This book presents the first unified, practical framework for continuous-time series analysis using state-of-the-art neural architectures. Moving beyond traditional discrete-time methods, it directly addresses real-world challenges such as irregular sampling, asynchronous observations, and hidden system dynamics through Neural ODEs, SDEs, and CDEs.Covering both foundational and advanced models — RNNs, Transformers, graph networks, and emerging quantum-hybrid approaches — the book b...

Atlas of Salivary Gland Cytopathology with Histopathologic Correlations is a comprehensive diagnostic guide for anatomic pathologists that accurately identifies salivary gland disease using fine needle aspiration (FNA). It not only illustrates the cytomorphology and histology of salivary gland specimens, but also presents and contrasts common problem areas that can lead to erroneous interpretation. Clearly and concisely written by leaders in the field, this extensive volume is a h...

This MICCAI Challenges proceedings book includes contributions from the BraTS 2025 Lighthouse Challenge focusing on brain tumor image analysis, including longitudinal assessment of brain tumor response, generalizability of tumor segmentation methods across different entities, and inclusion of tumor entities for which there is currently limited annotated data. It also contains contributions from the AIMS-TBI 2025 Challenge that deals with the detection and segmentation of lesions in T1-weig...

The Conflict Resolution Grail explains what causes conflicts and offers the world an alternative solution. It goes beyond theory, techniques, policies, and interpersonal skills. This book helps you resolve your conflicts through awareness, compassion and a negotiator's toolbox.Global conflict is one of the top challenges the world faces today. Our survival as the human race demands that we pay attention to our own role in conflict. Resolving conflict on a global scale requires change at th...

Decision-making errors, both perceptual and logical, can have far-reaching consequences in our lives. To better understand how these errors can affect our decision-making, this book offers examples of mistakes people often make in their personal and professional lives. These mistakes can range from minor missteps to dramatic misjudgments, but ultimately all lead to a negative outcome. By examining examples of these blunders, one can better recognize the signals of faul...

This book presents a both detailed and comprehensive look at metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), a relatively new class of materials with a broad application potential. The beginning chapters focus on introducing the requisite fundamental knowledge of MOFs with respect to their classification, synthesis, functionalization approaches, and various other physiochemical facets such as structural morphology and coordination chemistry. The remaining chapters cover an array of diverse applications, ...
