Prospective Longevity: A New Vision of Population Aging
by Warren C. Sanderson Sergei ScherbovWarren Sanderson and Sergei Scherbov argue for a new way to measure individual and population aging. Instead of counting how many years we’ve lived, we should think about our “prospective age”—the number of years we expect to have left. Their pioneering model can generate better demographic estimates, which inform better policy choices.

This book also features a collection of privacy-preserving machine learning applications powered by homomorphic encryption designed by groups of top graduate students worldwide at the Private AI Bootcamp hosted by Microsoft Research.The volume aims to connect non-expert readers with this important new cryptographic technology in an accessible and actionable way. Readers who have heard good things about homomorphic encryption but are not familiar with the details will find this book full of inspiration. Readers who have preconceived biases based on out-of-date knowledge will see the recent progress made by industrial and academic pioneers on optimizing and standardizing this technology. A clear picture of how homomorphic encryption works, how to use it to solve real-world problems, and how to efficiently strengthen privacy protection, will naturally become clear.
Protecting Your Privacy in a Data-Driven World (ASA-CRC Series on Statistical Reasoning in Science and Society)
by Claire McKay BowenAt what point does the sacrifice to our personal information outweigh the public good? If public policymakers had access to our personal and confidential data, they could make more evidence-based, data-informed decisions that could accelerate economic recovery and improve COVID-19 vaccine distribution. However, access to personal data comes at a steep privacy cost for contributors, especially underrepresented groups. Protecting Your Privacy in a Data-Driven World is a practical, nontechnical guide that explains the importance of balancing these competing needs and calls for careful consideration of how data are collected and disseminated by our government and the private sector. Not addressing these concerns can harm the same communities policymakers are trying to protect through data privacy and confidentiality legislation.

Protein Families
by Christine Orengo Vladimir Uversky Alex BatemanNew insights into the evolution and nature of proteinsExploring several distinct approaches, this book describes the methods for comparing protein sequences and protein structures in order to identify homologous relationships and classify proteins and protein domains into evolutionary families. Readers will discover the common features as well as the key philosophical differences underlying the major protein classification systems, including Pfam, Panther, SCOP, and CATH. Moreover, they'll discover how these systems can be used to understand the evolution of protein families as well as understand and predict the degree to which structural and functional information are shared between relatives in a protein family.Edited and authored by leading international experts, Protein Families offers new insights into protein families that are important to medical research as well as protein families that help us understand biological systems and key biological processes such as cell signaling and the immune response. The book is divided into three sections: Section I: Concepts Underlying Protein Family Classification reviews the major strategies for identifying homologous proteins and classifying them into families. Section II: In-Depth Reviews of Protein Families focuses on some fascinating super protein families for which we have substantial amounts of sequence, structural and functional data, making it possible to trace the emergence of functionally diverse relatives. Section III: Review of Protein Families in Important Biological Systems examines protein families associated with a particular biological theme, such as the cytoskeleton.All chapters are extensively illustrated, including depictions of evolutionary relationships. References at the end of each chapter guide readers to original research papers and reviews in the field.Covering protein family classification systems alongside detailed descriptions of select protein families, this book offers biochemists, molecular biologists, protein scientists, structural biologists, and bioinformaticians new insight into the evolution and nature of proteins.
Protein Function Prediction
by Daisuke KiharaGene function annotation has been a central question in molecular biology. The importance of computational function prediction is increasing because more and more large scale biological data, including genome sequences, protein structures, protein-protein interaction data, microarray expression data, and mass spectrometry data, are awaiting biological interpretation. Traditionally when a genome is sequenced, function annotation of genes is done by homology search methods, such as BLAST or FASTA. However, since these methods are developed before the genomics era, conventional use of them is not necessarily most suitable for analyzing a large scale data. Therefore we observe emerging development of computational gene function prediction methods, which are targeted to analyze large scale data, and also those which use such omics data as additional source of function prediction. In this book, we overview this emerging exciting field. The authors have been selected from 1) those who develop novel purely computational methods 2) those who develop function prediction methods which use omics data 3) those who maintain and update data base of function annotation of particular model organisms (E. coli), which are frequently referred
Protein Homology Detection Through Alignment of Markov Random Fields
by Jinbo Xu Sheng Wang Jianzhu MaThis work covers sequence-based protein homology detection, a fundamental and challenging bioinformatics problem with a variety of real-world applications. The text first surveys a few popular homology detection methods, such as Position-Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSM) and Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based methods, and then describes a novel Markov Random Fields (MRF) based method developed by the authors. MRF-based methods are much more sensitive than HMM- and PSSM-based methods for remote homolog detection and fold recognition, as MRFs can model long-range residue-residue interaction. The text also describes the installation, usage and result interpretation of programs implementing the MRF-based method.

Proving Darwin: Making Biology Mathematical
by Gregory ChaitinGroundbreaking mathematician Gregory Chaitin gives us the first book to posit that we can prove how Darwin's theory of evolution works on a mathematical level. For years it has been received wisdom among most scientists that, just as Darwin claimed, all of the Earth's life-forms evolved by blind chance. But does Darwin's theory function on a purely mathematical level? Has there been enough time for evolution to produce the remarkable biological diversity we see around us? It's a question no one has yet answered--in fact, no one has even attempted to answer it until now. In this illuminating and provocative book, Gregory Chaitin argues that we can't be sure evolution makes sense without a mathematical theory. He elucidates the mathematical scheme he's developed that can explain life itself, and examines the works of mathematical pioneers John von Neumann and Alan Turing through the lens of biology. Chaitin presents an accessible introduction to metabiology, a new way of thinking about biological science that highlights the mathematical structures underpinning the biological world. Fascinating and thought-provoking, Proving Darwin makes clear how biology may have found its greatest ally in mathematics.

Sowohl bei der Entwicklung als auch bei der Bearbeitung der eigenen Aufgaben konnten Problem Posing- und Modellierungsaktivitäten identifiziert werden. Basierend auf den identifizierten Aktivitäten und deren Verbindungen entwickelt die Autorin Hypothesen, die zur Erweiterung des Modellierungskreislaufs aus einer Problem Posing-Perspektive genutzt werden.
Prüfungstrainer Analysis
by Rolf Busam Thomas EppDieser „Prüfungstrainer“ wendet sich an Studierende mit Mathematik als Haupt- oder Nebenfach, die – insbesondere bei der Prüfungs- oder Klausurvorbereitung – den Wunsch verspüren, als Ergänzung zu den Lehrbüchern den umfangreichen Stoff des Analysisgrundstudiums noch einmal in pointierter Form vorliegen zu haben, zugespitzt auf dasjenige, was man wirklich wissen und beherrschen sollte, um eine Prüfung erfolgreich zu bestehen und exakte Antworten auf mögliche Fragen formulieren zu können.In einem konzisen Frage-Antworten-Stil werden die zentralen Begriffe und Beweise der Analysis wiederholt. Mehr noch als auf die Rechenfähigkeit (die sicherlich auch notwendig ist und nicht zu kurz kommt) wird dabei Wert auf das grundsätzliche Verständnis wichtiger Konzepte gelegt. Dem Autorenduo – einem Dozenten mit langjähriger Vorlesungs- und Prüfungserfahrung und einem Mathematikabsolventen – ist es sehr gut gelungen, mit der Auswahl der Fragen ein realistisches Bild davon zu vermitteln, was einen Studenten in der mündlichen Prüfung oder einer Klausur typischerweise erwartet.Durch die Gliederung des Stoffes in einzelne Fragen eignet sich das Buch ausgezeichnet dazu, Wissen stichpunktartig zu trainieren und zu überprüfen; auch höhere Semester können davon profitieren, wenn sie schon einmal Gelerntes noch einmal gezielt nachschlagen wollen. Eine besondere Attraktion stellen die ca. 180 Abbildungen dar, die geometrische Sachverhalte veranschaulichen.Die 2. Auflage wurde vollständig durchgesehen, didaktisch weiter verbessert und um neue Fragen ergänzt.
