Handbook on Ageing with Disability

Handbook on Ageing with Disability

Mainstream gerontological scholarship has taken little heed of people ageing with disability and they have also been largely overlooked by both disability and ageing policies and service systems. The Handbook on Ageing with Disability is the first to pull together knowledge about the experience of ageing with disability. It provides a broad look at scholarship in this developing field and across different groups of people with disability in order to form a better understanding of commonalities across groups and identify unique facets of ageing within specific groups. Drawing from academic personal and clinical perspectives the chapters address topics stemming from how the ageing with disability experience is framed the heterogeneity of the population ageing with disability and the disability experience issues of social exclusion health and wellness frailty later life and policy contexts for ageing with disability in various countries. Responding to the need to increase access to knowledge in this field the Handbook provides guideposts for researchers practitioners and policy makers about what matters in providing services developing programmes and implementing policies that support persons ageing with long-term disabilities and their families.

Leading with Love Rehumanising the Workplace

Leading with Love Rehumanising the Workplace

As business becomes more automated power more concentrated and the forces of competition and consumption seem to dominate our lives we are in danger of losing what it is to be human.

Based on this research this book presents a simple framework to help leaders who wish to develop their psychological maturity and apply practices which will enable them to successfully lead with love. | Leading with Love Rehumanising the Workplace

Computational Genomics with R

Computational Genomics with R

Computational Genomics with R provides a starting point for beginners in genomic data analysis and also guides more advanced practitioners to sophisticated data analysis techniques in genomics. The book covers topics from R programming to machine learning and statistics to the latest genomic data analysis techniques. The text provides accessible information and explanations always with the genomics context in the background. This also contains practical and well-documented examples in R so readers can analyze their data by simply reusing the code presented. As the field of computational genomics is interdisciplinary it requires different starting points for people with different backgrounds. For example a biologist might skip sections on basic genome biology and start with R programming whereas a computer scientist might want to start with genome biology. After reading: You will have the basics of R and be able to dive right into specialized uses of R for computational genomics such as using Bioconductor packages. You will be familiar with statistics supervised and unsupervised learning techniques that are important in data modeling and exploratory analysis of high-dimensional data. You will understand genomic intervals and operations on them that are used for tasks such as aligned read counting and genomic feature annotation. You will know the basics of processing and quality checking high-throughput sequencing data. You will be able to do sequence analysis such as calculating GC content for parts of a genome or finding transcription factor binding sites. You will know about visualization techniques used in genomics such as heatmaps meta-gene plots and genomic track visualization. You will be familiar with analysis of different high-throughput sequencing data sets such as RNA-seq ChIP-seq and BS-seq. You will know basic techniques for integrating and interpreting multi-omics datasets. Altuna Akalin is a group leader and head of the Bioinformatics and Omics Data Science Platform at the Berlin Institute of Medical Systems Biology Max Delbrück Center Berlin. He has been developing computational methods for analyzing and integrating large-scale genomics data sets since 2002. He has published an extensive body of work in this area.

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Mathematical statistics typically represents one of the most difficult challenges in statistics particularly for those with more applied rather than mathematical interests and backgrounds. Most textbooks on the subject provide little or no review of the advanced calculus topics upon which much of mathematical statistics relies and furthermore contain material that is wholly theoretical thus presenting even greater challenges to those interested in applying advanced statistics to a specific area. Mathematical Statistics with Applications presents the background concepts and builds the technical sophistication needed to move on to more advanced studies in multivariate analysis decision theory stochastic processes or computational statistics. Applications embedded within theoretical discussions clearly demonstrate the utility of the theory in a useful and relevant field of application and allow readers to avoid sudden exposure to purely theoretical materials. With its clear explanations and more than usual emphasis on applications and computation this text reaches out to the many students and professionals more interested in the practical use of statistics to enrich their work in areas such as communications computer science economics astronomy and public health.
