In recent years, philosophers, neuroethicists, and others have become preoccupied with “moral enhancement.” Very roughly, this refers to the deliberate moral improvement of an individual’s character, motives, or behavior. In one sense, such enhancement could be seen as “nothing new at all” (Wiseman, 2016, 4) or as something philosophically mundane: as G. Owen Schaefer (2015) has state…
In Acts of Care, Sara Ritchey recovers women's healthcare work by identifying previously overlooked tools of care: healing prayers, birthing indulgences, medical blessings, liturgical images, and penitential practices. Ritchey demonstrates that women in premodern Europe were both deeply engaged with and highly knowledgeable about health, the body, and therapeutic practices, but their critical r…
Efficient Computation for Pairing Based Cryptography: A State of the Art
Computational Intelligence in Software Cost Estimation: Evolving Conditional Sets of Effort Value Ranges
GRID Computing and Computational Immunology
Amperometric biosensors are widely used in point-of-care medical devices that help patients control blood glucose and cholesterol levels in an effective and convenient way. On the other hand, computer-aided technologies for biosensor design remain an actively developing field. In this chapter, we present a computational model for biosensor design that uses a reaction-diffusion equation. We have…
Multi-Scale Modeling and Analysis of Left Ventricular Remodeling Post Myocardial Infarction: Integration of Experimental and Computational Approaches
Lütkenhöner’s „Intensity Dependence of Auditory Responses“: An Instructional Example in How Not To Do Computational Neurobiology
This course covers the algorithmic and machine learning foundations of computational biology combining theory with practice. We cover both foundational topics in computational biology, and current research frontiers. We study fundamental techniques, recent advances in the field and work directly with current large-scale biological datasets.
