Gravitational Wave Astrophysics

This bookoffers review chapters written by invited speakers of the 3rd Session of the Sant Cugat Forum on Astrophysics – Gravitational Waves Astrophysics. All chapters have been peer reviewed. The book goes beyond normal conference proceedings in that itprovides a wide panorama of the astrophysics of gravitational waves and serves as a reference work for researchers in the field.

Carlos F. Sopuerta is working at the Institute of Space Sciences (CSIC-IEEC)Barcelonaas a Ramn y Cajal Researcher. His main research interest lies in the new area of Gravitational Wave Astronomy.,

Starting to Read ECGs

Starting to Read ECGs

This book is book aims to provide the beginner with a concise, practical and systematic guide to interpreting ECGs. It will serve not only as a starter text but also as an immediate bedside reference manual. Starting to Read ECGs: The Basics begins with fundamentals such as how to perform, record and interpret a normal ECG before progressing onto more complex topics, including what effects anatomical abnormalities of the heart, cardiac and non-cardiac conditions can have on the ECG. Each chapter has been supplemented with a multitude of images and diagrams to illustrate points and ease understanding, and concludes with both a summary of key points to reinforce knowledge and a quiz for reflective learning.

The Basal Ganglia IX

The Basal Ganglia IX

The aim of the International Basal Ganglia Society (IBAGS) is to further our understanding of normal basal ganglia function and the pathophysiology of disorders of the basal ganglia, including Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and schizophrenia. Each triennial meeting of IBAGS brings together basic research scientists from all disciplines as well as clinicians who are actively involved in the treatment of basal ganglia disorders, to discuss the most recent advances in the field and to generate new approaches and ideas for the future.

Fuzzy Probabilities New Approach and Applications

Fuzzy Probabilities New Approach and Applications

In probability and statistics we often have to estimate probabilities and parameters in probability distributions using a random sample. Instead of using a point estimate calculated from the data we propose using fuzzy numbers which are constructed from a set of confidence intervals. In probability calculations we apply constrained fuzzy arithmetic because probabilities must add to one. Fuzzy random variables have fuzzy distributions. A fuzzy normal random variable has the normal distribution with fuzzy number mean and variance. Applications are to queuing theory, Markov chains, inventory control, decision theory and reliability theory.
