Название начинается с "r" всего: 99 страницы (5): 1 2 3 4 5 > Chapman & Hall/CRC Computer Science & Data Analysis Murrell P. 2005; 328стр.; ISBN: 158488486X Book Description R is revolutionizing the world of statistical computing. Powerful, flexible, and best of all free, R is now the program of choice for tens of thousands of statisticians. Destined to become an instant classic, R Graphics presents the first complete, authoritative exposition on the R graphical system. Paul Murrell, widely known as the leading expert on R graphics, has developed an in-depth resource that takes nothing for granted and helps both neophyte and seasoned users master the intricacies of R graphics. After an introductory overview of R graphics facilities, the presentation first focuses on the traditional graphics system, showing how to work the traditional functions, describing functions that are available to produce complete plots, and how to customize the details of plots. The second part of the book describes the grid graphics system - a system unique to R and much more powerful than the traditional system. The author, who was integral in the development of the grid system, shows, starting from a blank page, how it can be used to produce graphical scenes. He also describes how to develop new graphical functions that are easy for others to use and build on. Appendices contain a brief introduction to the R system in general and discuss how the traditional and grid graphics systems can be combined. Much of the information presented in this book cannot be found anywhere else. Well ahead of the curve, particularly regarding the grid system, R Graphics will have a major impact on the future direction of statistical graphics development.

Doody Review Services Reviewer: Aidnag Z. Diaz, MD, MPH (University of Washington) Description: This book provides an overview of radioimmunotherapy, the targeted delivery of radiation to cancer cells via conjugated monoclonal antibodies to tumor-specific antigens. Purpose: The editors' stated purpose is to detail the current state of development in radioimmunotherapy, including underlying principles, technology, targeting issues, and clinical applications. Audience: Although radiation oncologists and medical oncologists are the primary intended audience, this book is a source of valuable information for interested individuals in nuclear medicine, radiobiology, immunology, biochemistry, and physics. Features: The book is laid out in three major sections. The first portion focuses on radiobiologic and dosimetric considerations, as well as radioisotope chemistry. The second section describes challenges encountered in tumor targeting, and includes an excellent discussion of aspects of tumor architecture that impede optimal monoclonal antibody uptake. Novel approaches to overcome these therapeutic obstacles, including the development of genetically engineered antibodies, pretargeting techniques, and extracorporeal clearing procedures, are outlined. The final section reviews clinical experiences to date with radioimmunotherapy. Assessment: The book provides a concise and useful synopsis of a complicated and multidisciplinary subject. Topics and subtopics within each chapter are well organized and readily comprehended by readers with varying levels of familiarity with this field of cancer therapy. Each chapter includes a comprehensive bibliography that is an invaluable guide for the interested reader to the broader published literature. Although adequate, more liberal use of illustrations would further clarify some of the complex concepts. The book fulfills its purpose well. It is a useful primer for those interested in radioimmunotherapy and a good review for subspecialists already in the field who wish to familiarize themselves with other facets of this evolving and exciting therapy and technology.

D. T. Maglinte & S. E. Rubesin W. B. Saunders Co. ISBN: 0663591651 (Thieme Flexibook) Pasler F.A. Georg Thieme Verlag; 1992; 266стр.; ISBN: 3137819016 Today, for patients of any age, a "panoramic" radiograph that allows high diagnostic reliability with minimum radiation exposure must be acknowledged as the standard of care. The new, more medically and legally "responsible" strategy for examination of patients is closely intertwined with a basic principle of patient care. Panoramic radiograph is rapidly becoming a meaningful and normal component of dental practice-oriented "prevention". This Atlas presents the proper use of optimum radiographic exposure and contemporary techniques for today's dental office. Emphasis is placed on the reliable recognition of normal structures in the projected space and clear differentiation of normal features from pathological radiographic signs. These major topics of fundamental importance for correct interpretation are treated more extensively. The section on diagnosis deals in depth with the typical radiographic manifestations of frequently occurring pathological processes. Inherent in that section of the book is the basic understanding that the radiopathologic manifestation of one and the same lesion may vary considerably depending on the patient's age and sex, on the phase of development of the lesion at the time of documentation, on the localization within different surrounding structures, and according to actual histologic features of the lesion. Hopkins R., Peden C., Gandhi S. Greenwich Medical Media; 2002; 352стр.; ISBN: 1841101192 As more anaesthetists become involved in critical care and other areas of perioperative management, they need to be able to request radiological investigations, and interpret the results quickly and accurately. This concise and fully illustrated book covers the key aspects of imaging that are of relevance to anaesthetists and intensivists, and examines all imaging modalities that are likely to be called upon (plain film, CT, MRI etc.). The book is organised logically by body system for ease of access to information and is written by a team of radiologists and anaesthetists, providing a dual perspective. Misra R.R., Uthappa M.C., Datta P.K., Misra R.R., Uthappa C. Greenwich Medical Media; 2002; 288стр.; ISBN: 1841100331 Book Description Imaging is now an almost routine part of the first-line investigation of many patient conditions and, as such, it is vital that the surgeon has an understanding of how to rapidly interpret and diagnose all forms of images (plain film, CT, MRI etc.). Radiology for Surgeons is a superbly illustrated guide to interpreting all forms of images, aimed specifically at the trainee general surgeon. Information is presented by organ/system, and each 'case' is illustrated with high quality halftones and superb gross colour specimen illustrations where necessary to highlight underlying pathology. All 'cases' follow a consistent format, which aids understanding and rapid access to and assimilation of information. Book Info Lappin G., Temple S.

From the Publisher A unique overview that melds the concepts of conditional probability and stochastic processes into real-life applications The role of randomization techniques in clinical trials has become increasingly important. This comprehensive guide combines both the applied aspects of randomization in clinical trials with a probabilistic treatment of properties of randomization. Taking an unabashedly non-Bayesian and nonparametric approach to inference, the book focuses on the linear rank test under a randomization model, with added discussion on likelihood-based inference as it relates to sufficiency and ancillarity. Developments in stochastic processes and applied probability are also given where appropriate. Intuition is stressed over mathematics, but not without a clear development of the latter in the context of the former. Providing a consolidated review of the field, the book includes relevant and practical discussions of: The benefits of randomization in terms of reduction of bias Randomization as a basis for inference Covariate-adaptive and response-adaptive randomization Current philosophies, controversies, and new developments With ample problem sets, theoretical exercises, and short computer simulations using SAS, Randomization in Clinical Trials: Theory and Practice is equally useful as a standard textbook in biostatistics graduate programs as well as a reliable reference for biostatisticians in practice. Synopsis Rosenberger (mathematics and statistics, University of Maryland) and Lachin (biostatistics and statistics, George Washington University) combine applied aspects of randomization in clinical trials with a probabilistic treatment of properties of randomization in this text/reference for biostatistics graduate students and biostatisticians in practice. Taking a non-Bayesian and nonparametric approach to inference, they focus on the linear rank test under a randomization model, and discuss likelihood-based inference as well.

CRC Press; 2000; 608стр.; ISBN: 0849308917 Book Description In recent years, the field of radical chemistry has undergone explosive growth. Although its roots lie in organic chemistry, the implications of its findings are having enormous impact in a broad range of disciplines, and we now have evidence for radical involvement in over 100 diseases. As important as this is, however, the subject of radicals and reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) is complex and barely touched upon in the curriculum of medical schools. Reactive Oxygen Metabolites brings the subject within the grasp of even those with little preparation in chemistry. From the basic chemistry of radicals through the pathology, the author provides a clear and thorough introduction to ROMs and their importance to human health and disease. Exhaustively researched and referenced, this highly readable work will give you the ability to critically analyze and evaluate many pathological problems arising from the chemistry of ROMs and reduce them to their lowest common denominator. It is the ideal vehicle for people who need to understand the importance of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in human health and disease but have neither the time, the inclination, nor perhaps the background to work their way through the mountain of original literature.

Humana Press; 1998; 304стр.; ISBN: 0896035301 This cutting-edge collection of step-by-step experimental protocols demonstrates the power of radioligand binding for studying a wide variety of receptors. The methods can be applied to G protein–coupled receptors, receptors with integral ion channels, and sites other than receptors, such as guanine nucleotide binding proteins, enzymes, transporters, and mRNA. The individual protocols encompass many different preparations, ranging from solubilized receptors, through membrane preparations, intact cells, and autoradiography in tissue slices, to PET and SPECT analysis of binding in living human brain. Along with the detailed, easily reproducible instructions, the protocols also address the problems inherent in the basic binding technique, such as common experimental artifacts and the definition of receptor sites, as well as problems associated with the use of particular ligands and receptor preparations. Receptor Binding Techniques shows clearly how these methods can be adapted to many different applications and fully utilized in drug discovery programs. |
