Fuzzy and Rough Techniques in Medical Diagnosis and Medication
This volume provides readers with selected fuzzy and rough tools used to medical tasks, especially diagnosing and medication. To build a link between theoretical, mathematical excerpts and practical medical applications, the contents is formed as a sequence of occurrences in which a patient appears to be diagnosed and cured. The fuzzy and rough elements are inserted in the book in the order required by the presentation of medical substance to maintain the logical unity of the book’s essence. In conformity with this pattern the essay presents in turn some necessary elements of fuzzy set theory, the classical fuzzy diagnostic model with extensions, the fuzzy diagnostic model with clinical examinations extended throughout time based on distance theory, methods of drug effectiveness measurements and algorithms selecting the optimal medicine. As the complement, the solution of an approximation problem is suggested to find a curve that surrounds two-dimensional clock-like point sets with the little approximation error.
Cancer cell biology : methods and protocols
Provides detailed methods on the mechanisms of underlying cancer cell biology. Chapters guide readers through techniques for culturing cancer cell lines, xenografts, cryopreservation of tumor cells, analyzing the co-culture of breast cancer cells, protein secretion by ELISA, flow cytometry-based, multi-parametric immunofluorescence analysis, protein expression by western blot, analysis of surface protein levels, protein recycling by biotinylation assay, and proteomics analysis by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.
