Digital Pathology
This special topic issue covers the essential elements of digital pathology. The basic components of a whole slide imaging system (WSI) are reviewed, and interoperability and standards recommendations are offered, including a thorough revision of the international guidelines on digital pathology. Further, the publication provides a study on conventional microscopy versus WSI in pre-graduate and post-graduate medical training. It includes a study on synoptic pathology reports, evidence supporting the use of WSI for primary diagnosis in the different pathology subspecialties, second opinion telepathology, and practical recommendations for large volume storage. New technologies that lead to future 3D representation of tissue histology are examined. Finally, this issue discusses integrative digital pathology, micro-semiology, comprehensive immunohistochemistry, and computational pathology concepts. Digital Pathology is primarily aimed at pathologists, residents, technicians, biologists, and IT scientists. It provides answers to current challenges and some innovative proposals for the future.
Gynecologic and Urologic Pathology
This book highlights the similarities and differences in the pathology of the genital and urinary tracts in males and females.
Information Theory Tools for Image Processing
Information Theory (IT) tools, widely used in many scientific fields such as engineering, physics, genetics, neuroscience, and many others, are also useful transversal tools in image processing. In this book, we present the basic concepts of IT and how they have been used in the image processing areas of registration, segmentation, video processing, and computational aesthetics. Some of the approaches presented, such as the application of mutual information to registration, are the state of the art in the field. All techniques presented in this book have been previously published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings or international journals. We have stressed here their common aspects, and presented them in an unified way, so to make clear to the reader which problems IT tools can help to solve, which specific tools to use, and how to apply them. The IT basics are presented so as to be self-contained in the book. The intended audiences are students and practitioners of image processing and related areas such as computer graphics and visualization. In addition, students and practitioners of IT will be interested in knowing about these applications.
Harmful Natural Chemicals and Radiation in the Environment
This unique volume provides in layman's terms, without sacrificing scientific facts, the health hazards and potential dangers of naturally occurring substances that are around us everyday. The comprehensive coverage includes compounds (e.g. arsenic, lead), gases (e.g. hydrogen sulphide, ozone) and all forms of natural radiations (e.g. heat, radon). Readers will find this book both informative and entertaining because facts and important data are introduced and interpreted in the form of history, stories and scientific summaries. Each chapter concludes with a practical guide that readers will find useful. Harmful Naturally Occurring Substance and Radiation, which is fully referenced with up-to-date articles, may be used as a textbook for undergraduates and as an introductory textbook for post-graduates in biochemistry, environmental science, toxicology, medical science, and health care. People interested in personal and public health and earth issues will find this book a thought-provoking and revealing read. The book may also be a source of information for policy makers, public health officials, city planners and environmental engineers.
The Pursuit of Dominance
"How do great countries stay that way? The United States is the most powerful actor in the international system, but it is facing a set of challenges that might lead to its decline as this century unfolds. This book looks to the past for guidance, examining the grand strategy of previous superpowers to see how they maintained, or failed to maintain, their status. Over the course of six cases, from Ancient Rome to the British Empire, it seeks guidance from the past for present U.S. policymakers. How did previous empires, regional hegemons, or simply dominant powers forge grand strategy? How did they define their interests, and then assemble the tools to address them? What did they do right, and where did they err? What - if anything - can current U.S. strategists learn from the experience of earlier superpowers?"--
Anatomia patològica general
El manual d’Anatomia Patològica neix amb l’ambició de substituir els apunts i donar als estudiants d’Anatomia Patològica de Medicina, Odontologia i Podologia l’oportunitat de conèixer anticipadament els temes quan assisteixen a les classes teòriques, amb la pretensió que la classe pugui transformar-se en un lloc més actiu on l’alumne pugui aclarir conceptes, contrastar opinions o aprofundir en aspectes específics. El text vol ser una síntesi de conceptes bàsics d’anatomia patològica general. El manual resultarà especialment útil als estudiants que vulguin aproximar-se als coneixements d’anatomia patològica en llengua catalana, ja que representa el primer esforç realitzat per resumir aquesta matèria en la nostra llengua utilitzant una terminologia normalitzada.
Information Theory Tools for Computer Graphics
Information theory (IT) tools, widely used in scientific fields such as engineering, physics, genetics, neuroscience, and many others, are also emerging as useful transversal tools in computer graphics. In this book, we present the basic concepts of IT and how they have been applied to the graphics areas of radiosity, adaptive ray-tracing, shape descriptors, viewpoint selection and saliency, scientific visualization, and geometry simplification. Some of the approaches presented, such as the viewpoint techniques, are now the state of the art in visualization. Almost all of the techniques presented in this book have been previously published in peer-reviewed conference proceedings or internati...
