Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Nutrition and Exercise Immunology

Like an army of millions ready to defend its territory the human immune system acts as the body's primary line of defense-a complex network of interacting cells that protects us from pathogens and other foreign substances. But many components of the immune system exhibit change after prolonged heavy exertion indicating that it is suppressed and stressed albeit transiently following prolonged endurance exercise. For marathon runners distance swimmers and any other endurance athlete who undergoes repeated cycles of heavy exertion a weakened immune system could lead to health complications such as respiratory infection. As a result interest in various nutrient supplements with the potential to counter exercise-induced immunosuppression has grown. Nutrition and Exercise Immunology reviews the link between nutrition and immune function with special application to athletic endeavor. Written by respected researchers in sports medicine and exercise immunology this text covers topics such as carbohydrates and the immune response to prolonged exertion; protein exercise and immunity; and vitamins immunity and infection risk in athletes. It also takes a look at future directions in nutrition and exercise immunology. For sports medicine professionals dietitians nutritionists exercise immunologists as well as endurance athletes Nutrition and Exercise Immunology provides an important and in-depth look into this exciting new area of scientific research.

Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences

Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences

Innovation is a translation of a new method idea or product into reality and profit. It is a process of connected steps that accumulates into a brand reputation required for success. Unlike Fortune 500 companies whose projects are self-funded a start-up must simultaneously have a value proposition that attracts a customer (for revenue) investors (for capital) and acquirers (for a liquidity event or IPO). A high percentage of start-ups fail before attaining positive cashflow due to a variety of reasons that are detailed in this book. Avoiding the pitfalls and wrong turns are the goals of this book. Innovation Commercialization and Start-Ups in Life Sciences details the methodologies necessary to create a successful life science start-up from initiation to exit. Written by an expert who has worked with more nearly 500 life science start-ups this book discusses specific processes and investor milestones that must be navigated to align customer funder and acquirer needs. Successful commercialization requires attention to multiple constituents such as investors regulators and customers. Investors require liquidity for their return which is achieved through selling their stock in a public or private sale. The reader will gain an appreciation for the necessary data partnerships and skills needed to create a competitive and sustainable company. The author discusses such specific issues as customer problems demonstrating sales access and ensuring intellectual property is impervious to competitive advancement. This book is intended to be suitable for entrepreneurs venture capitalists and investors in both business and academic settings. These organizations have specific departments such as R&D operations business development legal regulatory and marketing that would also benefit from this book. FEATURES Focuses specifically on life science start-ups Examines how to determine a company valuation and future fundable milestones Explores how to align regulatory and clinical strategies Discusses intellectual property derived from a university or individual through formation to exit. Reviews how start‐ups must simultaneously meet the needs of multiple constituencies at once: investors regulators customers and exit candidates James F. Jordan is an author consultant and speaker.

Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning

Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning

Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning presents a new approach to machine learning—entropy randomization—to obtain optimal solutions under uncertainty (uncertain data and models of the objects under study). Randomized machine-learning procedures involve models with random parameters and maximum entropy estimates of the probability density functions of the model parameters under balance conditions with measured data. Optimality conditions are derived in the form of nonlinear equations with integral components. A new numerical random search method is developed for solving these equations in a probabilistic sense. Along with the theoretical foundations of randomized machine learning Entropy Randomization in Machine Learning considers several applications to binary classification modelling the dynamics of the Earth’s population predicting seasonal electric load fluctuations of power supply systems and forecasting the thermokarst lakes area in Western Siberia. Features • A systematic presentation of the randomized machine-learning problem: from data processing through structuring randomized models and algorithmic procedure to the solution of applications-relevant problems in different fields • Provides new numerical methods for random global optimization and computation of multidimensional integrals • A universal algorithm for randomized machine learning This book will appeal to undergraduates and postgraduates specializing in artificial intelligence and machine learning researchers and engineers involved in the development of applied machine learning systems and researchers of forecasting problems in various fields.

Cost-Sensitive Machine Learning

Cost-Sensitive Machine Learning

In machine learning applications practitioners must take into account the cost associated with the algorithm. These costs include: Cost of acquiring training dataCost of data annotation/labeling and cleaningComputational cost for model fitting validation and testingCost of collecting features/attributes for test dataCost of user feedback collectionCost of incorrect prediction/classificationCost-Sensitive Machine Learning is one of the first books to provide an overview of the current research efforts and problems in this area. It discusses real-world applications that incorporate the cost of learning into the modeling process. The first part of the book presents the theoretical underpinnings of cost-sensitive machine learning. It describes well-established machine learning approaches for reducing data acquisition costs during training as well as approaches for reducing costs when systems must make predictions for new samples. The second part covers real-world applications that effectively trade off different types of costs. These applications not only use traditional machine learning approaches but they also incorporate cutting-edge research that advances beyond the constraining assumptions by analyzing the application needs from first principles. Spurring further research on several open problems this volume highlights the often implicit assumptions in machine learning techniques that were not fully understood in the past. The book also illustrates the commercial importance of cost-sensitive machine learning through its coverage of the rapid application developments made by leading companies and academic research labs.
