For Ronit Levy, leaving Israel appears to be the only way of escaping her ex-boyfriend’s unrelenting barrage of assaults. Reconciliation is totally out of the question. She desperately yearns for a lasting inner-peace, a peace without further threat of emotional anguish. However, her psychopathic ex-lover, John Rothman, is determined to exact his bloody revenge on the only woman who ever walked out on him. In his drugged state, he concocts a sadistic plan to bring closure to the matter. With her disabled brother entrusted into the care of a family friend, Ronit leaves for her new post in Tal Basta, Egypt. The Al-Radah-Corporation, a pharmaceutical monolith, is Ronit’s sanctuary; a place ...
Due to the success of Microbiome and Machine Learning, which collected research results and perspectives of researchers working in the field of machine learning (ML) applied to the analysis of microbiome data, we are launching the second volume to collate any new findings in the field to further our understanding and encourage the participation of experts worldwide in the discussion. The success of ML algorithms in the field is substantially due to their capacity to process high-dimensional data and deal with uncertainty and noise. However, to maximize the combinatory potential of these emerging fields (microbiome and ML), researchers have to deal with some aspects that are complex and inherently related to microbiome data. Microbiome data are convoluted, noisy and highly variable, and non-standard analytical methodologies are required to unlock their clinical and scientific potential. Therefore, although a wide range of statistical modelling and ML methods are available, their application is only sometimes optimal when dealing with microbiome data.
Why are cutting-edge data science techniques such as bioinformatics, few-shot learning, and zero-shot learning underutilized in the world of biological sciences?. In a rapidly advancing field, the failure to harness the full potential of these disciplines limits scientists ability to unlock critical insights into biological systems, personalized medicine, and biomarker identification. This untapped potential hinders progress and limits our capacity to tackle complex biological challenges. The solution to this issue lies within the pages of Applying Machine Learning Techniques to Bioinformatics. This book serves as a powerful resource, offering a comprehensive analysis of how these emerging disciplines can be effectively applied to the realm of biological research. By addressing these challenges and providing in-depth case studies and practical implementations, the book equips researchers, scientists, and curious minds with the knowledge and techniques needed to navigate the ever-changing landscape of bioinformatics and machine learning within the biological sciences.
This book deals with the paradoxical role of autophagy in tumor suppression and tumor promotion in cancer cells. Autophagy plays opposing, context-dependent roles in tumors; accordingly, strategies based on inhibiting or stimulating autophagy could offer as potential cancer therapies. The book elucidates the physiological role of autophagy in modulating cancer metastasis, which is the primary cause of cancer-associated mortality. Further, it reviews its role in the differentiation, development, and activation of multiple immune cells, and its potential applications in tumor immunotherapy. In addition, it examines the effect of epigenetic modifications of autophagy-associated genes in regulating tumor growth and therapeutic response and summarizes autophagy’s role in the development of resistance to a variety of anti-cancer drugs in cancer cells. In closing, it assesses autophagy as a potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Given its scope, the book offers a valuable asset for all oncologists and researchers who wish to understand the potential role of autophagy in tumor biology.
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the three workshops held at the 31st International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications, DEXA 2020, held in September 2020: The 11th International Workshop on Biological Knowledge Discovery from Data, BIOKDD 2020, the 4th International Workshop on Cyber-Security and Functional Safety in Cyber-Physical Systems, IWCFS 2020, the 2nd International Workshop on Machine Learning and Knowledge Graphs, MLKgraphs2019.
