      Big Data in Psychiatry and Neurology provides an up-to-date overview of achievements in the field of big data in Psychiatry and Medicine, including applications of big data methods to aging disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease), mood disorders (e.g., major depressive disorder), and drug addiction. This book will help researchers, students and clinicians implement new methods for collecting big datasets from various patient populations. Further, it will demonstrate how to use several algorithms and machine learning methods to analyze big datasets, thus providing individualized treatment for psychiatric and neurological patients. As big data analytics is gaining traction in psychiatric research, it is an essential component in providing predictive models for both clinical practice and public health systems. As compared with traditional statistical methods that provide primarily average group-level results, big data analytics allows predictions and stratification of clinical outcomes at an individual subject level.

      The physical effects of COVID-19 are felt globally. However, one issue that has not been sufficiently addressed is the impact of COVID-19 on mental health. During the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens worldwide are enduring widespread lockdowns; children are out of school; and millions have lost their jobs, which has caused anxiety, depression, insomnia, and distress. Mental Health Effects of COVID-19 provides a comprehensive analysis of mental health problems resulting from COVID-19, including depression, suicidal thoughts and attempts, trauma, and PTSD. The book includes chapters detailing the impact of COVID-19 on the family’s well-being and society dynamics. The book concludes with an explanation on how meditation and online treatment methods can be used to combat the effects on mental health.

      In the lung, more recent data have been accumulated on lung stem cell biology/function and the potential applications of stem cells in pulmonary diseases that are facilitated by the recent development of a broad range of cutting edge in vitro and in vivo research tools and approaches, including mouse and human organoid cultures, genetic editing in vitro and in vivo, human induced pluripotent cell (iPS cell) models of disease, haploid cells for genetic as well as compound screening paradigms, genetically engineered mice, and stem cell transplantation to cure diseases. Stem Cell Innovation in Health and Disease: Volume 2: The Lung, contains two major sections describing cutting edge research for understanding stem cell functions in the lung and respiratory system, and for developing methods to bring stem cells from bench to bedside; respectively. Each section includes insights ranging from using mouse and human organoid cultures, genetic editing in vitro and in vivo, and human induced pluripotent cells (iPSCs) to study stem cell functions and model lung diseases, through the cutting-edge research aiming to bring stem cells from bench to bedside, including the potential application of iPSCs, ESCs and blood stem cells (stem cell transplants) in the treatment of lung diseases/disorders. This book, therefore, discusses the fact-based promise of stem cells and regenerative medicine in the lung in the real world.

      New Numerical Scheme with Newton Polynomial: Theory, Methods, and Applications provides a detailed discussion on the underpinnings of the theory, methods and real-world applications of this numerical scheme. The book's authors explore how this efficient and accurate numerical scheme is useful for solving partial and ordinary differential equations, as well as systems of ordinary and partial differential equations with different types of integral operators. Content coverage includes the foundational layers of polynomial interpretation, Lagrange interpolation, and Newton interpolation, followed by new schemes for fractional calculus. Final sections include six chapters on the application of numerical scheme to a range of real-world applications. Over the last several decades, many techniques have been suggested to model real-world problems across science, technology and engineering. New analytical methods have been suggested in order to provide exact solutions to real-world problems. Many real-world problems, however, cannot be solved using analytical methods. To handle these problems, researchers need to rely on numerical methods, hence the release of this important resource on the topic at hand.

      Materials processing using explosion, shock-wave and high-strain-rate phenomena was developed after WWII, and these explosive forming and welding techniques have since been adopted as an accepted industrial technology. Such extremely high-rate phenomena historically used empirical experiences while the experimental conditions were not well documented due to the difficulties inherent in understanding the real response or behaviour of materials. Based upon the recent development of numerical techniques for analysis and the enriched data available on the behaviour of materials, it is now possible to predict such high-rate phenomena based upon numerical and experimental approaches including optical observation. Explosion, Shock-wave and High-strain-rate Phenomena of Advanced Materials demonstrates the deformation of various materials at high-rate based upon numerical analysis and supported by experimental evidence. The book is recommended for researchers and engineers who would like to learn more about the high-rate effect of materials and those who need to resolve multi-physics problems based on numerical approach. It is also ideal for researchers and engineers interested with explosive and other high-rate processing of materials.
