Computing Characterizations of Drugs for Ion Channels and Receptors Using Mar…
Flow of ions through voltage gated channels can be represented theoretically using stochastic differential equations where the gating mechanism is represented by a Markov model. The flow through a channel can be manipulated using various drugs, and the effect of a given drug can be reflected by changing the Markov model. These lecture notes provide an accessible introduction to the mathematical…

The Tannin Process
SINCE the publication of the first edition the process described in it has been greatly improved. The substratum of gelatine may now be dispensed with, far greater sensitiveness can be obtained, and, which is more important, landscape views can at the same time be produced of better quality. The process as managed at first had one serious fault, which rendered it less suitable for ordinary l…

Gaussian processes for machine learning
"Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a principled, practical, probabilistic approach to learning in kernel machines. GPs have received increased attention in the machine-learning community over the past decade, and this book provides a long-needed systematic and unified treatment of theoretical and practical aspects of GPs in machine learning. The treatment is comprehensive and self-contained, tar…
