The Human Central Nervous System: A Synopsis and Atlas

Steinkopff, 2007

The human central nervous system or neuraxis consists of the brain (encephalon) and the spinal cord (medulla spinalis). The brain is encased by the skull; the spinal cord lies within the spinal canal, extending from the foramen magnum to the level of the second lumbar vertebra. Globally, the brain can be subdivided into...

Stigmergic Optimization (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2006

Biologists studied the behavior of social insects for a long time. It is interesting how these tiny insects can find the shortest path for instance between two locations without any knowledge about distance, linearity, etc. After millions of years of evolution all these species have developed incredible solutions for a wide range of problems. Some...

Atlas of Endomicroscopy

Springer, 2007

Endomicroscopy is a newly developed diagnostic tool that enables in vivo microscopy with subcellular resolution during ongoing endoscopy in the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract. It is a revolutionary technology. Endoscopy and pathology are no longer separate subjects and, as a result, endomicroscopy leads to a close interaction between...

Computational Intelligence, Theory and Applications (Advances in Soft Computing)

Springer, 2006

For the 9th time since 1991 we invite researchers to participate in the Dortmund Fuzzy-Days. I am very glad that our conference has established itself as an international forum for the discussion of new results in the filed of Computational Intelligence. Again all papers had to undergo a thorough review: each one was judged by five referees to...

Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) Channels (Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology)

Springer, 2007

This volume provides up-to-date information on the molecular and functional properties and pharmacology of mammalian TRP channels. Leading experts in the field have written 35 essays which describe properties of a single TRP protein/channel or portray more general principles of TRP function and important pathological situations linked to...

Scalable Optimization via Probabilistic Modeling: From Algorithms to Applications (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2006

Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) address broad classes of optimization problems by learning explicit probabilistic models of promising solutions found so far and sampling the built models to generate new candidate solutions. By incorporating advanced machine learning techniques into genetic and evolutionary algorithms, EDAs can scalably...

Swarm Intelligence in Data Mining (Studies in Computational Intelligence)

Springer, 2006

Science is a swarm.

To the layperson, the stereotypical scientist is logical, clear-thinking, wellinformed but perhaps socially awkward, carefully planning his or her experiments and then analyzing the resulting data deliberately, with precision. The scientist works alone, emotion-free, searching only for truth, having been well advised...

Color Atlas of Melanocytic Lesions of the Skin

Springer, 2007

As essential a text for GPs as for dermatologists, this book is an atlas-like representation of the various forms of melanocytic skin lesions associated with cutaneous melanomas and other pigmented skin tumors. It is a comprehensive and up-to-date text on the practical issues surrounding the management of individuals with these lesions. It...

Wiki: Web Collaboration

Springer, 2008

Wikis are Web-based applications that allow all users not only to view pages but also to change them. The success of the Internet encyclopedia Wikipedia has drawn increasing attention from private users, small organizations and enterprises to the various possible uses of wikis.

Their simple structure and straightforward operation make them a...

Coping with Uncertainty: Modeling and Policy Issues

Springer, 2006

Uncertainties and risks have always been, and will remain, present; both in everybody’s life and in policy making. This presence is not always recognized because humans tend to perceive the world in a deterministic way, and in most cases succeed in somehow dealing with uncertainties. However, ignoring uncertainties often results in serious...

Encyclopedia of Diagnostic Imaging

Springer, 2008

The aim of this comprehensive encyclopedia is to provide detailed information on diagnostic radiology contributing to the broad field of imaging. The simple A to Z format provides easy access to relevant information. Extensive cross references between keywords and related articles enable efficient searches in a user-friendly manner. The wide...

A Computational Model of Natural Language Communication: Interpretation, Inference, and Production in Database Semantics

Springer, 2006

Everyday life would be easier if we could simply talk with machines instead of having to program them. Before such talking robots can be built, however, there must be a theory of how communicating with natural language works. This requires not only a grammatical analysis of the language signs, but also a model of the cognitive agent, with...
