Найти книгу: "Intelligent Bioinformatics"

Bioinformatics is contributing to some of the most important advances in medicine and biology. At the forefront of this exciting new subject are techniques known as artificial intelligence which are inspired by the way in which nature solves the problems it faces. This book provides a unique insight into the complex problems of bioinformatics and the innovative solutions which make up ‘intelligent bioinformatics’. Intelligent Bioinformatics requires only rudimentary knowledge of biology, bioinformatics or computer science and is aimed at interested readers regardless of discipline. Three introductory chapters on biology, bioinformatics and the complexities of search and optimisation equip the reader with the necessary knowledge to proceed through the remaining eight chapters, each of which is dedicated to an intelligent technique in bioinformatics. The book also contains many links to software and information available on the internet, in academic journals and beyond, making it an indispensable reference for the 'intelligent bioinformatician'. Intelligent Bioinformatics will appeal to all postgraduate students and researchers in bioinformatics and genomics as well as to computer scientists interested in these disciplines, and all natural scientists with large data sets to analyse.

"Vaata lapse silmadesse – midagi sugavamat pole olemas. Lapse silmad on nagu pohjatu sugavik. /Osho/Lastele on omane ehe vabadus. Nad on roomsameelsed, mangulised ja loomu poolest loovad. Kuid kasvatamise kaigus surutakse neid omadusi maha, et lapsed oleksid sonakuulelikud ning sobituksid voimalikult hasti uhiskonda. Ja kuigi iga vanemate polvkond kinnitab, et nemad ei tee oma lastega samu vigu, mis tehti nendega, sunnivad nad paratamatult lastele peale puudusi ja piiranguid, mille nad ise parisid oma vanematelt.See raamat kutsub ules „laste vabastusliikumisele”, et purustada vanad kaitumismustrid ja panna lastega suhtlemisele uus alus. See on teejuht taiskasvanutele, et nad teadvustaksid, kui palju nende kaitumine lapsi mojutab. Me opime, millal laste eest hoolitseda ja neid kaitsta ning millal lasta neil omaette tegutseda, et nad oskaksid elust roomu tunda ja saavutaksid oma korgeima potentsiaali.Osho (1931–1990) on uks tuntumaid ja provokatiivsemaid tanapaeva mustikuid. Londoni Sunday Times nimetas Oshot uheks „20. sajandi tegijaks”; kirjanik Tom Robbins aga „koige ohtlikumaks inimeseks parast Jeesus Kristust”. Tema opetuste moju on uha kasvanud ning jouab vaimsete otsijateni koikjal maailmas."

Senise intellekti (loe ka: teaduse) imetlemise korvale on voimsalt kerkinud arusaamine, et sageli langetame me oma koige tahtsamad ja nailiselt ratsio­naalsed otsused emotsioonidest juhitud kiire motlemise tulemusena (D. Kahneman). Seega voib just olukorra emotsionaalse tahenduse moistmine olla otsustavaks teguriks lahenduste otsimisel ja vigade valtimisel. Daniel Goleman on USA psuhholoog ja teadusajakirjanik ning emotsionaalse intelligentsuse kontseptsiooni propageerija. Ta on olnud Harvardi ulikooli kliinilise psuhholoogia oppejoud, toimetanud ajakirja Psychology Today ning ajalehe New York Times psuhholoogia rubriiki. Tema teosed on ilmunud enam kui neljakumnes keeles ja paljudes maades on saanud neist kiiresti bestsellerid. Esmatrukk eesti keeles ilmus 2000. aastal. See raamat voiks huvi pakkuda koigile neile, kes tahavad iseennast ja teisi moistlikult, s.o tundeid arvestades juhtida.

Almost 70% of mergers fail, yet deals are essential for growing world-class companies. Therefore they must use all the tools and techniques at their disposal to improve their chances of success. Applying the techniques advocated in this book can help managers beat the odds – and employees themselves – to have an impact on whether a deal will be successful both for the company and for themselves. This book looks at the process of a merger or acquisition and pinpoints the areas where business intelligence can raise the odds of success in each phase of the deal. Using techniques developed by governmental intelligence services and a wide range of recent case studies, quotations and anecdotes, the expert authors from the renowned Cass Business School show how to build success into any M&A situation. The first edition of Intelligent M&A was written in 2006 and published in 2007. This preceded the peak year (2007) of the last merger wave, including the excesses in a number of industries and deals (e.g., financial services with RBS’ dramatically failed acquisition of ABN AMRO as a key example), and the global economic downturn that led to a completely new way of operating for many industries and companies. Therefore, there is a need to update the book to incorporate not just more relevant and up-to-date case studies of deals but to show the ‘new’ way of operating in a post-Lehman environment. Chapters will be comprehensively re-written and populated with new and relevant case studies.

The go-to guide for smart REIT investing The Intelligent REIT Investor is the definitive guide to real estate investment trusts, providing a clear, concise resource for individual investors, financial planners, and analysts—anyone who prioritizes dividend income and risk management as major components to wealth-building. Later this year, the REIT industry will experience a watershed event when Standard & Poors creates a new Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS) sector called Real Estate. On September 1st, publicly traded equity REITs will be removed from Financials, where they have been classified since their creation in 1960, and begin trading as their own S&P Sector. This separation from banks and financial institutions already is attracting new investors, but REITs require an industry-specific knowledge that is neither intuitive or readily accessible to newcomers—until now. Using straightforward language and simple example to illustrate important concepts, this book will enable any reader to quickly learn and understand the lexicon and valuation techniques used in REIT investing, providing a wealth of practical resources that streamline the learning process. The discussion explains terminology, metrics, and other key points, while examples illustrate the calculations used to evaluate opportunities. A comprehensive list of publicly-traded REITs provides key reference, giving you access to an important resource most investors and stockbrokers lack. REITs are companies that own or finance commercial rental properties, such as malls and apartment buildings. Despite historically high total returns relative to other investments, such as the Nasdaq or S&P 500 index, most investors are unfamiliar with the REIT industry, and wary of investing without adequate background. This book gets you up to speed on the essentials of REIT investing so you can make more informed—and profitable—decisions. Understand REITs processes, mechanisms, and industry Calculate key metrics to identify suitable companies Access historical performance tables and industry-specific terminology Identify publicly-traded REITs quickly and easily REITs have consistently outperformed many more widely known investments. Over the past 15-year period, for example, REITs returned an average of 11% per year, better than all other asset classes. Since 2009, REITs have enjoyed positive returns; large cap stocks and cash are the only other classes that paralleled that record. Even in 2015, a 'year of fear' related to rising rates, REITs returned 2.4%, beating most all other asset classes. REITs have a long history (over fifty years) of performance, and are about to enter the big leagues. If you feel like you've been missing out, don't keep missing out. Prepare yourself, and your portfolio, to benefit from the demand for REITs that will follow the creation of a Real Estate GICS sector. The Intelligent REIT Investor gives you the information you need to invest wisely and manage your real estate risk effectively. By maintaining a tactical exposure in the brick and mortar asset class, investors should benefit from the information contained in The Intelligent REIT Investor. Join the REIT world and look forward to owning stocks that will help you to sleep well at night.
