Compared with other disease areas, central nervous system (CNS) disorders have had the highest failure rate for new compounds in advanced clinical trials. Most CNS drugs fail because of efficacy, and the core issue underlying these problems is a poor understanding of disease biology. Concern about the poor productivity in neuroscience drug development has gained intensity over the past decade, amplified by a retraction in investment from the pharmaceutical industry. This retreat by industry has been fueled by the high failure rate of compounds in advanced clinical trials for nervous system disorders.

Predictive Policing and The Construction of The ‘Criminal’ An Ethnographic Study of Delhi Police


Free Download Shivangi Narayan, "Predictive Policing and The Construction of The ‘Criminal’: An Ethnographic Study of Delhi Police "
English | ISBN: 3031401018 | 2023 | 147 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This book provides a cultural investigation of the police in India and how it uses data and algorithmic tools for crime mapping.The book draws on an ethnographic study of Delhi Police’s hotspot mapping endeavour. It provides a sociological investigation of the police in India and how they use data and algorithmic tools for crime mapping. It discusses how ‘criminals’ are constructed in these systems, typically, the marginalised residents of slums and immigrant colonies. It explores how the algorithm reifies existing assumptions and prejudices about ‘criminals’ as artificial intelligence systems are deeply intertwined with the culture and beliefs of those who make and use them. It pays special attention to the discriminatory practices of relevant police officers and how this ‘predictive’ policing perpetuates harm to the most marginalised. This book contributes to discussions around big data and surveillance studies broadly.

Optimized Predictive Models in Health Care Using Machine Learning


Free Download Optimized Predictive Models in Health Care Using Machine Learning
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1394174624 | 444 Pages | EPUB | 7 MB
The book focuses on how humans and computers interact to ever-increasing levels of complexity and simplicity and provides content on the theory of optimized predictive model design, evaluation, and user diversity. Predictive modeling, a field of machine learning, has emerged as a powerful tool in healthcare for identifying high-risk patients, predicting disease progression, and optimizing treatment plans. By leveraging data from various sources, predictive models can help healthcare providers make informed decisions, resulting in better patient outcomes and reduced costs.

Hybrid PID Based Predictive Control Strategies for WirelessHART Networked Control Systems (2024)


Free Download Sabo Miya Hassan, Rosdiazli Ibrahim, Nordin Saad, "Hybrid PID Based Predictive Control Strategies for WirelessHART Networked Control Systems"
English | 2020 | pages: 165 | ISBN: 3030477363, 3030477398 | PDF | 10,7 mb
Recent advances in wireless technology have led to the emergence of industry standards such as WirelessHART. These strategies minimise the need for cumbersome cabling, thereby reducing costs. However, applying them involves the challenge of handling stochastic network delays, which can degrade control performance. To address this problem, commonly used simple PID could be employed. However, PID suffers from gain range limitations when used in a delayed environment. Furthermore, model-based controllers are complex and require exact models of the process and systematic system identification for implementation.

q-RASAR A Path to Predictive Cheminformatics


Free Download q-RASAR: A Path to Predictive Cheminformatics
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031520564 | 168 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 8 MB
This brief offers an introduction to the fascinating new field of quantitative read-across structure-activity relationships (q-RASAR) as a cheminformatics modeling approach in the background of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) and read-across (RA) as data gap-filling methods. It discusses the genesis and model development of q-RASAR models demonstrating practical examples. It also showcases successful case studies on the application of q-RASAR modeling in medicinal chemistry, predictive toxicology, and materials sciences. The book also includes the tools used for q-RASAR model development for new users. It is a valuable resource for researchers and students interested in grasping the development algorithm of q-RASAR models and their application within specific research domains.
