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 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.

Digital Agritechnology: Robotics and Systems for Agriculture and Livestock Production describes how systems acquire and use data in livestock production and agricultural systems, and how researchers can extract and aggregate efficiencies. The origins of digital agritechnology are decades old, with robotic milkers available for over 20 years and GPS-based tractor controls existing for nearly 30. However, only a few capabilities of these sensing and control systems are used. This book addresses the need to educate agriculturists on the full usage scale of these arable and livestock systems.
