Vaccines in Aquaculture: Development, Production, and Applications acknowledges the crucial part that aquatic vaccines play in disease control for the sustainable future of aquaculture. Vaccination progression has become the most important method for disease prevention and effective prophylaxis based on stimulation of the immune systems of key aquaculture species. This book provides detailed information about the evaluation, mass production, and commercialization of aquatic animal vaccines, as well as specific descriptions of the correct use of vaccines against the most important microbial diseases of aquatic animals.Written by a leading expert in aquatic animal health biotechnology, this book is systematically organized for effective delivery of its major themes. The book starts by providing an overview on aquaculture vaccine history, evolution, and characteristic features before describing the various types of vaccines and vaccination methods in the industry. Latter sections discuss aquatic vaccine development, recent developments and challenges, mass production, and commercialization. The book concludes with an examination of the challenges associated with large-scale production, commercialization, and ethical and legal considerations.

From Anatomy to Function of the Central Nervous System: Clinical and Neurosurgical Applications features neuroradiologic images that represent today, one of the most effective resources able to detect the anatomy of the nerve structures. Simultaneously featuring neuroimages, readers can study the functional aspects of the entire central nervous system with detailed captions that describe in detail how to use and interpret them. This book includes images of the brain dissected with the Klingler’s method and white matter fiber dissection. By integrating the anatomo-functional description with the synaptic organization of the CNS, this reference is useful for anyone who wants to understand how the activity of a nerve structure arises, describing its microstructure, neurotransmitter phenotype, and neural activity. It also features descriptions of pathologic conditions which result from neuroanatomical and/or neurofunctional alterations and includes neurosurgical aspects.

Intelligent Computing Techniques in Biomedical Imaging: Methods, Case Studies, and Applications provides comprehensive and state-of-the-art applications of Computational Intelligence techniques used in biomedical image analysis for disease detection and diagnosis. The book offers readers a stepwise approach from fundamental to advanced techniques using real-life medical examples and tutorials. The editors have divided the book into five sections, from prerequisites to case studies. Section I presents the prerequisites, where the reader will find fundamental concepts needed for advanced topics covered later in this book. This primarily includes a thorough introduction to Artificial Intelligence, probability theory and statistical learning. The second section covers Computational Intelligence methods for medical image acquisition and pre-processing for biomedical images. In this section, readers will find AI applied to conventional and advanced biomedical imaging modalities such as X-rays, CT scan, MRI, Mammography, Ultrasound, MR Spectroscopy, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), Ultrasound Elastography, Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Functional MRI, Hybrid Modalities, as well as pre-processing topics such as medical image enhancement, segmentation, and compression. Section III covers description and representation of medical images. Here the reader will find various categories of features and their relevance in different medical imaging tasks. This section also discusses feature selection techniques based on filter method, wrapper method, embedded method, and more. The fourth section covers Computational Intelligence techniques used for medical image classification, including Artificial Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, Nearest Neighbor Classifiers, Random Forest, clustering, extreme learning, Convolution Neural Networks (CNN), and Recurrent Neural Networks. This section also includes a discussion of computer aided diagnosis and performance evaluation in radiology. The final section of Intelligent Computing Techniques in Biomedical Imaging provides readers with a wealth of real-world Case Studies for Computational Intelligence techniques in applications such as neuro-developmental disorders, brain tumor detection, breast cancer detection, bone fracture detection, pulmonary imaging, thyroid disorders, imaging technologies in dentistry, diagnosis of ocular diseases, cardiovascular imaging, and multimodal imaging.
