This atlas and reference resource assembles the latest research findings on the responsibility and obligation of human society for historical climate change. It clearly and quantitatively estimates to what extent the developed and developing world are responsible for historical climate change with regard to anthropogenic carbon and sulfur emissions as well as global carbon trade, and so provides a potential tool to address the controversial issue of carbon emission reduction in internation...

Neutrosophic Set in Medical Image Analysis gives an understanding of the concepts of NS, along with knowledge on how to gather, interpret, analyze and handle medical images using NS methods. It presents the latest cutting-edge research that gives insight into neutrosophic set's novel techniques, strategies and challenges, showing how it can be used in biomedical diagnoses systems. The neutrosophic set (NS), which is a generalization of fuzzy set, offers the prospect of overcoming the restr...

Snoekand Yan GuoThis definitive handbook brings together an international array of experts to present the broad, cells-to-society perspectives of behavioral medicine that complement conventional models of health, health care, and prevention. In addition to applications to assessment, diagnosis, interv...

This book provides a cohesive overview of the current technological advances in computational radiology, and their applications in orthopaedic interventions.Contributed by the leading researchers in the field, this volume covers not only basic computational radiology techniques such as statistical shape modeling, CT/MRI segmentation, augmented reality and micro-CT image processing, but also the applications of these techniques to various orthopaedic interventional tasks. Details ab...

This book explores the challenges involved in handling medical big data in the diagnosis of neurological disorders. It discusses how to optimally reduce the number of neuropsychological tests during the classification of these disorders by using feature selection methods based on the diagnostic information of enrolled subjects. The book includes key definitions/models and covers their applications in different types of signal/image processing for neurological disorder data. An extensive di...
