Este es un relato que baja hasta lo íntimo, lo mira de cerca y lo nombra. Un relato sobre la voz (y su ausencia), un relato sobre el cuerpo y el silencio. Un relato que halla la voz perdida, silenciada. «Esta es la voz que perdí, todo lo que no supe pronunciar, lo que un día fue y seguirá siendo. Este es un relato sobre la herida y la pena, sobre su pronunciamiento.»
Imagina un mundo sin imprenta, sin coches, sin teléfonos móviles... ¿Cuesta pensarlo, verdad? Pero si algo tienen en común estas revoluciones es que las tres trajeron consigo un fuerte cambio de mentalidad, sacudiendo los cimientos de la sociedad del momento. Algo similar estamos viviendo en la actualidad con la Inteligencia Artificial (IA). Estupidez artificial. Cómo usar la inteligencia artificial sin que ella te utilice a ti, tiene el objetivo de hacerte reflexionar, desde un punto de vista filosófico, sobre el miedo infundado que se le tiene; a la vez que te invita a pensar en todas sus ventajas prácticas, realizando un alegato a su uso ético, responsable y sin miedos. ¿Es cierto que la IA decide por nosotros? ¿Tenemos que creer en lo que dice la IA como si fuera la sabiduría máxima? En las páginas de este libro encontrarás las respuestas a estos y otros interrogantes, o mejor dicho... podrás encontrar tu opinión.
Quise volar y robé tus alas como cambio justo a mi sonrisa. Cuando vuelvas a buscarlas, verás cómo alzo el vuelo. Fuiste poco menos que mi vida. Algo más que la esencia que te llevaste contigo. ¿Has jugado alguna vez a dibujar sombras en la pared? Todo comienza con una luz que al taparla crea una realidad paralela, una proyección de algo que no existe de verdad. Sicilia toma este juego como punto de partida para hablar de amor, de dolor y de aprendizaje a través del poder curativo de los versos. En Las luces que crearon mis sombras comprobarás que incluso el amor más fuerte puede tornarse oscuro e irreal como una sombra en la pared.
In Clinical Bioinformatics, Second Edition, leading experts in the field provide a series of articles focusing on software applications used to translate information into outcomes of clinical relevance. Recent developments in omics, such as increasingly sophisticated analytic platforms allowing changes in diagnostic strategies from the traditional focus on single or small number of analytes to what might be possible when large numbers or all analytes are measured, are now impacting patient care. Covering such topics as gene discovery, gene function (microarrays), DNA sequencing, online approaches and resources, and informatics in clinical practice, this volume concisely yet thoroughly explores this cutting-edge subject. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Clinical Bioinformatics, Second Edition serves as an ideal guide for scientists and health professionals working in genetics and genomics.
Tomboy is the story of a girl whose father calls her Brio, whose alter ego is Amine, and whose mother is a blue-eyed blond. But who is she? Born five years after Algerian independence in 1967, she navigates the cultural, emotional, and linguistic boundaries of identity living in a world that doesn't seem to recognize her.
The latest advances in cancer research include basic research and its derived diagnostic, clinical and therapeutic applications. The book New Trends in Cancer for the 21st Century is written by individuals such as: molecular biologists whose tasks are, after sequencing the human genome, to decipher those new genes and pathways involved in the carcinogenesis process; clinical and molecular pathologists, who apply these discoveries for the molecular diagnosis and characterization of the tumour; and clinical oncologists, who treat patients. Pharmacogenetics introduces new perspectives in the translational fields with the design of drugs against specific targets, which are in clinical trials phases in 2003. Several organizations such as the EORTC (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer) and the OECI (Organization of European Cancer Institutes) and comprehensive cancer centres play a crucial role in focusing cancer research on all these areas.

A provocative examination of school desegregation in America and how it does-and does not-succeed. In this powerful tract on school desegregation, Jennifer Hochschild formulates the most searching challenge to the theory of incrementalism that I have come across in recent years. -David Braybrooke A comprehensive synthesis of what is known about the processes of school desegregation and a powerful policy-oriented argument on a subject whose crucial significance Americans have been unable to wish away. -Paul E. Peterson, Brookings Institution A well-written, insightful survey and analysis of the pattern of school desegregation in American society since the Supreme Court's Brown decisions and a...
This paper studies the volatility of commodity prices on the basis of a large dataset of monthly prices observed in international trade data from the United States over the period 2002 to 2011. The conventional wisdom in academia and policy circles is that primary commodity prices are more volatile than those of manufactured products, even though most of the existing evidence does not actually attempt to measure the volatility of prices of individual goods or commodities. Rather the literature tends to focus on trends in the evolution and volatility of ratios of price indexes composed of multiple commodities and products. This approach can be misleading. Indeed, the evidence presented in this paper suggests that on average prices of individual primary commodities may be less volatile than those of individual manufactured goods.
