Knowledge Discovery and Emergent Complexity in Bioinformatics
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the First International Workshop on Knowledge Discovery and Emergent Complexity in Bioinformatics, KDECB 2006, held in Ghent, Belgium, in May 2006, in connection with the 15th Belgium-Netherlands Conference on Machine Learning. The 12 revised full papers cover various topics in the areas of knowledge discovery and emergent complexity research in bioinformatics.
Multi-Agent Systems
Methodological Guidelines for Modeling and Developing MAS-Based Simulations The intersection of agents, modeling, simulation, and application domains has been the subject of active research for over two decades. Although agents and simulation have been used effectively in a variety of application domains, much of the supporting research remains scattered in the literature, too often leaving scientists to develop multi-agent system (MAS) models and simulations from scratch. Multi-Agent Systems: Simulation and Applications provides an overdue review of the wide ranging facets of MAS simulation, including methodological and application-oriented guidelines. This comprehensive resource reviews tw...
Ultra Low-Power Biomedical Signal Processing
Often WT systems employ the discrete wavelet transform, implemented on a digital signal processor. However, in ultra low-power applications such as biomedical implantable devices, it is not suitable to implement the WT by means of digital circuitry due to the relatively high power consumption associated with the required A/D converter. Low-power analog realization of the wavelet transform enables its application in vivo, e.g. in pacemakers, where the wavelet transform provides a means to extremely reliable cardiac signal detection. In Ultra Low-Power Biomedical Signal Processing we present a novel method for implementing signal processing based on WT in an analog way. The methodology presented focuses on the development of ultra low-power analog integrated circuits that implement the required signal processing, taking into account the limitations imposed by an implantable device.
Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Optimization (NICSO 2007)
Biological and natural processes have been a continuous source of inspiration for the sciences and engineering. For instance, the work of Wiener in cybernetics was influenced by feedback control processes observable in biological systems; McCulloch and Pitts description of the artificial neuron was instigated by biological observations of neural mechanisms; the idea of survival of the fittest inspired the field of evolutionary algorithms and similarly, artificial immune systems, ant colony optimisation, automated self-assembling programming, membrane computing, etc. also have their roots in natural phenomena. The second International Workshop on Nature Inspired Cooperative Strategies for Opt...
Analog Circuit Design
Analog Circuit Design contains the contribution of 18 tutorials of the 14th workshop on Advances in Analog Circuit Design. Each part discusses a specific todate topic on new and valuable design ideas in the area of analog circuit design. Each part is presented by six experts in that field and state of the art information is shared and overviewed. This book is number 14 in this successful series of Analog Circuit Design, providing valuable information and excellent overviews of analog circuit design, CAD and RF systems. Analog Circuit Design is an essential reference source for analog circuit designers and researchers wishing to keep abreast with the latest development in the field. The tutorial coverage also makes it suitable for use in an advanced design course.
Decentralised Reinforcement Learning in Markov Games
Introducing a new approach to multiagent reinforcement learning and distributed artificial intelligence, this guide shows how classical game theory can be used to compose basic learning units. This approach to creating agents has the advantage of leading to powerful, yet intuitively simple, algorithms that can be analyzed. The setup is demonstrated here in a number of different settings, with a detailed analysis of agent learning behaviors provided for each. A review of required background materials from game theory and reinforcement learning is also provided, along with an overview of related multiagent learning methods.
Repensar la sostenibilidad
La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.
Palliative Care and Communication
Based on five years of ethnographic research, this book considers the perspectives of patients with advanced small-cell bronchial carcinoma or lung cancer, their families, and the doctors and nurses who treat them. The (social medicine, VU University Medical Center) examines informal codes, ambiguous messages, the tension between professional detachment and personal involvement, communication patterns during various stages of illness, the latent realization of approaching death, and the ambivalent attitudes of patients.

Tussen hoop en vrees
Tussen hoop en vrees is een aangrijpend verhaal over de laatste levensfase van kankerpatiënten. In Nederland sterven per jaar 40.000 mensen aan kanker. In dit boek wordt beschreven wat zij meemaken.Anne-Mei The liep vijf jaar mee op een afdeling longoncologie in een academisch ziekenhuis en volgde patiënten vanaf het moment waarop ze te horen kregen ongeneeslijk ziek te zijn tot hun overlijden. Zij maakt ons deelgenoot van de gesprekken tussen arts en patiënt. Het besluit om te worden behandeld. De hoop op genezing. Hoe patiënten en dierbaren elkaar ontzien. Het contact tussen medepatiënten. En het voorbereiden op het nabije levenseinde.De rode draad door het boek is in hoeverre artsen patiënten de medische waarheid wel of niet moeten zeggen: een vraag die ons allen aangaat.Tussen hoop en vrees is de publieksuitgave van The's proefschrift.
