Genomics Data Analysis False Discovery Rates and Empirical Bayes Methods

Genomics Data Analysis False Discovery Rates and Empirical Bayes Methods

Statisticians have met the need to test hundreds or thousands of genomics hypotheses simultaneously with novel empirical Bayes methods that combine advantages of traditional Bayesian and frequentist statistics. Techniques for estimating the local false discovery rate assign probabilities of differential gene expression genetic association etc. without requiring subjective prior distributions. This book brings these methods to scientists while keeping the mathematics at an elementary level. Readers will learn the fundamental concepts behind local false discovery rates preparing them to analyze their own genomics data and to critically evaluate published genomics research. Key Features:* dice games and exercises including one using interactive software for teaching the concepts in the classroom* examples focusing on gene expression and on genetic association data and briefly covering metabolomics data and proteomics data* gradual introduction to the mathematical equations needed* how to choose between different methods of multiple hypothesis testing* how to convert the output of genomics hypothesis testing software to estimates of local false discovery rates* guidance through the minefield of current criticisms of p values* material on non-Bayesian prior p values and posterior p values not previously published | Genomics Data Analysis False Discovery Rates and Empirical Bayes Methods

Paracoccidioidomycosis

Paracoccidioidomycosis

Paracoccidioidomycosis continues to be a serious health problem among rural workers in many Latin American countries. This deep mycosis has many similarities to other deep mycoses that affect the developed world. Furthermore P. brasiliensis is becoming an excellent tool for basic studies (e. g. dimorphism hormone-mediated host interactions ecology). Paracoccidioidomycosis is an important publication with 30 chapters covering every aspect of the disease from its etiological agent P. brasiliensis to the clinical manifestations and treatment. The chapters are written by 45 specialists each one a leading figure in his or her area of research. This reference is the first of its kind to be written in English. The book is a valuable addition to the reference collections of basic researchers and applied mycologists as well as clinicians and others working with infectious and tropical diseases. It can also be used for courses on medical mycology.

Biology of Perch

Biology of Perch

The genus Perca includes only three species of fish but they are ubiquitous and abundant in freshwater and brackish environments of the northern hemisphere from North America to Europe and Asia. These species are important both ecologically and economically. In Biology of Perch world-renowned specialists review and update the biology of these fish. The book opens with a review of the genetic makeup of this complex assemblage from early post-glacial dispersion to the colonization of new habitats. The influences of geomorphological and biological factors on the dispersal of yellow perch (Perca flavescens) are explored. Two case studies exploit unique historical databases to follow population dynamics of yellow perch and European perch (P. fluviatilis) and to demonstrate how fisheries and habitat management can drastically influence the fate of fish populations. Three other chapters are dedicated to the general reproductive physiology parasitology and behavior of Perca species. The third species the Balkhash perch (P. schrenkii) is a rare and threatened species of the Balkans and a chapter is dedicated to its biology. The book ends with a review of the use of Perca species around the world as sentinels of ecological integrity and biomonitors in ecotoxicological studies.

Quantum Optomechanics

Quantum Optomechanics

Written by leading experimentalist Warwick P. Bowen and prominent theoretician Gerard J. Milburn Quantum Optomechanics discusses modern developments in this novel field from experimental and theoretical standpoints. The authors share their insight on a range of important topics including optomechanical cooling and entanglement; quantum limits on measurement precision and how to overcome them via back-action evading measurements; feedback control; single photon and nonlinear optomechanics; optomechanical synchronization; coupling of optomechanical systems to microwave circuits and two-level systems such as atoms and superconducting qubits; and optomechanical tests of gravitational decoherence. The book first introduces the basic physics of quantum harmonic oscillators and their interactions with their environment. It next discusses the radiation pressure interaction between light and matter deriving common Hamiltonians used in quantum optomechanics. It then focuses on the linearized regime of quantum optomechanics before exploring scenarios where the simple linearized picture of quantum optomechanics no longer holds. The authors move on to hybrid optomechanical systems in which the canonical quantum optomechanical system is coupled to another quantum object. They explain how an alternative form of a hybrid optomechanical system leads to the phenomenon of synchronization. They also consider the impact of quantum optomechanics on tests of gravitational physics.

Indium Nitride and Related Alloys

Indium Nitride and Related Alloys

Written by recognized leaders in this dynamic and rapidly expanding field Indium Nitride and Related Alloys provides a clear and comprehensive summary of the present state of knowledge in indium nitride (InN) research. It elucidates and clarifies the often confusing and contradictory scientific literature to provide valuable and rigorous insight into the structural optical and electronic properties of this quickly emerging semiconductor material and its related alloys. Drawing from both theoretical and experimental perspectives it provides a thorough review of all data since 2001 when the band gap of InN was identified as 0. 7 eV. The superior transport and optical properties of InN and its alloys offer tremendous potential for a wide range of device applications including high-efficiency solar cells and chemical sensors. Indeed the now established narrow band gap nature of InN means that the InGaN alloys cover the entire solar spectrum and InAlN alloys span from the infrared to the ultraviolet. However with unsolved problems including high free electron density difficulty in characterizing p-type doping and the lack of a lattice-matched substrate indium nitride remains perhaps the least understood III-V semiconductor. Covering the epitaxial growth experimental characterization theoretical understanding and device potential of this semiconductor and its alloys this book is essential reading for both established researchers and those new to the field.
