You are what You Hear

How Music and Territory Make Us who We are

By: Harry Witchel

Pondering the musicality of everything from bird songs to the language he calls "motherese," Dr. Witchel illustrates the power of music and addresses the questions: Why do we have music? What does music do to our emotions? Can animals hear and understand music? What does music do to your brain? Why do people listen to sad music? Why do some people like classical but others only like heavy metal? Is there some essential feature to all music?You Are What You Hearis an erudite and entertaining study that is unique in many ways. No other book has thoroughly elaborated the connection between music and social territory in humans, although in other music-making species scientists have shown this connection to be clear-cut. Given the wealth of scientific evidence and historical narratives presented inYou Are What You Hear, an intellectual investigation of this avenue is long overdue. Written by a psychobiologist, the work straddles hard science and psychology, approaching music from a unique interdisciplinary perspective. Successfully bridging these strands of evidence,You Are What You Hearelucidates the significance of territory not only in music but in daily life. This lively and engaging book will have a broad appeal — not only to the general public, but to students interested in the relationship between music and culture. Anyone from seventeen to ninety-seven will have the potential to gain something from this book.

Writing for Biomedical Sciences Students

By: Harry Witchel

This book will equip readers with all the skills needed to write convincing and polished assignments in biomedical sciences. The first part introduces the idea of writing for one's audience and enables readers to understand what's expected of them from different types of assignment. Part two provides detailed guidance on specific writing and presentation tasks, with individual chapters on essays, lab reports, reflective writing, posters and presentations. Parts three and four cover all of the key skills needed for successful writing in the biomedical sciences and help students develop a critical eye when selecting and researching information and create clear, well-structured assignments. Chapters contain top tips, examples and helpful summaries of key points, and three annotated sample assignments are provided in an appendix. This is an essential companion to any student studying biomedical science or related disciplines such as physiology, biomedical engineering, pharmacy, medicine and dentistry.

Privacy-Preserving Deep Learning

A Comprehensive Survey

By: Kwangjo Kim,Harry Chandra Tanuwidjaja

This book discusses the state-of-the-art in privacy-preserving deep learning (PPDL), especially as a tool for machine learning as a service (MLaaS), which serves as an enabling technology by combining classical privacy-preserving and cryptographic protocols with deep learning. Google and Microsoft announced a major investment in PPDL in early 2019. This was followed by Google’s infamous announcement of “Private Join and Compute,” an open source PPDL tools based on secure multi-party computation (secure MPC) and homomorphic encryption (HE) in June of that year. One of the challenging issues concerning PPDL is selecting its practical applicability despite the gap between the theory and practice. In order to solve this problem, it has recently been proposed that in addition to classical privacy-preserving methods (HE, secure MPC, differential privacy, secure enclaves), new federated or split learning for PPDL should also be applied. This concept involves building a cloud framework that enables collaborative learning while keeping training data on client devices. This successfully preserves privacy and while allowing the framework to be implemented in the real world. This book provides fundamental insights into privacy-preserving and deep learning, offering a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art in PPDL methods. It discusses practical issues, and leveraging federated or split-learning-based PPDL. Covering the fundamental theory of PPDL, the pros and cons of current PPDL methods, and addressing the gap between theory and practice in the most recent approaches, it is a valuable reference resource for a general audience, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practitioners interested learning about PPDL from the scratch, and researchers wanting to explore PPDL for their applications.

Basic Medical Endocrinology

By: Elizabeth H. Holt,Harry E. Peery

Basic Medical Endocrinology, Fourth Edition provides up-to-date coverage of rapidly unfolding advances in the understanding of hormones involved in regulating most aspects of bodily functions. Topics are approached from the perspective of a physiologist with over 40 years of teaching experience. This fourth edition is richly illustrated in full color with both descriptive schematic diagrams and laboratory findings obtained in clinical studies. Each of the fourteen chapters starts with an overview of the topic and ends with a Suggested Reading list. Initial chapters lay a foundation by presenting basic information and principles of hormone structure, secretion, and actions, and the physiological roles of the principal endocrine glands. Subsequent chapters address the role of the endocrine system in solving such physiological problems as the regulation of the volume and composition of body fluids in the face of changing environmental demands, and the regulation of short- and long-term energy balance. The final chapters deal with the indispensable role of hormones in growth, development and reproduction. Strikes an excellent balance between systems/organismal level of overview and cellular/molecular analysis Richly illustrated with over 250 full color figures, descriptive schematic diagrams, and laboratory findings All chapters have been thoroughly rewritten and updated, including new discussions of adrenal steroid biosynthesis, the parathyroid in osteoporosis, obesity and metabolism, as well as an entirely new chapter on gastrointestinal hormones Editor has 45 years of experience teaching endocrinology and physiology to medical students at Harvard and UMass
