produced or by-products of normal metabolism can either mediate a variety of critical biological processes but when present inappropriately cause extensive damage to biological molecules (DNA, proteins, and lipids). These effects can lead to either damage that is a major contributor to aging and degenerative diseases (or to other diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, immune-system decline, brain dysfunction, and cataracts) or normal physiological function- tissue repair, defense against pathogens and cellular proliferation. On the other hand the body is equipped with a complex antioxidant/oxi...
The book intends to cover various problematic aspects of emerging smart computing and self-adapting technologies comprising of machine learning, artificial intelligence, deep learning, robotics, cloud computing, fog computing, data mining algorithms, including emerging intelligent and smart applications related to these research areas. Further coverage includes implementation of self-adaptation architecture for smart devices, self-adaptive models for smart cities and self-driven cars, decentralized self-adaptive computing at the edge networks, energy-aware AI-based systems, M2M networks, sensors, data analytics, algorithms and tools for engineering self-adaptive systems, and so forth. Acts a...
