Sensory information is detected and transformed by sensory neural networks before reaching higher levels of processing. These networks need to perform significant processing tasks while being compatible with the following levels. Lateral inhibition is a mechanism of local neuronal interaction that produces significant global properties. This book discusses those sensory neural networks influenced by nonlinear lateral inhibition. It features biological bases of lateral inhibition models, computational properties of these models that stress their short term adaptive behavior, their relation to recent activity in neural networks and connectionist systems, their use for image processing applications, and their application to motion detection. Descriptions from different technologies of analog hardware implementations of these classes of networks are described and results from implementations that corroborate theoretical analysis and show technologically desirable applications are presented. The book also uses nonlinear mathematical techniques to analyze temporal and spatial behavior of models presented within the text. Sensory Neural Networks: Lateral Inhibition is an interdisciplinary work that will prove useful to neural network theorists, biologists, circuit designers, and vision scientists.

Nonlinear Vision: Determination of Neural Receptive Fields, Function, and Networks

By: Robert B. Pinter

This text brings to vision research a treatment different from that often found in books on the subject in its emphasis on nonlinear aspects of vision, from human perception to eye cells of the fly. There is considerable emphasis on mathematics, which forms not only models but the algorithms for processing data.

The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology, Second Edition

By: Hagop M. Kantarjian,Robert A. Wolff

State-of-the-art approaches to cancer management from the world's #1 oncology center The perfect clinical desk manual from the experts at MD Anderson Cancer Center Read the outstanding reviews of the previous edition: "As a detailed guide, [the book] offers practitioners a clear, user-friendly approach to the care of patients with cancer." -- New England Journal of Medicine "The portions of the text that summarize the chemotherapeutic literature are helpful and potentially useful to a busy medical oncologist. The graphic representations and flow charts are of high quality, are well designed and easy to follow, and are clinically useful. A number of good photographs have been provided that illustrate pathologic conditions....the Manual is well written, has extremely useful graphics, and represents a useful entry point for those interested in the management of malignant diseases." -- International Journal of Radiation Oncology, Biology, Physics "...[MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology] fulfills its goals of helping clinicians quickly evaluate therapeutic regimens and possibilities. Surgeons and radiation oncologists will find the text useful as a reference guide to what the medical oncologist can do and how the medical oncologist views their disciplines. The text is also of considerable help for physicians studying for board certification or recertification in medical oncology. Practicing medical oncologists would do well to have it in their personal libraries." -- Journal of the American Medical Association MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology offers clinicians an authoritative, easy-to-follow guide to the medical management of patients with cancer and its complications. Featuring concise but practical text and a large number of decision-making algorithms, the book gives physicians a current, templated approach to each disease and situation -- backed by the clincal expertise and authority of world recognized oncology researchers/practitioners. Key Features REVISED: competely updated coverage of the quickly evolving world of cancer therapeutics NEW: chapters include "Expert Commentary Sidebars" that provide clinical insights from leading subspecialists in radiation therapy, surgical oncology, pathology, and laboratory medicine NEW: brand new chapters on myelodysplasia, myeloproliferative diseases, and appendiceal cancer NEW: a brand new chapter on the important and underpublished topic of psycho-social issues in oncology Consistently formatted for a unified patient management strategy Packed with time-saving features, including The MD Anderson Work-Up Box and The MD Anderson Preferred Treatment Box

The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology, Third Edition

By: Hagop M. Kantarjian,Robert A. Wolff

Authoritative, hands-on desk reference for the practicing oncologist—from the leader in the field of cancer management and treatment A Doody's Core Title for 2019! The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology details the personalized multidisciplinary approach to cancer management and treatment of common and rare cancers pioneered by The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Its pragmatic presentation can provide valuable insights at any stage of your career. This completely updated third edition reflects the most recent advancements, including expanded coverage of the rapidly evolving area of biological and immune therapies of cancer, many developed at MD Anderson. It emphasizes and discusses continuing developments in diagnostic procedures, which include the incorporation of new molecular markers and revised staging systems. It also reinforces how imaging and molecular profiling can prevent administration of overly aggressive, toxic treatment regimens or invasive surgery to treat superficial or indolent tumors. To help you quickly assess cancer management options, every chapter includes numerous tables, diagrams, imaging photographs, and prescriptive advice. Evidence-based treatment algorithms in the form of flowcharts and diagrams shaped by the clinical experience of MD Anderson’s world-class faculty enhance the text. The third edition features important new chapters on key topics such as: · Pediatric Cancers · Molecular Biomarkers and Cancer · Immuno-Oncology · Targeted Therapies in Cancer · Onco-Cardiology · Pulmonary Complications of Cancer Therapy · Applied Biostatistics Offering the perfect balance of narrative text, summary tables, and clinical photographs (many in full color), there is truly not a more accessible, up-to-date, or authoritative clinician’s guide to the medical management of patients with cancer and its complications than The MD Anderson Manual of Medical Oncology.
