Twenty-eight American and European experts in cancer modeling contribute 18 chapters reviewing the most recent and advanced cancer models and their applications. Chapters focusing on cancer models cov

Presenting both common and specialized probability distribution models, as well as providing applications with practical examples, this handbook offers comprehensive coverage of plots of probability d

This handbook brings together recent advances in the areas of supply chain optimization, supply chain management, and life-cycle cost analysis of bioenergy. These topics are important for the developm

This volume develops results on continuous time branching processes and applies them to study rate of tumor growth, extending classic work on the Luria-Delbruck distribution. As a consequence, the aut

Applicable to any problem that requires a finite number of solutions, finite state-based models (also called finite state machines or finite state automata) have found wide use in various areas of com

Nanoindentation is ideal for the characterization of inhomogeneous biological materials. However, the use of nanoindentation techniques in biological systems is associated with some distinctively diff

In response to scientific needs for more diverse and structured explanations of statistical data, researchers have discovered how to model individual data points as belonging to multiple groups. Handb

The ability of parallel computing to process large data sets and handle time-consuming operations has resulted in unprecedented advances in biological and scientific computing, modeling, and simulatio

In the area of applied statistics, scientists use statistical distributions to model a wide range of practical problems, from modeling the size grade distribution of onions to modeling global position

Mice have become the species of choice for modeling the complex interactions between tumor cells and the host environment. Mouse genetics are easily manipulated, and a growing array of technology exis

The laboratory mouse is an important model for studying cancer and its treatment. This book includes both background information and step-by-step protocols for generating mouse models that accurately

Prevailing classification systems backed by the American Psychiatric Association (DSM) and World Health Organization (ICD) generally assume that mental health conditions are best represented by discrete entities that are qualitatively distinct from one another and from mental health. These diagnostic categories, such as major depression, antisocial personality disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder, are ubiquitous in research, clinical, training, legal, and public health contexts. Yet they are out of sync with a vast quantity of scientific data on the presentation, causes, and treatments of psychopathology. Empirically speaking, categorical diagnoses tend to be unreliable (over time and across reporters), have fuzzy boundaries with one another and mental health, do not capture many clinical presentations encountered in routine practice, and lack distinctive causes and recommended treatments. Dimensional perspectives recognize the same signs and symptoms as categorical rubrics, but
