Brain Dynamics serves to introduce graduate students and nonspecialists from various backgrounds to the field of mathematical and computational neurosciences.
The widespread interest this book has found among professors, scientists and stu- dents working in a variety of fields has made a new edition necessary.
Physical Oceanography of the Dying Aral Sea describes the background, present crisis state, and possible future of this peculiar inland water body from the physical oceanographic standpoint.
It is our great pleasure and honor to organize the First IEEE Computer Society International Workshop on Biologically Motivated Computer Vision (BMCV 2000).
What if the secret to understanding all of life every heartbeat, every thought, every disease, every miracle of healing was written in a language of just four molecular alphabets?
The Spanish Flu of 1918 was one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, claiming an estimated 50 million lives worldwide and forever changing the way societies respond to infectious diseases.
Bioinformatics, which can be defined as the application of computer science and information technology to the field of biology and medicine, has been rapidly developing over the past few decades.
Synthetic Biology enables the capability to manipulate and modify leaving cells and organisms to program them for specific purposes and has the potential to change the course of the healthcare sector.
One of the major contemporary challenges in both physical and social sciences is modeling, analyzing, and understanding the self-organization, evolution, behavior, and eventual decay of complex dynamical systems ranging from cell assemblies to the human brain to animal societies.
We are pleased to present the proceedings of the Second Workshop on Al- rithms in Bioinformatics (WABI 2002), which took place on September 17-21, 2002 in Rome, Italy.
The central theme of this book is the extent to which the structure of the free dynamical boundaries of a system controls the evolution of the system as a whole.
