Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions in Infectious Diseases (Biomolecular Sciences Series)

Book Description

Protein-carbohydrate interactions is an exciting area of research with huge potential for development and exploration. These interactions are both widespread and diverse in biological processes and many play a crucial role in cellular recognition, attachment and adhesion. This is particularly true for host-pathogen interactions that lead to infectious diseases; as the surfaces of cells and pathogens display complex carbohydrate structures and carbohydrate binding proteins on their surface.

Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions in Infectious Diseases is part of the Biomolecular Science Series and provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, with contributions from leading experts in the field. Beginning with a general introduction, subsequent sections include:

- Atomic basis of protein-carbohydrate Interactions

- Structures and roles of Pseudomonas areuginosa lectins

- Protein-carbohydrate interactions in enterobacterial infections

- Retrocylcins: miniature lectins with potent antiviral activity

- C-type lectin receptors that regulate pathogen recognition through the recognition of carbohydrates

- Synthetic carbohydrate-based anti-malarial vaccines and glycobiology

- With full colour throughout and an extensive bibliography this book is ideal for researchers interested in the area

Book Description

The elucidation during the latter half of the 20th century of the mechanisms by which information flows from nucleic acids to proteins has completely changed the face of biological research. Many diseases are caused by abnormalities in control mechanisms which are not immediately essential for life itself but which maintain the normal social behavior of differentiated cells in multicellular organisms. The complex sugar chains of glycoproteins and glycolipids are believed to play important roles in the control of cellular functions and in recognition between the cell and its cellular and fluid environment. Investigations into the abnormalities of complex sugar chain assembly are expected to yield an important new underatanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of human diseases. This volume discusses several representative diseases which emphasize the current status of glycopathology, and will stimulate further research in this exciting field.

Book Description

Since its inception, the theory of fuzzy sets has advanced in a variety of ways and in many disciplines. Applications of fuzzy technology can be found in artificial intelligence, computer science, control engineering, decision theory, expert systems, logic, management science, operations research, robotics, and others. Theoretical advances have been made in many directions.
The primary goal of Fuzzy Set Theory - and its Applications, Fourth Edition is to provide a textbook for courses in fuzzy set theory, and a book that can be used as an introduction. To balance the character of a textbook with the dynamic nature of this research, many useful references have been added to develop a deeper understanding for the interested reader.
Fuzzy Set Theory - and its Applications, Fourth Edition updates the research agenda with chapters on possibility theory, fuzzy logic and approximate reasoning, expert systems, fuzzy control, fuzzy data analysis, decision making and fuzzy set models in operations research. Chapters have been updated and extended exercises are included.

An easy and practical approach to fuzzy set theory.......2004-02-02

The book gives a clear and intuitive description of fuzzy math and its application. The discussions are done neatly and nicely. It doesn't get into hardcore math discussions very much; instead, it focuses on applications and practice. Therefore, it doesn't take much time to get the idea, and you are not bothered with very complex math proofs. The level of the theory is also limited to what needed in application. To my belief this is one of the best books for engineers and applied mathematicians.

Review about Zimmermann's Book !.......2001-01-17

This book is a kind of essential book. The growth in Fuzzy Science has showed more and more possibilities in applications of its concepts. The book shows the vast applicability of Fuzzy in details and how this new approach can be useful in domains with high degree of uncertainty.

Book Description

Fuzzy systems is a mathematical framework for dealing with uncertain, ambiguous, and approximate information. An alternative to traditional binary logic, fuzzy logic has proved to be better suited to solving complex, real world programming problems.**This book provides a concise overview of fuzzy systems theory and its applications. Written by the leading scientists behind the successful Japanese fuzzy systems research effort, the goal of the book is to introduce fuzzy systems as a practical tool. After presenting the basics of fuzzy systems theory, the book presents practical applications of fuzzy systems theory in a wide variety of fields, including artificial intelligence and expert systems, diagnosis, control, robotics, image recognition, databases, and information retrieval.

* Provides a concise introduction to fuzzy systems theory
* Focuses on practical applications of fuzzy systems, and compares the results to the results from other methodologies
* Written by leading Japanese researchers in fuzzy systems theory and applications

Product Description

In 1965 Lotfi Zadeh, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of California in Berkeley, published the first of his papers on his new Fuzzy Set Theory. Since the 1980s this mathematical theory of "unsharp amounts" has been applied in many different fields with great success. The word "fuzzy" has also become very well-known among non-scientists thanks to extensive advertising campaigns for fuzzy-controlled household appliances and to their prominent presence in the media, first in Japan and then in other countries. On the other hand, the story of how Fuzzy Set Theory and its earliest applications originated remains largely unknown.

In this book, the history of Fuzzy Set Theory and the ways it was first used are incorporated into the history of 20th century science and technology. Influences from philosophy, system theory and cybernetics stemming from the earliest part of the 20th century are considered alongside those of communication and control theory from mid-century.

Today, Fuzzy Set Theory is the core discipline of "soft computing," and provides new impetus for research in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Book Description

This book is concerned with three main themes. The first deals with ordering structures such as Riesz spaces and lattice ordered groups and their relation to measure and integration theory. The second is the idea of fuzzy sets, which is quite new, particularly in measure theory. The third subject is the construction of models of quantum mechanical systems, mainly based on fuzzy sets. In this way some recent results are systematically presented.
Audience: This volume is suitable not only for specialists in measure and integration theory, ordered spaces, probability theory and ergodic theory, but also for students of theoretical and applied mathematics.
