Aspects of mathematical modelling : Applications in science, medicine, economics and management
The construction of mathematical models is an essential scientific activity. Mathematics has long been associated with developments in the exact sciences and engineering, but more recently mathematical modelling has been used to investigate complex systems that arise in many other fields. The contributors to this book demonstrate the application of mathematics to modern research topics in ecology and environmental science, health and medicine, phylogenetics and neural networks, theoretical chemistry, economics and management. The reader will find some review papers outlining current research directions in hot topics such as pattern formation and applications to medicine, and more targeted research papers on current developments in the various disciplines included.
Ascochyta blights of grain legumes
Ascochyta blights consistently affect large areas of grain legume production (pea, lentil, chickpea and faba bean) in all countries where they are cultivated. These diseases are capable of causing large yield losses under conducive environmental conditions. This book considers the state of the art by taking a comparative approach of Ascochyta blight diseases of cool season food and feed legumes. Topics considered are pathogen diversity, legume genetics and breeding, and integrated disease management.

Artificial immune systems ; Vol. 3627 ; 4th International conference, ICARIS 2005, Banff, Alberta, Canada, August 14-17, 2005, Proceedings
Your immune system is unique. It is in many ways as complex as your brain, butit is not centred in one location, like the brain. It is not a single organ—it consistsof many different cell types, diverse methods of intercellular communication, andmany different organs. Its functionality is blurred throughout you—we can’textract the immune system, or point to where it begins and ends. The immunesystem is not separable from the system it protects. It has integral links to everyorgan of our bodies.This has radical implications for the field of Artificial Immune Systems (AIS),that we are only now beginning to comprehend. One of the first insights is thatmodelling the immune system, or developing any kind of immune algorithm, isdifficult. The immune system is one aspect of biology that we find difficult toapply simple reductionist explanations to. We can very successfully extract sub-processes of the whole and create immune algorithms based on those processes.
