Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - An unprecedented compilation of state-of-the-art advances in clinical research by premier clinical scientists around the world. This volume discusses the methods of clinical research and the interpretation of their results in studies of normal individuals, obese subjects, and patients with diabetes mellitus. Along the way, the authoritative contributors writing here illuminate how changes in the hormone action and substrate metabolism of healthy humans may lead to obesity and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. In Clinical Research in Diabetes and Obesity premier clinical scientists around the world offer an unprecedented compilation of state-of-the-art advances in clinical research on diabetes and obesity. This second volume, on Diabetes and Obesity, discusses the methods of clinical research and the interpretation of their results in studies of normal individuals, obese subjects, and patients with diabetes mellitus. Along the way, the authoritative contributors writing here illuminate how changes in the hormone action and substrate metabolism of healthy humans may lead to obesity and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. A first volume, Methods, Assessment, and Metabolic Regulation, provides the methodological basis for the present work by presenting and critically assessing the major techniques used in clinical research, as well as reviewing their use in studying healthy humans. Clinical Research in Diabetes and Obesity presents in its two wide-ranging volumes not only all of today's cutting-edge in vivo techniques, but also details approaches to elucidating the pathophysiology of these diseases, and sheds light on the latest therapeutic modalities. Its comprehensive overview of the regulation of carbohydrate, protein, and lipid metabolism in diabetic and nondiabetic humans will prove an especially valuable contribution both to the clinical science and to the care of people suffering from obesity and diabetes.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -The aim of this textbook is to provide undergraduate students with an introduction to the basic theoretical models of computability, and to develop some of the model's rich and varied structure. Students who already have some experience with elementary discrete mathematics will find this a well-paced first course, and a number of supplementary chapters introduce more advanced concepts. The first part of the book is devoted to finite automata and their properties. Then, material on pushdown automata provides a broader class of models and enables the analysis of context-free languages. In the remaining chapters, Turing machines are introduced and the book culminates in discussions of effective computability, decidability, and Gödel's incompleteness theorems. Plenty of exercises are provided, ranging from the easy to the challenging. As a result, this text will make an ideal first course for students of computer science.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 420 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Knowledge-based systems are increasingly found in a wide variety of settings and this handbook has been written to meet a specific need in their widening use. While there have been many successful applications of knowledge-based systems, some applications have failed because they never received the corrective feedback that evaluation provides for keeping development focused on the users' needs in their actual working environment. This handbook provides a conceptual framework and compendium of methods for performing evaluations of knowledge-based systems during their development. Its focus is on the users' and subject matter experts' evaluation of the usefulness of the system, and not on the developers' testing of the adequacy of the programming code. The handbook permits evaluators to systematically answer the following kinds of questions: Does the knowledge-based system meet the users' task requirements Is the system easy to use Is the knowledge base logically consistent Does it meet the required level of expertise Does the system improve performance The authors have produced a handbook that will serve two audiences: a tool that can be used to create knowledge-based systems (practitioners, developers, and evaluators) and a framework that will stimulate more research in the area (academic researchers and students). To accomplish this, the handbook is built around a conceptual framework that integrates the different types of evaluations into the system of development process. The kinds of questions that can be answered, and the methods available for answering them, will change throughout the system development life cycle. And throughout this process, one needs to know what can be done, and what can't. It is this dichotomy that addresses needs in both the practitioner and academic research audiences. 420 pp. Englisch.…
