The introduction of "smart machines" for agricultural operations will allow several advantages, such as an increase in their efficiencies, a reduction in environmental impacts and a reduction of work injuries. There are partially- and fully-automatic devices for most aspects of agricultural functions, from seeding and planting to harvesting and postharvesting, from spraying to livestock managem…
Dietary intake in children is not only associated with current and future health, but also with behavior and learning. Especially during early childhood and throughout the school-age years, adequate food and nutrient intake to support brain development and function are critical. Data on the effect of sugar intake on children’s activity levels, or their ability to focus on cognitive tasks, are…
Quorum sensing (QS) describes a chemical communication behavior that is nearly universal among bacteria. Individual cells release a diffusible small molecule (an autoinducer) into their environment. A high concentration of this autoinducer serves as a signal of high population density, triggering new patterns of gene expression throughout the population. However QS is often much more complex th…
Istilah "hemostasis" merangkum berbagai proses fisiologis yang menyebabkan berhentinya perdarahan jika terjadi cedera pembuluh darah. Hemostasis menjaga darah di dalam pembuluh darah yang rusak dan oleh karena itu merupakan mekanisme yang menyelamatkan jiwa. Selain itu, hemostasis yang adekuat merupakan prasyarat untuk penyembuhan luka yang efektif setelah cedera. Proses hemostasis sangat kompl…
This authored monograph presents a mathematical description of the time evolution of neutral genomic regions in terms of the differential Lyapunov equation. The qualitative behavior of its solutions, with respect to different mutation models and demographic patterns, can be characterized using operator semi group theory. Mutation and drift are two of the main genetic forces, which act on gen…
Rich in examples and intuitive discussions, this book presents General Algebra using the unifying viewpoint of categories and functors. Starting with a survey, in non-category-theoretic terms, of many familiar and not-so-familiar constructions in algebra (plus two from topology for perspective), the reader is guided to an understanding and appreciation of the general concepts and tools unifying…
This book gives an introduction to R to build up graphing, simulating and computing skills to enable one to see theoretical and statistical models in economics in a unified way. The great advantage of R is that it is free, extremely flexible and extensible. The book addresses the specific needs of economists, and helps them move up the R learning curve. It covers some mathematical topics such a…
The book is a comprehensive, self-contained introduction to the mathematical modeling and analysis of infectious diseases. It includes model building, fitting to data, local and global analysis techniques. Various types of deterministic dynamical models are considered: ordinary differential equation models, delay-differential equation models, difference equation models, age-structured PDE model…
This book presents basic ideas of machine learning in a way that is easy to understand, by providing hands-on practical advice, using simple examples, and motivating students with discussions of interesting applications. The main topics include Bayesian classifiers, nearest-neighbor classifiers, linear and polynomial classifiers, decision trees, neural networks, and support vector machines. Lat…
Urologi Pediatrik didefinisikan sebagai subspesialisasi Urologi dan Bedah Pediatrik yang berkaitan dengan pengenalan klinis, pencegahan, pengobatan (bedah dan non-bedah) dan rehabilitasi penyakit bawaan dan didapat, malformasi, dan masalah fungsional genitor-urinary sistem pada anak-anak dan remaja. Selama bertahun-tahun, Urologi Pediatrik telah berkembang secara tidak resmi, berkembang, matang…
