Despite success with treatment when diagnosed early, breast cancer is still one of the most fatal forms of cancer for women. Imaging diagnosis is still one of the most efficient ways to detect early breast changes with mammography among the most used techniques. However, there are other techniques that have emerged as alternatives or even complementary tests in the early detection of breast lesions (e.g., breast thermography and electrical impedance tomography). Artificial intelligence can be used to optimize image diagnosis, increasing the reliability of the reports and supporting professionals who do not have enough knowledge or experience to make good diagnoses.

O câncer infanto-juvenil apresenta características que o torna diferente do câncer em adultos, como por manifestar uma progressão mais rápida nessa população. Dessa forma, tal obra objetiva explorar o universo da Oncologia Pediátrica, visto que a pronta suspeita diagnóstica e o ágil tratamento são imprescindíveis para um bom prognóstico. Nesse sentido, os capítulos foram construídos a fim de compreender aspectos epidemiológicos, fisiopatológicos, clínicos e terapêuticos dos cânceres mais prevalentes nessa faixa etária. A finalidade dessa coletânea é contribuir de forma significativa com a comunidade científica por meio da democratização de conceitos e peculiaridades que estão englobados nessa temática.
This book presents the fundamentals of swarm intelligence, from classic algorithms to emerging techniques. It presents comprehensive theoretical foundations and examples using the main Computational Intelligence methods in programming languages such as Python, Java and MATLAB®. Real-world applications are also presented in areas as diverse as Medicine, Biology and industrial applications. The book is organized into two parts. The first part provides an introduction to swarming algorithms and hybrid techniques. In the second part, real world applications of swarm intelligence are presented to illustrate how swarm algorithms can be used in applications of optimization and pattern recognition, reviewing the principal methods and methodologies in swarm intelligence.
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

Ethnozoology: Animals In Our Lives represents the first book about this discipline, providing a discussion on key themes on human-animal interactions and their implications, along with recent major advances in research. Humans share the world with a bewildering variety of other animals, and have interacted with them in different ways. This variety of interactions (both past and present) is investigated through ethnozoology, which is a hybrid discipline structured with elements from both the natural and social sciences, as it seeks to understand how humans have perceived and interacted with faunal resources throughout history. In a broader context, ethnozoology, and its companion discipline, ...
Yoshiro thinks he might never die. A hundred years old and counting, he is one of Japan's many 'old-elderly'; men and women who remember a time before the air and the sea were poisoned, before terrible catastrophe promted Japan to shut itself off from the rest of the world. He may live for decades yet, but he knows his beloved great-grandson - born frail and prone to sickness - might not survive to adulthood. Day after day, it takes all of Yoshiro's sagacity to keep Mumei alive. As hopes for Japan's youngest generation fade, a secretive organisation embarks on an audacious plan to find a cure - might Yoshiro's great-grandson be the key to saving the last children of Tokyo?
