Computational and Analytic Methods in Biological Sciences Bioinformatics with Machine Learning and Mathematical Modelling

Despite major advances in healthcare over the past century the successful treatment of cancer has remained a significant challenge and cancers are the second leading cause of death worldwide behind cardiovascular disease. Early detection and survival are important issues to control cancer. The development of quantitative methods and computer technology has facilitated the formation of new models in medical and biological sciences. The application of mathematical modelling in solving many real-world problems in medicine and biology has yielded fruitful results. In spite of advancements in instrumentations technology and biomedical equipment it is not always possible to perform experiments in medicine and biology for various reasons. Thus mathematical modelling and simulation are viewed as viable alternatives in such situations and are discussed in this book. The conventional diagnostic techniques of cancer are not always effective as they rely on the physical and morphological appearance of the tumour. Early stage prediction and diagnosis is very difficult with conventional techniques. It is well known that cancers are involved in genome level changes. As of now the prognosis of various types of cancer depends upon findings related to the data generated through different experiments. Several machine learning techniques exist in analysing the data of expressed genes; however the recent results related with deep learning algorithms are more accurate and accommodative as they are effective in selecting and classifying informative genes. This book explores the probabilistic computational deep learning model for cancer classification and prediction. | Computational and Analytic Methods in Biological Sciences Bioinformatics with Machine Learning and Mathematical Modelling

Basics of CNC Programming

Before the introduction of automatic machines and automation industrial manufacturing of machines and their parts for the key industries were made though manually operated machines. Due to this manufacturers could not make complex profiles or shapes with high accuracy. As a result the production rate tended to be slow production costs were very high rejection rates were high and manufacturers often could not complete tasks on time. Industry was boosted by the introduction of the semi-automatic manufacturing machine known as the NC machine which was introduced in the 1950��s at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the USA. After these NC machine started to be used typical profiles and complex shapes could get produced more readily which in turn lead to an improved production rate with higher accuracy. Thereafter in the 1970��s an even larger revolutionary change was introduced to manufacturing namely the use of the CNC machine (Computer Numerical Control). Since then CNC has become the dominant production method in most manufacturing industries including automotive aviation defence oil and gas medical electronics industry and the optical industry. Basics of CNC Programming describes how to design CNC programs and what cutting parameters are required to make a good manufacturing program. The authors explain about cutting parameters in CNC machines such as cutting feed depth of cut rpm cutting speed etc. and they also explain the G codes and M codes which are common to CNC. The skill-set of CNC program writing is covered as well as how to cut material during different operations like straight turning step turning taper turning drilling chamfering radius profile profile turning etc. In so doing the authors cover the level of CNC programming from basic to industrial format.

An Introduction to Tensor Analysis

The subject of Tensor Analysis deals with the problem of the formulation of the relation between various entities in forms which remain invariant when we pass from one system of coordinates to another. The invariant form of equation is necessarily related to the possible system of coordinates with reference to which the equation remains invariant. The primary purpose of this book is the study of the invariance form of equation relative to the totally of the rectangular co-ordinate system in the three-dimensional Euclidean space. We start with the consideration of the way the sets representing various entities are transformed when we pass from one system of rectangular co-ordinates to another. A Tensor may be a physical entity that can be described as a Tensor only with respect to the manner of its representation by means of multi-sux sets associated with different system of axes such that the sets associated with different system of co-ordinate obey the transformation law for Tensor. We have employed sux notation for tensors of any order we could also employ single letter such A B to denote Tensors. | An Introduction to Tensor Analysis
