Fuzzy Systems Modeling in Environmental and Health Risk Assessment Demonstrates the successful application of fuzzy systems modeling to real-world environmental and health problems. In Fuzzy Systems Modeling in Environmental and Health Risk Assessment, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date collection of the most successful and innovative attempts to apply fuzzy logic to problems involving environmental risk assessment, healthcare decision-making, the management of water distribution networks, and the optimization of water treatment and waste management systems. By explaining both the theoretical and practical aspects of using fuzzy systems modeling methods to solve complex problems, analyze risks and optimize system performance, this handy guide maintains a strongly application-oriented perspective throughout, offering readers a practical treatment of a cutting-edge subject. Since the pioneering work of Lotfi Zadeh, fuzzy logic (FL) analysis has been applied successfully in many scientific and real-life engineering situations, such as electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical, aerospace, agricultural, biomedical, computer, environmental, geological, industrial, etc.

Learn the facts about recycling and discover the best way to make an impact. Recycling is a simple action we can take that has an immediate positive effect. It keeps waste out of landfills, conserves natural resources, prevents pollution, and saves energy. Who wouldn’t want to do this? But recycling isn’t always straightforward. With so many different rules, it can be tough to work out the right thing to do. If you’re worried that you’re not recycling properly, or wondering whether you could be recycling more, this is the book for you. Recycling For Dummies cuts through the confusion around what you can and can’t recycle. This easy-to-follow manual breaks down recycling codes, symbols, and rules in a straightforward way that anyone can understand and apply.

Developed from the authors' graduate-level biostatistics course, Applied Categorical and Count Data Analysis, Second Edition explains how to perform the statistical analysis of discrete data, including categorical and count outcomes. The authors have been teaching categorical data analysis courses at the University of Rochester and Tulane University for more than a decade. This book embodies their decade-long experience and insight in teaching and applying statistical models for categorical and count data. The authors describe the basic ideas underlying each concept, model, and approach to give readers a good grasp of the fundamentals of the methodology without relying on rigorous mathematical arguments. The second edition covers classic concepts and popular topics, such as contingency tables, logistic regression models, and Poisson regression models, along with modern areas that include models for zero-modified count outcomes, parametric and semiparametric longitudinal data analysis, reliability analysis, and methods for dealing with missing values. As in the first edition, R, SAS, SPSS, and Stata programming codes are provided for all the examples, enabling readers to immediately experiment with the data in the examples and even adapt or extend the codes to fit data from their own studies.

This book is aimed to undergraduate STEM majors and to researchers using ordinary differential equations. It covers a wide range of STEM-oriented differential equation problems that can be solved using computational power series methods. Many examples are illustrated with figures and each chapter ends with discovery/research questions most of which are accessible to undergraduate students, and almost all of which may be extended to graduate level research. Methodologies implemented may also be useful for researchers to solve their differential equations analytically or numerically. The textbook can be used as supplementary for undergraduate coursework, graduate research, and for independent study. This text assumes that students have taken an elementary ODE course covering the basics mentioned above. This text could be used as a supplemental text in the upper-level undergraduate course discussed above. The material is intended for exploration and insight for these students, their instructors and, also, for scientists and engineers who encounter ODE dynamical systems in their work. This text can be used by instructors who desire interesting examples for these courses that highlight common ODE topics and demonstrate the strong relationship between ODEs, polynomials and power series solutions to these ODEs.

How does homebanking work? How are board games developed? How reliable can wind energy get? How do we discover forged paintings? Do smart girls stay single? How dangerous can a bioterrorist get? In all these questions (and many others), mathematics plays a crucial role in the search for an answer.​ This book tells the story behind twenty of these questions. This is explicitly not a mathematics book, but a book about the crucial role that mathematics plays in devising the creative solutions the world needs. The questions are divided into three categories: home, garden and kitchen mathematics; mathematics for the workplace; and mathematics for tomorrow's society. The themes illustrate not only the incredibly broad applicability of mathematics in the world around us, but also the great diversity of useful mathematical techniques.

Fluorescent Dye Labels and Stains The only comprehensive database of fluorophores and their physical and photochemical properties. Fluorophores are chemical compounds that strongly absorb in the ultraviolet, visible, and/or near-infrared and with bright emission in these ranges. As a result, they are exceptionally valuable as dyes for various analytical processes, capable of labelling and staining particular targets for purposes of fluorescent imaging, sensitive detection, and quantification (exhibiting linear responses over very wide concentration ranges). These compounds are many and varied, and panoramic views of their options, physical properties and their reactions to light excitations can be critical to their successful integration into chemical analysis, pharmaceutical analysis, clinical analysis, microscopies, optical bioimaging, cancer imaging, real-time PCR, flow cytometry, multiplexing in proteomics, life sciences in general, and many other high-tech fields (material sciences, traceability, photovoltaics, quantum computing).

This book offers a synthesis of research, curriculum examples, pedagogy models, and classroom recommendations for the effective use of robotics in STEM teaching and learning. Authors Chauhan and Kapila demonstrate how the use of educational robotics can improve and enhance student learning and understanding within the STEM disciplines. The science and technology of robotics design, manufacturing, and application has grown by leaps and bounds over the past decades. This revolution has been fueled by developments both in software (particularly Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence) as well as better understanding of the mechanics of movement and object manipulation. In that sense, robotics is almost a perfect encapsulation and convergence of ideas in the STEM (science, technology engineering, and mathematics) disciplines.
