    • English
    Predictive Modeling in Biomedical Data Mining and Analysis presents major technical advancements and research findings in the field of machine learning in biomedical image and data analysis. The book examines recent technologies and studies in preclinical and clinical practice in computational intelligence. The authors present leading-edge research in the science of processing, analyzing and utilizing all aspects of advanced computational machine learning in biomedical image and data analysis. As the application of machine learning is spreading to a variety of biomedical problems, including automatic image segmentation, image classification, disease classification, fundamental biological processes, and treatments, this is an ideal reference. Machine Learning techniques are used as predictive models for many types of applications, including biomedical applications. These techniques have shown impressive results across a variety of domains in biomedical engineering research. Biology and medicine are data-rich disciplines, but the data are complex and often ill-understood, hence the need for new resources and information.

  • Aquaculture Pathophysiology

    Volume I. Finfish Diseases
    • 1st Edition
    • Frederick S.B. Kibenge + 2 more
    • English
    Aquaculture Pathophysiology, Volume I. Finfish Diseases is a diverse, practical reference on finfish diseases impacting aquaculture. It is intended for the veterinarian, fish health biologist or extensionist, fish pathologist and fish health diagnostician supporting the management of major and emerging infectious and non-infectious health risks for the key temperate, subtropical and tropical finfish species of commercial and fisheries importance. This volume should be read in partnership with volume 2 on shellfish diseases as the principles and approach to the diagnosis and management of aquacultured animal species are similar and typically researchers, teachers, students, diagnostic laboratory scientists, aquaculture technicians and farmers need to be competent across both finfish and shellfish health issues.
